Concepts for Positive User Reviews

✓ Excellent drawing software, I love it, especially after updated new versionExcellent software, prefect!.RImbaud 2019Version: 5.5.1

✓ Good app!Honestly, I only downloaded this because I saw the copic colour wheel. XD But so far it has been a nice app for drawing though, the only thing is you should be able to use more layers in the free version really. There isn't really anything else, overall it is very good! Just more things for the free version, or watch advertisements to get things (like in ibispaint x you can watch a advertisement to get all brushes free for 18 hours)..A Experienced PlayerVersion: 5.2

✓ 5 stars IF the one time purchase (£15) had all features or was cheaperUpdated my review because I said: "Just let me pay a one time fee like Procreate. I’m not paying a monthly sub." Turns out you CAN just buy it. It’s a bit hidden though (at least I found it to be) and also it’s still missing features you get from the sub model so...that’s disappointing considering is like £15 which is like 50% more expensive than Procreate. That’s a bit too expensive for a stripped down version of an app for me tbh. I do really like using this app though, I use the Blueprint mode with grid mainly with a white pencil and it’s just a lovely aesthetic. HOWEVER the colour picker thing NEEDS a colour wheel. RGB sliders are good for perfecting your colour choice, but a wheel just makes pick quick colours SOOOOO much easier and faster. The COPIC colours are a nice inclusion, but obviously are very limited..R69NiXVersion: 5.7.3

✓ Love this appThis app is the most used on my iPad. I work in an architectural practice and it is great for sketching and doing quick markups. There is one feature that is missing and would benefit many designers and that’s being able to measure up an area quickly. In morphilio trace, there is a feature to do this, and when designing floor plans it is critical that we can quickly measure an area without having to do a rough rectangle and calculate it externally. Other than that, the program is amazing..LittlejimmyrayVersion: 5.7.4

✓ Colour fillReally nice app, would give it a five if the colour fill was easier to use. I have to do quite a few detailed drawings, and using the precise colour fill tool sometimes gets a bit too nitty. Would be better if there was a paint bucket tool which just fills whatever is in the boundary like Paint. Developers please add this in!.Umpalumpa1234567990Version: 5.10.5

✓ Great Vector-based AppI love the vector based features of the App and the ability to design with accurate dimensions when necessary. Not using the App on a daily basis, it does take a while to get into using it (I still use Procreate because of its simplicity sometimes 🙈). However, their documentation is very good and their technical support is outstanding. Overall, an excellent drawing and design tool.Paulw4545Version: 5.3.2

✓ Fun and quick but would love more CAD featuresOnly new to it, but I’ve already purchased a copy. Unless I haven’t come across it, features like trim, and also snap to intersections and vertices, would be good features to add..DangerDaisyVersion: 6.1.2

✓ Love itI started using this app 1 day before the release of version 5. I made this sprawling and complex drawing of a customer journey map to map out the design of a brand new feature we’re working on for our app. I found the version 4 UI highly functional but felt it was really complicated and busy. I was only using the free version, since that was fulfilling my needs. That all changed with version 5. Version 5 introduces an all-new UI (and payment structure) which massively simplifies the controls while drawing, and lets you hide and show different panels if they’re in the way (the Layers button for example). I’m still confused about how the color palates work, so I’m using the “Recent” color palate and that’s doing the job. This tool feels indispensable to me now. That infinite canvas is amazing, and the sketch tools and features feel like a super expensive piece of drawing software at a fraction of the price. My favorite feature, and why it’s awesome for drawing journey maps and wireframes for designing apps, is Concepts’ infinitely-sized canvas. It’s like the biggest whiteboard ever and you can just keep going and going. Making super long journey map type of work is nearly impossible on fixed page size drawing apps, so this is truly revolutionary for me..AndrewHaglundVersion: 5.0

✓ One time purchase restorationHi! I previously had the Pro purchase and none of it came back to me. Is there a way for you to restore my pro account?.Out of 5 starsVersion: 6.5.2

✓ Amazing toolThe app works great, I just started using it and it really is perfect to sketch ideas. The infinite canvas and ease of use make it very simple and intuitive, allowing me to focus on my work. The brushes could be improved in their looks and would be nice to have more options such as changing the opacity of the grid..SimoboscoloVersion: 5.7.1

✓ Great app. Just one annoying thing so farI only started using this app a few days ago and I am mainly using it as an infinite canvas for my long mathematical calculations. I have been using OneNote since forever but got very annoyed with how unresponsive it is so I was looking for apps that allow you an infinite canvas. I cannot comment on use for artists. For me, the app is almost perfect for my use although I really don’t like how the pan tool works. I feel that moving across the canvas is very slow. It would be great if there’s some option for faster pan tool.MarymwryVersion: 5.9.2

✓ AwesomeEasy to use :).Mini rulerVersion: 1.1

✓ Awesome app so farI'm just a novice when to comes to drawing etc but have downloaded this app on my iPad pro to use with the Pencil and it is pretty great. I love the infinite canvas. The app does take a bit to learn but that's good fun. I'm slowly discovering the tools and functions. Width downloading and trying though. The payment model is good. I do think it needs a ruler and protractor etc. I haven't yet paid for the whole thing, but me thinks I will..Mtj-93Version: 4.6.3

✓ Has almost everything I need to make drawings like I would in a sketchbookThis app has been the best one I have found for drawing like I used to in my sketchbook. I like that there is a hard and soft pencil, and a hard and soft eraser. Changing the size and color of each implement is intuitive, fast, and easy. The graph paper background is super handy as I am a graphic designer creating hand drawings. Out of all the apps I have used for drawing, this one is my favorite. The only thing that I have found to be less than satisfactory is that if I try to export my drawing to Adobe Illustrator with Vector Paths (option only included in the pro version) all my erase marks show up as well in illustrator which makes the feature useless. I have had to export everything as a raster image which for me has defeated the purpose of creating a vector image in the first place. Hoping for future improvements on this aspect of an otherwise great app..HeloryguyVersion: 4.6.2

✓ Awesome but a couple of suggestions:1. Please make accessible from the lock screen like notes is (if apple let's you lol) 2. I love being able to swipe away all the menus but can you make the small colour selector a separate item to be swiped away last (including the top menu bar). When I'm working the only menu I usually need is the small colour selector. 3. When a new section or drawing is made please make it prompt naming it, the organisation system is good but naming is frustrating. 4. It doesn't like me being left handed much :( Other than that I love it! Awesome for uni and sketching mechanical parts etc.TbuchananVersion: 5.7.4

✓ Great app but there’s exceptionsThis is the best app personally for me to be creative, and thoughtful. But there are some features that I’ll like this app to have. First of all, wouldn’t it be cool if there was a feature that can could turn your messy writing into a font? And I know there are probably other apps with this feature, but I want it to be added here. Another super beneficial feature that could be added is correct the shapes you make, that could be very beneficial to people needing them. This app is one of the best apps for me that just l gives to me a good expression to how I can immerse myself into more immersive thoughts..NhbbbyhVersion: 6.5.2

✓ Enjoying getting to know the appI’m really pleased I got this. I downloaded this to get used to drawing on a tablet before making the transition to a Wacom for example. Tools work very well. One problem for me is the infinite canvas, a feature that sold me on getting this. However it’s quite hard to navigate, it would be beneficial if there was a way to bookmark a section of the screen to be able to come back to. I could screen shot it and use photos instead but then I still can’t edit it. For example I have a list at the top of my canvas, in order to refer to it I have to zoom all the way out and find my way to it. I’d like to be able to click on an icon and have it take me to a certain saved point. I’m not a fan of the fact the eraser marks are stroke that’s gonna take some getting used to. It often gets in the way when duplicating drawings.LbreschVersion: 5.0.5

✓ Really good but..Good but it just get boring after a while:(.HiiiiiirgdhVersion: 6.4.1

✓ MindfulnessUsing concepts has greatly improved my mental health. Plus, l didn't know I could draw! It is very intuitive and powerful at the same time. I totally recommend it!.Josue sanchezVersion: 5.10.12

✓ The infinite canvas is what I neededSince I bought my iPad a few years ago, I have been somewhat disappointed with the note-taking apps I have tried. I had a hard time finding things I had written or drawn. My notes would be broken into files or pages. One app had an “infinite” solution, but it just meant scrolling horizontally for a long time trying to find something I had written. The infinite canvas that Concepts offers solves that problem for me. I can unload massive amounts of notes and sketches into a single sheet. With a few gestures, I can see everything at a glance, and then easily zoom in and find what I need. Not only am I finding what I have already written, but the drawing tools make it easy to refine and polish the messy jumble of notes I started with. It seems simple enough, but Concepts is the first app that I’ve tried that has been successful with this function. The only feature that is missing for me is the ability to sync files between devices. I don’t really plan on making notes on my phone, but it would be nice to see things I’ve done on my iPad, even if it is Read-Only. That said, the infinite canvas is a game changer for me. It suits the way my brain works very well. I feel like I’m finally able to organize myself and move forward on some of my projects..SombrerosaurusVersion: 5.10.12

✓ Intuitive creative PlatformGreat for sketching planning and creating album covers.KidSantoVersion: 3.2.1

✓ Awesome toolI use concepts on a daily basis for my structural steel fabrication work. We use it to work beam lengths and design drawings. Also is great for modifying drawings from structural engineers and sending them back. Great layout and a massive amount of tools. I do find some things a bit of a faff but feel some of this may be down to the user as much as the software and i am learning with every day i use it..Semmens StreelVersion: 5.8.5

✓ A game changerI use this app all the time now on my iPad Pro. I’ve tried loads of apps in the past. I draw very technical sketches. However, it’s the pencil sketches that get me. They just look like something that was actually done on paper and not on a digital device. Since using the those tools no other app is required. And I can move from on media to another in one app. Also I can update things on my PC and my phone too. 5 Stars..Zup3rdryVersion: 5.5.1

✓ PhenomenalKeeps getting better and better! Great app for designing concepts and prototypes..MamonbeeVersion: 6.9.2

✓ Limited text handlingI've been using Concepts 5 with the purchased Essentials pack for 24 hours now to work out a design for a Web site. Having an infinite size canvas is wonderful! The drawing tools are great, though certainly no more so than other superb apps like Tayasui Sketches. And the tutorial videos are also great, though they could benefit from being more bite-size like the 2 - 4 minute tutorials for Serif's Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher apps. A huge plus for Concepts seems to be that they have a business model which enables significant ongoing development of the app. Having said that however, what I had hoped for in Concepts —given the idea development nature of the app— was, in addition to the cool drawing tools, to have better text handling. For instance, it really needs text flow wrap within a resizable text box, and the ability to choose a font — the basic cmd-t functions of other apps would be a huge step forward even if there were no user-defined text styles. Maybe i'm not understanding some things, so if I discover that I've misunderstood the text features, then I'll edit this review. Finally, i want to say that I'm not interested in subscription apps, so if Concepts had not provided have the one-time purchase options, I would not have bothered with it..EdzlinxVersion: 5.4.9

✓ Software engineering & product design reviewI’ve been looking for something similar to concepts for quite some time. I had even started building my own tool to support the full design process. Being a full stack development house, we need a very robust tool that supports free wheeling creativity, but can then be used to flesh things out further. So far I am very impressed with concepts. The interface is fantastic and smooth. Great job. We are just starting a new product design - we need form factor, circuit design, embedded software and will be prototyping on our snap maker 3D printer and fabber. I’ll check back in 2 months to let you guys know how it went. So far though - highly recommended!!.CarefreeCanadianVersion: 5.10.12

✓ Incredible app but basic features require paymentThis is one of my favourite drawing apps out there for sketching, but the fact that even basic transformation to select and move drawings is locked behind a paywall makes it frustrating to use. I’m not too jazzed about paying 22AUD for that. Infinite canvas is very nice, but at this point I’d rather shell out the 15AUD for procreate instead. I would be happy to pay for brushpacks and complex/luxury features, but transformation is such a basic feature for any drawing program. Otherwise, if you don’t mind having to pay to just move or resize drawings, it’s one of the best drawing apps out there..No more reinstallingVersion: 5.6.3

✓ Unlimited brainstorming toolThe best infinite whiteboard type app I have ever found. I use it for everything from UI design to house design. The way you can customise the app ui to your liking is unrivalled. Export is super easy. Plus it’s a pay once, own forever model! In the age of subscription everything, this should be celebrated. Thanks Concepts!.IBig IEVersion: 5.10.12

✓ Four stars because no cloud integration.I wont be renewing my subscription until there is cloud integration. I’m very close to using freeform for my school notes/mind maps. This app is amazing, but I am always looking out for alternatives because of the no cloud integration, which severely limits my work flow. I use this to take school notes on both my iPad Pro and iPad mini, but have to keep separate notes on each. I have been unsuccessful in finding an alternative because no app seems to match the power of Concepts... it is truly fantastic! The price is also incredibly reasonable, and I am actually willing to pay more if it means a better app! The price is $30 a year, but I would be happy to pay $5 a month…. Please hurry up with cloud integration. Please consider working on grouped layers! Thanks!.Joe Found GoldVersion: 6.5.2

✓ Good app but no cross platform supportAs a drawing app, it is amazing and it works really well. But it’s a shame that it doesn’t have cross platform syncing for iOS devices. Once that has been developed, then it would easily make it a 5-star app..Jimmi CaveraVersion: 6.7.1

✓ Wow!!!Brilliant! Amazing! Intuitive AND you get so many options with the free version! I use it for story developments—a real life saver! Infinite canvas! Infinite space to develop and elaborate your ideas. Brilliant!.Elsid.netVersion: 5.10.12

✓ The best app for schematic/conceptual drawing and notesWonderful for technical users. For study notes in math and science subjects. For early stage mockups of inventions or apps. I'm not an artist but as a visual thinker, I love the powerful tools this app gives and the infinite space to explore ideas..S747464):$;$:&:ufbrhemVersion: 6.2

✓ Ideating made easyWhat Concepts gets right away is the ease of use with infinite canvas. Concepts works best when using a stylus as the UI can require pen point accuracy. I paid for the one time purchase model, and have been able to use this app for any number of projects. Storyboards, mapping out ideas/concepts, Designing rough prototypes, and even scripts. The interface is pretty intuitive and almost everything can be scaled/manipulated like a vector based object. My only nit pic is there isn’t much of a collaborative/shareable component like Figma which can share a file with multiple editors/viewers at once. So sharing is either done via multiple screenshots or exporting the entire thing as an .svg..WinbyyVersion: 5.10.12

✓ Some glitches, but still a good productI have had no complaints about this product up until it crashed when zooming in and out on a recent project I was working on. The whole app just disappeared and the work I did had to be restarted from the previous save state. Also the undo and redo function sometimes completely altered my drawings to the point that I had to start over some of the work I did. It’s able to be worked around but, hopefully these glitches will be located and addressed in the next update without having to take away what works well with the app. Besides that, I love the way the interface works and how well it takes advantage of the Apple Pencil. It is my go to for idea dumps and brain storm declutter. Minimal buggy-ness, but overall all worth the money!.PacoyPabloVersion: 4.6.2

✓ Gets rid of the claustrophobia of sketchingOne problem I’ve often found in many drawing and painting programs, as well as on paper and canvas, is that I tend to have issues with initial sketching. Something about the process has always felt, somewhat claustrophobic to me, if that makes sense? What with not knowing exactly how the finished piece will turn out, it begins to feel more and more cramped as more is added to the canvas. This app, however, completely gets rid of that feeling for me, and allows me to just continue to sketch on and on to my hearts’s content, without any feeling that I'm running out of space, and then allows me to export my sketches, from which I can then continue and finish them in another program (though, it does seem like you may be able to create good finished pieces here as well, if that better suits your workflow!) Thank you for this wonderful app!.AddisonDragonVersion: 5.5.1

✓ Great app but uses too much batteryI love the interface and infinite canvas, but the app takes up too much battery; just got the iPad Pro 2020 and running concepts uses 10% every 30 mins (5 hrs of sustained usage). Would be great if power consumption could be reduced! Edit 1: would be helpful to provide the ability to sync files. I use concepts to create mind maps for college, and since files are saved locally, backups can only be done by manually exporting as .svg or .png Edit 2: Would be helpful to be able to import specific tool settings from other drawings. Current method includes opening a drawing with those settings and creating a new drawing, which ports all the preferences over. Would be great if I could get specific tools from different drawings! Still facing battery problems but this may be an issue specific to my usage of concepts for mind mapping; the concepts team has been very helpful and prompt with their replies. Great after-sales service!.LaaaaaalloooollgfsdvhbVersion: 5.7.4

✓ Fantastic & versatile AppHave been using Concepts for a few months now. Initially thought is might be a focus for artists however as a Surveyor l find it excellent for producing virtually any type of property orientated image whether this be Elevations , floor plans, isometrics whatever. Once they introduce. “Bucket fill “ which l understand is under development , that will make highlighting key areas even more convenient. First Class App.Concept RobVersion: 5.8.7

✓ Good concept gone badWell well now is getting very interesting I’m impressed taken long time but at last we getting there, my first review was a 2 stars, I now think is a good 5 stars. This program is simply brilliant, since the update I only tested this app for 10 minutes and I couldn’t wait to let you know my opinion. wasn’t fair me living my old review. Like I said I only used for 10 minutes but I haven’t had any issues and in my first review I said that this app was tedious to use now I actually think is not, before was crashing so much that I couldn’t see beyond a simple task As I said this app is now one of my favourite app on my iPad In short you got nothing to lose is free and is brilliant for all kind of projects get it now xxxxx Reviewed from an iPad Pro.Domenico PVersion: 5.2.3

✓ Usability RIPVersion 4 was fantastic, version 5 is a mess. I’ve been using Concepts since the beginning and have been persevering with V5 for long enough. It’s awful there is no flow and I’m constantly having to go back to the manual to work out how to do things that were in the past easy and intuitive. I’ve tried making the new like the old but really it’s just too trying..Js68946Version: 5.1.1

✓ Good and well built, but with a few flawsThis is a great app for showing ideas and designing, especially for presentations. And there are many positive resources for artistic expression as well, however there are some things that are lacking. To begin, there is no fill tool to tap a closed area and fill it in. This is found in many other drawing apps and is very useful. The other thing is that while there are many colours to choose from, there is no custom colour wheel and square that has a range of colour on it, and the one colour that they lack is red. Every time I need to go to the colour hex and type in numbers until I get the right one..Chaos_Master6Version: 5.10.10

✓ Superb but needs more tools!Love this app and now use it as my ‘go to’for drawing. Used to use Procreate but find this much nicer to use. The UI can look a bit confusing at first but you soon find your way around. The only thing missing is a Blender tool or a good old fashioned finger. Add one of these and you’ve nailed it. Someone will probably tell me there is one but I can’t find it..Roop737Version: 5.0.2

✓ Only the ui rotatesWhen I rotate an iPad, only the UI rotates and the content remains the same. This behavior persists even if I turn the app off and on. Firstly, I don't use your rotate feature because it doesn't feel smooth whenever I zoom in and out. The authentic iPad cover from Apple requires users to physically change the orientation of the iPad in order to switch between a standing up or lying down position. Specifically, when the user wants to sketch while lying down, the cover rotates the iPad 180 degrees. As someone who frequently sketches and references material next to my computer, I find myself needing to change my iPad's orientation quite often. You may find similar complaints about this issue on Reddit..HoneymilkworldVersion: 6.3.1

✓ As a DesignerThrough out my time as a designer for various media’s including print advertisements, books and publications, product labels, websites, artworks, calligraphy, I would begin my process with jotting down all the needs of what I am going to produce and brainstorm how they would fit into the final design like a puzzle board, then begin to create roughs of layouts, site maps, sketches which I used to do in a sketchbook usually just using a pencil or black pen. When I read about the infinity canvas and the tools it includes, plus being able to organize and export my work, Concepts became essential for my planning phase. I can even create collages for images I am trying to draw inspiration from while still have room to conceptualize. I only made the essentials purchase and it has been more than enough for me. Amazing app. And what I love most is not having to be forced into a subscription..Mohammad BibiVersion: 5.7.1

✓ Fantastic app - would be even better with three featuresHave used concepts for several years now and love it! Wish there was two features: 1. Measure area (m2) by drawing a polygon with the measure tool rather than just distance 2. Draw over multi page pdf’s or even be able to create multiple sheets within the art board and publish them as one doc 3. Mass archiving - save the native files within a whole project without having to go into each and export them individually - this is the most frustrating point if you build up drawings over several years and then find iPad storage is full..TimgreentreeVersion: 5.10.10

✓ One of my essential apps!Concepts has become one of my favourite apps and one that I really on for multiple purposes. I use it for journaling, sketching, concept design and all ‘round brainstorming. The tools are excellent and loaded with most of what I need. It takes some time to learn how to navigate the UI but once you get it you’ll see how logical the app is laid out. And it seems to only get better..Qclan3Version: 5.10.12

✓ Incredibly good!The free version of this app is lightyears better than anything else I’ve tried. There’s a bit of a learning curve but I was able to figure things out within a few minutes; after going back to other programs now and then to play with them I kept finding myself frustrated because the features and usability in Concepts are just so much better. I’ve been using the free version for about six months and I’m ready to upgrade for even more functionality. (I especially love that you don’t HAVE to have a recurring subscription; they have plenty of standalone items for purchase, but nothing locks you into the subscription model.) If you’re trying to figure out what app will work well anything from idle doodling to detailed industrial drawings, stop looking. This is what you want..Em PogoVersion: 5.6.2

✓ Amazing ApplicationEvery aspect of Concepts is tailored to be the finest experience in drawing, designing, and (most often in my case) taking detailed notes. This program was one of the major pull factors for buying an iPad, for the purpose of the improved functionality on iPad, and to make use of the touchscreen and various other features. I am far from being disappointed with my purchase. I have used Concepts on my PC for a while, and it is still excellent (Even though some people complain about functionality porting over to Windows systems, I have no complaints here.) but the iPad really brings out the program’s best features and makes note-taking and designing an absolute breeze, from the gestures double tapping a pen (Which is customizable in Concepts, of course!) to switching tools effortlessly, to the color wheel, it is all around a good purchase. Having bought the Essentials package on both Windows and Apple systems, I consider both worthy purchases even though purchases do not transfer cross-platform. My favorite aspect so far has been making use of the Apple Pencil, used specifically for drawing tools while your fingers can be used to select objects and move them, with no additional tool selection in-between. The transition is incredibly smooth and it may not seem like much at first but it is very helpful in the long run. I am very impressed with this software. Full marks Concepts!.Marcus AuraeliusVersion: 5.10.4

✓ One of the best illustrating appsI’m a growing artist that loves exploring different media to sketch, paint and illustrate my work. Digital art has never been in my liking as most of the apps that I have tried, didn’t give me much freedom. I admit I was a bit skeptic when I came across this app, the base version offered some limitations but when upgrade to the pro version it far exceeded my expectation as it gave me lot more freedom to do my work. Although it does take some time to respond when rotating the drawing it makes up for this in the variety of tools available. I would definitely recommend this to any artist that is looking for something that they can use on a day to day bases and in the professional field..SchirvillVersion: 5.0.6

✓ Good getting better....what else to state!One of the good ones out there....getting better too. Only wish it can finish the drawing for me..DevikaRani1Version: 1.5

✓ Elegant Vector ArtRevisiting after long absence, I am delighted with the improvements of the latest upgrade. The UI is much more fluid to use—earlier versions never felt natural with the result I never used it for very long at a time. Every now and then I’d give it another try because I really need a solid iOS vector app. Yet each time it felt like starting over again to figure out its methods. Version 5 changes all that. It’s elegant, flexible, and efficient. The restructured gallery is a nice bonus. A real eraser is still at the top of my wish list. It would greatly help to have a basic visual color picker for selecting colors from scratch; however, the current color options are certainly much improved. More advanced line editing would also be welcome. The smoothing feature helps in many situations, fortunately. While it lacks the finesse of an anchor-point system, it’s also less fussy, which can often be an advantage. In sum, Concepts’ unique approach to vector drawing can be somewhat confusing in the early learning phase, but once you grasp the methodology, it provides that rare accomplishment: a vector app that puts drawing front and center..P.mousse Esq.Version: 5.1

✓ AmazingThis app is amazing for doing quick sketches and sending them on for communicating ideas. Would highly recommend this after trying many others..#simplyjunk!Version: 5.8.3

✓ Great app for Sketchnotes and moreJust bought a new iPad Pro to be able to put together drawings more quickly to get my ideas across. After downloading a large number of sketching and drawing apps this is my favourite for the sketchnote images I’m creating. The product is really feature rich and I’ve no idea if I’ve ever use all of it. That’s not the point. What it does it does really well and it will grow with you. I’m now enjoying configuring it so it’s set up for my way of working. The “ask me anything” function is also excellent and the one time I needed it, the response was timely and helpful with a human being on the other end. Great job. I look forward to future updates. The challenge now will be how to make it better whilst not making it overly complicated..TeeEeeGeeVersion: 5.2.3

✓ Great appThis app is the perfect companion to an iPad. It is the best “note taking mixed with art” app that I have seen. Didn’t take me long to put my money down. Went for the one time payment option as I hate subscriptions..DleonheartVersion: 5.7.3

✓ Landscape designI use this app every day for years for concept landscape design and many other design purposes. Highly recommend..Eartheart-artVersion: 5.10.9

✓ Great concept, excellent technical supportDoes anyone know how to delete layers? Arc function is very limited; can't always change curvature because there is no specific control for that. Erased lines at maximum zoom level reappear at lower zoom settings; very annoying. Responding to the developer's response. Thanks! Great customer service. Figured out how to delete layers. It is still annoying that the program creates layers automatically depending on the tool used. Arc support function definitely needs a third control in the middle of the arc, getting the curvature right with just two end-controls does not work well most of the time. I am using the hard erasure to erasue, however, things don't really get erased even though you can't see what is erased. For example, I erased a line then was trying to write with the text tool at the place where the line was, an invisible line would hide parts of the text box. I had to step back, remove the line and then rewrite..ZaaxauVersion: 5.0.6

✓ Cleanest app I’ve found.When after a seamless app for sketching, note taking and everything in between I found concept to be intuitive but also comprehensive. The infinite art board is amazing, always felt constraint with a set size - now I can go with the flow and edit later. The ease of importing and drag and drop is beautiful. After watching a few of the tutorial videos I feel all set. I also think the price is right so I’ve subscribed. I wish there were more brush options and I love the colour wheel but find myself sometimes wanting to make completely custom colours, but wouldn’t trade that for the ease of using vectors - which I’ve never liked using before Concepts. Changed my perspective. I wish there was a concepts for raster files - if there is let me know..Mayghgshg76554Version: 5.4.1

✓ Good app - iCloud sync still missing in 6.7This is a great app for many things. I especially appreciate the clean HDMI out for digital white boarding I have wanted to use this as my daily sketch / sketch noting app for ages. However the lack of iCloud sync stops it from being my daily driver. It’s been in the roadmap for years and feels so out of place not to have it..DrpricelessVersion: 6.7

✓ Pl add a blenderThank u for the new update which includes a colour picker 👍🏻 love the new layout which I think is much better as well as the off of inclusive purchase for extra objects. I will be buying this next month. Still sad that no blender has been added and I hope one will be included in the next update. Great app and would definitely recommend!.BabyAbyssVersion: 5.0

✓ Nice for sketching, murder for exportingRevised review…Like so many other apps, the working is great. In fact this has become my go-to for architectural sketches. It’s the closest to pencil on paper I’ve ever found. But when you try to share your work, it’s like 1982. The ability to share, sort, and catalog work is lacking. Exporting a project is a dead end file as the format is proprietary (vs something universal like pdf). Saving a concept file to Files must be done by exporting manually and you cannot use a modern cloud service like Dropbox, Box, GDrive, etc to store and sort your work. Plus, the iOS and Win versions of the software cream incompatible files. The two apps are similar but non-interchangeable, and there is no reader app, so anything exported is a dead end in terms of collaboration. The actual sketching is brilliant (though the ruler and straightedge functions leave much to be desired) so for a plain sketching app it’s 4 stars. I guess I love that part so much it’s extra frustrating that seemingly small things like interoperability are so frustrating..OverzeetopVersion: 5.10.12

✓ This app is the only app that an architect ultimate toolThis app if developed further can eventually replace very expensive architectural drawings and sketching apps. I found it comprehensive enough to satisfy conceptual design stage. It fell short of items like dimensioning an existing lines and draw in perspective mode. Keep the good work and make updates faster..ModonedgVersion: 4.6.1

✓ AwesomeGreat but would be better with more features..Finn FairbairnVersion: 1.3

✓ I love this appNo matter what I wish to draw from technical sketches, hashups, ideas, to drawings etc I can do it simply easily in this app. It's brilliant. I wish it had Sync by Resilio support for data sharing between devices or collaboration between colleagues - then it would get 6 stars no questions asked..Mirosan HVersion: 5.7.5

✓ Amazing drawing appI genuinely love this app, I have the basic bought version which is a worth while purchase I feel, however I love it but it does have a few issues such as exporting, I try to export a image as a png which is supposed to be a lossless file type but it clearly loses a lot of detail when exporting large images and it’s just disappointing. The second thing is the fill tool, it’s useful for some things but it is just plain annoying most of the time, I’d suggest adding a fill like Procreate where you just drag and drop but still keep the current one as it is still useful. Overall I still think the apps amazing and will still much rather use over other drawing apps for a lot of things, if they could fix the exporting issue I would definitely use this app as my only drawing app..FleaboiisgodVersion: 5.6.3

✓ Offers features way beyond my capabilityA fantastic app that is really easy to use and well laid out. I am not a professional ( architect , Graphic artist, etc) so I don’t utilise this app to its full potential. I just like sketching stuff..RtpixVersion: 5.8

