[APP] DrawExpress Diagram - a gesture recognition diagram app
I like to share this gesture recognition app for those who like to draw ideas, concepts and designs fast. It is designed purely for speed and simplicity. Almost everything is using gesture so check out the youtube video, our website and the starting tips. Please provide any feedback to help us improve it.

Here are some helpful starting tips:
� To Pan the surface, you use two fingers and maintain the same spacing between them. Using the thumb and the index finger seems to be the easiest for me.
� When selecting a shape or a group of shapes, you can delete it by drawing �x� or copy it by drawing �+�. You can draw anywhere on the canvas but don�t draw it bigger than 1/3 of the screen.
� You are likely to draw unwanted lines or unrecognized shapes in red strokes. Simply touch the surface with two fingers will clear those lines. However, you should ignore it and continue to draw over it with a successful shape or action and these unwanted lines will automatically go away. Do NOT Use the �undo button� for these red strokes.
� When drawing connectors, you should try to start in the middle of the first shape and end your connector stroke within the middle of the second shape. Any point within the shape is still ok.
� You can select a boundary box by touching its border only. Likewise, you can double tap on the border for labeling.
� Check out our website tutorial slides for other drawing gestures (DrawExpress).

US, here. just closed and reopened appworld. Still not available but it is probably not your fault. May take some more time.
Re: [APP] DrawExpress Diagram - a gesture recognition diagram app
Looks great, I was planning on buying it, sadly when I open the link to the appworld I get : "Not supported by your current device profile." Looks like my country is not supported, I am from Mexico.

I still get the Not supported by your current device profile message when opening the link to the app in my playbook.

Thanks, just bought it, the app is available for my country now.

This is exactly what I was after, well done.
The upcoming additions look good.
The gesture based operation is not obvious when you use it for the first time, and you end up getting a little frustrated. I needed to go to your website and watch the youtube clip before I could use it. After that, it is very easy. I think you need to offer a short tutorial at the start of a fresh install.
The text formatting options could be easier to use. Remembering the different nmemonics could be a problem for some. Maybe add a short toolbar when adding text with the options available.

This really is an excellent news. In this area you may possibly consider contacting the dev from the app 'ClipBoard' whose ambition is to allow handling multiple successive clipboards (at this time he does this only for text, of course). Combining the two of you may become a step ahead of any others...
Apart from this I'm having a hard time with your 'Projects' function. First I spent quite a time before discovering one is to switch between different project tabs by sliding over them not just 'clicking' (would definitely be worth telling) .
But I have more difficulties: at the time being, it seems that, erratically, when switching from one project to another, the associated files just do not appear (in fact you see no file at all). Then, after some frantic tab-switching again, the files sometimes miraculously reappear. Some other times the files from the previous project continue to appear when I switch to the next, but are then not selectable. Last thing: how can I delete a project or a specific file?
All in all I feel a bit like I shouldn't create new projects, or I may lose files :(
So, there may be something I didn't understood, but I'd appreciate some kind of 'how-to' that would tell me exactly how to locate a given file in a given project, then switch to another project, see the distinct associated files, and choose one to edit...
