  • Tried some others but sticking with this!

    Have used this App for a long time and it just can’t be beat for 2d vector drawing. I use it for woodworking projects and for laying out shop furniture and fixtures to scale. I’ve been tempted by the 3d CAD Apps and tried a few but in the end they lacked needed features or were too expensive or, worst, had ridiculous subscription fees.
    A couple things I’d like to see: some more detail or expanded tutorials re editing shapes and an option to include bounding lines (brackets?) for dimensions.

  • Love it

    Been using it for years. Designed board game pieces, blog post illustration, flow charts for creative projects, and logo art. It’s super easy to use and to learn how to use. A couple tutorial videos when I got started and the interface has stayed for the most part the same for years. Which I love. Most apps revamp and change everything after a couple years and I have to relearn how to use them. Which I hate. Always love this simple tool.

  • Problems

    The App would not change the dimensions stayed in CM the whole time would not let me change in to the architecture format made it seem like I needed to subscribe to get it. That did not change spent 19 dollars on nothing when all I wanted to do was draw kitchen plans for my plumber and electrician to follow. Extremely disappointed

    You can set the dimensions to any units using iDesign Toolbox Menu -> Board -> Units -> Select any of Points, Inches, Feet, meters, centimetres, millimetres. Please contact us at support@touchaware.com if you have any problems.
  • Crashes Frequently & Destroys Work

    This app either crashed or undid/deleted my work about every two minutes. Thought because I’m using a high-capacity iPad Pro that it would run well... Evidently not. This app is terrible.
  • The Perfect Balance

    Idesign is by far the most useful vector drawing app I've purchased for the ipad. It strikes the perfect balance between powerful tools and uncluttered user interface. It's the first app I've found that works the way I do -- the tools are intuitive and I'm only limited by my imagination in how to use them. Having onboard dimensional tools is a life-saver. As a quilt designer, my pieces have to fit together exactly and I appreciate the ability to get accurate drawings that I can then use for templates and electronic cutting machines. The app works well with its Mac companion XDesign and with the iphone iDesign as well. The developer is quick to respond to questions -- even when I've overlooked the answer in the manual. Thanks iDesign for a great product.

  • No line joining, no manual?

    I got frustrated when I drew a series of line shapes and couldn’t close them to make the shape i wanted so i quit using the app as soon as i’d started.
  • Don’t Buy!

    App is very slow to start and crashes frequently on iPad Pro, don’t waste your money...
  • Great Mobile Design Tool

    Love having this on my iPad and with me at all times. Working in the field to get the concept down quickly with precision is awesome. Have never had any of the issues people mention in their negative comments. Maybe they have too many apps open when trying to use the app. This is a serious app and I have done serious work with it. I would imagine you have to have enough of your memory available to run it and not consumed by twitter and Facebook, etc. Can’t agree with the negatives.

  • IDesign App

    The app does exactly what I need it to do, which is be a mobile idea station for when I am traveling, the tools are good enough, my only issue is the constant crashes every 25-30 mins and many times the line tools begins to only want to create white lines that aren’t visible and the program will not let me change it. In order to make changes I have to completely turn off my phone and restart iDesign. I love this app but I’m almost to the point where I’m going to delete it if nothing is changed.
