Is Omnigraffle worth the expense?

[tonyoevans]

Hi,

I am after an app for the iPad that will let me quickly put together the following sort of diagrams

Process flows
Mind maps
Webpage mockups

Have seen Omnigraffle, but compared to most apps in iTunes it is a great deal more at £30. Prepared to pay the cash if it was good, but without a trial or lite version its a gamble.

Does anyone here have experience of it or can recommend an alternative?

Cheers

I've used OmniGraffle as well as other apps like Ideate (I give it a C-), iThoughtsHD (A+), iMockups (B) and I have to say - OmniGraffle is fantastic. They've really put a lot of work into it and unlike some other apps, it's truly useable and not just a "cool idea" type of app. If you want to be able to do flowcharts or other charts, OG is well worth it.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Looks as though I will be spending the cash on OG

SketchyPad is another option at $4.99.
