Procreate App Reviews

but it would be cool if you guys added clipping masks and made rotating selections easier

I was tentative about purchasing Procreate. I have been using Autodesk Sketchbook because it was free. I wondered how much better Procreate could really be. I finally bought it today. After just doodling for a couple minutes I understood the huge difference. Where Autodesk fights you when trying to accomplish simple things like erasing and resizing, Procreate is intuitive and natural. Just opt for Procreate, you’ll be glad you did.

I live on this app. I use it for literally EVERYTHING. I am celebrity cover artist, designer and animator and i love drawing all of my pieces on this app. It’s beyond amazing! I have one suggestion for a later update... how cool would it be to have a frame by frame animation app or section of the app! I think it would be wayyy more convient for all my animators in the world or for those who would love to get into it! I know i’d use it EVERYDAY! Just a suggestion... LOVE PROCREATE IG: @kidflvsh

It has more than I could ever want from a free app, it even has no adds. It is the best place for making amazing art and dank memes. Thank you Procreate

Some shapes and a ruler would be an amazing addition to a future update. (More so shapes)

I love this app although I was kind of disappointed to see it didn’t have a smudge tool. I still don’t know it that well and I may not be finding. Other than that 😍😍😍

I love this app. It’s powerful and flexible. The only feature missing the ability to search for specific canvas’. I have hundreds of canvas (clients) sorted by year because I will come back and add to the images over the course of months. It would save me lots of time scrolling. Thank you for a great product.

amazingly ammazing

I would give the app 5 stars in terms of the realness of media well using different tools. This app has been extremely helpful while in architecture school, the only problem I am having is that when I go to open a file it takes about 5 seconds before opening. This definitely adds up in time while switching between files is there any fix for this?

i like it oh yeah, you can draw on it, too

I live this app, best drawing and painting app . Great developers and great community. Worth every penny . The app is very fluid and not lagging what so ever. You can achieve crazy detailed work on here . Easy to use and very intuitive. With a their own procreate website for the community to interact and submit their work to share and have a portfolio on. And they keep improving the app performance and keep expanding it. For real , if you wanna get into digital art and have an ipad pro, it is worth it , works perfectly with the apple pencil. Or if you are a a spot where you wonder if its worth it even tho you are gonna be a beginner in digital art ...IT IS WORTH IT! DON’T HESITATE if you can afford an ipad pro and apple pencil. I wouldn't recommend the other ipad model tho because i haven't tried digital art on those yet. But i m 100% certain its better on the pro model to avoid getting any lag or input latency from the pencil .

What a disappointment. It won’t let me draw with my Apple Pencil even though my Apple Pencil works on other apps and I tried everything on the internet to try to make it work. Such a waste of $10. I want my money back.

I LOVE this app, but I just wish there was a section to have shapes already made available to insert on a canvas. Yes I know I can make custom brushes to do so, I just thought it was an industry standard for most design software.

Hey! Really enjoying this app so far, but I had one concern: when I try to go to change the name of a canvas, it brings up the rename prompt for a split second and then it disappears, so I’m completely unable to change the name. I’ll give a more thorough review once I’ve played with the app more. (:

Procreate is really cheap, I mean the quality is awesome. It’s kind of like a drawing tablet, but way cheaper. I also like the jokes in their updates, it’s beautiful. Anyway, it’s great and if you like to draw digitally, please get this.

I have never given digital art too much focus until I saw a review online on this app. I thought I should definitely try it since i was already getting an apple pencil. Let me tell you: it’s a great app. It reminds me a lot of photoshop but is very much more intuitive than photoshop. It handles transparency well and lets you export things directly to your cloud in batches. It also has a time lapse feature if you like posting things on youtube. My biggest problem is that there is no cropping of canvas sizes but dude, this app is great. I love the brush selection and the fact you can download more. Make sure you look at a video tutorial on how to use though, there are some features on it it doesn’t clearly explain at first like the bucket tool. (Just drag your selected color to the painting to fill that spot)

This is my go-to app. I’ve used it constantly ever since 2014. It’s my absolute favorite and I’m so happy with the updates—it just keeps getting better and better. I use a 2017 12.9” iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I also have Pocket Procreate on my 2017 iPhone X, and it’s equally comparable to the iPad version. I could go on and on about the UI and the fluidity and responsiveness and color space options and layer groups within groups and everything. I can’t express how awesome it is. I think I have only two major suggestions: the first being the ability to crop the canvas, and the second bringing back the ability to hold a color on a palette and physically “throw it away” by swiping it off the swatch. Also, it would be nice to use the reference layer without color “seeping” beneath the edge of the reference, if that makes sense, but that’s only a minor issue for me. Otherwise, I think this is the most amazing drawing app available, and a fierce competitor to other programs like Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai. Thanks developers!!!

Let me turn off the &#($(+ing undo gesture. SO ANNOYING

I absolutely love this app for drawing, and just have a few little ideas for future things I would like to see. The first is a better way to organize my drawings, maybe something like folders and in those folders I can make stacks and so on. That way I can make a folder for this year and when the new year starts I make a new one for the next year. That way I can see my progress easier between the years. Another thing is just a little idea of mine. I am dying to get a good animation app for my iPad. I was thinking that if an animation app was made exactly like this except with animation stuff, like the tools are all the same and the layout, just at the bottom you have the animation tools... anywho that’s just a little idea (it could and I think should be a competently different app you gotta use, but developed by you guys. I would LOVE that. Thank you for taking your time to read my review, I’m looking forward to new stuff!!

