Great app, limited by purchase. 4.99 a month is ridiculous. .99 a month would be understandable. All the good stuff is hidden behind the paywall. Otherwise a great app. Edit: you’d make more money if dropped the price. People would be able to afford it. $4.99 a month is ridiculous. That’s the price you should […]

Do not even bother calling your app free when you make all the artist essentials an item that needs to be purchased. We’re only given such a small list of tools which makes me have to wonder what about this app is so much better that it should be downloaded compared to other editors? So […]

There are plenty of art applications out there that are free. For absolutely everything you have to pay 9.99 for a set that in itself is not that bad but then you have to pay additional 4.99 MONTHLY if you want the essential pack and other things. 30.00$ a year for brushes that are most […]

So far it gives me almost everything I need to make art and I love the smoothing feature a lot! One thing I would like is a bucket feature or a way to fill in an area with any color. The current “fill” feature just allows you to place a filled-in shape in the photo, […]

The paid version is so worth it. The unconventional workflow takes a little getting used to, but it is a very powerful tool set. I love that the canvas is boundless, or if I set an art board size, I can draw past the edge. I like setting “finger action” to “nudge”. Now I can […]

I love the color wheel. Matching them to Copic colors was a nice touch. The one feature that’s missing that keeps this from 5 stars, is being able to measure and dimension. I draw furniture and woodworking projects and being able to scale, measure, and dimension drawings is holding me back from fully loving this. […]

Could easily rival sketchbook if line and ellipse guides were free. I appreciate that it’s such a well made app, but it’s ridiculous to put making a straight line or a circle, pretty basic sketching tools, behind a paywall. At a glance this is easier to use than sketchbook’s mobile app, and feels otherwise pretty […]

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 […]

The Android version is very difficult to use. I love the tool wheel and color wheel, however I have not been able to draw anything. Everytime I pick what drawing tool I want to use, when I press down on the canvas, all I get is the plus sign symbol. I’m assuming this has something […]

It’s a great drawing app. However, they really limit the tools you can use if you’re not on iOS. Even with the pro version, you don’t even get simple things like favoriting your colors to find them easier. On their site, they do have some options from IOS that they are starting to implement for […]

Really like the app. I use it both on my phone and computer with graphics tablet. It’s a great combination of being both simple and easy to use, but also having enough features to produce quality content. I do find that sometimes when I open it the app has ‘forgotten’ that I have access to […]

Bought a bad stylus for capacitive screens. I mean it works as it should but as it should, it comes with a lot of jitter. You’ve probably seen the stylus I’m talking about. it has a blue light and it’s on Amazon. Concepts has the ability to stabilize strokes, without any input lag at all […]

My favorite drawing app so far. However, there are some issues that I have. As I got further into my drawing, my phone crashed frequently. It was almost impossible to move the screen at the end. Additionally, the default pencil and all of the pencils other than the mechanical pencil had this issue where they […]

Just a heads up if you have a 2016 or older tablet. I loved the app, bought the add ons, and it became my go-to drawing app. I just paid for the app AGAIN for Windows so I could work on my Concepts files on my PC. After the last update, the Android app crashed […]

Honestly amazing app. I’ve drawn more with this than with most other apps I’ve tried. The infinite canvas makes it easy to treat as a sketchbook. That, and the one time purchases make this an easy five star. That said, I have just one thing I’d improve. I think that being able to zoom in […]

The free version is ok enough for doodles, but not much else. It is not possible to buy a full version of the app. The most you can buy is an “Essentials” version that gives you only a few extra tools, and only for one device. Everything else is locked behind a subscription. It fits […]

Free version is not vector. You can only draw freestyle. There’s no line, circle, rectangle, or other shapes to use. If it had shapes and the ability to manipulate it, I would have at least bought the vector pdf export version for $5.00. $29.99 is too much money, especially since a reviewer said it’s possible […]

I’m still a learner, so I haven’t fully unlocked everything this app can do, but as far as I can see, this is the ultimate mobile app for creative purposes! I have a Galaxy Note, so it pairs perfectly with the stylus! One improvement I hope the developers add, since built-in-stylus’ are becoming more common […]

This originally was getting 5 stars from me, but after waiting I changed. The reason I’m giving a lower rating is because it’s VERY restricted on a free plan. It would probably be a 5/5 if I payed, but not free. you can only import 5 ref photos, across all drawings, tools are restricted to […]

Such a great way to get into digital art, and to design sketches of characters, scenes, etc. But if I had to change a few things, I would probably get some more flexiblity in the app, like with the number of imports available, it seems unfair to give people the ability to sketch freely, but […]
