About this app

Think, plan & create – Concepts is a flexible vector-based creative workspace/sketchpad where you can take your ideas from concept to reality.

Concepts reimagines the ideation stage – offering a safe and dynamic workspace to explore your ideas, organize your thoughts, experiment with and iterate designs before sharing them with friends, clients and other apps.

A lot of good in this app for sure. But some basic features are keeping it at a 3 for me. No mass export options No syncing between devices The only back up option you do offer is done at some random interval that I have no control over. The drawing part is top tier. But the functionality to make this app truly worth while hasnt been realized as of yet.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. If you want to sync between Android devices we have info on how to do that here: https://tophatch.helpshift.com/hc/en/3-concepts/faq/251-how-do-i-sync-drawings-across-devices-on-android/?p=android. If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to our support team by going to the Help menu in Concepts. Thanks

This is my favorite drawing app. The infinite canvas is ideal for situations where you don't know exactly how much space you'll need, but it wouldn't make sense to split it on to multiple pages (e.g. a mind map). I use it quite a lot for playing table top role playing games. Recent improvement of being able to save to internal storage is huge for me. Using an app called OneSync, I am able to sync the folder on my Android to OneDrive so everything is available on Windows also.

The art is amazing. ONE of the very few free or reasonably priced art apps. BUT.. There is one main issue. Where is the smudge tool or a tool similar. I love smudging my art.. So learning to have to deal without it is a struggle and a half along with the blur tool. If you can place these in I just need them direly. Things I love about this app : Functionality, it's easy to get adjusted to Infinite landscape Reasonable prices + Free Smooth connection, draws where placed Saves automatically

Hi Erin, it's great to hear you are enjoying Concepts. To set expectation, a smudge or blur tool is unlikely in Concepts as it is a vector based app. Performance would be unacceptably slow for most users. Hopefully, the other features we have make it worth your while to continue to use Concepts.

What's new

2024.10 - Hide Everything

For a cleaner experience, you can now hide all controls by swiping outwards on a canvas menu button (like Precision or Layers) to first minimize them, then again to hide them completely. Tap the Concepts icon to unhide or swipe inwards on a minimized menu to return to full size. Gesture and keyboard shortcuts are configurable in Settings.