Could you all make the canvas board background have the ability to place a photo on it? I can’t stand laying a photo on the white board where I’m drawing and taking up space. Even though you can make it smaller and move it around, just wish it could go off to the side like in illustrator.

I’ve been using with the Apple is there any plans for tracings paper feature coming

I have been using Procreate for quite a while since I had my first setup via an iPad Air2 in conjunction with the Adonit Pixel, and I can say that Procreate is one of the most intuitive and powerful drawing apps that I have had the pleasure of using. Once I upgraded to an iPad Pro and Pencil setup, my Procreate experience improved by leaps and bounds. However, one thing has always puzzled me about why a very important feature has yet to be implemented. Considering that I have some pretty unsteady hands, some kind of stabilizer would be an absolute boon to this awesome app. The Pencil with Procreate is dead on and pixel perfect from what I can tell, but due to that, I struggle with getting my strokes to come out right without having to abuse the “undo” function and hope that I eventually pull off drawing a great line. With all of these updates and the great support team, I am confident that Procreate will eventually have a stabilizer feature just like most of their competitors. Until then, I will continue to use other apps alongside Procreate in order to overcome this slight difficulty. Should a s***** stabilizer be implemented, Procreate will be pretty much everything any artist would need to produce fantastic works with nice, clean lines. I am always looking forward to the next exciting release!

I’m a not a professional artist, so I haven’t used all of the features that this app provides. As a casual artist, I can say that all of the things that I have used have worked FLAWLESSLY! One of the features I really appreciate is the ability to use the app on the side of your current one (I know that this was Apple but I’m glad they integrated it.) A suggestion I have (and I’m sure other people have had this too) is a circle tool. Other than this, this is an amazing app. If you are looking for a Professional app or a casual one, this app does both perfectly and simply.

Was super hesitant to pay for this app since I RARELY get paid apps but this turned out to be perfect! As an artist/meme queen, I love mashing photos together and adding my own personal touch to photos. I just recently ended my subscription to photoshop because it’s too expensive. This app allowed me to do everything I needed to do to create the perfect birthday card for my boyfriend!!! It took a little while for me to get the hang of but there are tons of features to not only draw your own photos but to edit photos as well. Was super impressed!!!! I only wish there were some tutorials or guides available within the app.

I love it! But I just wish for y’all to add a ruler and paint bucket. That’s all 😊 otherwise it’s super great app but PLEASE ADD A PAINTBUCKET

I love it! But I just wish for y’all to add a ruler. That’s all 😊 otherwise it’s super great app ❤️

Best drawing program I’ve used overall. Super clean, visually appealing, and intuitive UI. Everything is lightning fast. Like seriously nothing in this program ever lags for me. It’s got Motion/Perspective/Guassian Blur. Liquify and Warp. Perspective and other guides with assist. It has recoloring/adjustment options. Masks, Alpha lock, and layer clippings. It’s pretty much has almost every feature that I could ever want. For me it’s only missing Text, Shape tool, and Crop(coming soon). That and an animation feature but I don’t expect it, it’d just be a dream like Clip Studio was lol. It’s easy to import and export things. I show my friends what I’m doing all the time. Brushes are great and easy to make. The ones you get are really nice. You can also make/download brushes quite easily. This program pairs very well with Dropbox since you can just drag and drop stuff. If there was one thing it needed would just be a floating color picker.

Can’t wait to dig into all the possibilities with his app. Incredibly sophisticated. Can’t believe it’s only 9.99!

This app is perfect for me, with all the different options and effects to add to my art. The only thing that I wish this app had is a shape drawing tool. The straight line tool is helpful, but it would be nice if there was a perfect circle tool or an ellipse tool. All in all, this app is amazing! Keep up the wonderful work!

I’ve been using Procreate to draw and I love it!!! It also works with editing. I’m able to animate with Procreate because of its ability to move things and layers. Honestly one of my favorite apps. Good job!

This app used to be great but now it limits you to only 13 layers.

I hardly do reviews much, unless the product I am reviewing is either really good, or really bad. That being said, Procreate is really good! The price is very low for a painting app, and while it is lacking a few features, they are adding stuff all the time. When buying the app, it’s best to think of it as an investment knowing that the rest of the features will be included with time. The brushes work great and have lots of customizability. If I don’t like a brush or I need a new one, I just make one. The Apple Pencil works wonders with the app as well. Procreate has been valuable for the past year or two that I have had it. I strongly recommend it to anyone of any skill.

THING EVER! No complaints at all. I use this app every single day. Love everything about it! Please just add an option to curve lines!

