This infinite canvas is as capable for doodling as it is for diagramming, and support for layers and custom objects can transform a basic brainstorm into a detailed document.
Best App for Architects and Designers
Jay_K_P
I bought the one time essential pack, pdf export and planning to buy the make your own objects. This is one of the best apps for designers due to its unique vector drawing feature. You can select every single element, scale, resize change properties like thickness, colour, straightness, etc. Also the graph and measure feature is awesome. Any amount of zoom doesn’t affect the quality of the sketch, this is truly unique. There is no point comparing this to procreate as it’s a very different app. I even tried morpholio trace and didn’t like it and had to unsubscribe. One feature I think should be added is the integration of map for satellite imagery, this will help Architects/ Urban Planner/ Urban Designers to sketch directly over the satellite image. I had seen this feature in portfolio dress and I think can be integrated with concept as this is a vector app.
Must Have for a Creative
Arjun Phlox
Whether it is to just sketch or write your thoughts or take down notes from a meeting, this app is one of those “one” tool that makes a significant difference in your workflow.Notably, the features I love as a Product Designer are —One, the down-to-detail customisation to suit the interface and tools, to not only your preference but also the preference for particular sheet/artwork. Two, an ability to import, export, reuse, cut, copy and paste items from many places into your sheet. The zoom-out and panning of infinite canvas, etc. Three, the simple yet powerful organisation of sheets.Things I’d love to see added that would complete this as the most powerful tool for iPad are — more powerful text tool to include basic formatting and custom fonts. And the ability to use multiple windows of the app on iPad to compare, etc.It silently defines the next generation of tools. A big thank you to the team for getting this out for creatives.

I have been using concepts for my note taking and I am absolutely loving it. I used to take notes in notability and Goodnotes and other similar apps , I noticed that concepts doesn’t has OCR capability or search keywords through my notes … but that hasn’t been limiting as compared to having multiple windows to surf through my notes in different drawings . I would to know if there is scope in the future for having multiple tabs of concepts open on my iPad . This feature would also dampen the impact of inability to search keywords in my usage. Great work on the app you guys , will be happy hear any response at your earliest convenience.
