MyDraw Reviews

Summary: Need only some improvement and then it is highly recommended. if they can fix the starting screen (loading problem) it will be my best app.

Positive: Easy to use.
Fast inside the app.
Pro features but free.
Free updates.
High refresh rate work.
Editing is super easy.

Negative: Very slow when it starts up.
If you want to start new file the loading screen feels like forever.

Summary: Overall it is a useful tool for drawing and has been a welcome tool in my kitty. Support for MS Visio has been a plus point.

Positive: I like the features and the simplicity in the UI. The app is also regularly updated which promises new features.

Negative: I don't have anything specifically negative to report.

Summary: No matter what your job role is from writing software to writing a novel, MyDraw can help you visualize better once you get the hang of it. Visual thinking is an amazing way to boost creativity and it helps you do just that.

Positive: - Very easy to learn and teach, thereby saving a lot of time for teams migrating from other apps.
- The overall process and workflow can be done much quicker than in apps like Visio. Hence a lot of time is saved.

Negative: - It would be nice to have multiple installs on a single license as people work with laptops and desktops from time to time.
- The platform is still evolving and some things may not be available sometimes. A minor problem though.

Summary: I use MyDraw for designing purpose of computer coding that my boss or my organization ask me to do. MyDraw provides me the right templates needed for diagrams . It has a simple user interface that allows me to do efficient work with freedom.

Positive: I find it so cool for designing assignment, it has an edge over CAD. I found MyDraw exceptionally easy to use diagram for developing initial designs for my need.

Negative: It asks for one time fee about 70 dollars, which is quite high. It should be looked at.

Summary: I starting using My Draw as an alternative to Visio. It has proved to be reliable and robust.

Positive: - Ease of use.
- Range of features.
- Price.

Negative: - Limited resolution (e.g. grid spacing).
- Alignment capabilities are limited (e.g. expanding shapes with connected lines).

Summary: I like it. It's not quite the same so its tricky sometimes. I would say also look at a new design that doesn't look like Visio. Make it a bit more funky.

Positive: I like the design of the layout and the stencils. the about of time taken with the different options is great.

Negative: I struggle with snap placement stuff. e.g. I am putting a line between two objects and it always tries and snaps to the centre. Super annoying and Visio doesn't do that. I would say your boundary points of the centre of the object are way too wide. if it just worked a bit more like Visio or there was a more basic drawing mode which allowed you to just draw stuff without it caring about all the points on the object.

Summary: It had expired before I experienced much. The vector drawing tool and a good number of nice templates are good to see, but an absence of even a basic chemistry drawing tool is something that will make me stay away from this software. Thanks.

Positive: # User-friendly interface
# Vector drawing tool
# Nice templates
# Small footprint; takes only ~ 150 MB when open but no task running (version 4.3.0)

Negative: # Not suitable for even basic chemistry drawing
# My download of the version 4.3.0 had "unlimited" license when downloaded using a giveaway (as far as I remember), but today I find the message, "The evaluation period has expired".

Summary: I’d say the pros make this software to be a reasonable alternative for Mac OS users—assuming you’re willing to put up w/the non-standard and clunky interface.

Positive: Several useful features for a drawing program, easy to use, lots of templates, and reasonable pricing plan.

Negative: Needs a better/standard Mac OS interface. It’s a little slow so somewhat clunky to use.

Summary: Globally it seems to be a very promising product but there is a strange feeling using it with some king of lack of fluidity.

Positive: Interesting and promising product. Interesting product because it fills a gap under Mac OS X.

Negative: Strange ergonomic behavior on Mac OSX.
Does not seems to be a native product.
Not very comfortable.

Summary: I think they should work on the user experience a lot, for me as a Mac user it feels not native enough to have fun using it.

Positive: MyDraw is quite easy to use with a lot of symbol libraries helping to achieve fast results from the start.

Negative: UX is a bit out of date. The whole software looks and feel like Shareware from the 90s, the overall performance is not as good as it could be.

Summary: Good thing I bought the software at a discount, it is definitely not worth the original price. But maybe that's the reason why there are so many discount promotions.

Positive: MyDraw works like a macOS program should work, even if the dialogs look more like a Linux app, an adaptation to the macOS guidelines would be nice.

Negative: - the license activation does not work properly
- the license activation is lost when an update is installed.

Summary: I don't have a need to use it that regularly, but when I do, I'd like to be able to rely on it. Unfortunately, problems have arrived after most updates which makes me think their development and testing is not what it should be. Mediocre at best.

Positive: When I first started using this software I was a huge fan, features and functionality were both acceptable but as time has gone on, it has failed to retain my enthusiasm.

Negative: Problems with Licensing Issues and now the latest release not working on Mac. No upgrade has been a smooth/effortless process.

Summary: If I can't open and app and get to work immediately without having to go thru a steep learning curve I tend not to return. This is the case with MyDraw unfortunately.

Positive: Seems to have all the tools one would require.

Negative: I find it very non-intuitive. If I can't open and app and get to work immediately without having to go thru a steep learning curve I tend not to return. This is the case with MyDraw unfortunately.

Summary: I don't like the start we're off to with MyDraw. First the website doesn't work, I tell them the download on the site doesn't work. Then I got an email back stating to download it from the OEM website instead (I was already doing that).

MyDraw looks / appears to have some issues on Mac. I'll bet it works fine on Windows however but, not so much for OSX users.

Positive: Nothing - software download wasn't working for days. Had contacted customer support, finally got it installed only to find out it is not compatible with OSX 10.15.

Fails to launch. Emailed customer support to see if the system requirements are for Big Sur or not.

Negative: Won't run on OSX 10.15. Have to modify the launch settings ini file in the resource directory to disable Mac fonts. It feels like ported and patch-job here.