✓ Best Customer Service You'll Ever GetThis is about the best vector art app on the appstore. The natural media brushes that originally came with the app still look and feel great, and if that's not enough, you can buy IAP brushes as well as invent your own brushes. You have the ability to adjust lines and colour fills you've made using the select and nudge tools. Multiple select options. Multiple gesture options. Scaling doesn't mean the lines have to get thicker if you don't want. Despite the fact the vector format doesn't really allow for natural smudging like a raster app can, the watercolour tool in Concepts makes up for it by way of providing realistic colour blending and gradients that look just as good if not better (at least for my art style). However, what truly makes this app the best is the unparalleled customer service. For instance, there was something funky going on with the Copic colour wheel when I placed it in the lower right corner. Instead of my currently selected colour being readily accessible, it was hidden, the colour wheel behaving like it was set in the lower left corner. After bringing this up, it was fixed six days later. The customer service guy confirmed it was fixed just for me! Now I don't know about you, but I don't know of any other company who cares as much for their customers on an individual level like TopHatch does. If you're looking for the best mobile vector art app, forget Affinity Designer. Go with Concepts instead..JwmmakerofmusicVersion: 5.3.2

✓ Great AppTruly excellent.Olli487Version: 2.3.1

✓ Fantastic Graphic Design App!I came to the Concepts App as a complete amateur, had done a little art at highschool but never progressed, as I chose a career in music and writing. But the Concepts App has opened up design and art options for my (retired, leisure) time, that I never thought I would have. I've used it to create flyers for community organisations, as well as creating original artworks and product designs that I post online. Thanks so much, Adobe Concepts people!.ElizabethSheppardOblSBVersion: 4.6.3

✓ Brilliant.Absolutely brilliant but please as new colour ranges to go along with the Copic set..DeeppistaVersion: 5.10.4

✓ I bought an iPad for this appGreat app! I'm primarily using this to sketch out wireframe concepts for UI design. Invest an hour in learning this app and it will be worth it. - Vector based (so you can zoom in and export to other apps) - Infinite canvas so you don't run out of space - Really nice ability to edit with great selection and adjustment options..DmarksVersion: 4.6.1

✓ OutstandingAnd after the first update of 2019? Still outstanding :-).53843265432109Version: 5.3.2

✓ S7arflakeThe creation of art comes from a seed born of attention and experience. This seed can be nurtured through many mediums, it might unfold into the curves of a turned timber bowl, or a painting with oils and pigments. Concepts opened a new doorway into a new medium with very natural and satisfying results..S7arflakeVersion: 6.5.2

✓ Amazing app, one request on new update?Concepts team, I am constantly stunned at how you just keep making this app better and better. It literally qualifies under “such a joy to use that it actually inspires me to want to go into it, and make things.” THANK YOU. I do have one request in regards to the newest update, which is amazing: when I pull a drawing into a different “section”, I cannot pull that drawing out of that “section,“ (and then it is stuck there), and put it into a different section, the way you used to be able to grab any drawing/file and just hold to the left or right, and it would go into the differently swiped section when they were on separate pages. It would be oh, so nice if I could take a drawing from any group, from any section, hold, and drag it up to “on this iPad,” and place it into a different section, or perhaps, long, pressing a drawing/file, and within that little drop-down menu, not unlike, say, Goodnotes, they would also be the word “move,” aside from just copy, allowing you to move it anywhere you.. Or is there a way to do this and I am somehow missing it? Thank you again so much, I hope you are able to respond to this question, is the only thing that has been hanging me up just a little bit with the new update, but it is otherwise, so absolutely amazing. It is usurping Procreate for me in my professional capacity in many ways, particularly on the creative process flow, to be sure..SketcherXVersion: 6.0.3

✓ AmazingI’ve not yet experience an app with such a good implementation of the pencil, just few adjustments for the perfection but it is extremely good…I just wush it was a bit cheap.NguefackVersion: 5.10.10

✓ Folder organisation systemHi I recently just bought the essential version if the app. I like it a lot so far, it helps me to put my notes in a mind-map for my study. However, I wish there is an organisation system for folders and things like that so I can keep things organised. It would be great if you guys can implement it! Other than that, good job!.ChauzzlesVersion: 5.10.10

✓ AMAZING!!! Glad I got thisI am extremely happy I got this app!!! I haven’t brought any of the in-app purchases yet and it’s still great 👍 I would recommend this for anyone who likes graphics, art, engineering, drawing and things like that. This has helped me develop my skills and I applaud whoever made this and the effort it must’ve taken : ).HappyArtist637Version: 5.2

✓ Really Good App!Well first I don’t have another app to compare it too... this the first app of this “type” of drawing program that I’ve used. I am throughly happy with it!!, that said their are a couple of minor things that drive me crazy. The Circular Toolbar that sits in the corner...drives me “Freak’n” nuts, accidentally put it in its semi-hidden mode and spent the next half hour trying to get back to its regular mode - makes me want scream and throw my iPad out the window. Lastly, (only two to begin with) precision mode tools... the one that allows to create line, eclipses, etc...is very finicky... try to move and it draws in the line, try to adjust it and draws on the line - makes you want scream!! Okay, so besides those minor faults... this app was extremely helpful in allowing me to draw a mock up of a kitchen renovation that I’m planning. I think the pricing is fair.. If was going to use this an accessory in my line of work I’d pay the subscription..Erick117301Version: 5.2

✓ PowerfulSuch a powerful app and though I suspect it is much easier than the first days of Autocad (which I completely rejected) ... there still is a bit of a learning curve for those who still enjoy plotting design with pen and paper. Fantastic interface with wonderful tools and customizations. On iPad Pro with Apple Pencil it’s a fantastic and fluid experience even with the high learning curve for me. My only frustrations are my lack of understanding and wanting to move faster than my knowledge allows. Concepts really motivates you to push forward. I had previously tried using the app on iPad mini with 53 Pencil but it wasn’t nearly as fluid or as positive of an experience. Frustrating actually. Sorry Mr. Jobs ... Apple Pencil is a marvelous tool with apps such as Concepts..KiloLimaVersion: 5.2.3

✓ Enables creativity and brainstorming like nothing else canThis app is great in concept, and I’ve really tried to use it, but there is no way to move the interface to the right side of the screen, which means frequently bumping different buttons and icons with the wrist and palm as a left handed person, which completely kills any chance of every getting into a work flow in this app. It does have some features that apps like Procreate do not, but Procreate does account for left-handedness, so I will just stick with that. :/ Updated: The developer responded to my issue of left-handed support and turns out I just wasn’t looking in the right place haha! Upgraded my review accordingly since this app has since been great for drafting out ideas for everything from web projects to 3D prints. The way the canvas can keep expanding and be rotated is amazing. No more trying to squeeze a bunch of details into the constraints of a single page!.ZaraghastVersion: 5.5.1

✓ Love itNow I just wish I was better at drawing.ReviewerX.99Version: 1.1

✓ Truly a life saverI can take my work on the go, collect moodboards and references easier than I ever have before, completely free to adapt to the changes of a project due to the infinite canvas and the vector strokes allowing to move any notes and sketches around. All I could ask for is a more robust text tool, such as a handwriting to text tool, but that’s just extras at this point. TLDR, I love this app.Alexi GDVersion: 5.10.9

✓ Simply BrilliantJust use it, you’ll see what I mean. The infinite canvas is brilliant..Scotty-Boy-99Version: 5.0.6

✓ The Full Feature Drawing App I wish was also on macOSThere are many popular drawing, sketching, art apps on the iOS market, but this is the app that has become the core app at the center of my creative art workflow. While I am NOT a very accomplished artist by any means, I am passionate about learning and practicing the skills involved in making visual art. After spending a few months testing various apps out, I narrowed my selection down to a selection of unique and well designed apps that work well together. This app has become the home for my slowly growing portfolio of artwork created with this multi-app approach. I have found to be the one of the most user friendly, stable, and best of all FREE up front apps, with a collection of in app purchases that are both reasonably priced and worth acquiring. My one wish for this app is that the developers make it available on macOS desktop environment!.@MrZeppoVersion: 5.6.3

✓ A pleasure to useI love using this app! It seems to be very well thought out and designed. I think that the app is nearly perfect for what it is designed for. The Nudge Tool is fantastic. Unlike similar tools in other apps (e.g. the Pinch Tool in Clip Studio Paint) it always does exactly what you want it to. The only problem that I have had with the app is when using the Color Mixer’s Tap+hold feature. The app will get very sluggish when you do this. I’ve even had the app hang. The application could use some additional features but it is already very functional. I use a lot of other digital art applications so the features that I would like to see would likely cause the app to stray away from its intended use cases. (The app is geared more for sketching and visual journaling rather than creation of final works of art.).Stever2000Version: 5.4.11

✓ Best app to draw things freely!This by far is the easiest app I have to used to get my things done - thank you so much.Sudara.fernandoVersion: 5.8.7

✓ Several months in, and we really love it !I really like the idea of a zooming infinite canvas .. feels like writing and drawing in an entire new world. Your ideas can start anywhere, then planning on the fly can take you in any direction !! I also really appreciate that family sharing has allowed me to get our two kids interested and experimenting at the same time. We use it with Apple Pencil 2 on an iPad Pro, and the kids have 2 3rd party pencils that we bought from Amazon which work really well with their iPads also. I use it for sketching ideas at work, taking notes, designing organizational charts .. it’s brilliant ! I haven’t experimented with sharing documents with the kids for collaborating yet .. I wonder it that’s a thing ? I also use the backgrounds for lined and graph paper feel … very nice !!.Goldilocks_daveVersion: 6.1.3

✓ Great toolsExcellent drawing app. I use it with adonit stylus. Works seamlessly. Outstanding customer service - questions answered within hours..Lino oleumVersion: 5.3.2

✓ Best note taking appI think that this is the best note taking app for the iPad. A lot of features are free, has the option for one time payments instead of annoying subscriptions, and has great Apple Pencil support. My only complaint is that the pencil drawing mode isn’t as realistic as say, the Apple built in one, buts that’s a very minor thing..Donald Trump the 666Version: 6.7.1

✓ 5.1 👏👏👏A great app. Constantly getting better..ERM247Version: 5.1

✓ Truley powerful.I wish importing and setting the scale of a pdf drawing was as easy as “trace”. But otherwise this app has changed the way I work! Totally rely on it now for my architectural work..K.mcbVersion: 5.10.9

