Why Upgrading to OrgChartX is Essential
While OrgChart remains the undisputed best organizational chart application on the App Store, over the past decade we have continuously provided updates and improvements for the legacy OrgChart applications. You may have noticed that update frequency has been decreasing — these applications are gradually approaching the end of their technical lifecycle. OrgChartX offers a 7-day free trial to experience the difference.

Natural Result of Platform Evolution
Application interfaces are increasingly disconnected from Apple's latest design language and interaction methods. The technical foundation from ten years ago has reached the limits of what those frameworks could support, unable to fully utilize Apple's latest performance and feature advantages.
Historical Inevitability
Design decisions based on the advanced platform technology of that time now constrain development:
- Separated Application Experience: Three independent applications for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with inconsistent interfaces and operations
- Interface and Operation Aging: Previously advanced interface and operation methods have become increasingly disconnected from modern times after ten years of development
- Data Management Approach: Based on commercial application data security considerations and technical conditions at the time (iCloud Kit had not yet been released), a local document management model was adopted. Now with more secure cloud sync technology, users can control their data while enjoying automatic sync convenience
- Limited New Features: Supporting new features like Liquid Glass requires extensive inappropriate modifications to existing code
- Platform Expansion Difficulties: Facing new platforms like Vision Pro, continuing to develop independent applications would further exacerbate the separated experience problem
Reality of Continued Development
While the one-time purchase model is user-friendly, it limits the possibility of continuous investment in new feature development. Modern subscription models can support teams in continuously improving applications, providing users with better long-term experiences.
Your Right to Choose
You can completely continue using existing OrgChart applications, and we promise continued support until Apple platforms are no longer compatible. However, please note that as iOS, iPadOS, and macOS continue to evolve, legacy applications will face increasingly greater compatibility challenges.
