What wrong with the functionality that's built into the Windows operating system. That's all we use

OK yes I have revived an old thread of mine but I have found an Android app.

It's called Draw Express.


It's fairly simple to use, you just draw your shape, resize and position.

You then can draw in connectors, you can also mod the shapes and connectors.

Free and worth a look
