As a longtime user of illustrator and Freehand, iDraw gets the job done with less fuss and no subscription fee. Overall, it’s a more capable and polished product than the much-hyped Affinity Designer (which has a lot of promise, but also a lot of bugs). It’s highly complementary to the excellent UI-oriented drawing program Sketch. Probably the biggest issue with programs of this kind is that their interchange file format tends to be SVG, and all of these programs extend SVG in mutually unintelligible and proprietary ways, so be prepared for cleanup if you want to move complex art between programs.Relative to Illustrator, iDraw is easier and simpler to use, and its strong grounding in Core Image allows true transparency and editable effects which are either cumbersome or difficult to do nicely in Illustrator. In terms of absolute capabilities, Illustrator still has a lot of tricks up its sleeve (e.g. object-fills, mesh gradients). Relative to other rival programs — e.g. Artboard, Lineform, Zeusdraw, and Intaglio — it’s both more capable, generally more usable, and less buggy.iDraw’s biggest (probably bigger) rival is Affinity Designer. Right now, Affinity Designer seems to have a lot of mindshare but, in my experience, is a bloated and less capable product (although full of promise).Finally, another great feature of iDraw is that it has a highly capable iPad version (which actually predates the Mac version). This allows [near] seamless interchange between mobile and desktop.

I have used this app on iPhone, iPad and Mac since 2015 and it's great for creating mobile app designs, website assets, craft files and other illustrations requiring simple tools and uses mathematical algorithms rather than a lot of fluff. I found it looking for an alternative version of Adobe illustrator and only had to pay for it once seven years ago. It may not have everything Adobe Illustrator has, but it works just as well if Adobe accepts illustration and other designs made with this App. I didn't need to take tons and tons of courses to learn how to use it and that was the point of creating it. Instead, I just followed the help guide and it explained almost anything I needed to know. Admittedly, I don't use a ton of filters or plugins, but those I have used work fine. I love this application and it is a vital part of my design workflow to create web designs, layouts, templates, social media headers, illustrations, icons and almost anything else. I've thrown a lot at this application and it still works great.

This is an excellent tool for vector graphics. I’ve purchased “many” graphics tools over the years and most of the time they get used for about a week then never again. Either they are overly complex or they just don’t do what I need them to do. Out of the box, this tool delivers. It is relatively intuitive to use and packed with features. What’s more important is that you don’t need a PhD in graphics design to use this tool. If you are a programmer who wants to create icons for your apps or an artist who wants to do something more involved, this tool will deliver. Back to my earlier comment about using a tool for a week and then never again… I’ve been using Graphic now for about a year. I’ve created hundreds of vector images. This tool has become one of my key go-to tools for app development right next to Xcode. Finally, $29? Seriously, you can’t beat the price especially given that the authors continue to improve and upgrade this. I’d pay more than that for a an icon package. Exceptional value.

I got this application to make a marketing project. I had to design a magazine cover and make a logo. I was really impressed with the app in the beginning stages of my project when I made my logo. It was very easy to use and my logo turned out great! When I got to the portion where I had to make the magazine cover, it all went downhill. The app started to continuously glitch. I tried multiple times to restart both the app and my Macbook and neither helped the glitching. The paint brush tool and the pencil tool are terrible. You “color” or “trace” in one area and the actual mark is on the other side of the page. After every paint brush or pencil move, you also have to go and click the little mouse button otherwise it will glitch out and you can’t even use the brush or pen for like 10 minutes. I have tried updating the app and that didn’t make an improvement either. Overall, I am very disappointed with this app and WOULD NOT recommend buying it. It’s a complete waste of $30. If you want to deal with constant glitching then great, get the app! It will probs make you very frustrated and disappointed like me though. It’s created many migraines and not a great project. I completely agree with another reviewer who said this app should be renamed “Garbage”!!!
Developer Response Hi, thanks for the report - from the description, it definitely sounds like something unusual is happening (brush strokes should not be drawing offset, for example) Please contact us at help@graphic.com and we can look into the issues you're seeing and do our best to help. Thanks!
