I appreciate your responses.. 

Not clear about updates?  Are they 'no charge' to subscribers?  Don't want
to buy upgrade every other week.  Tom

Instaviz lets you brainstorm ideas quickly, rather than bogging you down
with exact placement of nodes on the screen. I think it would be difficult
for a user to control actual placement effectively on a small screen, and
also the user interface would be more clunky since we'd have to account for
drags to link nodes, scrolls/zooms, sketches to create nodes and then drags
to reposition nodes.

For 1.6 or 2.0, I'm hoping to implement "re-ordering" nodes. While this
won't actually allow you to reposition the node anywhere, you would be able
to swap the order of two nodes e.g. looking at the diagram below, swapping 1
and 2 or swapping 7 and 8.

You can use the whole screen to draw, and it doesn't have to be particularly
accurate for Instaviz to recognize it. In 1.5, you have to select a node
before you can change its shape, so it's easier to draw new shapes, even
overlapping shapes, without destroying older nodes.

I do still have a problem with diamond recognition and hope to fix this in
the next version.

There is a known problem where if you sketch objects to the top or left
while the diagram is small, then when the diagram grows bigger, the objects
are "off-screen". If this is your problem, you can sometimes still connect
nodes if you zoom in by pinching with your fingers.

I hope to fix this for 1.6 or 2.0.

Were you trying for this:
