Front/Back Ordering Flaw Fixed! Kudos to the Developer. – Flowdia - Flowchart, Mind Maps & Network Diagrams Review

Updated as of 6 Feb 2019: My rating is upgraded to 5-stars in recognition of the developer’s superb and thoughtful effort to address the concerns raised in my previous reviews. Those have been fully resolved, making this app, in my view, the most effective diagramming app in the store. It is easy to use, and very stable. This is the app to buy if you need to do any type of diagramming such as flow charts, organization charts, swim diagrams, process diagrams, etc. It has enormous flexibility, that greatly enhances the user’s creativity. Previous comments: Please see my previous review of Version 1.4.2, which discusses a flaw in the program related to the unstable front/back ordering of graphic entities in a diagram. This flaw now has not been fixed in two updates to the app. This could be a really great app, but losing the front/back ordering every time you save and re-open a diagram is a huge distraction. In one diagram, I had to re-order 22 graphic entities to recover my previous work, and worse yet, if I ever want to edit that same diagram, I will have to go back and re-order those same 22 entities again - and hope that my iPad does not go to a lock screen in the process, as any re-ordering that I might have done will be lost again. Re: the Developer’s comment that re-ordering the front/back placement of text boxes does not work like other graphical entities - The Settings tab for a text box clearly includes the ability to change the front/back location of the text box - and the feature does work - temporarily. BUT, what the app does NOT do is actually save the front/back location you set. I do not need a rather elaborate feature to customize the text location in an auto-healing line or connector. I just want the settings I make on a text box, as provided by the app, to be saved like any other edit I make to a diagram
