FlexiSketch
FlexiSketch is a diagram modeling tool for Android phones and tablets. Define your own diagrams, manage them in your type library and sketch them freehanded: FlexiSketch will recognize your sketched elements! Create UML-like diagrams and export them as jpeg images. The app is ideal when you have to sketch a diagram easily and quickly. No long training time required.

Pretty straight forward, very basic beginner's tool. Needs a bigger library of shapes, grids & snap to line or grid. Need to be able to select between shapes & free hand drawing. Looking forward to seeing improvements.
Perfect when you have 30 minutes to finish a PowerPoint and need to make a blueprint to your initial design fast. Definitely not from personal experience or anything.
Couldnt get started. No instructions
one have to handle the different interface, compared to to the common mapping tools, but its somehow refreshing. maybe some sort of light-grey grid overlay could be useful for placing blocks properly aligned to neigbours at the first shot and without editing again. but thats beta power ;-) . i am interested in trying out future releases, as its imho already grown out of `early` stage.
Few suggestions To improve productivity plz add more gestures e.g. on long hold on image it should be slected and dragged to position. Add few more controls e.g. eraser, drawing pen thickness etc. Over all nice start Thanks
Make sure to watch the video! If I hadn't done so I wouldn't have realized that you can help refine the recognition of shapes - which was really helpful in getting the app to recognize my horrible circle sketches. One feature would make this my default UML sketch tool: the ability to specify that a new shape should be added to the Links menu. Start and end text fields for the connectors would be just pure frosting at that point. Amazing work, I can't wait to see it come out of beta!
I'd like to be able to import an image so i can mark it up. Also, i love the shape recognition, but it would be great if it drew the corrected shape at different sizes, e.g. a small circle will be recognised as a smaller scaled down circle
bugs: 1. a large (~10 objects) diagram causes the save activity to freeze before it is fully displayed. 2. subsequently, app & launcher become unresponsive 3. haven't been able to save an image yet. review: installed on a whim, now totally hooked. the app can use some work to make some tasks less tedious and the connections prettier, but overall this is one of the best android diagram drawing tools, free or paid. i hope it is not abandoned. thanks for making it available!
This app is really neat and the interface is fun to use. However, I currently need to make diagrams with multiple connections between the same pair of objects and I haven't figured out if you can do that here, if it's possible at all
And with all the easy to use grouping and undo options, it is by far the best diagramming app I have ever used.
Great job so far! I see so much potential here. Two things I sorely miss are the palm rejection functionality + word wrap (for adding long text within the shapes). These would make it complete!
Fast, flexible and just plain Cool. Only L wishes: 1. import shapes 2. Selection mode, I Keep drawing little lines on the sceneen that are had to delete
Nice app if you want to draw models fast and you don't like apps that need a lot of learning!Most things are easy to achieve in no time.
Doesn't work on desire s + miui, cannot move shapes, only the overlays showing delete, text etc . Zoom doesn't work either
Finally my search ends after getting this flexible app...small app but really helpful for me.
Great idea to try and combine diagramming and freehand drawing. It's a pity the developer seem to have abandoned this project.
Works very well especially on tablets. Comes handy if you need to sketch quickly some models and has a good algorithm for recognizing designs. Great idea and implementation!
User-friendly tool for those who deal with presentations and lectures. Incredibly simple and then, very useful for creating some slides. Obviously, it needs development (I'm looking forward to see next versions). Congratulations for the author!
For an early beta version, I must say this app is looking very good. Very easy to use and has sufficient features already to make useful diagrams like flowcharts or block diagrams. Thank you for creating this app and keep developing it, I'm sure it'll soon become a very mature product which people will not mind paying for. I will definitely buy it! May I suggest you have a look at Grafio app on iOS to take some inspiration from? Once again, thank you very much. Looking forward to updates. Cheers, Kapil
Would love it even more if it had a dotted line along with rest of the usable shapes.
With a few features such as more colors, this could be great.
Great App... Please add the option to change the font size.
Love to see where this is getting...
5 stars for the effort.

Doest work well on a galaxy s3. Interface is annoying to use.
Had few bugs which rendered the application not usable, nice UI though...
Very interesting concept. When I draw shapes, it recognizes rectangles but doesn't substitute them for actual rectangles. Also, it would be nice to be able to rotate objects. Thank you!