I am a multi time national award winning tattoo artist been in the profession 21 years have drawn as long as I can remember and brand new to the digital ... have tried every other medium so why not right? Got an iPad Pro just for this program and I gotta say I’m in love with it I haven’t been able to put it down! After a couple tips and tricks vids on YouTube to get familiar with how it works.... I’m hooked definitely an amazing program and experience

I've been using this for over a year, and I'm amazed!!! I'll never find an art app THIS great! If there was a greater word for great, I would say it!!! Anyways, I only have a minor problem or two. Recently, ProCreate has been, I would say, lagging. The game crashes every now and then, and after it crashes once, it crashes constantly after I enter the app, which causes me to shut down my device and turn it back on. Sometimes, it even leaves some squares, erasing my art, and I've been annoyed by this for a while. Please fix this, if possible. I have another problem. I've seen recent videos about the new updates of ProCreate, and I've been trying to test them out. Like, Alpha Lock. I've attempted it once or twice, but nothing's showing up. I thought that I have to update, but it says it's already been updated. I don't know if this is my device or if it's happening to others, but I just wanted to add that. Other than that, my whole ProCreate experience has been fun, and I hope for great updates in the future!

I love this app so much, and I use it every single day. I think a cool feature would be for you to be able to send your drawing to someone else with Procreate with a collaborative feature, so you and the other person can work on the project at the same time.

I bought this app even before I got a new iPad because I just KNEW it would be a game changer. I love it so much it makes no sense. It’s so responsive and the brushes work so flawlessly. I especially love the fact that it automatically records your work so you never have to think about it. This app has allowed me to never have to take my watercolor set to work and look at people sideways when they shake the table I happen to be working on. The addition of the symmetry options have now allowed me to really zen out and just create things without thinking. Thank you very much for such an amazing product that is so ridiculously affordable.

Hey there, This is not at all what I was looking for and downloaded by mistake. I can not find anywhere on how/if we can do a refund. Thanks -Tom

...how the Creative people behind the app describe their Path for the current and future release. It is commandable how the developers Fine-tune and Adjust their Workflow, carefully Layering one improvement on another to meet future demand. The careful Selection of future Features makes the app Colorful to use. I believe their Actions Help people Share what a great app this is. I will Pencil it in to keep an Eye out for the next big update!

As an artist I absolutely love Procreate! I’ve been drawing so much more often with how convenient it is and the program really has a lot to offer. I’d love if there was a way to stream my art to twitch or Picarto.tv? That would be great!

Add shape tools on Procreate

Brushes not as clean as sketchbook it got a pixel look 😩

A must have for all iPad users, artist or not. But there is one thing I would like to request: a blur tool. You already read my mind once with symmetry, I didn’t even have to ask! But a simple blur tool would be amazing, because Sometimes the Gaussian blur and soft brush tools just can’t do the job. Thank you if you acknowledge my request, maybe put it in the next big update?

The brushes remind me of photoshop and the interface is minimal and clean.You can even download and share brushes with others.The only problem I have is that there is no clipping layers or way to crop the canvas(like in photoshop),it makes my workflow a bit longer and harder than necessary. Being able to make my canvas smaller or larger while working would be a nice addition.But besides that I love it, its the best app I’ve used so far. Congrats too the developers for making such an amazing product and this app being the most popular among artists.

Almost as good as Microsoft paint

I don't generally write reviews but I've been using this app for almost a year now, and though it doesn't have all those qualities a computer might have this is pretty good. It's not the hard to use and allows me to do simple things that help everything. From being able to slide the size and opacity meter. To actually having a laso tool, and creating folders as well as your own canvas size. I also great enjoy the future of importing brushes people have made. I was able to get some good brushes to use. Overall 7 dollars for this app really grants a lot. I was also very surprised on how many layers I could open depending the size of that canvas. Overall it's really good. Edit: Okay with the brand new update, I absolutely love it. This app is honestly amazing, the only thing that bugs me or that could be improved is being able to pictures outside of the canvas. Meaning I would be able to bring in reference photos and place them outside of the canvas. That way my drawing won’t be interrupted. Aside from that, I’ve had this app for almost 2 years and I am still not even close to disappointed. :)

The app doesn't work with any iPads locked in at pre-iOS 10. For 10 bucks you guys could have at least kept the older one running as well.

I was using Sketch Book App for a while because Procreate wasn’t providing some tools that I need. Now that Procreate has update the app and add extra tools. All I got to say is GOOD BYE SKETCH BOOK!! Love new improvement of Procreate.. GOOD JOB DEVELOPERS! I’m extremely satisfied... Thank you

I adore this app! It’s my go-to program for digital art and has been for years. It features a multitude of easy-to-use tools and brushes, and it is a thousand times more user-friendly than something like Photoshop. It only takes a few minutes of tinkering to more or less get the hang of the user interface and tools. Definitely worth a buy. But I do have one qualm with the design - in a recent update, the folders were changed to a mechanic called ‘stacks’, just showing the most recent image, which makes it impossible to see what’s inside a folder just by looking at it (i.e. not tapping on it) - not to mention it’s horribly displeasing to the eye, in my opinion.

Hello, I just bought this app yesterday, but I want full refund.

So i love Procreate but the problem is that whenever I draw something I redo something and I press the reverse button sometimes when I press the reverse button and I finish when I go back to the drawing it’s all mixing pieces and I worked really h****** that drawing. I really hope you fix this problem!

This app is SO worth the money, and the only thing I draw with besides actual paper. Works best with an Apple Pencil or finger. But! I have three problems, though they aren’t big. 1. I can’t draw shapes, which I need because I want to make comics in the future, and also because I’m terrible at drawing circles lol 2. No text?! 3. I can’t keep things the same dimensions when resizing, and it’s really annoying. If these get fixed my review will go back to 5 stars.

