Concepts

I’ve subscribed for the pro, payed, got the notification what I’ve payed for and everything is unlocked. Turned out, nothing is unlocked. Support said that I did the one time purchase which means that I have buy the elements/tools separately. After trying again and again with no help from support, I tried to retrieve my purchase which it didn’t do. Asked for my money back and no response from support at all! IT’S A SCAM! DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS APP!

Concepts is een fijne en veelzijdige app.
Waar ik het meest blij mee ben zijn onbeperkt canvas en lagen in de betaalde versie.
Genoeg brushes, maar geen overdaad zoals in bijvoorbeeld Procreate.
Vector based dus prima schaalbaar en goed om te animeren.

I love working with Concepts. Especially the infinite canvas to work with, how easy it is to select, change, drag and drop lines across the canvas and across layers and the fact that you can create ‘object packs’ of your own hand made drawings, so you can easily reuse them in other drawings! And of course scaling without loss of quality!

Yes it’s a great app. It does what it should do and it does that well. But hey… subscription-based multi-platform apps do cash on a regular basis to constantly developing the app, not just bug fixing and/or adding nice-to-haves for the happy few (hovering pencil… only for M2… really…?!). And of course, those nice-to-haves introduce new bugs. But where’s the MacOS version? And, where’s iCloud sync? It’s on the (marketing) roadmap for a couple of years, but still not in place. Overpromise, under deliver.

Hele fijne app vooral in combinatie met Apple pencil kan mooie plaatjes maken, heel gebruikersvriendelijk heb veel verschillende tekenaars gebruikt maar deze werkt het beste

Fantastic, almost too good, so easy and efficient. Forget your expensive creative suite from Adobe…this is an all-in-one super-app. Can not imagine my work as interior architect and creative director without this brilliant format. Love it. Love it. Love it. Niels Kramer

I use this app for all my graphical work. Need a bunch of photos in a collage, this is the app. Write in your journal, it is that. Need some design drawings for work, load it up. I like it

It doesn’t even include editting, only undo, so is basically what we used to call nagware. Paid version is 32€ per year, so quiet expensive if you occasionally want to sketch.

The ratings were looking very good so I decided to test it. BAD CHOICE!
Here is my explanation:
It's a normal drawing app, but it doesn't even have color drop (fill in one space with the color selected) and almost everything costs money! Import templates? Money! Import a SIMPLE CIRCLE? MONEY! €1,99 for 10 stickers? Sorry, just no!
Free trail isn't free, and it says unlimited layers, but free mode is only 5 layers as maximum!

They’ve made it so that the three day trial, needs to be cancelled before the 2nd day. Otherwise they automatically charge you the full subscription cost. Quite sneaky if you only wanted to try the software.

I have not found any other app that was so delightful to use, definitely recommend if you want to draw or use it for productivity reasons (e.g mindmaps).

I tried many drawing apps, this one is the best. And it's hard to tell exactly why. It just feels so natural – very close to drawing on paper. Nothing is in the way, everything is at hand. A gesture / tap for all frequently used actions, very rich pencil functions.

Het oneindige canvas is echt de beste feature ooit! Heerlijke app, komt warm aanbevolen.

Really great, very easy in use, working with different layers, pens and styles. Now a day’s I am using Concepts more and more to visualise my interior or exterior projects. Grtz CR= van Amsterdam

Basic tools are good, but this needs a lot of work to be practical for actual designers.
The absence of a filling tool is a big problem. High resolution PNG exports have so much aliasing that even in other graphic software it's hard to fill in areas.
Snapping needs *a lot* of work to be practical. Snapping force is not strong enough by far, and not customizable, leading to endless finicking to get objects to align with each other. When I draw a square on the graph paper grid, the bounding box when editing this square does not snap to the grid. (Because the size of the bounding box is the outside measurements of the box - that is to say, the grid points increased by half the line width - instead of the actual points on the grid.)
Releasing my finger/pen off the iPad can cause a snap to release, which means I can start all over again. It should not be this hard to draw a 90 degree circular arc - but drawing on a guide for some reason does not snap to the grid. Even when the guide itself is snapped to the grid. All of this is essential when doing real world design work to control exact measurements.
DPI isn't fully customizable when exporting.
All of this is in the fully paid version.
All in all not worth a €30+ yearly subscription in its current state, in my opinion.

Still no dropbox support. I use concepts on both of my iPad pro’s, but due to the lack of cloud synchronization I still have to remember which projects, background info, etc files are on which device. It certainly is time to provide for this feature!

Everyting i want to do with a note-taking and scetching app. Perfect for making wireframes, drawinf, scetching and taking notes, all in one app and all is possible in an unlimted canvas. Which by the way also makes it perfect for ideation.
