Procreate Pocket App Reviews

Ok so I noticed that there isn’t a symmetrical tool on the procreate pocket like there is if you have an IPad and just have procreate I think that iPhones and iPods and such should be able to have the same things as an iPad should

They have more tools and custom brushes. It’s one payment of 2.99 no subscription I hate paying monthly to use mediocre tools.

Okay so I've tried the ipad version a few times because my friends have it and I thought "Oh this might be good to buy!" Then I realized there where two different versions and I was so confused like "Why? They just need to change the locations of certain things" I bought it anyway and I can say this app is DEFINITELY AWFUL. 1)There so little brushes?? I couldn't find a single brush to flatcolor my drawings because the inking brushes are too small and I don't want to use the paint brushes 2)Drop tabs hide things: One things for certain and it's that drop tabs aren't the answer to everything, they could be really annoying and it makes things harder 3)It's too simplistic, simple for art apps is and will always be the wrong idea. It's hard to find things if everything is simplistic. Well yeah that's why this app is bad.

This app works different with the iPad and the iPhone. I saw a video of someone on an iPad and I clicked the same things. Once I got to a specific step, the things that can up were not the same. I was very disappointed in this. However, the app it’s self in a very nice app if you are wanting to explore.

I really like a lot of the new features. The new brush s***** options and the free form drawing are great. Then there are some issues with color changes and drawing a single straight line (which I confirmed after reading another review). But most importantly, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UNDO AND REDO BUTTONS!? If they still exist, my bad. But it should not be this difficult to find them if they do still exist, so there’s still a problem. Then again, if those buttons truly have been removed: WHY!?!?!? Why would you make me completely erase something with ridiculous accuracy? It’s so easy to make an accidental mark. For literally any reason. Someone please tell me what’s happening here. Update: I finally figured out that the undo is now a two finger double tap. Which is convenient for the most part, until I accidentally do it, then there’s no redo! Also, I should NOT have had to google how to do that. There should be something in settings or help or whatever with a guide for all the shortcuts. So I’m bumping it from 2 stars to 3.

I really love this app, but could you possibly include more tools like symmetry, liquify and others? Thanks!

Procreate is a great app. I’m a artist and use it to doodle on my photos. The developers keep improving on previous versions. I’m very happy with he app! Mark

I use five layers at least for the eyes. I love the app but I just wish I could draw more than four layers...

I liked this update but i wish i have the old I don’t know how to use it it’s so hard😔

No probs yet, Using 7+ iPhone Pretty powerful app.. I Wish my procreate on my iPad was as smooth as this.. I’m blaming my update to iOS 11... and lack of memory But the pocket is awesome Love it 🙌 Thanks guys

“Previous Color” only takes you back one color instead of going back one by one through every color you initially selected so good luck finding the same shade of blue you were using earlier. It’s such a common and easy feature amongst other apps and yet you manage to mess it up here. Basically means I can’t make a single mistake while drawing or else I’d have to restart the whole thing smh

I liked it before it updated but now it’s weird and I’m not used to it so it’s harder to use me and my cousin couldn’t figure out why the brush was acting the way was but I think it was because of the update it makes it really

I've never gotten along with drawing apps. They're always confusing, hard to use, and impossible if you don't have a stylus on hand. However, for the amount I paid, I'm highly satisfied with the ProCreate drawing app, and I plan to use it consistently from here on out. Not only is it fantastic for original digital art, but it's great for importing images of your traditional art and doing the linework and painting digitally. I can see how an artist with any level of experience would enjoy this app. While it took some time to get used to, it wasn't anything I had to go out of my way to search online for a solution. If there is something not so obvious for the new digital artist that I would note, is to make sure you use the layers function, as it really saved my a**. I mean hell, that's what it's there for da right? Another great feature of the app is the diversity of tools. I realize that there are probably far better programs and apps with a more wide range of functions and tools, however I found myself pleased with the customizability of the brushes, pencils, opacity, this that and the other. This being the case, I wasn't half as frustrated using it. My problem with these apps has always been "If you don't have a stylus, you're basically f**ked". However this wasn't the case for me. The zooming features and the ability to adjust the tools size and sensitivity to pressure really helped with my issue of always losing my stylus. I didn't need it as a necessity as much as I thought I might. All in all, I'm satisfied with the purchase I made, and it fits my specific intentions well. Would highly recommend.

Impossible to draw anything with detail

I love it! It works good with my stylus, it would just make me soooooo happy if I had an undo button instead of tapping

The layers and transformation tools are great! You can zoom and the different brushes are great. Downsides: it’s been crashing, and freezes every time I open it. Plus, you can’t create a straight line.

I've been using procreate on my iPad for years now, so when the pocket version came out I almost immediately downloaded it. It's a really good drawing app, and with the new additions it's only been getting better! The only thing is that I believe there may be a glitch; I've been trying to turn off the "background color" layer to save the canvas as transparent, yet it hasn't been working. Like I mentioned, I don't know if it's a glitch, but it's definitely been an issue for a few months now, which is disappointing when I'm drawing character profiles and portraits.

I can’t make a perfect circle UGGGGGHHHHH

So it works just great and everything, but there’s just one thing that really upsets me. The technical pen. All the other pens show right under your finger/stylus when drawing, but the technical pen only shows the line AFTER you pick up your finger/stylus. So it’s really hard to see what I’m drawing with the technical pen. I really hope this gets fixed! (I think it’s the same with the technical pencil too)

I’m trying to transfer a transparent image, but I can’t figure out how to remove the background color. Also, it randomly crashes. My artwork isn’t effected but it’s still annoying.

First off, let me say this: I LOVE Procreate Pocket. It packs so much into a smaller device, all while maintaining excellent quality of every feature. I do have a few suggestions to help make this app the best it can be though, which I hope may be taken into consideration! 1. Layer Clipping. I have to say, this was the one thing that really disappointed me about Procreate Pocket. If this program added clipping, I would never need to use another mobile drawing app again! 2. Stroke Stabilization. Not a huge issue for me, especially considering Procreate is mostly meant for painting, but this would be a great feature to have. 3. Gradation. (I think that’s how it’s spelled, anyways) Again, really not a necessary feature, but it’s one I’d love to have! And that’s all! I hope the team will continue to add more content to this wonderful program in the future :)

I use this for my ipad and IPhone but on the I pad it’s just procreate😂 it works so amazing and does the job well done 👍🏻 but I can one seem to find the undo and redo button on the pocket if you can help me please do

I love this app, but it’s frustrating when I’m working on a piece and the app continuously force quits itself when I’m in the middle of working on something. I’ve had it force quit at least 4 times within an hour of working on a piece.

Although I would still prefer the old version, its not that bad. Easy to use (once you figure it out, which takes a while).

The colors won’t get brighter at all. The palette is broken and the colors can only be dark.

I love this app and it’s so great for lettering. I used Procreate extensively to create the artwork for my recent book. Such a great investment.

I love this app and the freedom it gives. There’s a lot to dig into but after awhile it becomes intuitive. However, the lack of a default palette is infuriating. I’m colorblind and I rely on a certain level of basics to go from. If I could ask for one thing, it would be a default palette to choose from.