Greetings! So far, using this app was a hugestep towards improvement, and im glad i did purchase it! All the various brushes and options, useful setups are all amazing! Just one sligt problem here, its kindof hard using the brushes without a suitable "pen stabilizer" option, I am aware of the streamline setting in the brush section, but it still doesnt help at all with drawing. All im asking here is maybe adding that in, probably in the upcoming updates? It would be a huge help!

The app was amazing till I just tried (many times) to write and draw within the app and my straight lines were glitchy,jumpy, and or unresponsive.

Hi i love procreate!!!! Its my favorite app to draw in!! But..... the problem is, it’s absolutely ridiculous for a layer limit!! And a layer limit is different depending on the canvas size!!??? I have chosen the A4 canvas (layer limit for A4 is 19 layers!!) and when i was coloring my art, THE LAYER LIMIT POPPED UP!!!! I was DEVASTATED!! I can’t continue my art because i have a layer limit!!! Also my second problem (not as severe but still a problem) is quality, no not the quality of the drawing (the quality is amazing!!) i mean the quality of the drawing when you select and move, it tends to get more blurry when you do... i hope you can fix this! (No... PLEASE FIX THIS)

I have improved my skills with this app using the apple pen is really good for the price if u are in to art, my only complain is the transform tool, when you re scale the peace it gets blurry, but besides that 9.5 out of 10 I JUST CAN’T STOP DRAWING!!!

this is a wonderful and incredibly powerful app. thank you guys for all your hard work and for making one of the best drawing programs available! the literal only thing i’d like to add is an option to import or purge time lapse video when you select a bunch of separate projects in the gallery.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the app, but I feel like you could add a couple things to make it much better. First of all, you should be able to insert shapes, like other drawing apps do. Second, can you please lemme insert a text box? I always have to go switching back and forth between apps trying to but text&shapes in my picture. Also, when you try to enlarge something (even the slightest bit), it makes that part of the image slightly blurry. I hate this because part of my drawing will be blurry and the other is clear. It’s extremely annoying.

I love this program, my hopes for further development are integration of lettering tools and shapes as a tool so brushes don’t have to be fussed with to provide them

Procreate is the best drawing app I have pushed so far! It is amazing with all of the brushes and colors to choose from. I have an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, so it integrates very well with my drawing style. I hope they keep improving and making Procreate better and better as a design and illustration app!

I’ve been using this app for years to make professional illustrations and artwork. It’s amazing with an Apple Pencil. It gets better with every update. Love it!

i think it would be easier to select things if the hand selection tool was more like a pen instead of just a line, sort of like paint tool sai.

I love the app, actually is my default one when it comes to create artwork. However lately I’ve been trying to go live with its features but it doesn’t work. I looks like is recording and everything but it doesn’t show on YouTube or record it at, all. Another issue is the timelapse tool I love it but I think it should have more options like at what speed you want the replay to be and stuff. Other than that is a cool app and highly recommended it just needs those nick picks fixed.

I just got a iPad Pro 12.9 and bought Procreate. I am making a transition from pc tablets back to screen tablets and getting used to it slowly. However I spot a few problems. The drawing guides once activated never leave even after you turn it off. It’ll be cool if the layers menu/brush menu drop down had a option to stay visible after opened and float around like a dock. Double tapping to undo slightly can lag and if you place your palms on the screen the pen strokes tend to disappear . However that’s just the few nuisances I came across but in general this is a super powerful app and with these little bugs fixed this would be 5 star

Love it, but I have some issues with the transform tool. It’s extremely frustrating, especially when I’m trying to rotate an object, as it’ll also change the size of the selected area at the same time, but if I turn on the “magnetic option” it’ll often mistake me trying to rotate the object as trying to move or resize it instead. Please, just do what MediBang does and put another little anchor above the selected area that you can touch and drag to rotate the object. Also, after transforming an object, please make it so it doesn’t ruin the selected areas pixel quality. And something I’m going to continue to ask for is clipping masks. This isn’t the same as layer masking and is an essential part of my work flow.

This is worth the money 100%. It beats every other art program I’ve ever used by a long shot. It’s a must have if you’re looking to improve your artistic skills. 👍🏻

This program allows me to take all the risks I was always afraid to take when everything was so perminate. Great job and keep evolving.

I love this app but g** I'd die for clipping layers. I just want to recollect my lines without it taking forever. I’m sure a lot of people agree especially since there are a TON of computer drawing programs that have this feature and it wouldn’t be hard to switch over 💅☕️🐸

Honestly, I’ve lost so much time having my work be deleted. Disappointing.

After the newest update I have lost numerous pieces, I am very disappointed.

Okay, so this app is great- it has a lot of features that I was looking for in a sketching app. However, being left-handed, it thinks my hand is another stroke, therefore erasing the s***** I was working on. It may just be me, but if you’re left-handed I wouldn’t recommend this. If you’re right-handed, GO AHEAD! It’s a cool app.

It is an amazing app and i love drawing with it but it doesnt let me zoom in or out sometimes,also whenever im moving a drawing with a tool it becomes blurry

That is all i have to say.

