Interesting video. I have to say though, Concepts has the least comfortable and natural ink system i've ever used in an app with stylus support yet.

Does anyone know how to change the setting so that the highlighter goes under the pen? Mine goes over and the color drowns out the pen. Thanks.

Tap on the Layers icon, make sure you're on Automatic Sorting, then tap and hold to drag the Highlighter layer below the pen layer. concepts.app/en/ios/manual/layers

Hi. I made a ONE-time purchase only. I'm a student and I can't afford to make a monthly nor yearly subscription. I mainly want to use concepts for note taking in school coz I love the infinite canvas. However, I don't have the highlighter and other tools that you have. Would you please give me ideas, tips, video tutorials on how I would be able to use the features for NOTE TAKING that is available for the one time purchase only. Thank you

[@werm3169]

I've personally used Microsoft whiteboard for notetaking which has MUCH less features than Concepts, and I can tell you pretty confidently that while what this guy does is really visually nice and great for presenting information, you can absolutely make effective notes without the features he uses. Simply switching to a different colour to differentiate topics and underlining or increasing pen size instead of highlighting will be effective in making something stand out. When it comes to these features, focus less on the features themselves and more on their purpose, and then you can find a way to achieve that purpose with a different feature or method.

Fantastic informative video! Please consider less frequent use of that thing you do at the end of many of your sentences where you over emphasize the final few syllables

I'm appalled that there is no text tool!