I recently purchased this app and have been enjoying it so far! I really love the endless possibilities in terms of customizing your brushes and creating your own palettes. However, I’ve been running into one small issue: functionality. The app randomly crashes without warning. It doesn’t freeze, or lag, it just crashes. I never know when it’s coming, so I’m constantly frustrated, having to re-open the app and go back to my artwork over and over. My phone does not have any storage issues, and none of my other apps ever crash like this. I’m concluding it must be an issue with the app itself. I have an iPhone 7. Hopefully this issue is fixed(especially if I’m not the only one having it), because it is a small one, and the app is great otherwise! Edit: I have updated my phone to see if that would solve the issue, but the app is crashing twice as much now. This is definitely proving to be an issue that I can’t avoid, and I’m afraid I’m going to refrain from using the app until an update is available.

This app used to be so much easier to navigate now I can’t do squat it’s so confusing and aggravating to use

This app is labeled as $4.99 but is more like $6. This took more money than it should have out of my apple balance.

I used the Pocket Procreate often. I love some of the new features, but all in all, this is way too difficult for a tiny phone. So much to relearn. Download Sketch Club, and you’ll have better luck!

The is the best drawing app for the iPhone! Just like the iPad version. It’s very powerful! Now just patiently waiting for Apple Pencil to come to iPhone....

This is a very sophisticated painting and drawing app. The iPad experience is exceptional as well. I’m very pleased that the developers have resisted temptation to switch to arbitrary in-app purchase subscription “pay-to-play” model as I’ve seen many creative apps do these days. Perhaps my only wish is automatic cloud sync functionality. iCloud or Dropbox etc. (I feel that would be worthy of an in-app purchase to unlock that kind of feature.)

You guys did amazing job with a new update. I am an Illustrator and I adore simplicity of this app...but when I was testing BETA version I was having problems with timelapse recording. Somehow it cuts more than 50% of my work, and it’s usualy the middle part. So it ends up stiching the beginning and ending into one piece.😒 And now it’s happening again in public version. Besides that everything else is just fine. UPDATE: I’ve send a few mails to customer support and WOW. These guys are on 100% on solving your problems. I’ve never experience anything like this in my life! 👌🏽🥇

Procreate is probably one of the best drawing apps out there. Its most recent update gives the user so many brushes to choose from and even if you don’t find all the ones you want by default in the app, you can still import new ones or create your own. I’ve been using procreate for a few years now, and it has always been my go-to drawing app. I definitely recommend it.

The title says it all, this app is completely different from any other drawing app I’ve purchased or used, it’s more precise and has many different textures.

So I LOVE the app! I’ve used it for a loooong time. The update... I’m having a bit of difficulty adjusting to so many big changes. I’m well adjusted now... but I’m still having one problem. The app will not allow me to turn off the background layer. Every time I try, it takes me to the color picking page instead. I don’t want to change my background color, I just want it transparent. Help??

I’ve always loved this app and never had any problems or complaints, but now I’m having a huge issue. I’ve always been able to create art and then save my work to the French Girls app from the Procreate Pocket app, but now it doesn’t even give me that option anymore... It has nothing to do with my phone or iPod settings because I’ve never changed anything in my settings, but to be 100% sure I checked both my iPhone and my iPod and none of my settings are different, So it has something to do with the Procreate Pocket app. I really hope that you’re able to fix this issue because I love your app, but there’s no reason to have it if I can’t link my artwork to the French Girls app anymore because being able to have that option is the main reason that I downloaded the Procreate Pocket app. Have a wonderful day and Thank You So Much For Creating This Amazing Art App, I Just Seriously Hope that you can fix it.

Idk how to use you new s***** update. I like to do digital art of dogs. I am 12. I do not know how to use the new update, it never told me. When I accidentally got a huge white spot on my drawing of an Aussie, I cant even find a back button. The only way to make it exactly how it was is by redrawing it. The old version was just fine. I can’t figure out how to use half of it. You made it to complicated. The old version was 5 Stars. Easy to use, but can create precise drawings. On this new version, I can barely get the right sized brush. It was great how it was. Please bring it back. Or at least make a back button.

This app seems pretty nice so far. I really like the option of brushes, and how smooth everything is. The only thing is that there could be many MANY improvements in this app. For one, I can’t seem to figure out to import photos. I like to import traditional sketches and pictures of my characters/oc’s. Second of all, there should be an option where you can type the number size of the brush Third; the fact that when I zoom out a little when I’m drawing it zooms the whole canvas out which is very VERY frustrating. Fourth; It should be easier to move a layer around and what not. It’s just so hard and frustrating to figure out how to move a certain layer, and sometimes by accident it completely stretches the layer, and it take forever to get the dang undo to work without accidentally drawing a whole bunch of dots all over your drawing. This app can use a lot of work. You should make a button in the corner to undo and redo things, because the finger tap just makes everything difficult, and I always accidentally draw dots all over my drawings when trying to redo/undo. Like in Ibis Paint, there should be a selection layer. It makes moving things so much easier! Like I said before, this app can use a lot of work. When you fix those inconveniences maybe I’ll fix the rating. ~Bean

I would personally looooovvveee to have a ruler on this app. I am the type of person who can not draw strait lines. So please consider in next update.

This app is the most garbage app I’ve ever downloaded - and that’s saying a lot! You can “undo”, you can’t delete files. It’s pretty much un-usable. I purchased it after I saw it on the App homepage with a feature story. But it’s so bad I can’t even contact the app developer to complain! The worst $4.99 I’ve spent. Buy at your own risk.

This app is stupendously wonderful. I'm not sure why people are hating, but I'm sure that if I were them, I wouldn't hate for sure! This app isn't a drawing app. A lot of people keep saying "I cannot even draw a straight line!!" Seriously. This app is more of a painting app than a drawing app. There is a lot of different brushes SPECIFICALLY used for PAINTING. I'm not even sure why people keep saying stuff that are related to drawing. The brushes are right in front of your face, and also, please look closely before you review! Because, I would definitely recommend this app to each person I know in this whole entire world.

It was a pleasant surprise to see the Procreate Pocket app update today. Although I haven’t had a chance to really put it through its paces yet, the refreshed UI is beautiful and much more intuitive than it was before. Performance is snappy and I’ve been able to create some really cool sketches. Also, if you have an iPad and you’re not yet using Procreate on it, do yourself a favour and purchase it now. I enjoy painting and pen and ink work — it’s simply the best value on the AppStore and the closest thing to having a box full of art supplies in hand all the time. 🙂 PS — if there’s any way to bring support to the SonarPen which will release in July, that would make really my day. A couple other drawing apps like IbisPaint are supporting the stylus and I’d love to have pressure sensitive drawing on my iPhone with Procreate Pocket. Update: I should specify that the developer is correct about Procreate Pocket having pressure sensitivity on iPhone 6s and newer phones. It works reasonably well too. But as a very tall person with very big hands to match having a more precise, pressure sensitive stylus optimised for use when I’m away from my iPad is something I’ve wanted for ages. I’ve tried other solutions and had mediocre results in the past. Perhaps the Apple Pencil on iPad has spoiled me. In any case, I’ll update again in July 2018 to let others know how the SonarPen works in Procreate and compare it with the other usual suspects (IbisPaint, MediBang, and SketchClub). If you have smaller hands, have had better luck with styluses that are currently on the market for iPhone, or happen to be a little less obsessive about your quick sketches than I am, then you may be fine without third-party equipment.