✓ I like the AppIt’s very full-featured and a pleasure to use. To be perfectly candid, though, I’m a bit disappointed in the inclusion of an email ad when I wish to email schematics. Not allowing it to be turned off is an example of a design choice made solely to benefit the company, while offering no benefit to the user, and even affirmatively ignoring the user’s choice altogether. It’s a customer-hostile choice that probably doesn’t provide the company with significant benefit to offset the ill-will. It also telegraphs to the user that, when the interest of the company and the user deviate, even in areas that are seemingly slight, the company will serve itself to the detriment of the customer. It, at least to some degree, defines the relationship between the company and the customer. If the company sold tires or chewing tobacco, this likely would not matter, but the average IQ of the typical Concepts users probably exceeds average by several points, and thus are more likely to be a little put off by this. I don’t like have Spam inserted into my emails, even if I can take the time to remove it. Pay for advertising, don’t hijack my professional emails to do it. My two cents and its worth every penny..Seattle RexVersion: 5.3.2

✓ Love this appAs a full time artist, I am not only creating, I am running a business- I love this app because it is so handy to use for "thinking". I can use it for layouts - getting my ideas and thoughts in order before meeting with someone - be as free form as I want in how I keep track of everything - I used to carry around 5 or 6 little notebooks, one for sketching, one for inspirational ideas, one for personal Life stuff - yea, I'm that OCD. Now i can have all my sketch/notebooks/ journals/ business stuff in one app.. Great. And I am so very very grateful for the fact I can do pretty much all I need on the free app- haven't had to spend $ I Don'T have now. - and for me - program has been very intuitive to use. Do most stuff on iPad w/pencil but also on phone w/stylus..FR SimsVersion: 6.9.2

✓ Just what I was looking for!I am big on notes and visualisations. Many other note apps don’t allow you to move the canvas let alone increase the size to infinity. This app allows just that. So I can now brainstorm and keep adding to my visuals. Not only this the tools and the interface is easy to use and I love that I can put things onto layers, therefore locking and not disturbing any of my important notes. I have no need to buy the full version right now but I will be buying it anyway to support the developers. Thats how good of a job I think they have done. If you take notes, brainstorm or write goals I HIGHLY recommend this. Well done guys!.KillPrettyVersion: 5.7.5

✓ Infinite Draw AreaJust an absolutely fantastic app. You can tell the dev/s put a huge amount of effort into this. Unlike most drawing apps, this one lets you draw on an infinite canvas so as your ideas expand, you don’t have to worry about your original scale. There are a ton of features in Concepts but for me, simply taking notes and scribbling ideas and prototype screens (I’m an app dev myself) is immensely useful..Coolbloke1324Version: 5.8.1

✓ Really versatile, I love using it.It’s very expensive but I like how you can choose which parts you like. The free version gives you ALMOST everything you need but you definitely feel the constraints..KPRLCBVersion: 5.8.7

✓ Simply the best.This has become my go to app, for note taking, planning, sketching, drawing, inking... worth every penny and always improving!.FunksmanameVersion: 5.3.2

✓ Best vector drawings app!I was slow to start using this app. But now that I have tested this within my working day, I can genuinely certify this as one of the best vector drawings app there is out there. I am an architect by profession and a digital illustrator. I have used Concepts app for almost an year now. The team has done excellent work in providing quite intuitive tools for both graphics and precision drawings. The app offers great flexibility and the everything being vector, you get to keep working on your sketches, reuse your sketches and transfer between projects without breaking sweat. Great app! Can’t wait to see what future updates would bring to this app. Keep up the great work..Anand ShenoyVersion: 5.4.4

✓ Changed my workflowHave had the app for a while, but in the last year really started to use it in anger with the advent of Covid and working remotely. Concepts has enabled me to take a big step towards an efficient paperless workflow. As a professional Retail Store Designer I am constantly working on ideas for anything from fixtures or branding solutions to full store fit-outs. Historically I would have worked through ideas in sketch form on paper, scanned and distributed to the team. Formal design would then take place using CAD. Now I start a new infinite canvas for each project, use it as a scrapbook for ideas and notes initially and begin iterating design sketch ideas. I can then develop presentation visuals alongside in the same canvas, drop in artwork from our graphic designers, assemble mood boards etc, all in one place. Coupled with the ease of exporting sections of the canvas at anytime in the process I can quickly communicate ideas to others. The interface takes a little while to get used to, but once familiar and setup with your preferences for pen widths etc it becomes fluid and fun to use. The Copic colour wheel is fantastic and the layering system works really well. But the key is being vector based it means I can go back, make copies of certain drawings and edit every pen stroke if needed. Now encouraging colleagues to try the app too..RedrawkVersion: 5.9.2

✓ Awesome note taking toolI mainly use this app for note taking while attending calls or reading. The features and flexibility it offers is truly amazing. Loved it!.PramodManiVersion: 5.8.7

✓ GreatJust downloaded today, super fun to play around with note taking and look forward to exploring other features. As someone else said it isn’t forceful about downloading pro version which is a huge plus.ZazzlesssssVersion: 6.4.1

✓ Absolutely Brilliant Simplicity!Very well built app, extremely useful..Steven SandbrookVersion: 1.2.1

✓ This is freakin awesome!Exactly what I was looking for. A freeform canvas with vectorial graphic Support. Very freeing, and professional results!.ThundermingleVersion: 5.10.11

✓ Omg this app is sooo goodI like this app soooo much so I’m giving it a five star.Reduce your riskVersion: 6.3.1

✓ Set your mind freeConcepts is so empowering. An endless canvas with no restrictions. Tools to colour and style your thoughts. Need to move something? Select it and you can move and resize it to make space for that new thought. Brilliant mind mapping tool. I’ve only just started using this and it is already helping me identify, analyse and plan solutions. Thank you Concepts! This is a game changer..SciFiFan70Version: 5.10.4

✓ I am in heaven!After trying many, many drawing apps over the years, I have found my BFF. As I waited on the tarmac for my plane to leave the gate, I had a moderately complex drawing I wanted to do. I tried a couple of drawing apps that were already on my iPad, then put them down in frustration. I downloaded another, then put it down too. I downloaded Concepts and have never looked back. By the end of my one-hour flight, I was feeling amazingly fluent and confident drawing with my thumbs — I had no stylus or pencil with me. Now I’m going to leave this review and go order myself a newer, nicer iPad and an Apple Pencil 2. One caveat: you should expect that you will pay the ~ $30/year subscription if you like this. The free version doesn’t include, for example, editing..Dean S ThompsonVersion: 5.7.1

✓ The best tool for sketching and drafting new ideasI was initially sceptical when I bought an iPad and the Pencil thinking that it was somewhat of a gimmick. However, combined with the right apps, it is anything but a gimmick. I had this recommended to me by a colleague and what can I say, this is one of the best virtual drafting tools I have used. I use this on a regular basis and, when combined with the Pencil, it feels very natural and intuitive to use. Granted, I use an iPad Pro with a high refresh display which helps make the drawing more fluid and realistic, but on lower refresh displays I would still expect this app to feel natural..AuroratechVersion: 5.9.3

✓ ExcellentI’ve only tried the free basic app and i have to admid that i like Concepts much more than Procreate! Very user friendly and so easy to navigate around. I am impressed! If i have a pay increase i will purchase the pro package to explore other cool features! Great work devs.Jo sextonVersion: 5.10.10

✓ Changed our entire workflowConcepts has completely changed how we design and work for clients, the easy usability of being able to create custom brushes, draw to scale and save your own objects library is game changing. After trying all the other drawing apps that draw to scale and charge a fortune for something that doesn’t even come close to being as user friendly. Above all else is the support the concepts team gives, when you have questions they are answered, meanwhile they are constantly releasing new updates with a great roadmap to come. Simply couldn’t recommend the app enough..Lifestyle wardrobesVersion: 6.3

✓ Still not got a good annotation text toolThe app is amazing for drawing but loses a star as Concepts screams out planning, architectural and engineering drawings but most of these need annotation and short paragraph to explain things. The text tool uses another window, is not dynamic. It can t be used ‘in view’. ‘Pages’ by apple has a better text tool. Lots of updates but nothing on this front it’s really letting this app down..LD12345Version: 5.0.3

✓ Y’all actually changed my life!!Not hyperbole, I have been searching for the right iPad sketching app for literal YEARS, and I’m so sad I didn’t discover Concepts sooner! Just one week using this app and my whole product design workflow has gotten a huge upgrade. Concepts is incredibly easy to use, so I was up and running instantly, and the customization options help it be even more intuitive. I was honestly most excited when seeing how easy and flexible it is to export, and that I can export a PDF on one page at a beautiful resolution for my teammates to easily review. Every step of my design process, from initial ideation to validation, iteration and refinement, has leveled up by using Concepts. I feel it, my teammates feel it, and hopefully our end users feel it too. This is so much more than another infinite canvas, it’s the perfect drawing app that’s truly a must have for any creative professional!.ErreurjeanVersion: 6.5.2

✓ Best Portable Design App I've Encountered to DateConcepts is a stable, flexible, and powerful design application. I have tried several notebook / sketch pad apps for the iPad platform, and Concepts is the best of the lot in my experience because of its ability to intuitively adapt to the mode of creativity needed for the job at hand. I work in technology for my primary career and do independent media production on the side, and I have found Concepts to be an invaluable asset for working in both areas. Many apps are great for artistic design but lousy for technical documentation or vice-versa. With Concepts I can sketch an electrical schematic or design cover art with equal ease. There are several features that can be added to improve the application and increase its versatility. However, of the design apps currently available, I have found Concepts to the be the clear and decisive leader..Ric (the) ObsceneVersion: 5.7.1

✓ Occasionally lag for a second or twoThe app improves overtime, and I enjoy using it everyday. Despite the pros, there is something constantly happen to me, I’m using first gen iPad Pro, and have 50+ drawing in the app, these days I noticed the drawing start to get really laggy for a second or two then quickly catch up. Not sure what causes it, but really annoying. It happens quite often. Good job overall guys..WennyZVersion: 4.6.2

✓ Best app ever!Concepts is my reason for loving iPad. Absolute genius and fantastic value..NicbieVersion: 5.6.2

✓ Concepts Review - TaylahMy initial reaction to Concepts. I was looking for a good quality drawing platform to sketch and draw out designs. I didn’t know what I stumbled across when I found Concepts as I was only browsing for a new drawing platform. Little did I know the absolute amazing quality of this one. The add sold me and it blew my mind when the introductory screens played through. So… I got it, signed in and started to draw. Everything is easy to understand and I was really impressed at how easy it is to navigate the setting to find layers and tools. There is no pixelation whatsoever and that boggled me. I highly recommend trying it out. Definitely test it. Do the free trial and you’ll know how awesome it is..Taylah._.Version: 6.1.2

