Concepts: Sketch, Note, Draw

Bill Endow

I really like the vector-based nature of this app. I use it on a Galaxy S22 Ultra with S-pen and on Windows with a mouse. The interface has a bit of a learning curve, but is totally worth it, as it allows you to be very productive. They have a nice balance between the free version and the paid features - plenty of people will never need the paid features. If you use the product regularly, you'll want the pro features, and I think the price is a bargain compared to something like Adobe Illustrator. I've contacted their support team with a couple of questions, and they got back to me very quickly with friendly and helpful replies.

I love this app! I have used it on a Samsung touchscreen chromebook with a stylus for about a year now. Over time I've slowly upgraded features and am happy I did. Recently I had some weird glitches (app closing and some saving issues) but I made sure my Chrome OS and Concepts were both up-to-date and then cleared my entire cache and that seems to have solved it. When I did write in with a help question I got a very quick response. I'm hopeful even more features come out as time goes on.

A couple things that drives me nuts...the rounded ends on the fixed width brush NEEDS to be adjustable...it's waaaay to rounded! There's no paint bucket tool( I mean even the most basic apps have this!), or mirror drawing. Those two tools alone save so much time! Everything else has been great, I'm sticking around and love seeing the progress. Keep it up!

Everything in the app is pretty easy to use and the infinite canvas is nice, I just want to be able to insert text boxes. I mostly use this for note taking so that I can draw out molecules and things related to my notes, but handwriting notes on here can look pretty sloppy. I've started typing the notes on another app and importing the pdf to concepts, but I'd much rather just be able to do it all in one place.

FINALLY the note taking app I have been looking for. I've been wanting something with the big "infinite" board, a variety of pencils, the ability to draw shapes and rulings, a variety of ruling, import images and PDF's, etc. This this is IMMENSELY customizable, even in free form. It takes a little setting up to fit your preferences, but this is the only one I have found (out of 15 or 20) that actually lets me do EVERYTHING I wanted out of a note taking app.

Fantastic app, one of the few that actually has an infinitely scrolling canvas. Perfect for mindmaps! The pens work very well and have a high level of sensitivity. There's also a folder system built into the app so you can stay organized. Stop looking for the perfect notes app, you've found it!

Love the features when they're not locked behind "always-on" DRM. I fly almost every day. I use my surface 6 pro to draw diagrams explaining clinical principles. It becomes an ordeal if wifi is unavailable, because it locks you out subscription features. This would be a 5 star program if it cared about the user's experience.

Honestly amazing app. I've drawn more with this than with most other apps I've tried. The infinite canvas makes it easy to treat as a sketchbook. That, and the one time purchases make this an easy five star. That said, I have just one thing I'd improve. I think that being able to zoom in and out infinitely would be very helpful. At this point, my drawings take up more space than the max screen size. Maybe a button to zoom to contain all content would be good.

I like it for a lot of reasons, it's smooth and the infinite canvas works great. I love that is vector based and you can import images easily. Good export options too. I have a big problem with the color selections though. You can only choose from the default palette unless you import an image, and eye drop the color. Or layer colors and change opacity. If it had an HSV color selection I'd give it 5 stars. There is a very small selection of purples in particular.

really fun and original way to draw digitally. A few more advanced features like layer groups, masks, and transparency lock or clip layers would be all I'd need to call it head and shoulders above other drawing apps. Still, no need holding back a star just because I don't get everything I want. Looking forward to seeing what other new features they add!