I can’t find the fill tool

This app is pretty good. Happy with the new update. Except one thing: It seems like it’s impossible to unstack artworks. Fix this? Edit: Thanks, Savage! It worked. Everyone, never mind. No problem!

To say I’m blown away with the update is an understatement! I love that there are soooo many new brushes and I’m enjoying experimenting with them all. I only have one issue: Importing both images and PSD files. Neither of them seem to work. Images does if I put it into an open canvas, and uploading files into said canvas makes it a simple, flat, one-layer image. But when it comes to importing from the main screen (both photos from the camera roll and PSD files from whatever app you use, trust me, I’ve tried a lot), where you get the layers and what not, the app straight up crashes. It’s extremely frustrating, especially because I’m so used to Procreate as a whole. If this gets fixed, I’ll be switching over to it as my full time creation app. If not... whelp, there’s other apps such as Sketchbook that can open the files I need, properly.

I used the Pocket Procreate often. I love some of the new features, but all in all, this is way too difficult for a tiny phone. So much to relearn. Download Sketch Club, and you’ll have better luck!

Just like painting on paper. Intuitive interface. I just updated to Version 2.0 it’s getting closer to the iPad version. I haven’t checked out all the new features yet, but I like the new Canvas Size options, new undo gesture, layer groups. Right on, developers! P.S. Tap with 3 fingers doesn’t seem to redo, but tap with 2 fingers works as undo.

Look I know this isn’t as powerful as a full fledged photo editor. But this app is amazing and I love how easy it is to crop pictures and add layers! I can do hilarious edits on the fly and share them within minutes!!! It stays in my main dock of apps for that exact reason! If you give this app a bad rating you obviously haven’t figured out how to use it!!!!!!

love this app! have been using it since it came out and i swear only by it even if it was paid. i love the new update, it’s so much easier to use and i love the new brushes. the only problem i’ve had so far is finding the export as a video recording option? i really love that option and if it’s taken out i’d suggest putting it back in on the next update, it’s FANTASTIC.

i’m a student youtuber & have been hearing about procreate (the ipad version) for a long time. the only problem was that i don’t actually have an ipad, but i do have a phone - so when i heard about procreate pocket, i was so excited! i freaking love the new update, there are so many amazing brushes to choose from and i also really love importing my own brushes into the app to use. i’ve tested out a LOT of drawing apps and this one is definitely my favourite. i also love doing calligraphy and this app has a wonderful interface that is easy to understand and use, and it has so many options like i said !! i’m going to stop here but i would 110% recommend this app!!

This app is pretty good. Happy with the new update. Except one thing: It seems like it’s impossible to unstack artworks. Fix this?

When I first got this app it was a waste of money, you had barely and brushes, but now it was what I expected it to be when I got it, good job.

can’t find the undo button anywhere. Absolutely ruined my entire drawing that i had spent several hours on... Very disappointed with this update

I miss some of the old brushes. The one before the major update because I really loved using those brushes so if you could add them back in, I would be eternally grateful.

Smooth and functional. After loosing access to my iPad do to a broken screen it’s nice to have access to my files on my iPhone. Pocket size though it might be, it’s nice to be able to at least sketch and open my smaller files.

The new update ruined procreate. It is extremely hard to navigate and even figure out how to move a layer. Worst drawing app ever. Do not recommend.

I am loving this app. I first heard about the iPad version but my iPad is too old to support it, so I have to use my iPhone. My only complaint is that I’d like to be able to add pictures from my Google Drive. As it stands I have to screen shot the clipart I want to use, crop it to the right spots, then upload it into the app. Not hard, but a few less steps would be helpful!

Procreate for iPad is my life. Procreate Pocket was great. The new version of Procreate Pocket is freakin’ transcendent. I know that’s just vague and hyperbolic, but I’m so happy about this app that it’s embarrassing. Must go art now.

this is the best although it needs a community like sketch does, do you think you could do that in a future update? also while im writing this the new update is downloading but i cant wait to try it its gonna feel so weird cause everything will be so new to me and i got used to the old one. but im happy theirs new brushes thank you im glad my mom bought me this app a few months ago :D

This newest update to Procreate Pocket is fantastic in my opinion. It has completely redesigned the app and made this iPhone version to be one hundred percent how I wished it was in the beginning. Finally the iPhone version of the app feels so much closer to the brilliant iPad app. I just want to thank Savage Interactive for all of the time and hard work no doubt put into making this version so much better and so much like the original version, I'm incredibly grateful for that. The new brushes are a joy to use, I can really tell that the painting engine has been updated, everything is so smooth, we actually have more canvas sizes, plus, you can create custom sizes finally and just everything about this massive update is absolutely awesome in my opinion. Plus, you can finally create custom brushes, which is so wonderful I think. And create custom brush groups and importing brushes is so much easier in my opinion. All of this is just like using the iPad version of Procreate but amazingly on my iPhone finally. Thank you so much Savage Interactive, I'm so grateful for all of this. I finally have a true and real painting app for my iPhone and, again, one that works properly on my iPhone 6 Plus. I just cannot tell you how excited I am about this new build. Thanks for giving this app the attention it needed and deserved and God bless.

You guys did amazing job with a new update. I am an Illustrator and I adore simplicity of this app...but when I was testing BETA version I was having problems with timelapse recording.

Besides that everything else is just fine.

I’ve tried many apps for editing and this is definitely the best I’ve used! Worth the money

If you got a hand disease but don't want to overcome it, do not buy it.Just give up the Graphic Art.Try FLStudio,I believe you can draw a straight line.There was an article on AppStore’s Today by editors .A designer with paralyzed arms is still doing digital arts only by his mouth. Nothing can stop you if you love drawing. The top 1 review is ... A lot of users said they can’t draw straight lines on Sketchbook as well when it clearly has shape tools and guilds.I don't know why designers are so focused on drawing straight lines.What about circulars. I can’t say this is better than sketchbook But the brush settings are easy to understand.

I think that the new mono line is really thick compared to the other “basic” line even at its thinnest. I think that a way to solve this would be to make it be able to go thinner again. Also I wish there was a way to turn off quick line as it gets really annoying when it deletes your previous line. Other than that the app is great

I’ve had this app for about 2 years now and it works really well! It’s easy and is one of the best art programs for a phone I’ve ever seen. Only thing I would change is the amount of swatches you can fill, but I just use a lot of color so they fill up quick.

Incredibly disappointed. The most recent update & removal of the “undo” button has made this app useless to me.

I just love this new update! Thank you so much. Procreate is just amazing and now my default sketch app & iPhone & iPad.

