Great app
Best drawing app ever only flaw is I have to pay to get extra drawing features
Multi window support.
Kul app.
Would really love the ability to run multiple instances of the app so one can cross reference projects/drawings.

Some paywalls, but very good
Everything seems great, easy to use, intuitive, etc. Most key features are free, but a few things require a subscription, like the move feature. Definetely best free app for this that I’ve tried though.
It’s the best and most brilliant application for visual thinking.
I recommend this app to every learner!
Great app but…
The thing that inspired me to pay for a year was seeing there was a Windows version. The idea of being able to work on layered diagrams on the iPad and share them at work seemed perfect for my needs. This morning I tried and found that the file formats are incompatible. I feel a bit guilty giving the best drawing app for my purposes on iPad but it was why I paid.

Purchasing essentials, still gives you ads
I have the essential version which is the only one time payment option. Concepts now has the audacity to keep advertising their monthly subscription with a free trial. There is no way to turn off these ads or opt out of these free trials.
New user trial
Just started working with Concepts. It’s taking I bit to find the tools I need, like an eraser tool. I can quickly sketch on paper, but using the iPad is a different experience. I expect it will get better. The plan is to make sketches and work with ChatGPT to clean them up and produce engineering drawings.

Perhaps the greatest apps for art
If you happen to be an aspiring cartoonist/artist like me, then this app is certainly what you're looking for! I'm a huge fan of the infinite canvas feature.
I often like to draw my cartoons on this beautiful software (alongside with ibisPaint and Kleki), and I couldn't thank TopHatch enough.

Losing functionality
The app used to be quite good, and I used it for planning out large maps with high detail. But now when I want to export, it is stuck on “safe” mode, so I can no longer export at higher dpi, making it useless for me now. Really disappointed
A enjoyable design
I’m very very new to drawing but,so far this app has been very easy to pick up, and all the lines being vector based make editing your work soooo much easier and it’s not even half as daunting or committal as physical drawing, as if you mess up a line, or dislike your spacing later in the peace then it’s totally fixable. also love the bend a line tool, great for cleaning up edges

Bad
When I tried riding, it wouldn’t let me and when I tried drawing, it wouldn’t let me. The only only thing I could do was put shape
Richtig starke App fürs Studium und privat
Ich nutze Concepts fürs Studium und auch privat und bin echt begeistert. Das Schreibgefühl mit dem Stift ist richtig angenehm und natürlich. Dazu kommen super viele coole Funktionen, Features und Werkzeuge, man entdeckt ständig was Neues. Die große Leinwand ist klasse für Skizzen und Ideen.
Das Einzige, was ich vermisse, ist ein Seitenmodus mit einzelnen Seiten wie bei GoodNotes, also ein klassisches Notizbuch-Format. Gerade für Vorlesungsnotizen wäre das perfekt, weil man dann nicht aus Versehen Notizen verschiebt.
Aber im Großen und Ganzen: absolute Empfehlung, 5 Sterne!

Poor UI, feels cheap
Would you like to be hustled $1.99 for the privilege of drawing a rectangle? Because that’s literally something this app does. The UI is also super bad.
Once upon a time, we had SuperPaint. Remember that? Now we have this garbage. And Apple thinks it deserves awards!
Update: Look at the anonymous loser below trying to justify this garbage. He is so ashamed he won’t even put his real name. In fact if you go to the website for the app you won’t find a single real person. Scam!

Beautiful app for creative exploration
It feels so fluid for getting my ideas out, exploring variations, etc. a beautiful piece of software.

File Management Buggy
Without trying hard, I lost work. The file browser is confusing. There is no escape hat hatch after you open it to get back to your drawing. I
Flexible & Simple
I use Concepts to take rough notes for class (background is customizable w/ grids to help) and the whiteboard helps me visualize connections in ways beyond a standard A4 paper with limited space.
Additionally, I use this for drawing sketches to get ideas down and thanks to the simple UI w/ strictly necessary features, it keeps me from feeling pressured to make a masterpiece and overthink.
The free version is definitely doable but some features are locked behind pay wall (resizing selected strokes was a big one for example) but thankfully the “Essentials” pack is a reasonable one-time payment.
FEATURES I ENJOY:
- organize whiteboards into folders w/ folders
- pen customization & standard options
- importing/exporting images (exporting w/ variety of formats)
- colour wheel variety & custom colour pallet creation (slightly hidden by UI but still easy to get to)
Currently there’s no cross platform between iOS and Windows versions but they say it’s being worked on (which will make it infinitely better when that happens)
Overall, I’ve been searching for an app that functions like a drawing program but has an infinite canvas that lets me explore with drawing and note taking, the pen can be a little chunky when drawing but it’s still is a nice middle ground.

Wants Lots Of Money
Concepts is a great app with so much potential. I accept and understand that subscriptions and payments are needed for extra features, but locking something as simple as the Move tool is just absurd. It has layers, rulers, shapes, custom colour palettes, even different pen types — while lacking in the Free version — yet not essential tools like exporting in specific formats or the move tool. It’s still a great app, but I think other apps like Magma or even WhiteboardFox could perform better. If the paywalls in front of these features were removed it’d be a 5-star. If you just want to draw, with an eraser, undo/redo and a pen, digitally, then this is the app for you, not for me — unfortunately.

perfect note taking app
update: still haven’t found anything better for note taking!
Now with cloud integration! I've tried all the other apps, this one is much more powerful for making mind maps (best way to take notes)

Initial impression
Fantastic for planning diy projects.
Being about to see measurements as you manipulate objects is so useful.
App is intuitive and fast.
After 1 day of use, it’s my goto vector app.
I’ll probably never open affinity designer ever again ;-)
(‘I love procreate, but I generally need vectors).
Congrats to the Concepts team.
Btw - I stumbled on your app after a Gemini chat. Google search didn’t surface your app. You’re not easy to find?
Glad I found you.
