Ratings and reviews

The App is great. It is fast and intuitive, the pricing is fair and I like that I can choose to make a one-time payment or get the abo. But I have two wishes. First: Add a proper arc tool where you have two endpoints of a line and control the arc by moving a third point. Second: It would also be nice to give dimensions to lines to make them a fixed-length or similar. Bonus: Making the fill tool more useful by making it a) fill a closed area and b) compatible with other brushes like hatches etc.

EDIT after developer's answer and buying the Essentials: One of the few applications that make it worth to have a android tablet for drawing. I do some inking of my pencil drawings, I also need to finalize my sketches with Inkscape. Developers answered my question about the app behavior in exporting SVG, see below. It suits perfectly my needs (but artists who works with stylus pressure and dynamic brushes should be aware that it will not be retained in the SVG). The app focus on freehand sketching, so no bezier curve tool and precise node/path edition. But excellent in what it does and the best current option I found on Android to do vectorial drawing with a pleasant drawing experience. Looking forward to the app evolution !

been using concepts for almost 2 years now, on my microsoft surface! bought pro and some brushpacks, and just HAD to leave a review as this app is fantastic. endless canvas, automatic layer jumping, etc. it completely replaced ever needing a physical paper notebook. i can't say i use concepts to draw finished illustrations, but concept art? yes. it's my go-to for notes and well, concepts. the ability to sort by folder and projects helps remain organized :) definitely try it!

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.