I love the newest update to Procreate! It’s great and I love the new brushes and tools you can use, I also love how easy it is to create palettes! One question I have is I noticed that there’s no option to export a video anymore. That was something I loved to do in the previous version, I liked how you could download a video of the process of your artwork! Is this option still in the latest version? If it is, please let me know. :) Oh and on that note, I would love it if you were able to choose how fast the videos are! The ones in the previous version went a bit too fast for me.

This was an amazing app I could do such intricate drawings if was careful and took the time. Now I can’t even use it, I’ll never be able to finish some of the art I started on this now.

I love this app. It’s very good to use for whatever you’d like, but unfortunately, I’m not so liking the new update. It’s kinda hard to use. I kinda liked the last one though. I hope this review was useful to you.

This is probably the most major update to this app, and it is great, except for one thing: light (white) theme. Please add the option to switch back to the dark theme. To me, the dark theme is easier on the eyes, looks cool, and feels professional. I suggest make the dark theme as default, but even if not, still add the option to switch between light and dark. Bonus if you can make the icon change with the theme using the “setAlternateIconName” function. By the way, the MaxCurve app does that. Thank you!

I've just started playing with 2.0 and it's blowing me away. Fast and smooth with updated tools. Much better UI. Love it!

I like this app so much and I would give it a 4.5 rating if I could... I have one problem with it... I’m not the biggest fan of white screens and would much rather have a black base screen. In my opinion the best way to accommodate white screeners and black screeners would be to just have a settings selection where you could turn on or off a night mode

When I first bought Procreate Pocket, I was disappointed with the narrow selection of tools and brushes that I could use, especially when compared to the iPad version. It was very limited, so I eventually started using it less and less. However, today, when I noticed that my app icon suddenly changed color, I went to go check it out and was absolutely awe-struck when I saw the new brushes, tools, and redesigned interface. Now the iPhone version finally lives up to the iPad version and I now have more potential and creativity to unveil in my drawings. To the team at Procreate, thank you so much for this. It is a lifesaving update.

Has the best UI and UX. Brush sizes, types and opacities are easy to change. Layers are present and easy to manage.

Update is IMPOSSIBLE to navigate !!! Can’t even figure anything out !!! TERRIBLE !!!

I absolutely love all the features added in the new update! It’s so much more like the ipad now and I can finally use it for more than just doodling! However, I absolutely hate the light theme. It’s hard to look at. For an extended period of time and the light light tones make it a little hard working with colors because they make everything seem so much darker, I’d love to see a dark theme option like the original colors or at least a mid grey.

The old version was so good please I hate this using the new version is so confusing

The new updates are just what the doctor ordered !! Like having the iPad version on my iPhone ! Excellent !

Great update. I want to specifically show appreciation that you updated the app with a major new revision and didn’t force an arbitrary “subscription” model which seems to be the trend these days. ProCreate is the gold standard for painting and drawing on iOS as far as I’m concerned (I have iPad Pro version as well.) 📱 🖊🖋🖌🖍

They did it—the update finally brings the iPad features to the app. It’s honestly amazing.

This is an impressive update from the Procreate folks. I liked it before but now that it’s nearly the same as the IPad version I LOVE it. The color goes on smooth even when using my big sausage fingers. And the slight pressure sensitivity is beautiful. Makes me wish there was an IPhone 8++ to work it on. Love having all of the brushes and customization available to me and the addition of the selection and transform tool is a dream come true. Thanks Savage. Like Metallica scratched into a high school desktop. You guys “RULZ”

This is what I expected when I bought this

This app is what I use to do all my drawings when I transfer it to paper to digital art. The new update tho is good because it has more brushes and options to draw and make my work better but I hate the undoing thing now you have to tap both fingers it’s easier just to have a undo button like they used to

Throw away all your paper, paints, charcoal, and colored pencils. This app is the real deal and is absolutely the best $3 I've ever spent. May 2018: This app is still my go to. I LOVE THE NEW DESIGN! Much needed!

Now works just like the iPad version. Thank you! I’ve been waiting very long for this!

I’ve been waiting for an update for what seems like a lifetime! I use procreate mostly on my iPad, but was always very disappointed with the iPhone version and it’s lack of pretty much everything. This update added just about every feature from the iPad version and it’s amazing! Very clean design, works smooth as butter, and is jam-packed with awesome features and brushes. Bravo!

I like the white!!!

It got so much better.

I rarely write reviews, but I just started playing with the Pocket 2 update, and I’m kind of freaking out over how great it is. Thank you to each person who put in the effort to make this. You guys have seriously outdone yourselves! It’s like Christmas in May! Between the upgraded file sizes, Wacom stylus compatibility (which is working BEAUTIFULLY), full set of brushes, and the new color picker, this has just skyrocketed my iPhone’s ability to be a useful sketching tool and a place where I can start work to finish later on my iPad. Go team Savage Interactive!!! ♥️

I don’t have a complete review yet, since it will take at least a week to see how everything is working, but this is a step in the right direction. Fingers crossed!🤞

This update is incredible! It now has several features that were only available to the iPad version. Bravo!!!

The new update brought professional tools and way better than before.

Ok I usually never leave feedback. I work with procreate regularly on my iPad, and the previous pocket version was useless to me. I have to say the update makes everything so much easier and now I really don’t mind do subtle work on my phone. Very nice work Procreate Team!

Great update but needs the option for light/ dark mode (UI).

Hello I am a... stylus user and I feel.. this update is very inconvenient to us... and also previous users who are used to tapping the corner to undo will now go back to the gallery... please put it back

The update took all the pleasure and ease out of using this app. It adds un-eraseable brushstrokes instead of erasing and does not undo them, ruining my work. FIX IT ASAP.

It was a pleasant surprise to see the Procreate Pocket app update today. Although I haven’t had a chance to really put it through its paces yet, the refreshed UI is beautiful and much more intuitive than it was before. Performance is snappy and I’ve been able to create some really cool sketches. Also, if you have an iPad and you’re not yet using Procreate on it, do yourself a favour and purchase it now. I enjoy painting and pen and ink work — it’s simply the best value on the AppStore and the closest thing to having a box full of art supplies in hand all the time. 🙂

Thank you for the huge update 👍✨ Now all the Features from Procreate in ipad Is in my iphone 😘

I have been using this since the early days of iPad version, which eventually when it came out the mobility and easy-to-access grew on me. So there it was: the best iPhone painting tool money can buy. And as the new update came out, it really was a huge surprise to probably all of the long time users of Procreate Pocket. They really have excelled them once again with brand new iOS 11 design language and tons of tools which I saw last time on the IPad version. Thank you guys so much for making such a powerful tool that got me into a road of creating arts, keep it up!