✓ This app is worth the trouble.I originally gave this app two stars for a customer support issue which was an oversight and some bugs that can cause a newer user some considerable problems. I have increased my review to 4 stars for a customer support experience that went very well, and for the app itself, what it is now, and what I can imagine it will develop into over time. Because of the way the creators see the drawing process, the app is unique. Unique apps can be hard to learn, but in this case I am finding it well worth it. I hope to see some training videos that focus less on seeing someone else create a fantastic drawing, and more on explaining the logic behind the apps features. My summary point is that most of the problems I have with the app are not due to the app itself, but rather to my own shortcomings and struggle to understand the drawing process in a computer context..Badapp12323Version: 5.1.1

✓ How it works. PLEASE READ ITS SUPER HELPFULIf your wondering how the heck this app works, here is some basics. This app is a drawing/note taking app. There isn’t a prompt or anything, so don’t try to find it. Pro just is an add on to the basic stuff, like any other pro, but also doesn’t come with too many exiting features. Infinite zoom and out zoom aren’t really a thing either. You can zoom pretty far, but only to a limit. Also, layers are a thing, but ya gotta erase them all if ya want to erase one. But you could just make it invisible instead. Many many colors and drawing abilities are available if you click on them. But the reason it’s 5 stars is because I love it! At first it was really hard to adjust to, but even though I didn’t really like it at first, after a while it was really fun. Personally, I use this for my book character designs, but you can draw or write whatever you want! Just explore and have fun! :3.Nyx277Version: 6.3

✓ Amazing just a few small thingsI love the app! But there are just some things that really annoy me. Tabs don’t automatically close and pop ups need you to swipe them away. In almost every other app, tapping out a window will close it automatically, but not this one. It’s the same with the pop ups. You only need two seconds to read it but it doesn’t go automatically go away. It sounds like a small thing but it’s really annoying when things just get in your way rather than recede in the way they should. Please reconsider this. It would be far more intuitive if pop ups went away automatically (like a notification or pop up on a phone) and tabs closed once you resume drawing. Thanks..Jamie_haenraetsVersion: 5.4.11

✓ All time favourite Apple Pencil appAfter using Concepts for only a couple of weeks, I love it. I’ve been looking for a simple to use Apple Pencil compatible App that will let me take free form notes, draw pictures and brainstorm like I do on a whiteboard. The infinite canvas is genius and so well implemented. I have only learned how to use 10% of the features, but can already do 95% of what I want..DshapadVersion: 5.7.5

✓ SuperbI’ve tried so many drawing apps over the years and I’ve always gone back to my moleskin but this app has changed all that. The flexibility between controlled drawing and freeform makes it better than pen and paper. I’m still new to the app but I keep finding new things and thing omg it does that as well. A lot of really good thinking has gone into this..SimonthetwitVersion: 5.4.11

✓ Some good features and excellent responsive supportIt’s early days for my use of this app so I still have things to learn about it. It should also be noted that my primary reason for using it is to produce vaguely technical plans - room and house schematics, for example - which is possibly not its most natural playground. As a result there are some missing features (for me), but I have persevered, partly because I think its more artistic, freehand features might be useful in the future, and significantly because of the support provided to purchasers. I have used not only the routine support, but also taken a specific report of a problem to the online team and received speedy replies with, first a workaround, and second the admission that what I had reported was a bug...that had been fixed as a result of my report. All this leads me me to have confidence in the app - and even the hope that I might eventually benefit by further developments that could fill in some of the features I would like to see..DL-128Version: 5.6.3

✓ Powerful and intuitiveMy favourite app for notes, ideas, brainstorming, and sketching….it many ways it beats procreate..CanadaTradesTooVersion: 6.2.1

✓ Miraculous software! It would be even more amazing if theEraser can cut in a straight line..PanneverlanderVersion: 6.6.1

✓ Most intuitive drawing/visualizer on the App StoreWith the essentials pack purchased, this app is hands down the best drafting or visualizing app I have used. Without essentials, it a comparable to other free drawing apps..G.B.2022Version: 6.0.6

✓ Everything I have been waiting forI have MANY apps for drawing, diagramming, note taking, and they all lack a feature or two which means shuffling from one to the next. This is the first app I have come across which neatly combines my entire feature wish list along with an infinite canvas!.AsgardsfallVersion: 5.4

✓ Nice!I love the app! It functions well! It’s very useful. Having said that, though, I do have a question. I was using it when I suddenly changed my brush to draw only straight lines by accident. I’m not sure how I did it. How can I switch it back to free-form drawing? Thanks in advance for any answers! EDIT: Nov/10/22 Never mind, I figured it out a couple of minutes after first writing this lol..Gangsta_Cat101Version: 6.0.5

✓ Really like itHaven’t been using it for too long but I really enjoy it. Only thing I i wish it did was have an option to “auto-recognise” and correct a free drawn shape (squares, triangles etc) and perhaps a handwriting to text option too (rather than the clunky text box interface). Other than that I’m a big fan..DeardersVersion: 5.9.3

✓ Top notch functionsI think the best thing i like about this app is that it actually is quite generous in terms of infinite colours provided and the brushes and pens.I was so appreciated that I have bought a PDF insert and some essential stuff. I also like how you can tilt the pages and you have the option to make the surface area of your paper infinite <3 Keep up the great work :D.Random lazy student hereVersion: 5.4.7

✓ How did I miss this?!Been messing around with other vector and raster apps for a long time. This is the first one that does everything I could possibly want. The method of drawing and manipulating/editing objects is extremely natural and enables me to produce the desired result many times more quickly than in standard vector apps that use Bézier curves. The only weakness is syncing and backup. They are working on it, apparently..Rick EvertszVersion: 5.10.12

✓ Go to appI use this wonderful app every day and now relying on it for all sketching ideas, working out angles and texture. Well I still use 6b on paper sometimes but finish in concepts..4E-BABEVersion: 6.2.2

✓ Can’t customise text or change fontI just upgraded thinking the text tool was limited to paid customers only but turns out it’s just a very basic feature. You can’t change the font or do much with text at all. I was hoping to use this app for visual notes but it’s very basic when it comes to text editing. Shame as the visual tools are awesome..ThatboyswissVersion: 5.8

✓ Such a cool drawing app!UPDATE: SLICE IS SO COOL, PLEASE ADD IT FOR IMAGES! I keep thinking that’s the only feature I wish I had, otherwise fits great in my workflow and I’ve been using it more recently for editing / providing feedback on images / flowcharts etc. I wanted to edit a UI screen design the other day and kept trying to figure out how to move pieces within the image and best I could do was to make different layers and erase the rest of the layer then move two layers against each other but just being able to slice a piece out of an image would have made that so much easier. —— previous —— It’s pretty rare for an application that does something so basic to really leverage being in a digital medium like Concepts does. Works super well and finally gives me the ability to individually modify strokes in a way I wish I could from the very first time I started drawing. Great work!.IPhone 6+ testerVersion: 5.4

✓ Better and betterI still HATE the way that the tool bar cannot be locked into place and the fiddly way I have to get it back when accidentally changes. Otherwise: I wrote a review for this app when it was in its infancy. The app just keeps evolving. Concepts is ever more useable! I wrote, after the second update; ‘The app has got the workflow right, everything is easy and the output works. These people still listen to users and not just incorporate suggestions but build on them.’ It’s all just better and better. Thanks.GansselVersion: 5.10.10

✓ You won’t be disappointed, great app!!I didn’t realise how good this app is until I have my new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I had this app downloaded such a while ago on my previous devices but never used it as much then, but now with the Apple pencil it’s so so good! Most of my drawings are concept style based and this app are perfect! Even for doodling!! Love the Copic colour wheel pops up. I’m sure there are lots more stuff that this app offers that I’m trying to grasp but overall you won’t be disappointed! Well recommended! Thanks Concepts.Wanner364Version: 4.6.3

✓ Should follow App Store rulesA 5 Star program, that fails to follow App Store rules and prompts me to rate it, at a very inconvenient moment. Deserves 1 Star for this alone. UPDATE: My apologies. You prompted me only once. And following guidelines. I thought requesting reviews was not allowed anymore, and just confirmed I was wrong about this. The request appeared when starting the program, if I remember correctly. Nothing wrong with that, but I was upset at several unrelated things when it popped up. Won’t write reviews when frustrated. And it is my favorite drawing program after only a few weeks using it. Really deserving 5 stars..Iaminlondon2Version: 4.6.3

✓ Best drawing & drafting app on the iPadI have several apps on my iPad for drawing, concepts is by far the best, whenever I try something new I always end up returning to Concepts. Fully rounded drawing capabilities, able to create dimensioned and scaled technical drawings. Also great for a quick sketch of an idea, or creating complex electronic art. I’ve recently started using concepts to create the engineering drawings which I export as dxf & then convert to gcode for use on my CNC machines. I also use concepts for creating layouts for my hand engraving. Far better on all features & easier to navigate, than Procreate which I have installed and never use..56sunny56Version: 5.8.7

✓ Best app for visual planningEasily the best app for visual planning and note taking. That said, there is 1 feature that would make research using this app even better and that is link bookmarks. In apples new freeform app when you paste a link to the canvas it creates a bookmark that makes it easy to see where the link goes while making it feel like it belongs in the note/mindmap/etc. Would love to see the same in concepts.MaikeruuuVersion: 6.0.4

✓ Brilliant for drawings, graphics and designsHave been using this software for a while now and with every update the app just keeps on getting better, technical support is brilliant and the app is amazing. Currently us this app for panel designs, layout updates and plant schematics which is only just skimming the surface of what this app can do. From what I can tell for anyone looking to use this for art or advanced drawings this app is brilliant and definitely worth looking into..Spriteno1Version: 5.1

