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.

The brushes and tools really click for me. Having the option for an infinite canvas for random sketches or notes just makes the experience more enjoyable. The pricing model having the flexibility of flat or recurring payments is also welcome (considering how many other apps only offer subscription plans). I usually use ClipStudio Paint EX on PC. It did not take too long to adjust, and I honestly prefer this heavily over ClipStudio for this device when I just want to draw.
