- (2019-10-18) Philip Coekin: Exceptionally easy to use, highly flexible and enables direct printing or downloading to my MAC for further adaptation.
- (2019-04-24) Ken Aitchison: You can go to Drive settings > Manage Apps, find Lucidchart, click Options and Disconnect from Drive. But it will not be disconnected, and the option will disappear. So be warned. When you consent to share your Drive with Lucidchart, it will be forever. It may be a shortcoming of Drive apps itself, or Lucidchart may have done this intentionally by renaming their app from "Lucidchart" to "Lucidchart for Education". Regardless, the net effect is the same. If you are not comfortable with the idea that you may be unable to revoke account access to a marketplace app in the future, your only recourse is to NOT CONNECT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

- (2013-08-21) Joe H.: If you're a student of anything that requires a process (medicine, engineering, etc), get this app. You won't know how you ever consolidated information without it.
- (2013-08-14) James Monti: I love this application! It is easy to use, and powerful. We started using Inspiration years ago, and this app does it just as well, and free to educators. WOW!
- (2013-07-29) Andrea Mercanti: The best app for diagrams
- (2013-07-01) Vicky Pyne: Very impressed with this application - simple and neat and works great with its integration with Google Drive.
- (2013-06-06) Kanay Khakhria: Its not free - its just a 14 day trial.
- (2013-05-22) Kasper Nielsen: Perfect! Started with the free version, and loved it! Tried to find an alternative, as the 60 figures limitation would be bad for my exam, but then I read about the education programme. Its so awesome! Dataflow and diagramming is now a piece of cake, cant wait for my next assignment :)
- (2013-05-15) Basiyr Rodney: I have been using this app with my undergrad students and graduate students as well as for teacher professional development. Used it over a year now. It is very clean, is intuitive and interfaces with Google Drive. It is easy to use. After about 30 mins students usually know how to create rich diagrams and graphic organizers. Tried a few other cloud apps from the store. Lucid Chart is still the most ideal for my classes.
- (2013-03-28) Brian Holt: Beautiful. And not worth paying for it. I'm an educator, not
- (2013-03-23) Brian McLane: I am using Lucidchart in a rather unique way. I teach a high school desktop publishing class, and I like to have students work in the cloud. After the Aviary Creative Suite shut down, I have struggled to find an online page layout application that I liked. I tried Fatpaint, but found it to be too clunky. I decided to look into some diagramming and mind-mapping apps, and I found that we can easily create flyers, business cards, etc. in Lucidchart if we just start with a blank page. And with Lucidchart for Education, I can set up class projects which students share with me. I can even watch thumbnails of their projects live as the students update them!
- (2013-03-20) Ramme G: good
- (2013-03-18) Robert Parrilla: So far I like this diagramming app better than others in the Store. It is clean and intuitive. It will come in handy for my class.
- (2013-03-12) Gianluca Chaffey: Great app. Even after a quick test-run, I could see my future projects unraveling in no time. From lab reports to simple planning schemes that I can share with classmates, this app is filled with what I have been looking for in a day-to-day tool.
- (2013-02-20) Steve Fowler: This is a excellent program for doing several types of diagrams. I like the fact that is compatible with desktop apps like Visio.
- (2013-02-20) Lasse Samson: A great app. I have used it for creating UML diagrams for a software project and it worked fairly well.
- (2013-02-18) Arturo Gomez del Castillo: This app is really amazing!!! I have just quickly tried it but ... for sure I will give it a go for real projects. It's what I've been looking for some time now. Just one little thing, it's not really intuitive how to add more icon groups to the left side menu or ... at least UML should be there by default. Tip: When you are on a document, click on the 'More Shapes' button in the bottom left corner. There you can select to open other shape libraries like UML, network diagrams, mind maps ... (Thanks David)
- (2013-01-05) Marc Rabell: In a word: Thanks! What a perfect piece of cloud software. Diagramming that works, all you will need for diagramming is here.
- (2012-12-26) Aleksander Pałkowski: Awesome chrome app! The diagrams are really nice and all students and academics can get the pro features, which is so great!
