iDesign review
A focused native vector editor for creating scalable artwork on iOS and macOS.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
iDesign is TouchApp’s vector-graphics drawing application for creating illustrations, diagrams, logos, and other scalable artwork. It is designed for solo users and small teams working on Apple devices, with native availability on iOS and macOS. The workflow uses vector paths and object editing rather than a browser-based canvas, making it suitable for designers who want a focused drawing tool they can access on mobile and desktop hardware.
The published product information describes iDesign as a paid application, without presenting multiple subscription tiers or a plan-by-plan feature matrix. Its platform fit is clear: the app is available for iOS and macOS, supports both mobile and desktop deployment, and is positioned as a native Apple-device product. Buyers already working in Apple environments can keep their vector work within that ecosystem, while teams needing browser access or cross-platform deployment should look elsewhere.
Its strongest area is the core vector workflow. iDesign supports vector path and object editing, Bézier-curve drawing, shape-based illustration, layered artwork, text and typography objects, and scalable artwork export. Those capabilities cover common tasks such as logo construction, diagram creation, and illustration layout without broadening into a general-purpose creative suite. The trade-off is a narrower scope: the product does not include AI features and its Apple-only availability limits organizational flexibility. Choose iDesign for straightforward vector drawing on iPhone, iPad, or Mac; choose an alternative when advanced production workflows, wider platform coverage, or collaborative browser editing are priorities.
