Features & Capabilities

Concepts is a flexible, vector-based sketchbook for turning ideas into reality. Its infinite canvas supports sketching, note-taking, doodling, mind maps, storyboards, product designs, and whiteboard planning with realistic pens, pencils, brushes, grids, layers, color wheels, and measurement tools.

Edit and scale every stroke without redrawing using selection, nudge, slice, and transformation tools.

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.

Recent reviews

Concepts deserves credit for doing something that has become surprisingly rare: honoring the people who supported the app early. I bought the app years ago, and my purchase still means something today. I wasn’t pushed into a subscription just to keep using features I already paid for. That kind of integrity matters. It builds trust, and it makes me much more willing to keep using and recommending the app. Thank you for respecting your longtime customers instead of treating them like a captive revenue stream.
