MS Visio used to be. Is it still around?

Visio isn't free.   Could use a free trial before buying?  Part of MS Office 365 and it's good. 

I am not a fan of FREE apps (usually come with free malware or worse) unless open source like open office, but when ever I can, I use open office before buying an app.    Open office has a product called Apache which is a flow chart creator.  I would try using it.

I would think Visio would be the main one.  I don't have Visio, so I just use PDFX-Change Editor.  It lets me draw boxes and arrows and stuff, so it works.

I believe Visio does offer a free trial via O365, but there's powerpoint that can be used sometimes, and I'm sure there's a ton of other tools. Let us know if you find something good because I need something like this as well.

I used Chartist for a number of years, pretty basic and simply to use. It's still out there, and very reasonably priced.

We now use SmartDraw, it does flowcharts and whole LOT more that you may not need. It's pretty good, but does way more than the average person probably is looking for.
