iDesign

What is the purpose of this app ? Vector graphics design or technical drawing ? If its both need to be better at the following 1) Palm rejection very poor. Needs option - to only use apple pencil while drawing as sometimes random lines get drawn by finger when you rest the palm. 2) Snap to objects not good : i have to precisely touch the point of the line to get the snap mark and draw another line. Whats the point of snap then ? This makes the whole process of drawing very slow. Snap should be before you touch the line when the cursor gets near it. 3) Need dialouge box to enter measurements - eg 50 - to draw a 50mm line - essential for technical drawings 4) Continuous insert should be by default on. If i wouldnt have found this feature, i was going to delete the app 5) App crashes when trying to insert an arc 6) Svg files dont open in corel draw. 6) Needs a color wheel and eye dropper to pick colors The Ui is very good, but without these above changes, its a vey poor app

A very easy app for beginners. Wish there was a distribute function along with aligning

It's an awesome app, you get everything that's promised in the description. Just a small thing to note - it's iOS 9 version isn't released and so it keeps crashing on my iPad and iPhone. Please provide the update and also please enable grasis editing(cropping images, effects,etc) if possible.

I was looking for something similar to Desktop equivalent of Freehand and Illustrator. I jumped into this app and bought after reading introduction. And I must say that this application has almost fulfilled my dream of what I was looking for. It has everything one could wish in an app for drawing. I think it is very good app. If you are looking for an app as a substitute for Desktop drawing app, look no further. This is the one. If anyone does know anything else as similar, please let me know.

With the latest update of version 1.2, iDesign is getting closer to becoming 'full feature' design app on iPad. Or to an extent it's possible for any app to get closer to be one. With addition of tools for polyline and polygon editing with newly added controls, numerical readouts to help precision of measurements, and most importantly for any design app, the facility to insert text and manipulate fonts, albeit with limited and basic typographic controls, iDesign certainly has fulfilled its promise made at the time of release of version 1.1. I wonder though, with my stubby index finger, how far any one of these 'vector' design apps can help me produce a meaningful, professional design. But it certainly took me back to those early days of DTP on Macintosh and assured me, with the benefit of hindsight, that it could be a promising beginning.

Bad

I changed nothing in my original review. A limited response from the developer. They just don’t get it folks. My “sarcasm” was meant to make a point that they simply won’t acknowledge no matter how hard we try. They took our money in good faith then changed the rules. Plain and simple. Also, if someone does join the subscription what prevents them from “updating” the payment system again to a flat rate and gather all that money? Nothing. Personal attacks on me, my comments and other customers is no way to address your user concerns. You are ripping people off. If you don’t like the resentment that comes with such an action you shouldn’t have done it. I’m sure this response with do nothing but further your boilerplate comments that you post to every person critical of the choices you are making. No one is trying to rip you off, get something for free or anything else you post in your useless responses. But some people meaning you, just don’t get it. Like the old saying goes and I’m paraphrasing here “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him think” Meaning? You’re so busy defending your position you forgot to do what’s right. Respond again if you must but I’m sure it will just show more of your prosecution complex. Know that what you’re doing is wrong. You can’t pee on someone’s back and tell them it’s raining. You should consider a career in politics since this app thing isn’t quite working out. Developer response to my first review: “You have changed your original review with sarcastic misinterpretations of the developers response, change can be hard when it does not come free anymore. More than a decade of free updates were provided, unfortunately there will be some critics who do not want to pay a fair price, the app will continue with its development and support for users who value it. Version 4.1 has added many new enhancements, many more will follow with continued support for future iOS versions and devices." My initial review: Out of the kindness of our dumb old hearts “we at TouchUnAware” take the time to show everyone how we rationalize charging, once again for our app that people already paid for (and what we really mean when we post a boilerplate “response” to the critics) Thank you for your review. (And your money you paid in good faith for our app) iDesign was updated and supported for the past 13 years for a low one time purchase price, (low being relative to what WE now consider low) many users have enjoyed free updates and suppor

I bought it in 2018 and now it is a subscription based app. UPDATED: the developer responded but he assume I use it regularly. I use it next to never so I don’t want a subscription based app. I just want what I agreed to and paid for.

Beware of purchasing from this developer; they cannot be trusted. I purchased this app and created many designs with it. Then one day, I opened the app to a message that it’s now on a subscription model, and all I can do is use the “free viewer” to view my files - except that the free viewer is so limited as to be useless. Did you have some layers hidden? Tough bananas, the free viewer doesn’t actually let you view them. This is theft. I have used other paid apps that switched to a subscription model. They have all created a new version of the app and left the old one alone. That’s the non-scammy way to handle it. This developer instead tells its existing users that it considers them freeloaders. So, beware of doing business with this developer. You might just find that somewhere down the road, they decide to unilaterally declare that you owe them more money to get at your own drawings.

If you have used this app for any amount of time, you cannot toggle your layers, so they have essentially taken your drawings hostage to a subscription. Do not recommend.
