User Reviews

Users love Concepts' infinite canvas, fast sketching, and reliable note-taking with iCloud sync, but widely critique its monetization and feature gaps. The top concerns are gatekeeping essential editing tools behind a subscription, missing core notetaking features (text, fonts, fills, blending), lack of collaboration and uneven cross-device parity, and occasional performance or canvas limitations. If pricing and feature gaps are addressed, it’s a powerful, cross-device sketching and brainstorming tool.
Pros
  • Infinite canvas with a smooth, responsive vector-based drawing workflow that makes idea capture quick.
  • Strong color palette and intuitive drawing tools that make sketching easy and expressive.
  • Reliable for notes and long-term use, with iCloud syncing and easy export, handy for school or field work.
  • Faster and more feature-rich than some alternatives (e.g., Freeform), improving workflow for many users.
  • Great for brainstorming and planning thanks to endless canvas and flexible layout.
Cons
  • Pricing and subscriptions gate essential editing/features, making basic moves require paying.
  • Missing core editing tools for notetaking/design: limited text support, few fonts, basic brushes, and weak fill/eraser behavior.
  • Lack of collaboration features and uneven cross-device parity (iPhone vs iPad, sharing links).
  • Canvas/tool limitations (not truly infinite zoom, some scaling/measurement quirks).
  • Performance issues on some devices, such as heating on iPad 10th generation.

I only got it to sketch on an infinite canvas, but the more I used it the more I fell in love with it!! It offers so much in the free version that I would buy the everything one time purchase just for my love of the app. The brushes are amazing (with an apple pen!) and when I went to other apps I missed being able to erase with my finger. ITS JUST AN ALL AROUND AMAZING APP! + no ads either!! The only thing that gets me is that there’s no lasso tool unless you buy the everything one or the subscription. Which I don’t mind getting, BUT it gives you a free 7 week trial just for using the app at some point!! The greed is nonexistent and I want to support it more :)
