Default First Diagramming For Pocket PC

http://www.matterandmotion.com/Products

"First is a PocketPC and Windows Mobile application for creating and viewing associative diagrams. First is very simple to use, yet powerful enough for advanced applications. Unlike some other applications, First has been designed specifically for PocketPC pen-based devices. Every aspect of the software has been carefully considered to create the most productive and enjoyable experience possible."



First is $29.95.

As a technical person, you don't know how valuable this will be for me. I'm so there!

Honestly, when I see these screenshots I don't want to buy this product. These shots are from an *ancient* version of PocketPC OS and there is a huge chance that this application won't run on WM2003SE or WM5 *if* it has not been explicity tested there too.

The company who wrote this program should release more recent screenshots cause it makes the app look ancient (even if it's not).

Default No Demo?

They should also provide a demo version, which last time I checked was not available. I am not willing to gamble $30 when there is so much poorly written software out there. It might be the greatest program ever written, but in my experience companies that write great programs are quick to provide demo versions.

I found the FAQs very helpful.

Is this a test?
Yes, all indications are that this is actually a test. If it was not a test, there would be something to justify the existence of this bullet item -- obviously, there isn't.
How about this?
Yes, again, this is just a test.

$30 !! I reckon they should put down the price to something like $10(I mean it). I need this app, but, no way I'm going to spend so much on a simple app

Have you ever tried http://www.pocketdraw.com/

It seems like a lot more professional looking, similar to a cut down Visio

It costs the same, but at least it has a demo.

Default Demo Version

A demo version of First Diagramming (1.1) is now available at the Matter and Motion website. The screenshots, unfortunately, are still old.

Default First Diagramming 1.2

I just wanted to let you all know that I've release version 1.2 of First Diagramming this evening. The download URL is below. This version is a substantial upgrade to 1.1 and incudles the following changes:
  • New: Rich set of new Flowchart shapes (see "Tools | Shape Library...").
  • New: Sample template files for Concept Maps and Simple Flowcharts.
  • New: Sorted items in the Insert menu.
  • New: ZigZag and Angle routing styles.
  • New: Improved placement for start and end text on links.
  • Fixed: Only able to select links at "joints" (now able to select on segments).
  • Fixed: Shapes removed from document did not appear in Shape Library dialog as unchecked.
  • Fixed: Crash at exit.
  • Fixed: Dropdown list in the shape substitution dialog was truncated to one line in HIRES mode.
  • Fixed: Added ability to enter authorization information before the demo trial expires (see "Tools | About First...")

I'm interested in getting as much feedback as I can on how it works/doesn't work, feature suggestions and real-world samples and templates from folks putting it to good use. Use the contact form at the website for best results:
