Grafik Design・Linearity Curve

I was searching for a tool where I can draw my sketch notes and at the same time be able to using vectors edit and optimise them and found Linearity: it is great in usability and provides so many functionalities even beyond my needs. Super happy. AND is Made in Europe, which really plays a role for me.

A year ago I had my review at one star. Now, after receiving a once-in-a-lifetime payment offer I am again proud to be a user of Vectornator/Linearity Curve. My dissapointment stemmed mainly from botched communication and a lack of transparency. I want this team to succeed in bringing us more awesome design-software but its important to be straightforward with your loyal customer base. Not everything is mended, but after some helpful support experience, I have to commend how much Linearity changed for the better again. Both Curve and Move are still amazing to use and with the shift of moving towards the creator community again I am sure the disappointment of the overall payment-launch will be quickly forgotten. Looking forward to a healthy community again!

My favorite vector app especially for iPad. The UI UX design is just great that makes working in vector on iPad such a flawless experience! Also they have great support with real humans

Ich hatte im Vorfeld vor allem positives über die App gelesen und wollte sie deshalb mal für einige einfache Grafiken testen - nichts professionelles, fürs Studium. Dass die kostenlose Version nur 8 Dateien erlaubt, hat mich daher erstmal nicht gestört. Aber dass man ohne ein Abo GAR NICHTS aus der App exportieren kann (was man natürlich erst merkt, wenn man mit dem Erstellen fertig ist) ist eine Frechheit. Damit ist die kostenlose Version de facto nicht benutzbar. Und 7,50€ / Woche ist jetzt nicht gerade günstig. Wenn man das Geld hat, lässt sich bestimmt ganz gut damit arbeiten, aber dann sollte es nicht als „kostenlos“ beworben werden oder von Beginn an kommuniziert werden, dass zum Herunterladen erstellter Grafiken zwingend ein Abo notwendig ist…

Tolle App, wofür ich gerne auch das Abo zahle. Nicht überladen und gut genug für den privaten Gebrauch. ABER, warum ist die Funktionalität des Vektrorisierens der Schriften nicht mehr da? Jetzt muss ich, bevor ich meine Dateien zum Drucken schicke noch einmal mit anderen Programmen nachbearbeiten, damit die Schriften eingebettet werden. Bitte macht die Funktion wieder rein!

The company should really be more straightforward about the pure subscription model in the app description. I get that developers want to get paid eventually but it masquerades as a freemium app while not having the ability to save or export a project in any way without a subscription makes it useless without it. It gives the impression of locking pro features behind a paywall with giving access to a limited number of projects but that is pretty misleading if you can’t even save one. The incentive seems to be to make users put some time into it and when they want to save their art, they might make the choice between doing it all again in another app or getting the 7 day trial, which then some of them might forget to cancel in time and whoops that’s another sale. It does leave a bad taste and as I said, pure premium is fine but a product that’s good and popular enough on its own, which Vectornator apparently was, does not have to deceive users to make a sale.
