Great app

Most free value of any productivity app in the App Store for the IPad!

Solid

Concepts has been a solid go to for immediate conceptualization. I’m particularly impressed with its ability to import imagery, allow resizing, place and erase while building a quick collage to reference for sketching. Since I prefer to sketch out many ideations by hand, these minor conveniences are awesome… because all of a sudden I realize i can sketch right on top of the images and then sketch beside them. I’m testing out using it in tandem with procreate; where more polished collages and are can be done. However, between the two concepts has been a lot simpler to simply start a new drawing and get going. Excellent stand alone, even better in tandem.

Fake!!

I just downloaded this app. cant even load it. i hate it!!

Really Nice. Needs a couple adjustments.

It took me a while to warm up to it, but I’m really liking it. I just wish there was an object eraser that deletes entire stroke on contact. I also find the writing experience subpar compared to Goodnotes. The colour palette management is very unintuitive to me. It’s not obvious to me how to add and remove colours from my current palette.

I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH!!

I only got it to sketch on an infinite canvas, but the more I used it the more I fell in love with it!! It offers so much in the free version that I would buy the everything one time purchase just for my love of the app. The brushes are amazing (with an apple pen!) and when I went to other apps I missed being able to erase with my finger. ITS JUST AN ALL AROUND AMAZING APP! + no ads either!! The only thing that gets me is that there’s no lasso tool unless you buy the everything one or the subscription. Which I don’t mind getting, BUT it gives you a free 7 week trial just for using the app at some point!! The greed is nonexistent and I want to support it more :)

“Editing is a paid feature”

Another “free” app that tries to force you into a purchase. I wouldn’t even mind purchasing, but having to rent to edit is kinda nutty.

Make easy things easier

Export line art to svg in one or two gestures

Select should be a top line function, not a detail on par with brush selection

Can’t do anything useful, scam app

“Editing is a paid feature” oh okay so you’re useless then huh

Good infinite zoom but money hungry

I like that this is meant to be an infinite zoom canvas but it's not as "infinite" as some might think. It's kinda hard to tell where it ends so probably add a zoom variable for how much in or out you have zoomed.

Also, this app is rather money hungry. Paying to edit your drawings, i.e. Lasso, etc., is quite greedy because it is one of the main mechanics of drawing apps as a whole.

Pls read!!!

Hey, so I tried to download the older version but it kept making me press that cloud looking button to try and download but it kept doing that so can u fix it?

Awesome Concepts

I love the color wheel

This is simply amazing

I’ve been using this for a couple of weeks now and I have to say that this is such an incredible app, it does everything that you need. It’s easy to use and the team are so helpful.

Signing in

Not sure if I’m dumb or blind but I can’t long into my exciting account

I love concepts ❣️

This app has ideas and creativity for people that love drawing and writing things for making art. It’s a pretty good app! I love everything in concepts.I just think this is a 100% app! I love your concept app😍

Good

Very good

My preferred art software on iPad

The brushes and tools really click for me. Having the option for an infinite canvas for random sketches or notes just makes the experience more enjoyable. The pricing model having the flexibility of flat or recurring payments is also welcome (considering how many other apps only offer subscription plans).

I usually use ClipStudio Paint EX on PC. It did not take too long to adjust, and I honestly prefer this heavily over ClipStudio for this device when I just want to draw.

Ridiculous price

Ridiculously expensive one-time purchases (and subscriptions) when Procreate is a quarter of the price for similar features. I bought this twice — on Android and Windows — and it proved to be not worth it. Not buying it again here.

Concepts is great when you get used to it.

I’m just not down to lock into pay monthly, or pay annually, or any ongoing payment for a super simple vector drawing app. I understand this is their business model, this is just , like most any app, not worth an ongoing subscription payment for, and the iOS native Freeform app or the Sketchbook™ app with only a 1x $3 premium upgrade for life, is exponentially a better value for just about any user, in my approximation. The idea of ongoing payments for things that do not provide constant, edge of the moment, extremely relevant content upgrades are simply not worth the expense. Americans are getting squeezed by real non-negotiable expenses and can’t afford the non-stop discretionary spend throwaways like this.

Best concept for drawing with re-editable vectors

However, it currently lacks several key features. Given the rapid advancements in AI coding, I hope the team leverages these new capabilities to further refine their promising concept

Taking away PAID FOR services

BE AWARE! You will buy the application or a feature of the application and they will roll out an update and take it away while hiding it behind a pay wall. They said this app update was to help with apple connection. That’s a lie, they just took a bunch of tools away and hid it behind a pay wall so you’re forced to get the subscription. I’m tired of greedy companies doing this. DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING ON THIS APP! They will steal it from you! I’m telling everybody I can this is outrageous.
