Review Summary
Users find Free Visio Viewer useful for opening and viewing Visio (.vsdx) files across multiple platforms, appreciating its basic viewing features like zoom and fullscreen. However, many reviews express frustration over mandatory sign-up requirements to access exporting or printing functions and security concerns related to automatic uploading of files to Lucidchart servers without clear privacy controls. Rendering issues and lack of support for files from URLs also limit usability. Overall, it serves adequately as a free viewer but with significant privacy and feature limitations.
Pros
- Can open Visio files including vsdx format for viewing purposes.
- Supports viewing of texts including Cyrillic characters.
- Provides features like zooming, panning, and fullscreen presentation.
- Simple and effective viewer for those who just want to see content without editing.
- Works on multiple platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux).
Cons
- Requires users to sign up or provide personal information to access saving, exporting, or printing features.
- Uploads user files to Lucidchart servers without clear options for privacy or deletion, posing security risks.
- Does not fully render complex graphics; some layers or elements may be missing.
- Does not support opening files via URL (e.g., from SharePoint), only from disk.
- Exporting to PDF, saving, or printing often requires paid subscription or results in server errors during sign-up process.
