The free wireframe version of Adalon is great. I wireframed a big ol' FB app (around 40 circuits, from 10 to 40 fuseactions each), and it was great to work with. Once you have the diagrams all set up, and you actually have something pretty to show the boss, the sale for the full version (that actually generates code and stuff) could be much easier. I also use it for database relationships and class diagrams, because i'm familiar with it. Probably better tools for each job out there, bot for a single app, it's great at all three.