I was hoping to move to a 100% digital workflow for comic art, and Procreate has me about 99% there. Unfortunately there's no current anti-aliasing option, which means I can't quite get the crisp black linework and texturing that I could in Manga Studio and Medibang Paint (and I loathe the subscription model Clip Studio has adopted). I don't mind the lack of a text tool—I've always lettered in a vector-based app and plan to keep doing so—but the slight fuzzy halo I get when fine linework is aliased is a huge downer. Everything else, though, is exceptional. If Procreate added anti-aliasing to its brush options, it'd be perfect in every way.

I’ve had Procreate for at least 3 years now, and I’m absolutely blown away by the progress the devs have made in that time. I love the new abilities to warp/bloat! It’s seriously starting to size up to big software like Photoshop, crazy! As a student, I use this app for everything and am considering buying an iPad Pro for Procreate (among other reasons of course). Big thanks to the developers for making a awesome and innovative app that has played a genuinely sizable role of my school work. I hope the team continues to expand on features if possible. :)

I need a tool so a can pickup the colors already on my canvas unless you have that and I’m just not seeing it anywhere

ive been using it for 3 months & its easy & awsom

This app is great. There are many options for brushes, blending, and colors. I love the function of layers; however, they could improve. For instance, if the user draws something on layer two and tries to draw in the background in layer one— instead of being able to fully draw behind the layer two image, it effects it. Like putting a shadow over the layer two image; ruining the piece. But really other than that, I enjoy using this app.

2017 iPad Pro. As a professional tattoo artist I use this app daily. Works great and I’m very happy with it. Two things I’ve noticed could be fixed: sometimes it freezes for a few seconds, not a huge deal, but def a thing. Also, if I’m using my drawing hand to zoom/rotate/etc. the screen is sometime unresponsive if the Apple Pencil is too close to the screen. Love the app though.

pretty s***** for a drawing app

I love this app but without the iPad Pro and the pencil it is the same as any other free drawing app. I think you should change some features for people who don’t have these items, for example, the caligraphy brushes don’t look the same if you’re using just your finger, neither do the pencil brushes or any of them in general. They don’t have that effect when you press lightly or h****** the iPad and I think that is the whole point of the app. Please change that so that users using just their fingers can have the same experience as the ones who do have the pencil.

Yeah that’s all.

I don't know if others have this problem, but whenever I try to make a clipping mask on top of a layer, whatever color I try to change it to, the color will change to white. I cannot change to a different color and I don't want to lose all my artworks if I delete the app and redownload.

It would be cool if you could add a selection tool, where you can select something then color it after and a gradient tool would be cool

Please fix the random crashing. I’m crashing wen I open the canvas and i have no idea why. ;-; Any help or advice would be helpful.

I love this app. I can do really cool art in the fraction of the time it would take me to do on paint - and you can undo your mistakes. :) one thing I REALLY wish you could do is import abr brushes. The way I have copied over several hundred brushes is THE most time consuming, tedious process. I’m also having a hard time recreating brush characteristics on some of them. Since there is 9k people following the thread in the forum, it seems there is interest. And it would be cool if you could stamp in more than one color. But this has to be my favorite app ever!

I’d highly recommend this app for digital artists, recently I’ve started to get into digital painting, and this app is perfect for it! I’ve tried other apps like ibis and medibang, but they aren’t as efficient, and ibis is clearly not meant for it. The transition was easy, and I love being able to utilize the fact that this is an app and not a desktop download. At first I was hesitant because of it costing money, but I love this app, and it is so cheap for how amazing it is. My complaints? I don’t have any about current features, and the things I’m saying aren’t complaints, they’re just things that would be more convenient. This app doesn’t seem like it’s made for comic making, but it would be great if there was some tools for being able to make them. I’m able to, but I have to switch between ibis (has a text tool, I haven’t seen one on here yet) and Procreate so that I don’t have to be frustrated with my handwriting. It would also be nice to have “stroke outer” and “glow outer” filters, it would be more convenient for my stylized art, and some effects look better with “glow outer” and/or “glow inner” filters applied to them. But these are definitely not necessary features, they would just make things easier and take away the step of taking the file to ibis to apply said filters. Basically, I love this app, and I would recommend it to any digital artists on iOS.

Would love to see a CMYK mode if possible 😍

I tried a couple drawing apps compatible with my iPad and apple pen, and this was stood out from the others with all of the options for layers and brush techniques. I think it’s simple enough for art hobbyists like myself, while being as equally useful for professional artists interested in a digital canvas.

I’m a professional storyboard artist / illustrator for film and television. I use Procreate to produce all of my artwork. Projects I’ve use Procreate on include: Slender Man Sicario 2 The House with a Clock in its Wall Star Trek: Discovery Alita: Battle Angel Phantom Tollbooth King Killer: The Name of the Wind Godless The Cloverfield Paradox ... If you’re an artist, this is why you have an iPad.

This app is amazing but I would think to add more options for the time lapse. For me it just goes to fast and I think there should be an option to put how fast it should go.

I love the app and I love drawing on it , however when the streaming set up was a thing , I attempted to try it multiple times but every time attempted it it always shut off the stream. I’m not sure what the issue was as it was still allowing me to draw, but not even a full Minute in it would cut off with out any say.

I’ve been enjoying this program so far but there are a couple glitches that are making it EXTREMELY frustrating to work with. First of all, I tried using the perspective guide, and now it won’t turn off. At all. I flip the switch but it won’t let me draw outside the guide. I’ve restarted the program and my system but NOTHING has fixed it. It’s impossible to work on that file now. Also, whenever you move a selection, the lines become very blurry. It doesn’t matter if you shrink, grow, or rotate the selection, everything becomes blurry anyway. Other iPad programs do not do this so I don’t know why procreate has this problem. My program right now is literally unusable from the first problem, so if you could fix that ASAP I’d appreciate it.

:(

I love this app but I would like to see more gesture options, such as maybe double tapping to undo or single tap for redo just some more customizable gestures just to make it easier for some of us. Other than that it’s incredible

i use this thing to make practically of all my digital drawings since i use my ipad so much all it needs is a text tool... please..... i beg of you

1. No basic shape tool. If you want a perfect circle you have to “download brushes”??? 2.No gradient tool also something you have find on the internet and hope to good it’s what you were looking for 3. The perspective guide is nice until you realize you can’t actually adjust the distance the vanishing point is from you. I love this app but I just keep running into things that really disrupt my work flow. Try drawing a rectangle with rounded corners in perspective without jumping through all the downloading hoops. You will rip hairs out.

It’s great. I love to draw. But I would like to see a animation feature. I know it is a lot of work for the 13 developers, but please add it, or. I just ever found out about it. Other than that I love it

This is all around a great app, I like the minimalist feel and the large amount of customization/brushes, 5 Stars

THIS APP IS THE BEST ITS SO HIGH QUALITY AND ITS SO EASY TO DRAW!💜 When I was was using an app for free it s***** but once I got this oof its was amazing.

I bought the app and I absolutely love the quality and versatility of the tools. I love how I able to edit my artwork as if they are photographs and having the options to share it with other editing programs. However, using the eye dropper tool is very odd and I think having to go back and forth on hitting the square tool between the brush adjustments prolongs the process of creating work. The eye dropper tool is an essential component to digital art especially when trying to recreate the same colors. I think, it would be easier if there was option added where we are able to use the eye dropper as we hold the pencil on the color with our stylus/Apple Pencil rather than going back and forth would be easier. Also, a swipe with t********** option to delete mistakes would be a great add as well since the undo/redo option are always used. Making it easier for artists allows it be user-friendly and brings in a whole to element to creating.

I’ve used many different drawing apps and the like across many different tablets and such and this app is still the best in terms of approachability and customization. I’d like to thank the developers who constantly update the app to make it better and feature rich for those who have purchased it and for those maybe looking to check it out. I’m constantly trying to become better at figure drawing and just drawing out of my head in general, and this app with it’s ease of use doesn’t make that pursuit a chore of loading and difficult to understand hud. Thank you again developers, this app is wonderful and I hope more people get into drawing though it’s many options.

I have used a very wide variety of artist apps on many different platforms and I think NONE of them compare to this power-crazy application for the iPad. Most other mobile friendly apps combined still can’t do what ProCreate does. I started with ProCreate on my iPad Mini 1st gen and my finger. I blamed the iPad for ProCreate crashing EVERYTIME I had 3+ layers. No matter the canvas size. And I did NOT realize there were textured brushes back then- 3-4 years ago- so I was doing all of that myself. But now I have upgraded to an iPad Pro & Apple Pencil and am fully aware of the app’s secrets & am keeping up with update changes and I absolutely love it!! If I had custom ordered an application, I don’t believe I could’ve made it this sharp. ProCreate is the one and only app for illustration that you will need! It’s simple to learn, has a few buttons instead of trillions, and everything is labeled and- my personal favorite part- SUPER easy to undo with just a quick tap of the finger!!

Yo love this app like a lot but my earth brushes that I purchased are gone

This app is perfect for all digital artists, and this app gives you a free time lapse of the drawing process for you! But if you don’t want this feature, you can make it so it doesn’t record it. Other reviews give more info so read those too. My only complaint is that there is no fill tool, but other than that, I think this app is wonderful and I deeply recommend it.

Just love using it when I’m to lazy to install my drawing tablet and sit in a chairs for hours.

I love stretching on this app but I some times use it for stop motion like artworks and the problem being is that all of the type of move tools always resize the layer making the animation look a bit choppy I simply ask for some type of way to relive this without taking away what is already perfectly made with this app

I enjoy drawing with this app everyday. I can’t say more than I love it and enjoy using it!!!

This app is SO worth the money, and the only thing I draw with besides actual paper. Works best with an Apple Pencil or a 3rd party stylus with glove. But! I have three problems, though they aren’t big. 1. I can’t draw shapes, which I need because I want to make comics in the future, and also because I’m terrible at drawing circles lol 2. No text?! 3. I can’t keep things the same dimensions when resizing, and it’s really annoying. If these get fixed my review will go back to 5 stars.

Okay so, this app is a great app! But, you peeps need to add a text feature. Cause, for one of my edits, Really needs to have that, and I hate having to wright it all down.

Things were working perfectly until recently. There are areas that are acting buggy. The slider to adjust the sizes of the brush aren’t smooth anymore; the numbers are delayed, getting stuck, and jumping around as I’m trying to adjust. I don’t know what happen. There are also other little noticeable things that aren’t working as they just were a few days ago. That one is most annoying.

