Great for Web Designs, Vector Assets and Social Media

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.

Excellent Vector Drawing Tool

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.

MacDrawPro - Fast Forward=> Graphic 3.0.1

I have been a heavy user of MacDrawPro way back on Classic 9.1 OS which I was still running on my G5 Mac Tower. But once I discovered iDraw…now Graphic as AutoDesk has renamed it, I find this app over the top for the price to performance and capabilities. With extremely accurate Scalability I can design everything from a dog house to a work bench or cabinet, remodel my deck or plan the layout of my garden plots with 100% accuracy before ever cutting a board or hammering a nail. It is extremely easy to learn and once you know the basics you will pat yourself on the back for choosing such a great program. Its really worth much more than the sale price. And I don't even use the other "half" of the program for images, graphics, and vector objects manipulation and creation. Runs perfect on 10.8.5 Mt. Lion on a 2007 iMac as well as my 2017 iMac on Sierra.
