There are good things I can say about this app and not so great things. I love the versatility, the ability to upload photos, images and the ability to create color palette. I really love the ability to take colors from other places to create color palette. I hate that there is no rainbow graduation wheel to choose color from. If you don’t like their color choices, you have to go find an image with the color palette you want, upload them, create your palette and then get rid of the images if you don’t want them and a lot of the time artists already know exactly what shade they are after and just want to go to a wheel and choose. This is time consuming and time is money. I hate that there is no “snap” option for guidelines or shapes to lock onto grid lines or to lines on your work and if your tool or fingers move even the tiniest bit, they get knocked out of place and it really makes any kind of precision work or work impossible. You really can’t line anything up to make a perfectly straight line. When you change the composition of a shape by moving out the corners, any other shape you choose will hold that new composition. Also not desirable. It doesn’t snap back into shape. You have to painstakingly reshape it by hand and hope you get it right. When you are don’t using a shape tool, it doesn’t recover its original shape. Honestly this thing is so many headaches that I am looking for other options.

Firstly, I'd like to start by stating I can appreciate all the hard work you've put into the development thus far, TopHatch. I'm in love with the flow of the user interface: your color selection studio is incredibly beautiful and intuitive! Additionally, I enjoy how I can adjust the positions of functional menus around the screen; I'm especially fond of the the option where the tool-wheel meshes against the edges of the canvas, for more of a 'fullscreen' view while working. Withal, I can't understand why this gorgeous app, that has soooo much potential with it's endless canvas, simply lacks many basic needs for an artist or designer: it lacks a proper and traditional bucket tool; has no marquee selections of any sort—mind you, It has a lasso tool; however, and for some silly reason, it functions like a fill style paint brush—which just isn't efficient enough for any serious workflow. Thusly, I have to rate Concepts with a 3 star review. I believe if you took some inspiration from Affinity or Autodesk, this app could outshine them, bar-none.

This is a great app, with the purchased Pro Pack I found it to be very useful. The quality of the pencil shading and line making is first class. The app also has an easy to follow, and creativity based user interface, with a good mix of Photoshop like settings, and artist based ones too. I really enjoy drawing technical diagrams, and maps and this app was perfectly suited for it. I don't know what a name for it is, but a great tool is the auto line straightener. The only reason I've given this a 4 star rating is personal, I would really like to see a tool for drawing parallels/perpendiculars. I would also like more zoom capability, and photo import improvements. This app is consistently updated which is really nice, and each app update typically brings more and more functionality. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a more "precision" based artists suite, however it is still a good option for casual usage. Cheers to the developers, and I can't wait to see what they have in the pipes.