I’ve been using Procreate for a while now and I love it! However I have noticed a few things that have been bugging me so I thought I’d write about it. First off: minor bugs. Sometimes when I’m drawing I’ll select part of a picture or just try to move my canvas and it starts getting all weird? Like choppy almost. It’s pretty annoying but I think it’s just a small bug. Another thing: Sensitivity? Sometimes I try to color part of a picture and for some reason the app will undo the last s***** I did? I’m not sure why buts it’s pretty annoying. :-/ But besides those, the app is awesome and I highly recommend using Procreate!

Procreate is great for keeping a gallery as you practice drawing to see progress you’ve made. I look back and (while I still don’t think I’m great) see that I’ve become so much better. However, I have a few questions. First, will geometric tools or mirroring be introduced, because that would help with drawing my cartoonish style of faces (and I imagine other stuff too). Second, will the Procreate team ever tackle animation? I know you all stated to me in my previous 4 star review that animation wasn’t even on the plan for this app and will most likely never be. But will anything ever be done? Are there plans, or even just ideas? Because using the iPad is the only way I have available to draw (besides pencil+paper) and I spire to animate. Thanks, also great app. And funny update notes.

I love Procreate and it is wonderful for beginning and advanced artist. My only issue is when you move a layer it leaves a couple pixels from where the layer previously was, almost like an outline. It makes moving and forming layers messy. Is there a fix for this? You guys are fantastic. Good to see a strong support team. Love the work guys

It’s an amazing art app, it’s just that this one thing bugs me, THE TECHNICAL PEN! Whenever I add streamline to the pen, it just doesn’t show up! When I draw with the pen with no streamline, it appears! I don’t know why it happens,but I really like using the technical pen so if you could fix this that would be! <3 awesome app overall though. (I realized I meant to do this on procreate pocket, fix this on procreate pocket please, nothing is wrong with original procreate, sorry)

This app, its wonderful, but there seems to be a few things missing, maybe I’m just not finding it but there seems to be no stabilizer. Almost all other drawing systems have one and i was disappointed to see that this one does not, which makes getting a perfect line much much harder. Maybe I’m just missing it but if its not there adding it would be super beneficial. Also, you cant draw shapes, or fill in specific areas. Other than those small issues I love this app. Thanks!

Is it rocket science to make a straight line tool? This is the only thing that I dislike about Procreate.

This app is not intuitive in the least. I have spent the last 5 minutes just trying to figure out how to draw a basic line. Frustrating.

Confusing at first for a beginner in digital art. But I’ve gotten more used to it and love it! One thing I’ve had an issue with recently is that my opacity and pressure seem to be glitching randomly when I draw. It’s gotten pretty irritating now as it makes my marking more blotchy… not quite sure if this is a glitch in the app or what. But my other drawing apps have been fine with pressure and opacity. I think this glitch just randomly came up in the app for me. And whenever it comes it lasts for a few seconds or minutes. I usually have to mess around with brushes until the pressure I have it set to comes back. Really odd glitch. Is anyone else having this issue?

Great app, very smooth running, would like to see more brushes added, also some more photoshop styled editing, overall it’s a great app and can’t wait to see where it’s taken with future updates.

I’m experiencing a glitch when I accidentally undo a line or stroke, I can’t redo it. It just recently happened,

This app is incredibly versatile in so many ways. Just read the creators story behind the app and it’s development. Got a little teary eyed not gonna lie. Congrats to the creator and his efforts. Been and am in a tough spot in my life, and to see someone who was once there and now has created something for others to express themselves, was very touching. I say thank you for this amazing app and will continue to spread the good word about it to others. Thank you for your inspiring journey, in a time where others may feel stuck like there’s no way out. God bless and may you continue to be prosperous!

Where are the buttons? I updated and now when I’m in freeform select there are no longer undo/redo buttons... I use select tool a lot so this is very inconvenient...

These layer are stupid, they might be easy to use if you are used to it, but for me, I got to the app to have fun and draw. I can’t even draw cause the layers are s***** and won’t let. It’s super confusing and annoying. Everything about the app is cool but it seems very advanced and hard to understand at first. Maybe it’s just me but the app is confusing and takes time to learn.

I love the sleek interface of procreate and some of the tools are better thought out here than on any other art app I’ve found. If they would just add text, shapes, and clipping masks I’d be able to drop my subscription to clip studio paint ex and save myself 9 bucks a month.

I paid for this app a few years ago now I can't redownload it! Because my iPad is not compatible, how rude! Why can't I just download the old version ?!? Ridiculous

Nunca había dejado un review, pero literalmente tuve que parar lo que estaba dibujando para decirles que invertir en un iPad y esta app es de las mejores decisiones que he tomado en la vida. No he abierto photoshop ni usado mi computadora en un mes, y me gano la vida ilustrando.

I love this app. I can do really cool art in the fraction of the time it would take me to do on paint - and you can undo your mistakes. :) one thing I REALLY wish you could do is import photoshop brushes. The way I have copied over several hundred brushes is THE most time consuming, tedious process. And it would be cool if you could stamp in more than one color. But this has to be my favorite app ever!

PLEASE ADD SYMMETRY TOOLS!

10/10 would recommend. I love Procreate and will always use Procreate. I've been using it for almost 2 years now daily and I have learned Procreate inside and out. However I'm still finding new things to do with Procreate. My imagination can run wild with Procreate.

This has become and is simply the best art app on iPad. And now that it has warp and liquify, it has practically everything.

