What is Lucidchart?
Lucidchart is a visual workspace that combines diagramming, collaboration, and data visualization to accelerate understanding and drive innovation. With this intuitive, cloud-based solution, everyone can work visually and collaborate in real time while whiteboarding, brainstorming, or building flowcharts, mockups, UML diagrams, and more. Lucidchart is utilized in over 180 countries by more than 20 million users, from remote teams brainstorming creative solutions to IT directors visualizing their network infrastructure.
Ninety-nine percent of the Fortune 500 use Lucidchart, and customers include Google, GE, NBC Universal, and Johnson & Johnson. Since the Utah-based company's founding in 2010, it has received numerous awards for its product, business, and workplace culture.
Lucidchart also releases updates to user accounts every month so the program continues to improve as you use it. We support Visio import and export, and you can export your diagram as a PDF or image. Lucidchart includes all the standard libraries that you would expect from a Visio alternative, including: flowcharts, swimlanes, ERD, wireframes, Venn diagrams, mind mapping and other specialized libraries. If you don't find the library that you are looking for, you can always create your own by importing .svg files into a new custom library.
Lucidchart is most often compared to Microsoft Visio. They are both enterprise-level diagramming products. As a Visio alternative SaaS offering, Lucidchart allows users to work on the same document at the same time as their colleagues in any modern browser.

Was looking for something quick, easy and cheap to do flowcharts. I trialled a couple of programs both offline and online and Lucidchart was the best one I found (must admit I stopped looking after using Lucidchart). I found it very easy to use without needing any instructions, the couple of issues I couldn't figure out for myself was able to figure out quickly with their online community help. I'd highly recommend Lucidchart.
First of all, let me start by saying I've used practically every diagraming, chart-making, and wire-framing tool on the market--from desktop applications like Omnigraffle and Microsoft Visio to web-based alternatives like Gliffy and Draw.io. Of any of the tools I've used, Lucidchart is the most versatile, the most robust, and certainly the most user-friendly.
Because Lucidchart is web-based, it works equally well on Mac's, Windows machines, and Linux boxes. Gone are the days of having 3 separate tools for 3 different operating systems. Unlike Lucidchart's competitors, Lucidchart is capable of importing AND exporting Microsoft Visio files. It is also able to import Gliffy and Omnigraffle files, as well as Visio stencil files.
Lucidchart's robust shape library makes it a good fit for just about any project. If you can't find a built-in shape library for whatever you're doing, Lucidchart can import both SVG files and Visio Stencil files. In addition, it supports fully-interactive documents with embeddable videos, clickable areas, and the ability to embed your document on your own site, in Atlassian's Confluence/JIRA applications, and in your Google Drive documents.
TL;DR: Lucidchart is fantastic, and I highly recommend it.
I don't like the idea of the software being web-based. By assuming every person making a flowchart is working with a global network of colleagues in a world where Internet is accessible everywhere, the simple use of a flowchart software is omitted.
You can give Creately a try. They do offer a desktop software which cost 75$, which is lot cheaper than MS Visio. However If you are only trying to draw a simple flowchart then something like MS Word or Paint is also fine.

I don't like the subscription model. I want to buy software, use it offline where and when I choose to do so. .vss import is a nice plus. I'm sticking with Droiddia for now, because of the freedom it offers.

Very easy to use, no frills. Gets the job done quickly and effectively.
I would like to rate all web-based app only 1 star. These software company only focus how to ensure the money getting, instead of considering people work off-line, or in poor internet. If you consider the people in poor condition do not have the right to use your software, yes you did.
Highly usable, easy to get started, and has a large library of templates and tutorial videos. Disadvantages are that it doesn't support interchange formats for easy import or additional processing in other apps. SVG support is buggy (text isn't editable). Also some shapes are unintuitive, like venn diagrams, which do not support text of any kind.
it is great it has
but there is weakness such as
