Pros and cons of Concepts app for iPhone and iPad

Concepts app good for

I would buy it and go pro if I had a credit card. Thank you for the developers! Fantastic app!
These guys know what they do! Thanks for a useful and good feeling app. I am more into technical drawing then in arts and it is a joy to use this app, especially with the Apple Pencil and the new smaller iPad Pro.
I am stoked, it is thé perfect app for a graphic/designer and might as well be the best free app out there) thankyou for an amazing job!
I love this app. :-) I have one big feature wish: If an apple pencil is connected, please, give me an option that I can draw only with the pencil and change the tools with the fingers. If you can do both with both, you will often draw by accident. I.e. if you wanna change the arc tools position, it happens often that you draw the arc by accident. So please give me an option that I can change everything about the arc tool with my fingers, but draw the arc only with the pencil!
Thank you for continuing to develop such an awesome product. I use your app everyday as part of my normal workflow and would be lost without it. I have a couple of refinements for you to consider implementing... 1. The object library is a great start but would it be possible to provide the ability to create a custom object library? This is something I have been hoping for since day one. I tend to present my work in a wobbly-line type format so creating my own objects is essential. 2. Even though I use it everyday I still find color and line weight selection cumbersome especially when trying to match a color used in another drawing or change quickly between a .18, .25, .35 and .5 pen weight ( old school I know) in the same drawing. Even perhaps using the Procreate slider solution of up-down for large increments and left-right for small increments would help. 3. Would it be possible to provide the ability to match attributes of other line styles or colors in the drawing? 4. Would it be possible to provide the ability to create a custom selection set which would enable ( for example) 10 colors and 5 pen weights to be pre-selected and saved with a name that is easy to access or preferably permanently on screen? 5. I still find that I am inadvertently working in the wrong layer 50% of the time. It may be my own stupidity but I dont find this happens with apps like Procreate. Which always has the layer you are currently working in visible at all times. 6. Can you provide the ability to import PDFs and DWGs/ DXFs? I hope you dont take any of these suggestions as criticisms. They are just requests for refinement of an already excellent app.
I like the app. I am loving what I have created so far. I would like to be able to choose from regular font to bold. Fun!

Some bad moments

Thats a joke, eh? No setup for user interface language. Want to set UI to English... not possible. ANNOYING!
This is app is more than frustrating. You will have to buy upgrades to make this more than MS Paint, even MSPaint has more functionality. Do not waste your money.
I am patient, and I thought that this might be a great new app with a fresh approach. Well, there are a few things that are cool, but there are many other features here that are just the same as all the other apps, except that you dont have to pay extra for every bloody little feature in those ones. This last batch of pay for extras was too much and I am now just going to delete the app and use the other ones that include these features, rather than make you pay for every little thing. Too bad, but enough is enough!
It is money making app now. Buy this extra today and than buy another one. If you buy everything today it will be more to buy next month. We are milking cows. I have this app for a long time but I never used it. I am expert in drawing 2D and 3D. Desktop version of AutoCAD is my drawing tool. It is huge it takes time to master but it is logical and workflow makes sense. Concepts is so flawed and so unnatural. I understand that somebody wants to be different but that different should be logical and natural. I am sorry that I purchased this app. This is my opinion.
tool barからtext toolをbrushに変えたらtool wheelに出てこなくなってしまいました。 対策方法がわかりません。
I paid for the pro version, which is great. Nice fully featured sketching app that exports to vector format. But now I have to shell out for the PDF features?! Nice slap in the face for those of us who actually paid money for this app. Luckily I dont need the PDF features, but I will have to keep my eyes open for another app for when the dev decides to start taking away features and locking them behind another pay wall.
