I love the Concepts app! My only real regret for it is that I don’t have as much time to get to really use it as I would like. It is definitely one of my default go-to apps!
So far this is the one I will you use. Having to go to new sheets of paper and not being able to have on one document has been a huge issue with the other aps.
I love concepts, its my go to for university notes (I do use sketchnotes for all my lessons and later import into goodnotes 5 so I can combine them with my textbooks) and I really enjoyed seeing you use it 😊 also Im existed for that podcast! keep it up 👍
Thanks, Doug! Concepts is an AMAZING drawing app! I love that it's vector-based and that the elements remain editable and scalable as a result. I wish it had better layer management, but that's what updates are for, right? :-)
What happens if you think of one more node to add as a child of the “Why?” node? There’s no more space there. For other mind mapping apps, you can just add a child and have the app auto arrange them for you.
Great video two questions if I may. Now 3 years later is this still your go to App if not what do you use? And what device to you use it on just an ipad?
Good questions Jason! I still use Concepts when I have big projects that need a lot of space, but I've been leaning more on Notability lately for the simplicity, the page-by-page layout, and the built-in recording feature. Still just using an iPad in both cases.
Excellent video, you need more subscribers. I was wondering, did you screen record this from your iPad? Is that your actual handwriting or you type it? Just curious. Thank you.
Loved this! Just downloaded the app precisely for this mind mapping reason. Will now be checking out the podcast and website so the video hit the mark 👌
is there any video making app wireframes on infinite canvas on concepts? How do I export it for developers to work on like zeplin or what format options are available? any help will be great!
Help while using it in android the basic feature that is missing is i get lost in the infinite canvas how to get back to where i stopped at the last. The way how ipad is given arrows what is it for android.
Thanks for your helpful Video. How did you add the colour bar with 5 colours under the color wheel? And how could you Change the colours of the colours Bar? Thanks
I used this on PC for tattoo art sketching. On PC it was called Mischief, but sadly they shut down the project recently. I have it though. Would be nice if it was free on iOS since I bought it 1 month before it was shut down. Now, I realize its two different developers behind it, but still. Bummer. Love it.
Thanks so much for this! I actually just used Concepts for my latest video, but may I know how you recorded the process? Are you using iPad screen recording function??
Do you know if the Concepts app allows you to select (lasso) text or images and move or resize them? I love Endless Paper, but it doesn't allow me to select and move things after I draw or write them. (Note: I want it to be an app that zooms in as much as I want, not just down scrolling). Thanks.
Yep, you can do that! All the marks are vectors, so you can move and resize them without losing quality. You can also zoom in and out (almost) as much as you want - there are reasonable upper and lower limits.
@@verbaltovisual thanks for the response. Are you sure Concepts can zoom in as much as an app like Endless Paper? Perhaps I have the settings wrong but it only seems to be able to zoom in about 1600% max. I want to be able to zoom in much more than that- here’s an example from Endless Paper. Can Concepts do something like this? If so I’m switching to Concepts because I like all of the other options it has: ruclips.net/video/RPhIWKS6hIc/видео.html
@@jordanrubinfilm The upper and lower limits of Concepts zooming are 10% and 1600%. Looks like Endless Paper gives you a lot more based on the video clip you shared.
Any idea what tool do I need to buy to use the “select and move item” feature? I only need that one tool for the moment and I don’t want to buy the whole pack just yet.:D
I don't think that's one you need to pay for. Look for the Selection tool. Here's an article on setting up your canvas that might be helpful: concepts.app/en/tutorials/setting-your-menus-brushes-and-presets/
I’m having the same problem. I’ve asked Concept the exact same question. I’ll let you know what their answer is. You do indeed have to pay for that tool.
Yes. Moving something counts as editing. It is only after you purchase the essentials pack that you can move objects around on the ipad. Just had this confirmed. Bought the pack. Now I can move things around. Without this feature the app is very limited. The pack is worth the money. I just wish they’d make it a bit clearer.
@@curonevans Just to say thank you for this because I'm having exactly the same question and it's definitely not very clear. *off to get the Essentials pack*
[Yet] another terrific piece, Doug. Thank you for your coaching. What app did you use for screen capturing your iPad as you made this video on Concepts?
Thanks Christopher! I used the iPad's built-in screen recorder, which is pretty handy. I didn't know it existed until a few months ago, so it might be fairly new. A google search will show you how to add the record button to your drop-down utilities screen.
Hi, do you have something similiar for a similiar app (if not this one) no how to do Concept Maps? Would you draw these as well or what do you suggest. Specifically for Calc and Stats.
Doug, great video - well done. Have two questions for you. First, how would you compare Concepts with Notability? Second, I'm a "Unicorn Quest" to find a true mind mapping app that makes use of the Apple Pencil. Essentially have "anchors" on each node. Click on the top or the bottom and the app creates a sibling. Tap on the right anchor and it creates a child and you can use the pencil to write in the node and let it convert to digital text. Any ideas? I've been searching like crazy and haven't found one yet. I use XMind with Scribble but still have to go down to bottom of app to create a sibling or child. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I live on mindmaps for all kinds of reasons and to me this is my "ultimate app" - IF I can find it. Thanks
Not helpful for someone who wants to go beyond childish drawings. Can I create topics, subtopics etc? Can I link them and then rearrange? Can they be rearranged automatically? THAT is a mind-mapping application. You have explained nothing valuable. Waste of time.
Excellent video! We really enjoyed this and appreciate your sharing our app, thank you!
Thanks for making a wonderful app!!!
Is it free?

