2 Concepts for iOS continues to evolve at a rapid pace.
3 The file format used on iOS is not yet compatible with the Windows/Android file format. You can share drawings across Windows, Android and ChromeOS. Once the two formats catch up, you will be able to share drawings across all platforms.
4 Cloud Syncing refers to drawing-level, automatic syncing between multiple devices. Concepts for Windows can be configured to use installed cloud syncing solutions.
5 Cross-platform Subscriptions unlock everything and require a free Concepts account. Available now on iOS, Windows and Android.
• Coming Soon means “we are actively developing this feature”. See the Roadmap (iOS | Windows | Android) for details.
