![]() Once you have two shapes, you can “connect” them by simply drawing a line between them. ![]() To modify a shape, tap the “select” button and then change the color, outline, opacity and shadow of a shape. The free library contains most shapes that a legal professional will ever need, but for another $5.99 in-app purchase, you can get all of the additional libraries (or each library is also sold separately). ![]() If you don’t like drawing, you can pull a shape, arrow, pictogram, etc. I like ensuring “Shape Recognition” is turned on in Preferences so that when you roughly sketch a shape, Grafio will clean it up and make it pretty. Whichever way you start, just start somewhere – you can always perfect it later. You can start a new diagram from scratch or there are a number of examples you can download for free to get you started. Thank goodness there is an UNDO button that I tapped frequently when I first started using Grafio. If you DON’T take the time to get familiar with the gestures and tools, you WILL get frustrated while using the app. The one-page “Detailed Help” section is also handy and the pop-up “tool tips” can be toggled on and off. Grafio does an excellent job of introducing these tools in the “on-boarding” process the first time you launch the app. Like most iOS apps, Grafio is straightforward to use, BUT it does require a small investment of time to make sure you’re comfortable with the specific gestures and tools in the app. I’ve been recommending Grafio for years as one of the most enjoyable ways to create visual diagrams on the iPad for such things as flowcharts, decision trees for a client, family trees to map relationships, corporate organizational charts, etc. There is a free, limited “ Lite” version if you want to try it out before committing to the full-featured app. Grafio is a universal app for both the iPhone and iPad available for $7.99 and requires iOS 8.0 and higher. Today’s app is Grafio from Bulgarian-based developer TenTouch.
