Draw Anywhere lets users create almost any kind of professional drawing from anywhere. Everything is web based so there is no downloading required. The user can hop on Draw Anywhere and begin creating an attractive, well organized flowchart, diagram, organizational chart, and more. The site is designed to streamline the creation process and make the finished product viewable from anywhere with access to the internet. There are export options as well in case the user wants to download their Draw Anywhere creation.
Draw Anywhere is a part of Belltech Systems, Inc., which is based out of Issaquah, Washington. Belltech Systems produces many products that are designed to help businesses. Along with Draw Anywhere, Belltech Systems also offers business card design software, screen capture tools, and a small business publisher. Their non-business related software includes a greeting card creator and scrapbook design studio. Today, Draw Anywhere has proven a functional, helpful tool which is further highlighted by the customer list posted on the site.
There are many tools capable of creating an attractive, well organized graph or diagram. However, Draw Anywhere has two benefits that many of these tools do not offer. The first is its user friendly nature. Anyone can create a professional diagram or graph with ease on Draw Anywhere. The second is accessibility. Draw Anywhere does not require an installation or download of any kind. Users can create their graphs or diagrams and access them online. There are download options, in case the user prefers to go that route, but it is not a requirement to access the finished drawing.
From its uniquely elegant Draw Anywhere logo to its soft green and grey color scheme, the Draw Anywhere website welcomes visitors. It is a very user friendly website that includes colorful images in a way that doesn’t detract from the rest of the content. The drawing tools are easy to use and designed for many different types of users, including business professionals, educators, and individuals.
Visitors can sign up for Draw Anywhere by clicking on the blue “Sign Up” link found at the top right hand corner of the homepage, just under the logo. The user is directed to the registration form, which asks for a name, organization name, email address, password, and where the user heard about Draw Anywhere. The form also notes that by submitting their information, they are agreeing to the terms of service. After entering the information and clicking on the grey “Sign Up –for a free account” button, the user can begin accessing Draw Anywhere features.
Draw Anywhere provides users with three account types, which are ideal for various budgets. The least expensive is the basic account, which is free. This membership type allows the user to create up to three diagrams, store up to 10 MBs of files, and provide access to a limited number of users (not specified). The mid-range membership runs about $30 per year and upgrades to include unlimited diagrams, 1 GB of storage space, unlimited users that have limited access, the ability to upload images, and the ability to export diagrams as a PDF. The most expensive Draw Anywhere membership costs about $180 per year and upgrades to include SSL security, 1 GB of storage space per user, and unlimited users.
Anyone that needs to draw a diagram or chart could appreciate Draw Anywhere. The site maximizes access by eliminating the download requirement. Of course users that wish to download their files can. The three membership types also makes it easy for a user to find a subscription type that fits into their budget.

I agree with the review here and the rating of 2 stars. Draw Anywhere clearly is not as good as some of the other ones that AppAppeal has reviewed, like LucidChart for example.
