The iPad app would be way better with the quick add progression from one box to the next.

Timelines, spiderweb projects.
Incredibly Effective Tool and Easy to Learn
What do you like best about the product?
I did not have experience with Lucid Chart before my current role. We didn't have any superusers but just exploring their tutorials helped me pick it up extremely fast. I made a big impression on my management team and have quickly earned myself a reputation as being a Lucid Chart expert on my team. It's extremely helpful for brainstorming, white boarding, process mapping, creating visuals for slideshows, handouts, embedding in webpages, etc. Double whammy - incredibly effective tool and easy to learn!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I get frustrated with formatting. There are a number of tips and tricks to navigate this, but it requires you to both a) know that the tricks exist and b) how to apply them. Sometimes I wind up wasting time on minor formatting hurdles as a result.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use lucid to display process maps of both current and future state to stakeholders and process owners in the business analysis process. These maps are used for sharing knowledge about the process generally as well as by the development team to build a future state solution which matches the requirements and expectations of the process owner.
Lucid is fantastic for technical architectures and org charts
What do you like best about the product?
UI is intuitive and easy to use. Lucid very clearly displays thoughts/ideas to our prospects and customers and provides details needed to capture important information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing of note to mention that I dislike about Lucid, as I said before it is intuitive and the help section provides great info to solve any challenges on the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complex technical architectures can be easily documented on Lucid and iterated across teams both internal and external.
Critical collaboration software
What do you like best about the product?
LC creates a shared space to express ideas in a distributed team environment that can either immediately translate to business documentation or requirements to align teams across the company
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot - it's a tool I use in both my personal and professional life. If anything, I think the recent changes to the default shape color schema are a little off-putting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work on a distributed team across the world on highly complex issues that cross-cut many product lines. I need a way to communicate these ideas simply - I use Lucid chart for that
Picture worth a thousand word
What do you like best about the product?
Easy sharing with collaborators. Use for both high-level and low-level technical diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
honestly, pretty solid tool... no real complaints...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Technical Diagrams...
One of the most useful tools I use
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is very flexible and great for communicating visually. The number of built-in icons and templates make it very easy to use. I switched from Viso years ago and have never looked back.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike about Lucidchart. If pressed I suppose I would have to say that it would be nice to have the ideation capabilities from Lucidspark (a sister product) built in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do a lot of process mapping and analysis (like bowtie risk analysis). I also use it for creating workflows for our software development team. It helps improve communication and save time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can't recommend it enough. Try it and you will see.
Great Charting Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the Arrange features especially. Making things look pretty is key for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be nice to have more standard shapes included.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We brainstorm architectural designs, data flow, as well as data schemas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out.

The most important tool in my toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
I used Lucidchart for a wide variety of tasks – from planning the renovation of my basement to creating algorithm flow charts and mind-mapping. This tool is extremely versatile and I am sure it has more uses than what I discovered.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor UI glitches, but overall for the value I get from this tool it's easy to ignore any minor problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A wide variety of problems. Primarily I use it for algorithm flow charts, mind-mapping, data structure planning, and work breakdown structures, but I also used it to create a floor plan for my basement.
Diagraming and flow chart standard for everyone!
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how easy it is to adjust and tweak diagrams that you have created. When doing a whiteboarding session with others it is very easy to just draw some shapes initially to keep the conversation moving along, then as others are talking you can just grab the shapes and lines and tweak them to clean up what you have created. Making it sexy is easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it if the custom shapes that I choose to use would carry over across multiple Lucidchart projects, or if the groupings would be part of the standard set of shapes, I tend to group things together for clarity often and find myself repeating the same actions to find and choose those.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large-scale solution designs. Data flow diagramming. Swimlane diagrams for showing how a solution will operate across multiple platforms or services.
Using Lucid has allowed me to showcase my designs to a broad audience and let me communicate effectively with many people who are not as technical as I am. Bridging the gap between tech and non-tech people is what Lucidchart excels at!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
For the cost, Lucidchart is far superior to others. There are some free applications that people say are similar, but none are as easy to use and as reliable as Lucid is.
I have even used Lucidchart to do some planning around the house when we were moving furniture around, they have some great floorplan diagrams for planning.
