10 Reviews For This Extension
Can't render most of the graphics in this vsdx file. Can't export or save without signing up for a plan. Somehow crashed the whole browser window where I attempted to run it.
Installed the plugin - Opened the file, looked good. Tested saving or printing features but got thrown right into the "Give us your info before you can test any further." - Nope! It's 2020, and if your product is good, people will come back and no need to gather additional information - You could already tracking the IP where the requests coming from, time, date, etc. for marketing purposes...I gave it a three stars for its capability to open the visio file, but decided not to proceed further nor even seriously consider buying the product for backward and frown upon gathering people info policy.
Doesn't work
Not an extension actually. Just a facade for the web site.
Doesn't support R2L language (e.g. Hebrew). The texts all all mirrored. NO USE.
This is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS chrome extension. Once you use it with a diagram it gets uploaded as hosted on lucidcharts.com. Its content is left PUBLIC FOR THE WORLD and you are not given the option to delete it or restrict access to it afterwards. This leaves the diagram's content available to anyone in the world who knows the URL. PLEASE TAKE EXTREME CARE NOT TO UPLOAD SENSITIVE CONTENT!!! If you've uploaded content and you need to delete it you can fill in a support case as suggested on https://lucidchart.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000688683-Delete-a-file-uploaded-as-guest and pray that they accept you as the owner and proceed to delete the diagram from their servers.
Works perfectly for me and is exactly what I needed.
Review doesn't actually let you view Visio files, it sends all of your information to their web server for it to convert it to a web page (and presumably keep a copy of your file).
It cannot open .vsd file from sharepoint using URL, only files from disk. But otherwise it's good visio viewer with capabilities like zooming, panning, fulscreen presentation, publishing and others. It offers paid features for creating and editing visio charts.
The viewer displays vsd document alright. But export to pdf, or print or save requires subscription or signing up. But when I try to sign up, it just kept complaining about server error. Rubbish.
