This infinite canvas is as capable for doodling as it is for diagramming, and support for layers and custom objects can transform a basic brainstorm into a detailed document.

The best infinite whiteboard type app I have ever found. I use it for everything from UI design to house design. The way you can customise the app ui to your liking is unrivalled. Export is super easy. Plus it’s a pay once, own forever model! In the age of subscription everything, this should be celebrated. Thanks Concepts!

Amazing just a few small things

I love the app! But there are just some things that really annoy me. Tabs don’t automatically close and pop ups need you to swipe them away. In almost every other app, tapping out a window will close it automatically, but not this one. It’s the same with the pop ups. You only need two seconds to read it but it doesn’t go automatically go away. It sounds like a small thing but it’s really annoying when things just get in your way rather than recede in the way they should. Please reconsider this. It would be far more intuitive if pop ups went away automatically (like a notification or pop up on a phone) and tabs closed once you resume drawing. Thanks.

Update that ruins your work

Upset no name!
I have been enjoying this app for months. Then recently they decided to add a shape recognition function. That changes whatever you draw into a standard shape if you pause. WHY?! Why break what works well? It takes so long to quickly draw what I need after multiple attempts to finish it quickly!! I have to remove that stupid standard shape for a dozen times!! Just be aware to start a long project on the app when they can let you down like this. By changing and adding unnecessary things and hindering your workflow. I am worried what if they change something and I am not able to finish my project because of it! I don’t trust this developer anymore.

Thanks for the feedback on this new feature, we are listening on how we can improve it. The good news is you can disable it. In Concepts, open Settings, go to the Interaction tab, scroll down to the Draw & Hold section and toggle the switch next to Enable Shape Recognition.