I love this app. It has been my go-to drawing app period, even over photoshop. But with this new update came some good things and some not so good things. The good stuff: It's very customizable now with all the new brush types and settings. It all seems very intuitive. The layers button now allows you to continue viewing your work and seems a lot less buggy. The adjustments section also enjoys those same improvements. Another amazing thing is that you can now customize your canvas size, which is HUGE! The not so good stuff: With all the new customization they do not have an option to return the size and opacity sliders to where they were situated before the update. It used to be one of the most attractive things about this program. The ability to seamlessly change brush size with a simple swipe of the left thumb and then to change opacity with that of the right is simply brilliant. With this new change, the opacity and size sliders are a lot smaller now (which is a downside) and they are located on the same side of the screen. This turns what used to be an incredible strength to a really REALLY awkward handicap. I used to use those to sliders very frequently, and now I don't, and the drawing aspect of the app seems a lot clunkier because of that. PLEASE FIX THIS. It may not seem like a big deal but it makes a world of a difference. Have an option to return to the old sliders. Thanks for all you do! PS: If there is an option to do this, then please make it more apparent because I was messing with the settings for hours and couldn't manage to do it.

I’ve been in the 2.0 beta and I’m totally loving it. Sounds like the public releases is just around the corner!

I ADORE Procreate-- at least the iPad version. It's almost everything one could want in a creative app with its latest update. I’d only recommend Pocket, if you’re in a pinch and need to do some simple sketching. Again, the iPad version is where this app really shines (and may explain why the Pocket version hasn’t seen an update in over two years). Procreate Pocket could use a little love and an upgrade -- if possible, I'd love to see some stylus support. But I’d rather know the iPad version is getting the resources it needs. I really purchased Pocket to further support the awesome development team!

Needs updating and to be more like the iPad version in my opinion. Hasn't seen an update in over a year. Sure feels like it's been abandoned.

MY REVIEW WOULD CHANGE DRASTICALLY IF YOU WOULD UPDATE YOUR APP. THIS SHOULD BE LIKE THE APP ON THE IPAD. INSTEAD IT IS A LIMITED AND CRASH FREQUENT HOLLOW SHELL OF THE FULL POTENTIAL THAT THE OTHER VERSION OF THIS APP IS. IT HAS NO SUPPORT FOR THE IPHONE X. PLEASE UPDATE TOUR APP AND ADD IN THE FEATURES FROM THE IPAD VERSON. JUST BECAUSE ITS ON AN IPHONE AND THE SCREEN IS STUPID SMALL DOESN'T MEAN WE WOULDN'T LIKE THE FULL RANGE.

Good app, but it’d be easier if you could choose from different canvas sizes and to be able to organize with folders so i don’t have to scroll for a million years to find a certain drawing.

So can I not download brushes ??

I genuinely enjoy this app however two main things are bothering me. 1. Quality of drawing: when zooming in everything is severely pixelated and just awful. Adobedraw does not do this, I know it is possible for this to be fixed. 2. Line size: It would be lovely if the size of the drawing pens could go a bit smaller. It is difficult to do thin line art by constantly erasing half of the lines to achieve a thinner and less noticeable line art. I do want to say this is a very fun app to use!! Thank you for making one of the only decent drawing apps available to iPhones.

While my iPad is out of service I decided to give the otherwise 5 Star drawing app PROcreate a go with my iPhone X. While I absolutely love the design, feel, and fluidity of the app on my iPad it’s lacking on the smaller counterpart. The lack of support for the iPhone X and loss of screen space to draw is a shame. Not to mention the absence of better hand commands. I’m not looking to draw a masterpiece here, but it’d be nice if there were some elements imported from your main app. Also app support added for those using iPhone X’s. Decent app still, but nothing compared to your full app.

Everything is kinda square, and when you want to move a small part, you move the whole layer. Boo

This would get a 5 star review but.... wish I can change the canvas size 😂. Other than that.... you should definitely get this app 😂. *you can change the canvas size in Procreate just not Procreate pocket*

I absolutely love this app. It’s limited in functionality compared to the ipad version, but the fact that I can draw and paint on the go with my phone is great. Most of the tools feel pretty natural. I think that for a 3$ price tag, it’s completely worth it. So far I have not experienced any major crashes or bugs.

I deleted this immediately. I wish I could get a refund. It simply wasn’t worth it.

Those who say this app is not good or give it a bad review, haven’t given it a chance or don’t know how to use its full potential if you ask me. This app is the perfect drawing app for any artist who actually has the time and patience to work on something. I learned how to use layering, texture, smoothing, and a lot more all by myself actually. The only thing I searched up was where to import new brush types and that’s all on the procreate website. I’ve made a good amount of things already and some were not outlines of drawing what I’ve drawn on actual paper. If you plan on drawing an outline of a picture you import, then I suggest you make using layers your bestfriend. This app works if you put the effort to work with it. The app is worth paying for even if it was $10.

I was trying to draw a zombie for fun. I draw it but glitches me out of the app. Then I go back and half of the picture is missing by this rectangular looking shape that’s permanent on the picture. I was very upset this happened and would appreciate if it was fixed.

This app hasn’t been updated in years which is sad since it could be the premiere iPhone app, just like its iPad version. However, it is missing a couple of important things, such as being able to CREATE CUSTOM CANVAS SIZES and adding MORE DEFAULT BRUSHES!! This isn't a lot to ask for, so hopefully these features can be added before the end of the decade.

I started using Procreate on my iPad Pro... what an incredible app! I hesitated briefly to spend additional $$ for Procreate Pocket especially after reading the negative comments. Glad I decided to buy. So, it’s certainly not a comparable drawing, painting experience on my iPhone. But then, how could it be. This is a fun way to urban sketch, paint anywhere I find myself hanging out for a few minutes. It’s feature rich for an iPhone drawing app and well worth the few dollars.

As much as I love this app I can only personally recommend this to be used with a supported iPad and stylus /Apple Pencil. Phones can’t do this program justice and it’s a shame

This app is alright but really starting to show it’s age. The iPad version has had all the developer’s attention and has gained so many improvements... Hopefully v2 isn’t far off.

You may see people reviewing this app with low star rating and a page of why they don’t like the app. Yes it is true that you may not be able to draw a straight line with the mobile app while you can on the iPad version. The mobile app does not have all the functions as the iPad version but it is still a very powerful app to be doing art on your phone. There’s a ton of creative ways to use this mobile app without being able to draw a perfect straight line. I’ve done many art works on the mobile and iPad versions and I’m very satisfied with it.

Look at the version history, the last new feature was adding 3D Touch for the iPhone 6S 2 years ago!!! This app is alright but really starting to show it’s age. The iPad version has had all the developer’s attention and has gained so many improvements... I really wish they’d just attempt to make it a universal app that scales down to iPhone screens and retire this Pocket edition.

I work at an relatively large marketing firm. A year ago, most of my colleagues were tethered to their laptops: photoshop and a tablet of some sort for any and all designs. That is until I showed them the IPad Pro and Procreate. Fast forward a year and nearly all of our design team, 20 or so, are using Procreate and IPads. Our clients like the art we give them, our bosses like the quality we put out, and the designers like the flexibility. Brush simulation, countless layer modes, and a software development team that simply knows what they’re doing. Take it from a pro, this is the real deal. PS If you read from some reviews that it takes forever to import brushes, know that there is a 2 minute workaround that has you importing hundreds of brushes instantly.

Does not work well with iPhone x. Horrible interface with notch. Have to turn the phone vertical to get the undo button and the tip size adjustment in hidden below the notch, near impossible to work with. Please fix

The app has to be optimized for iPhone X

Great app- not sure why other users are having such a bad experience. When you rate Procreate pocket, you have to do so in context- this is a drawing application for the phone. Its limitations are tied directly to the limitations of the phone, so it’s unfair to compare to an iPad, or a drawing tablet etc. I find this app perfect for what it seems to have been made for: drawing/painting on the go. Whether doing quick sketches or plain-air of something you see that insures you, or a thumbnail of a composition that you want to record for later exploration, this app is perfect. With phones that have force touch, the slight pressure sensitivity makes it even better! My only complaint is how long it’s been sine an update, as having more canvas space for my iPhone X would make this app even better

when procreate first came out in maybe 2013/2013, i bought it immediately on my ipad bc it looked like an awesome app to work with as an artist - and i was right. i don’t understand how anyone can dislike this app. the interface is amazing, it allows for so much adaptability, it has basically every feature that any competitors have but better. this is an essential for me and i’m so glad it exists!! thanks to procreate/savage interactive for allowing me so many years of creating amazing digital art!!!!

Literally just bought it and it’s amazing! It’s pretty different than the iPad version in terms of some minor functionality. Idk what people are expecting, it’s a POCKET VERSION. And for a huge majority of the drawing apps out there, this totally tops them all in terms of only being a “simplified version.” Also, if you know the short cuts from the pro version, it’s sooo nice to use and convenient. And yes, you NEED to look at the functionality of the app to know how to use it. It has many different opacity settings, brush thicknesses, and so much more. Honestly to the people who say that you can’t do anything with it, they haven’t used the iPad version. It’s purpose it for on the go art, on your phone...let that sink in

I don't know why people are putting this app down so much. It's great, easy to use, and in my opinion, professional quality. I've never drawn digitally but "Procreate" is helping me draw professional-looking art, and I couldn't be happier with it. Best birthday present I got by far!

Procreate in the iPad is epic. Some people get frustrated thinking it’s a sketching or design app. But that’s not where it shines. Procreate is more of a painting app than design app. (ie, no text or shape tools, but infinite paint and texture tools) Taking all of that and putting it on the iPhone is tough. But this pocket version is the best small screen painting app I’ve seen.

There is literally nothing showing besides the create a new canvas option and the color wheel. No tools, no undo, no anything. Waste of money. If I wanted a garbage app I would've went for something that didn't cost me money.

I’m not sure what others are complaining about- this app is amazing! I’m a beginner artist with a few years under my belt, and I use this app to outline and color my sketches. I LOVE Procreate! And I also love the fact that saving images(and speedpaints) is quick and easy! One request I have is to allow more space for swatches. I would love to be able to create more, and organize groups of them by folders(I use all 3 pages of swatches, and each page is for a certain character of mine so I make sure to never accidentally vary on the colors!)

doesnt work with the ipad, no idea why we can even download it on the ipad without a small pop up or something to let us know its not compatible

People complain about no redo and undo buttons,etc. Please read the manual of the app first for Christ sake. The only thing I am a bit of frustrated about is two finger pinch usually happened while I accidentally touch the area on the left where the brush controls lies, in which case would cause unable to pinch and draw a line that I don't want. Consider every one has different painting habbit, some one like to paint in landscape mode, some are not. I recommend in the future update, you guys can implement the DIY brush controls position, let the user put these brush controls where they would cause the least unexpected action for themselves. Or if you guys would solve it in some other ways, that's good too.

You may or may not like this app the app cancel does not work with that I think they should let you know that right off the bat. And I don’t think it’s as powerful as they say it is I would dare to say that the pictures in this app we’re done on procreate on an iPad not on the phone. Not as great as I thought it would be I thought it would be like my iPad but a small version I was wrong so if you think this is going to be that don’t buy it.

I recently bought this app and was really enjoying it until I realized there’s no button for me to erase my mistakes. I would love this game 100% more if it had the undo button.

It okay, but I cant find the push, pinch tools like on the ipad so im assuming there is none?

Here's the thing There is no undo or redo button Say you're drawing and you accidentally draw a line that wasn't supposed to be there and it's all over your drawing that you worked so hard on. There is no button to undo that line you accidentally drew, and so you have to erase that line and make sure it doesn't ruin your art. Since i draw a lot, it would be a lot more easier for me to draw because i don't have to worry about ruining my art because of that one line. If there IS an undo button, then i have no idea where it is. But other than that. Everything's great!

This app is a waste of your time and money, first of all, you can't even get decent sketches at all, images for the product are imported and are even close to being able to be made, waste of $3, I am wanting my money back.

This app is, overall, okay. However, I don’t want to spend $100 on an apple pen, and the stylus I already have doesn’t work with the app. Using my finger works, but I would prefer by a mile to use my stylus. In the future, could you make more brands of pen available to function with the app? In terms of use with the app, it works very well. Thank you!

It won’t let me save my work to a time lapse video? Help??

this app does not work what so ever !! i want my money back.

It’s not as good as the one on the iPad and I just want a refund on this cause I This is just useless to me I’m sorry for the harsh things I’m saying I just don’t like it sorry

5 stars. It’s amazing! Great for beginner artists, or just any artist in general. Love the variety of media’s and brushes! Although I wish the auto select would actually work right :(

I love this app it is so fun and awesome I love it so much.the only issue is that the outlinening is very hard. But everything else is amazing.thank you for inventing this app I love it . Procreate is much better but this is so awesome .

Bought this hoping it would be just as good as a free art app I use. You can’t even flip the canvas(witch is a major deal breaker in my mind.).

I get the random sense of the app . Would it be a bad idea to make it more real and unique from a stand point of choice . I mean, people engage in this beautiful structure for what is does . Sorry ! The editor choice is not writing with the reason this app is great . Poor reason can make it or break it !

This app is amazing I loaf it. It bakes my bread. It is very easy to understand and better than free apps. It is worth buying it. I recommend very much it’s the best drawing app ever!1!1!1

I have an iPad Pro and iPhone X both with their respective versions of procreate but I’ve noticed they do not support iCloud sync. I find this to be very odd that they have not already implemented the feature, seeing as how many other export and import options they support. I do enjoy the app very much overall otherwise, but would enjoy it even more so if the developers would so kindly introduce an iCloud sync &/or other file back up option for other services we may use.

I’m not sure what to feel towards Procreate Pocket. I’ve recently purchased the app on my iPhone in hopes that I would be able to use the same wonderful drawing app I know and love without having to carry around a huge iPad Pro wherever and whenever I want to draw, but I’m struggling to find any situation where I’ve ever felt comfortable using the application on the iPhone. I feel like I’ve had too high of an expectation from the iPad app to really see where the pocket version can shine but I cannot say that it would ever be a viable alternative to the iPad version let alone be some form of replacement. It’s lack of features that the iPad has like the extra drawing guides, liquify and quick shape are some of the biggest features that I would have really liked to have seen on Pocket, but sadly aren’t included as of making this review. I really want this app to succeed, but right now it’s simply unusable since I’m so used to the iPad version. I would also HIGHLY recommend some sort of cloud syncing if that isn’t already a feature so I can work on my projects across devices. Seeing as this isn’t an option right now from what I’ve seen, this is a huge b***** because It takes away one of the big reasons I wanted to purchase it in the first place.