✓ The Best App for Apple Pencil Optimization I've Used.This is a great app, with the purchased Pro Pack I found it to be very useful. The quality of the pencil shading and line making is first class. The app also has an easy to follow, and creativity based user interface, with a good mix of Photoshop like settings, and artist based ones too. I really enjoy drawing technical diagrams, and maps and this app was perfectly suited for it. I don't know what a name for it is, but a great tool is the auto line straightener. The only reason I've given this a 4 star rating is personal, I would really like to see a tool for drawing parallels/perpendiculars. I would also like more zoom capability, and photo import improvements. This app is consistently updated which is really nice, and each app update typically brings more and more functionality. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a more "precision" based artists suite, however it is still a good option for casual usage. Cheers to the developers, and I can't wait to see what they have in the pipes..Wooden3DVersion: 4.6.1

✓ An Every-day app!Concepts can be used for almost anything - I use it to jot down ideas, draw up some quick concepts, make myself look like an artist by tracing/drawing pictures and people on multiple layers, and sketch up 1:1 design concepts for my hobbies. The new update is FANTASTIC! - it’s even faster and much more responsive than I thought it could be possible on my iPad, but all-round it just makes it an even better app. Great work concepts team! - I have no hesitation recommending this app to everyone! Ps. The support is also excellent - having asked a few dumb and not so dumb questions, the support team are always great at answering questions and pointing me in the right direction..Vanman89Version: 5.5.1

✓ Free version is great, premium version pricing is predatoryThe free version has lots of features and multiple boards, and I definitely recommend. There are some premium features that are a little annoying or even confusing that they aren’t in the free version, like editing, but it’s not the worst without it. What is annoying though is the pricing of the premium and how it’s presented. You’re ushered to start a monthly/yearly plan that isn’t worth it at all, but there’s a one time purchase for “basic essentials.” This would be fine if it wasn’t VERY unclear wasn’t included in this “bundle” and is entirely the reason why I haven’t purchased this yet. Also, why no COMPLETE one time purchase? Why do I have to individually buy all the features outside the basic bundle? Annoying..Chrispy_AppleVersion: 6.6.1

✓ Unreasonably fantasticI’ve been using Concepts for years now, during which time it’s evolved from “oh, that’s nice” to an absolutely essential part of my workflow. My main use of Concepts is for various kinds of technical sketching/drafting purposes. Everything from concept drawings for projects destined for the workshop and/or CAD, pattern drafting complex fiber arts work, and much more. I’m not a production visual artist; rather Concepts is my first-stop design studio. As such, Concepts’ infinite canvas, layers, and vector-vs-pixel based model are the key features that make my work a joy. With the infinite canvas, I can seamlessly work and sketch on related ideas & drawings, then rearrange and/or export what I need for inclusion in other documents. Layers are a gigantic timesaver, making it easy to select, duplicate, and modify various “slices” of my work, allowing easy correction of mistakes, evolution of ideas, and eliminating lots of tedious redrawing. Likewise, the vector model plays into the layer support, making it straightforward to select, group, and edit individual artifacts. All that’s the tip of the iceberg. As you get further into it, so many features come together to make your work better and faster. How about a *tiny* bit of smoothing to clean up my janky line work? Or crank smoothing to 100% for minute to get ruler-straight lines without even having to break out the “Precision” tools..PsychoacousticVersion: 5.10.10

✓ Infinite canvas is brilliantThis is the perfect match for iPad, Apple Pencil and me. It takes advantage of the pinch+zoom freedom we are used to, without page edges, so I can continue forever. I’ve customised what taps and gestures do, so with one hand I can draw, undo, redo, zoom, erase etc. So far I’ve used it for taking notes for music composition , making huge connection graphs for work and home projects, and scribbles for concept art. There is a particular pen I like, which maintains its with at all zoom levels, not always suitable but it’s an example of a feature why sometimes paper isn’t better. The Apple Pencil feel on glass isn’t as good as paper, but finally the pros of this app begin to balance the cons..LunsterVersion: 5.10.9

✓ Incredible for Architecture!After trialing multiple drawing/sketching apps on iPad, this one is by far the best I’ve used. I’m not personally someone who subscribes to apps, but within 48 hours of using the free version I was in love. The app works beautifully even if you want to use the free version too, so don’t stress. My best tip for anyone in the Architecture/drafting field is to change the pen weights to wire, use the grid, set up 1:100 scale, and then turn off the hand gestures, the infinite plane can jump around a little if you tend to rest your drawing hand palm on the screen. You can export what you like via PDF, PNG, DXF, PSD, SVG and more! Give the app an hour or two to get used too and trust me, it will be worth it!.Meron93Version: 5.8.6

✓ Love itEasy and clean, I always enjoy working with it. There are some small things here and there that Concept doing them much better than more professional apps I hope they add new features and tools for more designers. Totally recommending 👍.Ash Art StudioVersion: 5.10.11

✓ So long…have I been looking, and trying, drawing and design apps. I saw this recently and thought okay one more try. Wow. It’s solid. The layering, intuitive pencil integration, import, merge, smart pen options. …brilliant, and worth the wait..Snowy DreamsVersion: 5.10.3

✓ Intuitive and funI love the options for non destructive drawing methods. I come from a Photoshop and Illustrator background and this app paired with an Apple Pencil or similar digital drawing pen works beautifully with aesthetically pleasing brush and tool options. Highly recommend you spend the few extra bucks and subscribe to the entire suite..Zealous FlowVersion: 5.10.12

✓ Cannot get toolbox out of hidden in cornerLove the app but the toolbar always gets hidden in the corner. I look on the website, follow the instructions, and STILL does not pull in. It’s so infuriating that it does not respond even as easily as the other menu icons. Whatever causes this needs to be fixed cause it’s the most annoying and time consuming thing because the tool bar becomes so difficult.A person iVersion: 5.10.10

✓ FunIt’s fun and really easy because you can draw your ideas on here. But, it’s hard to draw circles and other things like ovals or a egg shaped thing. So 4 stars but really your app is 100% awesome 100% cool and 100% everything.Fox kawaii loveVersion: 6.5.2

✓ It’s now crazy goodConcepts has gone through many changes since my last five star review a couple of years ago. It’s really a different app now, only better than ever. They went through an evolution where there were so many powerful features being added, that the app lost its intuitive feel, and there was even one point at which it was sometimes frustrating for users like myself who just needed a go-to sketch program, and didn’t “live” in the app enough to keep up. Not any more. Somehow, with the addition and integration of powerful new editing tools that let you select and have your right-brain way with your drawing, the Wow is back. I think the key is that Concepts, unlike some other apps I also own (and like), is conceived from the ground up as a tablet program, and not an adaptation of a more PC centric package like GIMP or Photoshop, etc. The developers also release more updates than for any other such app I have, almost always containing useful features along with under the hood fixes, as though...oh, I don’t know, maybe they actually try using what they design or something. How nuts is that? Six to seven stars for this latest version..OwensvVersion: 5.4.5

✓ Great App for beginner or professionalThis app has a easy user interface, highly intuitive and simple to use. Would highly recommend!.LittlefootdesignVersion: 5.10.10

✓ Great for organic chemistsOn top of all the great drawing capabilities, one of the big things that I use it for is drawing out reactions, reaction mechanisms and sharing my thought processes with people. The integrations that this app has with screen sharing makes it really good for Zoom group meetings, the ability to select and duplicate structures means that I don’t need to redraw a molecule for each modification in a reaction, but can instead just duplicate amend modify, and the fact that it’s an endless canvas means that I don’t need to plan out my page layout before I start. I used to use OneNote, but this is infinitely better, and with the PDF export add-on means that I can easily send my work off as vector PDF files to group members, without having to compress images till they’re blurry, or send massive files. Using this app has become so natural that when drawing with pen and paper, I often find myself trying to undo lines by tapping the page with two fingers :p The only thing I’d ask for, is the ability to import long documents to be able to annotate them, as most PDF annotation tools are actively terrible in comparison to concepts, but dragging in pages of a PDF one at a time can be quite laborious..ImaproteinVersion: 5.8.7

✓ Conway, ARCHITECTGood solid sketching and mark up for architects. Able to interface with the office though air dropping save on paper Delightful have been using concepts for a while now. I am able to bring to fruition my architectural concept ideas in the most likeliest of places...... pen and ink flowing from my finger tips....Air FijiVersion: 5.7.3

✓ Superb! Peerless!This app is transformational and just keeps improving. Please don't let the wonderful, but unusual UI put you off. It's logical, compact and easier than the more conventional "draw" toolbox idea for pens, brushes, etc. And, whilst accessible, it keeps out of they way yet always visible. The subscription is the way to go if you need an app like this. Whilst it makes a nice little drawing app, for the very modest annual subscription, you get an app suitable for the professional using it to make their way in the world. It really does have everything much more costly apps provide in a more ergonomic format. Most importantly, the support for the App is specific, prompt, polite and effective. They listen..CoolcmscVersion: 5.2.4

✓ Organised! 🤓Have loved using the concepts app for a while now because it’s just so intuitive and I was willing to put up with the way sketches just seemed to pile up and up! It is so much clearer now. This is a really big improvement with file organisation!.Sketchaholic-am-iVersion: 6.0.2

✓ Difficult to learnThe abilities of this program are impressive. But a person like me can’t use it. Too complicated. There is a long, long manual explaining all the capabilities but It can’t be printed out so it is virtually useless for me because there is WAY too much to learn. I need a manual I can refer to as I learn. If you are already familiar with this type of program you will probably love it but if you are a newbie you will be lost. The review above was written just before the manual was published. I now say the program is very impressive and comprehensive. But there is so much that my learning curve is going to be steep. My only complaint at this moment is the absence of a “Table of Contents” to make it considerably easier to locate information..ForqwardVersion: 5.0.5

✓ Good for non linear note taking.My primary note taking software was Notability. After doing some research, I understood non-linear note taking (open canvas) is the best for learning. Concepts in my opinion is the best software for non-linear note taking..Dontae1505Version: 6.7.1

