iDesign is probably the best app in the app store for vector drawing. The simplicity of the UI is a huge part what makes this app stand out from the others. Within minutes, I learned how the app worked and was drawing shapes and vectors like a crazed maniac. iDesign uses a graph background by default which makes drawing shapes accurate and easy. iDesign also gives you the ability to do scale drawings. This means that if you want to map out the furniture in a room in units of feet, then you can do so by changing a simple setting. Of course, the drawings in iDesign can be exported in a variety of formats. And, it's a universal app, so you can create drawings on the go using your iPhone/iPod touch if you'd like.

What is it about?

With iDesign, you can create 2-D vector drawings on your iPad as well as your iPhone and iPod touch. The app features shape and path tools, grouping and ungrouping abilities, and multi-level undo and redo options. Your work is automatically saved, you can import and export designs, and sync between devices.