I’ve been using this app for years and it has progressed so much! It is definitely worth the buy. Compared to other free apps Procreate is definitely better. The brushes are nice, canvas creation is quick and easy, and overall everything works well. There are a few things that can be improved, but overall I’m very happy.

@developer, can you put this app under productivity rather than entertainment category for screen time?

This was the best app i had ever used for drawing and painting until the last update. I would try to paint or draw and its not working. The canvas is there bt there is just no marks. I change brush size, color, everything else there is just nothing. I would easily give 5 stars if it starts working again.

the app is intuitive to use, powerful AF, and the included brushes are awesome.

So I use this app a lot to draw at random times when I don’t have my iPad around, and it’s pretty good, they have brushes and tools, etc. Just warning you, if you are looking to buy this app, buy the full version (for iPad) because it’s much better and just less condensed. For the pocket version, it isn’t obvious that you HAVE to use the two-finger tap to undo and use the three-finger tap to redo. Just saying. (A lot of things aren’t obvious, but I’m sure they’re there.)

It’s a good app but as someone who isn’t good with what to do for how big I want a canvas it’s confusing since there isn’t any pictures of how big the canvas is next to it so it’s confusing but the app is good if you want HD drawings you just have to make the numbers larger but that means you get to make less layers to draw on it good but could be better. The drawing tools are confusing nothing makes sense when I try to create a new pencil or just tool lol

I love this app, it’s helped me create some of my finest work. The only problem is that I can’t go back after I make a mistake and have to completely erase and redo it. If you could make a button like that it would be less nerve wracking. Thank you! Love it!

This app is nothing compared to the full version that is compatible with the iPad but is definitely good for sketching ideas on the go. If your looking for a cheaper alternative to the full version, you probably won’t find one that is truly as good as the full. Although if you are trying to create very precise, high quality digital art easy to create on a phone than you are either very, very hopeful or very, very, ignorant. I would definitely recommend the full version for more detailed work. But this app suites it’s easy to access and on the go purpose for me.

At first I thought I wasted my money on the app because I didn’t know how to use but I continued to play around with the app. I found out that double tapping the screen with t********** is used to undo things. I also found of the two circles on the side helps change the size of the bush and opacity.

So I just purchased this app thinking it would be cross platform on the 8plus and the iPad Pro. My mistake....so now I’ve wasted $5 purchasing it on my iPad...program is half the size of the screen even when expanded...and I would have to purchase again for the phone...🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

Procreate Pocket Is Great And All But I Feel Like You Should At least Add More Materials From The Original Procreate (Which Cost $10)It’s Great But You Need To Add More Brushes!If You Did I Would Rate It A 4.Anyways Thanks For Reading This And I Hope You At Least Consider Adding The Materials Some Day!

I purchased Procreate for iPhone after falling in love with the iPad app. Unfortunately the iPhone app falls way short of my expectations. - no way to edit my Procreate documents from my iPad. I can’t even view them! - no way to open pics and mark them up or draw. Have to open low res blank screen and import photo.

You can’t even draw without connecting to the paint tool, which is way to huge

Ok one when I accidentally exit out bc I made a mistake I go back into it and then wa la I can’t undo my mistake. I’m not happy with the way this app turned out... like I spent 4.99 on this and it’s not even good! Like I want my money back plz... I want my 4.99 back, it’s not even funny. Like I can’t even edit with this horrible app. It’s boring and makes me mad. I know some ppl like it but I HATE it. 🥴 I’m sorry but this just made my night miserable 😕. Plz can I at least get meh money back?? It WOULD make my day if I could get my money back... if not that’s just not cool... 😐 plz... I would like to spend my money on my games instead of this... Thank you for your time...

This app has all of the features you would need to make art. I create anime/chibi/realism and this app exceeds my expectations! I heard about it and this app is really cool!

Only complains are that you cant save your creations onto your photos and there isn't and dark mode option. Apart from that great app.

I love the app, it's really clean and easy to use. However, the fact that you only have two canvas sizes to work with is really frustrating, and I'd like to be able to edit brushes in the app.

I have no clue how to make anything HD so I draw and it just looks so bad and blurry :/

I honestly like the iPad version because I have a 6s and I used to have a 7 but it stopped working but it was extremely hard to draw on the phone even with my stylus. Luckily I’m going to add procreate to my new iPad and Apple Pencil when it gets here as a gift!

If you love to edit or retouch an Avatar/Sim, this app is perfect. You can easily add shadows and highlights onto your editorials. You can also export a time lapse of your process as well as an image. I do recommend renaming each layer as you edit. And a third layer just for additional retouches. I also recommend locking the background and the avatar down so that you won’t be able to move them once you start editing. This app is a great alternative to Photoshop. It has the same basic things that Photoshop has but you have to make it work for yourself.

Hiiii, I had just downloaded this app a few days ago and I really believe it’s worth the money. Now, I’m no expert here but, I just love how many tools there are and there is soooo many things you can do. Also, I love how easy and simple it is (in a good way) because most drawing apps I find are too confusing and complicated which I usually uninstall it after a few days. If you read this then keep on working hard you guys are doin great!!!! :)

This app has not been updated for over a year. Buggy on iOS 11, unsupported on iPhone X. iPad version is awesome tho. Shame the iPhone version was forgotten about.

I just bought the app, overall the app is okay, though some of the brushes feel “clunky” to work with when drawing with larger strokes. Also the user interface is not very friendly. For adjusting stokes and opacity the buttons are halfway tucked on the sides which makes it annoying to have to tap on and adjust the size/opacity. The arrow to go back to other canvasses on the upper left corner is small and it took me hours to figure out that was the arrow to return to the main view and not an arrow for “modify”. Also for a paid app, it should have more features and utilize onion layers (unless there is a way to do this, then it is not very clear).

Why even make it for the iPhone X? I paid for the app for my iPad Pro and loved it then bought it again for my iPhone X and my I pencil doesn’t work? What a waste. Please fix

I’ll try to make this short and sweet. This is NOT a coloring page app, for those who are mistaken. The people who write bad reviews don’t know how to use the app. This is the best art app I have ever seen for mobile devices. It’s underrated. There are so many different brushes and it has so many different features. I agree, it s***** before the update but now it’s absolutely amazing.

I have iPhone 8 Plus which is twice as fast as the iPad Pro. So why couldn't I get the all the professional grade features that iPad Pro have!? It not fair that I couldn't do many thing on my iPhone 8 Plus like my iPad Pro! 😡😡 I’ll give 5 stars for getting all the features from iPad to the iPhone!

