OmniGraffle 7 for Android

Bought this App for hundreds of dollars back in 2017. Haven't had to use it since then. But I was always secure in knowing that if I had to do Vizio like things on my Android I'd have this tool to fall back on. Now in 2022 I try to use it and it's not recognizing my prior purchase. My email address and/or Google account has not changed since then. I understand they switched to their own bespoke login system seperate from individual license keys. But this is ridiculous. I'll have to reach out to support to get my new "Omni Account" associated with my prior App Store purchase.

Unfortunately, Omni Graffle does not only not support the basic idea of Sidecar it causes the application to crash the whole computer.

After installing it, I was required to create an account on their site. Upon entering the necessary account information, and confirming my email address, which I did, I was told that it was not available. The only option was to "start over" only the "start over" button did nothing. I will be moving it into the trash can, where it belongs.

I constantly ask myself why I'm continuing to mess with this app. It's clunky UI and tedious fiddling required to do anything takes 10x the time of doing it in another tool. Illustrator is even superior for many tasks. OmniGraffle needs a rewrite. I'm constantly hitting odd bugs and running up against strange UI choices. Just when you start to get used to its idiosynchrasies, you hit yet another wall with this app. Like, where's the Arc tool?!! Attempting to move small objects sometimes stretches them, instead. Even copy/paste doesn't place the pasted object under the pointer. It's sometomes on top of the copied one, or even off the screen somewhere! It's just so frustrating.

The template setup isn't great right now. If you're trying to mind-map, or you're trying to build an architecture diagram, or even an ERD, this tool just doesn't get the job done anymore. It's been a long time since this app has met my needs, and it hurts to say so.
