Ratings and reviews

I mean...it's called concepts...and I do, in fact, draw concept sketches in this app. So it does do what it says on the tin. One thing I find odd is that you need to pay for the lasso?? Which is a pretty useful and (varying from person to person) important tool for the sketching process?? It's not a big deal, but it was surprising. It took a while to figure out how to get to everything and where to mess with the settings, but I got it eventually. It's alright.

The free version is ok enough for doodles, but not much else. It is not possible to buy a full version of the app. The most you can buy is an "Essentials" version that gives you only a few extra tools, and only for one device. Everything else is locked behind a subscription. It fits my needs enough, but I'm disappointed I can't just buy a copy and be done with it.

This app has a LOT of potential. They have smoothing, different brushes, nudging, etc. I love that you also have the large canvas space to do your thing on. HOWEVER, after export, you are basically using a glorified Microsoft paint. Anything that would be assumed to be in a drawing app (aside from brush types (persay)) is locked behind a paywall. You need to pay for straight lines, circles, basic shapes, guidelines, export quality, and more. I say you're probably better off using Microsoft paint