I’m sorry to say that if you’re looking for a good drawing app, this is the wrong app. The way you draw lines is way too jarring and slow, while I was tracing an image, the lines do this weird thing where they automatically snap to something. Meaning you can’t do strokes and slowly have to draw every single line. The tool selection is missing some very important tools that would make drawing more easier and less time consuming than it is right now. There is no magic wand selection tool that allows you to automatically select blank areas that will not go through lines. And if you close the app to go back in, your selections will disappear, meaning you’ll have to select what you previously selected again. I had to trace carefully in the lines of my drawing just so I could start filling it with color, which brings me to the next problem: there is no paint bucket tool. If you wanted to quickly fill in large areas, too bad. You’ll have to go and modify a brush and make it huge, and then fill it in yourself. As for modifying brushes, it is a hassle to get the specific size you want by just using a slider alone. This would have benefitted if there was a feature that allowed you to type in the numbers so you can get the exact brush properties you want. As for the positives, the menus are very easy to navigate, and it is insanely easy to find what you need. Undoing and redoing is a snap, and being able to quickly change the size and opacity of the brush is nice. Otherwise I give this app only 2 stars. While it is very user friendly with its menus, it lacks some necessary tools in order to make drawing artwork faster, and easier. I suggest that you use this app for small artwork pieces, and loose drawings. It is not good for artwork on a larger scale.

Procreate Pocket is always the last to receive any updates and cool new features, waited half of a year just to get the consistent crashing fixed.

I have procreate on my iPad and I use that. I have used procreate for pretty much a while by now so I decided to get the pocket version of this app for my phone! I have a stylus for my phone so the app is just amazing. I can see that there are bad reviews for this app, but there’s nothing really wrong with this app for me. If you have ever experienced using procreate on your iPad before, this app may work for you as well because you will already know how to use this app!! Hopefully this review helps a lot!! uwu ✨

The program kept closing on its own and then would not open back up. The information was partially lost.

Many projects have been ruined because of not being able to undo.

My daughter accidentally bought this app while on my phone, so I figured i might as well use it since it’s paid for 🤦🏼‍♀️ Definitely a waste of 5 dollars.

This is a great cheap and entertaining app. Just please add symmetry.

It’s a amazing drawing app that is better than adobe sketch.

When I try to resize my ink pens and brushes it’s not changing. It still draws the same. The line is too small. Can you guys fix it please. How am I supposed to do my artwork if I can make my lines and things bigger. Plus my texture brushes are not even showing up when I draw on the screen

dear procreate creators, please add the time lapse/save video option back! i want to post time lapses of my art but i can’t now. can you bring it back on phones??

I love this app, I really do, and while the new update added a lot of great new features, everything became MUCH more confusing. For a while I was really upset bc I thought the speedpaint feature had been removed, when in reality it had just been moved to a different part of the app. PLEASE add a tutorial or something to let users know where everything is. In addition, I find the new double-tap and triple-tap for undo and redo respectively to be more a hassle than a convenience... the buttons were much more simple and straightforward... sometimes I accidentally undo and it takes me a while to understand exactly how many undos and redos I’ve done... PLEASE PLEASE put the buttons back in, or at least make it an option somewhere to decide whether you want double-tap and triple-tap or buttons... I think implementing the option would make a lot of people happier with the update.

I’ve been using this app on my old iPad and it was good, And when I decided to go pro and bought an iPad Pro I totally hated the app as it freezes and crashes every single minute. I was working on a painting for several days and nights, and when I exported the the time lapse video I was disappointed, it only captured the last 2 minutes since last crashing. Company said its apple hardware problem, apple said its not. So company is the responsible to fix this problem with apple. If any updates came with a fix, I will change my review.

Compared to the iPad app this is garbage. Usually you don’t have to purchase two separate apps either. I feel ripped off of my $5!

I like the app but I just wish there will be a fill in tool instead of needing to color in by myself, it would be easy and neat. And the undo and redo is kind of difficult because when I try to undo or redo I accidentally draw a point.

When I try to load a drawing with lots of layers, the app crashes. I really want to go back and tweak some of my old drawings, so if you could fix this, that would be great. Thank you so much!

The only thing I like about this app is the brushes as well as how you can download more. Other than that this app is super complicated to use. I’m constantly having to look things up “where is, how do I, etc.” It’s a hassle and takes up so much time. Also, when I use the selection tool it leaves a bunch of white space in between the selected area and the lines which makes it hard to fill in areas completely. Another thing is, I can’t even use this app to outline things because there is no pen stability and the end of the pen doesn’t point the same way as the beginning even though I’ll have both sides pointing at 100% (max) which is very odd. I hope you add more features and fix these things soon so I can’t start using what I paid for. :(

Think of it as a pocket sketch book. If you’re like me that sometimes drawings or ideas popup in the head and you have nothing to download it on to lol, then this is the perfect app to solve that issue. I recommend: Buy the Bamboo CS610PK stylus

the brushes are really nice, but i wish there were clipping layers.

Nice app but I need a straight line tool or a ruler to make straight lines. PLEASE ADD THIS.

Not sure what provoked me to buy this app for my phone but definitely regret the purchase. I prefer it on my iPad. 😕

Can you please fix screen size for iPhone X . Will be perfect then

Awful. You can’t draw clear anything and you can’t do a quarter of the things you are able to do on the iPad version.

I tried going to their site to import some brushes but the website doesn’t work, saying the page doesn’t exist. Very weird considering the link is offered through the app itself. Not many options for brushes so you’re stuck with basic lines.

When is there going to be an update for the iPhone X?

I don’t always have my iPad with me, but I do always have my phone! I use this to quickly scribble out ideas, then transfer the files to the iPad version for a full illustration. It’s a solid program and the creators do a great job at keeping both the iPhone and iPad versions updated.

No one in real life knows i’m a digital artist. After using several art apps, Procreate is the best one: colors, tools, adjustment, etc is exactly what I’m looking for. I’d recommend reading Procreate from iBook first (it’s free, woohoo). Otherwise, using this app alone would be frustrating.

As if Apple isn’t already in a breakneck trainwreck mode as it is, allowing apps with subpar performance (per REAL, ACTUAL reviews!) — and apps that aren’t maintained (no update to this app in over one year) — is another added layer to a blatantly horrid company that is anything but the “Steve Jobs Perfection” we pay for, expect, and deserve. Truly sad.

I’ve had this app for about a year or so and I love it! But it hasn’t had an update in a year. I would love to have all the feature the iPad version of Procreate has on the pocket version. Or at least update it once in a while with new features. Other than that i love this app!

Love the app, use the full version every day on my iPad. PLEASE update this to be Fullscreen on iPhone x, its no fun seeing black bars

I have an iPad Pro now, but before then I had a first version iPad Mini (that couldn’t run any later than iOS 9) and a stylus. I was very satisfied with this app, and honestly it’s worth the $2.99 if you’re not a really serious artist. I would say that (obviously) the original Procreate is better, but if you don’t have access to it, I would certainly recommend it. There are features that I wish it could do, but for a not so serious artist like me, it’s a phenomenal app. I would use it everyday and if you have the money, I would definitely give it a try.

I have a lot of projects in procreate on my iPad that I would like to be able to access on the pocket version on my iPhone. These projects don't sync across devices which makes the pocket version of procreate almost useless to me. Please add this functionality so that I can stop using Pixelmator.