✓ Amazing with use of PHYSICAL rulerThis is an amazing sketching app. The speed and huge number of customisation & export options are a big plus. The pencil and marker tools look especially true to the real thing and "feel" great when drawing. The new version 4.5 updated the watercolour tool significantly and I think this might become my favourite colouring brush for my sketches. The current version 4.6 added a few really helpful settings that make the app even more productive. My previous criticism was the lack of a in-app ruler similar to the real world (like Apples native Note app or Morpholio Trace have). I just really don't like the use of the shapes for architectural sketching when it comes to scale. However I recently discovered that once you set the scale within the app and zoom to 100% (the app catches key zooms) then the drawing is true to scale on the screen. I can now use a traditional physical scale ruler to draw and especially measure. In fact I use the same scale ruler I use for all my other paper sketching. This has made a huge impact and made the app just so much more useful. I wish TopHatch would publish that on their manual and blog as I could not find this method anywhere and only discovered it by chance. For Architects, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects etc. this is truly the perfect app in my opinion. I highly recommend it when using it to scale with a physical ruler..FelixrfelixrVersion: 4.6.1

✓ A great conceptI love using this app. Has sketching tools - pens, pencil, marker and more - based on vectors. So, it combines the freedom and spontaneity of a bitmap drawing app with the precision and ability to select and change that a vector app has. It really does reimagine sketching on the iPad, and there are usually several ways to draw something. As a result it took me a little while to learn to use it fluidly. There's a helpful manual to download or read online..PeterdhopVersion: 3.3

✓ The app is not working anymoreThe app worked perfectly until last month when it stopped working completely. I can’t even open it to contact support. Please help since I payed for tools as well and I don’t want to loose all the sketches.GiubaxVersion: 5.10.10

✓ Excellent drawing appLove this well designed and implemented drawing app - especially so the iPad Pro version, takes full advantage of the Pro’s stylus. Had been looking for a tool to capture simple design overviews and ‘brain doodles’ for a while, then stumbled upon Concepts whilst trying a Pro in the Apple store. User interface looks complex, but I found it easy to get started and progressed from there. Now find I’m using Concepts for all my hand drawn input. Only area I have to be careful of is getting carried away with the infinite workspace ... when I finally coms to export to a PDF file the file size can be significant (too big to email)..AdrainDrainVersion: 5.1

✓ The Best Notetaking App. Full stop.I’m a habitual notetaker, preferring to ‘handwrite’ vs mess around with a keyboard. This includes big, colourful and elaborate spider diagrams, sketches and drawings. Needless to say, I have been trying many different art and notetaking apps to see what works on my iPad Air. If my situation sounds like you then hands down, this might be the one. I was pleasantly surprised to get such decent features right out of the box for free, including different pens and brushes that CLEARLY explain what they do (pressure sensitive, texture) and everything is easily adjustable for fluidity or precision. The biggest bugbear was the limit to the number of layers you could have (4 or. 5). That said, when you hit the subscription/paywall, it’s not pushy and doesn’t offer the full package only to yank it away after 24 hours or so. This allows you to play around with what you might need at your own pace, whether the freebies are enough or might want ‘upgrade’ for the essentials (which unlocks things like unlimited layers, etc.) or something more. You can subscribe for the features, or do a one-time payment depending on what you need. Considering the ridiculous prices similar apps ask for the same features (sometimes spread aacross multiple apps) and together with the ability to buy additional brushes (if you’re into that) I’d say this is a good investment. Very pleased so far and hope this app remains as it is (or goes from strength to strength,).ScarletpeonyVersion: 5.10.12

✓ Worth your time and effortThis is a great art app, it has all you need and more. A little bit of a steep learning curve when starting out; but with perseverance it really is worth your time and effort. Would really love a big comprehensive manual covering everything to make sure I’m not missing anything. Really great app though!.SionnachcathainVersion: 5.0.5

✓ Absolutely Phenomenal!If you want a whiteboard app to get started on your ideas, this is the one! I was originally searching for a program to sketch out ideas and different topics, so I thought to download a whiteboard! Compared to other apps, this one is is very effective and efficient. The tools and guides is incredibly beneficial. Moreover, it is not difficult to start at all! Every tool is recognizable, and can easily be customized for each individual. Everything can be managed with ease, and the interface is very simplistic. The color palette’s, is another factor. Most other whiteboard apps hand you a few basic colors, while this gives many shades! Creating technical sketches, projects, architecture and much more is capable thanks to this app. It is very direct, and doesn’t attempt to walk you in different directions when you want to get started. It let’s you dive into your ideas immediately, with all the help that is needed. Again, absolutely phenomenal!.TheodyBunghanoyVersion: 5.7

✓ Amazing app for architects/designersI love this app because it’s like a digital sketchpad with different tools like pens and Copic markers. Would’ve given a 5-star rating if it had an in-app ruler similar to Morpholio. I would also love to see more pens and tools like a marquee/fill-in tool..HeykaaatVersion: 5.0.4

✓ By far the best!I sketch journal, design, think and create with this app. With the overhaul of the interface the developers hit the ball out of the park! Before, it was frankly a bit difficult for a creative to wrap themselves around it. But now, it’s like a completely different piece of software! Simple to use but very deep and capable for any type visual creative need where one is used to putting pen to paper or canvas. And it’s all vectors! Print or publish at whatever size you want. No fuzz! My top kudos to the developers. It isn't often that a company has the guts to make serious changes to how their app is interfaced by the user. Primarily because they all get married to the idea that their interface is "perfect" as it is. But this company gets it! This app is built for the creatives that can put it through its paces. Not the developers who created it. Bravo!.Dwest100Version: 5.0.5

✓ A great addition to a great toolI love Concepts. It’s the first sketching tool that feels natural to me and the way I work. Now with the addition of flexible perspective grids Concepts has reached another level. Awesome! Please keep the great features rolling and thank you for a great tool..Prof. PickleVersion: 6.0.2

✓ Infinite canvas is infinitely awesome!I’ve been using Concepts for a little over 1.5 years now, so it’s about time that I left a review. I was initially attracted to the fantastic color wheel in Concepts, but it was ultimately the infinite canvas that won my admiration. Having the ability to develop ideas fully without having to use multiple documents is simply brilliant. So, while I use several apps for my finished artwork, including Procreate and Affinity Designer, it is Concepts that has become go-to app for creative concept development. I use it for sketchnotes, storyboards, mood boards and anything else when I need room to work ideas and concepts on a single, scrollable canvas. I don’t have document size limits or layer limits. And, because it is a vector based program with the look of rasters, scaling things up and down is easy, without any loss of quality. These are thing I just can’t do in the other apps that I use. Additionally, the user interface is simple to intuitive and easy to use. And, that color wheel is simply fantastic. So, while I use several art apps in my workflow for finished work, for concept development, it’s Concepts all the way!.SplashofcolorVersion: 5.5.1

✓ IncredibleI bought this app a while ago but never took the time to learn how to use it properly. Many years later… and I can’t live without it. Super intuitive and super powerful..BzoooooVersion: 5.10.11

✓ Hits the spotVery pleased with this app - it encompasses many useful and clever features - especially in the pro version - which is well worth the additional cost. Whenever I have had a question they have responded quickly and honestly, and appear a very enthusiastic team who listen to their users and try to accommodate their requests. The help features including video are easy to follow and instructive. I have no hesitation in recommending this app.PFT53Version: 4.6.1

✓ Amazing app for digital designLove the app.Gutya1Version: 5.4.8

✓ Amazing with Apple PencilI’m a new Apple everything user Wanted something to truly draw/colour/edit tattoo designs. Seriously awesome free versions with decent access to needed features. Will be purchasing pro to experiment further Thanks for making something accessible to everyone.RoafsVersion: 5.0.6

✓ Memory warningI have iPad Pro 256GB and Concepts Pro. Once you surpass around 20 layers, and I mean just simple line art, Memory Warning starts showing in the top middle. I have made sure that all apps were closed and restarted my iPad with same thing occurring. Merging of layers is pretty whacky as well. When merging down two or three layers I end up losing some of whatever colors in a layer I have between the layers. Three layer object in point is if I create a simple Window with frame and glass panels, light and curtain. Granted they merge dependent on what layer is above what but this is in no way like a Photoshop merge where there is no loss. I would expect the light layer to merge as the back layer it is but not the case. Dev answered so this deserves an update. For the most part this is an awesome app and I will continue to use it. My comment above is based off the lack of understanding of the effects of vector graphics on memory so will stay only for the next guy. Truly, exporting as a transparent PNG and then importing into a new project as they recommend is the workaround once you start getting the error. I would love to export to Photoshop layered file without needing to have to log into an Adobe account though..Stevegossett64Version: 5.2.2

✓ Great for taking notes & Tech diagramsSometimes a great app is defined by its ability at being really, really good at doing something for which it wasn’t really designed for. It turns out that, while I’m sure Concepts is awesome for you creative types, it’s also pretty awesome for us engineer-types: it is now become my indispensable app to take notes; sketch system diagrams; and sketch out ideas about software architectures. Coupled with PaperLike (check it out, it’s just a fantastic screen protector) this is the closest you can get to using actual pen and paper, but with SOOO much more (I mean: infinite canvas, anyone? before having it, I didn’t even realize how much I needed it). This has become now such a critical tool for my workflow that I carry my iPad to work every day (I rarely saw the point before) and I am considering buying a new one and possibly a new pencil: Apple should give these guys a commission, really! The most recent addition (screen sharing) simply brings this to the next level as we can now use it as a “virtual whiteboard” during screen shares with remote teams. Soon as they introduce shared collaboration on sketches, AppStore will have to allow six stars reviews :).Mm345678Version: 5.3.2

✓ AwesomeHas everything except for an eraser.Kakashi sensei fanVersion: 6.1.2

✓ Current favoriteGraphic Designer here. I've been seeking ways to utilize my Pencil/iPad as a replacement for my beloved pencils/sketchbook. I will pay money for a professional, functional app. I love Concepts! After much doodle-testing, I’ve settled on Procreate and this app. I like this app because of the infinite canvas, the realistic paper background, and the (buyable) ability to save vector. The tools are easy to adjust and the controls are all intuitive. I HATE that the eraser doesn't ERASE. (If you save a vector file, the erased lines are all there to greet you when you import it into Illustrator or whatever - colored the same as the rest of the lines! It’s a mess!) And PSD to CC only?? No thanks. If I wanted to deal with them we wouldn't be here. Ideally I'd like to sketch an idea, clean it, color it, and export the useable vector to Dropbox so I can port it to PS/Illustrator/CorelDraw for finalization without too much fuss. Unfortunately there is no app for that...YET! (I’m hopeful) Ignoring the vector functionality, this app is amazing and a joy to use..CeventatemVersion: 5.0.6
