Grafio 3 – Diagrams and Ideas [2]

What’s It Like? 

Grafio is a diagramming (and presentation ) iOS app for creating graphs, vector charts, storyboards, infographics, flowcharts, diagrams, and anything that uses text, shapes, or visual representations. Begin by drawing shapes with your finger or stylus. Shapes are automatically closed, straightened, and made into the best versions of themselves possible via the built-in shape-recognition algorithms. Most basic shapes are recognized, and doodles will also be made tidier.

Price: $8

Grades: 9-12

Rating: 4/5

Pros: Customizable features tidy up drawings and serve a wealth of uses.

Cons: Precise movements can be hard with fingers or stylus, and files are only editable within the app.

Bottom line: A terrific choice for creating simple diagrams or presentations on iOS.