How to pan (move the canvas around) in concepts windows version I am very new
So far this is the one I will you use. Having to go to new sheets of paper and not being able to have on one document has been a huge issue with the other aps.
Yeah I think this is a great option for all-on-one-page notes that can grow to be as large as you need.
This is by far my favorite app to take notes. I feel it combines perfectly creativity and order, unlike most apps.
I love concepts, its my go to for university notes (I do use sketchnotes for all my lessons and later import into goodnotes 5 so I can combine them with my textbooks) and I really enjoyed seeing you use it 😊 also Im existed for that podcast! keep it up 👍
Nice! Glad to hear it's a good tool in the university setting too.
Launching a podcast together with a new app is a sign that you have my attention
Thanks, Doug! Concepts is an AMAZING drawing app! I love that it's vector-based and that the elements remain editable and scalable as a result. I wish it had better layer management, but that's what updates are for, right? :-)
It seems really powerful. Makes me wish I had shown more than just one brush in this video, and experimented with the editability that you mentioned.
Been using this app for a few months. The section on settings was helpful as I had not fully explored settings fully.
What happens if you think of one more node to add as a child of the “Why?” node? There’s no more space there. For other mind mapping apps, you can just add a child and have the app auto arrange them for you.

Excellent video, you need more subscribers. I was wondering, did you screen record this from your iPad? Is that your actual handwriting or you type it? Just curious. Thank you.
Does it have something like a highlighter brush or pen for taking notes??? If not, which brush can I use to make something similar?
Loved this! Just downloaded the app precisely for this mind mapping reason. Will now be checking out the podcast and website so the video hit the mark 👌
Thanks Will, hope you enjoy using the app and exploring Verbal to Visual!
Could you make a video comparing concepts with note ability and good notes, thanks
Which is better : concepts or endless paper for iPad
Congratulations on your pod cast, thanks for the tutorials/reviews
How to type text in the board, thank you.

Thanks Doug Neill! This is great!
Thanks Maria! Glad it was helpful :)

is there one for apple mac computer/laptop?
good app but once the mouse pointer has disappeared from it and have never ever came back... for my hunion pad
can you do infinite zoom with Concepts?
Not quite! You can go from 10% to 1600%, which has always been plenty for me.
Thanks
is this a paid version ? i cant use the lasso mode
Yes, the lasso mode is a paid feature.
Thanks for this video
Can you zoom infinite?
Not quite! You can go from 10% to 1600%, which has always been plenty for me.
Great content! :D
Is concepts a note taking app as well?
does anyone know of a free alternative?
Its only Microsoft Whiteboard which runs online for Windows...
I want to watch your vids, but it’s a challenge. may I suggest you refrain from overemphasizing the ends of each sentence.
Lmao it’s so funny
Nothing said about 30 day trial and your subs are too high. No thanks
You can buy only the basics for life-time, is way cheaper
Not helpful for someone who wants to go beyond childish drawings.
Can I create topics, subtopics etc?

Can they be rearranged automatically?
THAT is a mind-mapping application.
