  • Polished and intuitive

    Note: I’ve only been using this for about half an hour, but it has been the smoothest experience out of any similar tools I’ve tried so far, and I’ve been searching. Procreate is known for having a very intuitive user friendly interface, and Concepts takes that a step up. Not only are tools easy to find and configure, but the whole UI looks and feels beautiful, sleek and efficient. Tools and settings have descriptions in their pop up windows so you aren’t left guessing. I wasn’t sure at first what could be so great about a color palette to make people talk about it the way they do, but my god what a color palette.

    The subscription pricing seems really reasonable for a powerful art program, and aside from there being a solid free version, I appreciate that there’s a one time purchase tool unlock option so you’re not forced into a subscription to get a little more functionality.

    Excited to keep discovering more cool functions.

  • Smooth App

    I don’t write many reviews, since I never have time. But this app is so smooth on my iPad Pro. I actually just do light sketching for work (i study Physics), I don’t even need all its advanced features (e.g. layers, brush creation, etc.), but theres something about the automatic color palettes for your strokes that makes me feel I can quickly sketch something that I can understand (color coding for me is important), and I cannot do this on OneNote. I used it for one semester for note-taking, and it was quite nice, but I think sketching ideas is the best use for this app. The rules is very intuitive to use, and the best one I’ve seen in an app, and it’s something I need for my work (precise ratios u know); I wish the measurement setting was a bit easier to access rather than having to go into the same sub-menu over and over again, but I really appreciate what this app is doing. Though I don’t even need the pro version, I would love to get it just to support the developers (we’ll see).

    I have rarely had issues and the rendering of the strokes is so much better than OneNote (I still admire OneNote, but I always feel my work looks ugly in it). The fact you can control smoothness of your stroke is another thing I love of this app (I would like to see a quick slider on the side, instead of having to go into the submenu evverytime, but still, it’s pretty decent).

    I’m sure the UX can improve, though it will take time since it’s already so good.

  • 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!