1. Add the function to change UI language in the app. I have to change the system language in order to do that. 2. Can we have dedicated folder in iCloud? Because I’m not really sure how the iCloud function works right now.

Others don’t even come close. The interface is so good and the brushes are the best imo (with the Apple Pencil anyway- haven’t tried others). I wish the resolution could be higher, but I think that’s more of an iPad problem. I also wish it had an align tool, but I also kind of appreciate that it’s not photoshop and emphasizes actual drawing over other functions. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about no clipping mask etc, but that’s not what this app is.

The way I have copied over several hundred brushes is THE most time consuming, tedious process. And it would be cool the stamps if there was a way that you could preselect different colors. Maybe have like a test area where you could edit the colors and then stamp it, so you could stamp with multi colors. But this is the best art app I’ve come across!

To devs: when deleting a lot of art at once several selected are always not deleted

I love this app, it lets you do some serious drawing but.... it really needs a RULER! Love the update, I can delete of some apps on iPad in replace of this app but again, needs a RULER! A lot of the lettering I do needs to be measured to fit into tiny spaces and a ruler could solve a lot of rewriting and measuring in other apps.

I have to hand it to you this has to be the best art program you can get on mobile for only a few bucks. I just love all the brushes this program provides us. Some tools are hard for me to use but besides that this is worth the money! :D

I love this app’s features and it allows me to make awesome stuff. One problem I have with the update is that when I use the select tool, it won’t let me undo, so I have to select the area perfectly or else I have to clear and start all over. I hope this can be fixed. Other than that, I love everything else! This app is obviously the best drawing program for the IPad Pro.

I love this app, but the latest update has been buggy for my iPad. There’s a lot of things that seem to be working differently and just is making it more frustrating to use. One example is the color picker tool on the left side has been not working or responding. Also the brush tool selector will get stuck showing me what brush I have selected and it just blocks my art board. The only way to make it go away is to force quick the app and come back into it. I hope this gets fixed.

Can you please fix it.

This app is great, Customisable, and has so many ways to create your masterpiece! only one thing After the update the brush size no longer shows up, which means I have to guess the brush size I used for something like line art. It’s kinda annoying but apart for that I recommend it!

Ok, before I had a tablet and I was on an actual Windows Computer (*gasp* I know! Right!?) my art program was PaintShopPro! I LOVED that program!! If it were a vinyl record, the grooves would have worn down! I used it that much! I was grief stricken to find that I couldn’t use it on my tablet. Several weeks ago, I was watching YouTube art videos and came across this little gem. I just HAD to have it! I’m so glad I came across it! I have several other art programs, but they just weren’t the same as my PSP. ProCreate is SO much like my PSP! Of course there are still quite a few differences, buts ok! I’m in love with ProCreate! The interface is beautiful, very user friendly! There are all these little gems to discover in it! I suggest watching YouTube tutorials to get the full effect of what this program can do. Learning tips will also help you along whenever you become confused or frustrated on how to use a particular tool. My only grievance is that I accidentally deleted a default brush folder name and I just can’t figure how to change it back 😳 I can change the names on folders I create, but not the program default one. Even though ProCreate is geared towards iPad Pro and MAC computers, it works quite well on my iPad Air 2. Oh yes, I love the humor of the developers! 😂

hello, i am enjoying drawing with procreate immensely. so overall, great job. but since the new big update, i am unable to drag and reorder my layers with the apple pencil. i also have issues renaming layers, the keyboard not appearing. please fix!!

the app had a recent update that added great functionality and features and I love it! Still hoping for a ruler someday, but I’m very happy with the app (especially since I can use the grouping layers feature again!) The team also is very helpful. Thank you so much guys!

Since the updates before this one when you are selecting for example just one part to add the colors, you can’t go back if you select more than you wanted. Now it just shows : add, remove, invert, duplicate or clear selection. I use the selection tool every time and now it is hard for me to paint the part I only want. I really wish that you bring the back button (<— or —>) back when selecting.

So far this is the best app for creating enormous arts, easy and enjoyable. I love it!!! There’s no other time that I enjoy the most than I’m drawing in Procreate. This app is a masterpiece!

i absolutely love Procreate! i’ve been using it for about...3 years now? and i love it! there so many helpful tools to choose from, and so many brushes for different effects. one thing i would love to see in the program, is layer clipping. its in tins of other art programs, and i’ve been more accustomed to using clipping. now i did figure out a way to have something like clipping, but it’s still not the same. possibly you guys who work so h****** this app could possibly add clipping? thanks! keep up the amazing work!

Transformed my artwork into professional artwork

I would love to use this app for calligraphy, but the Apple Pencil does not work with my iPad model. I have an IPad Air 2. What other styluses do you recommend?

When reading the new update, what do you meant that my tool will not run out of battery when I’m s******* the last screw? Does that mean that the app Procreate won’t eat my battery so fast? I also noticed some issue in response time when changing the size of my brush tool. Thank you and I hope to hear from you

Procreate is my go to drawing app on the iPad. With this and the Affinity apps I rarely use my iMac. This is in the top apps for a reason. Drawing is smooth and their are numerous tool options to use. It sticks to drawing and painting without going overboard on extras.

Please make it possible to make folders to put stacks of art into!!!

I don’t normally leave reviews for apps but this isn’t just the best drawing app for iPad, it’s the best drawing app PERIOD. using photoshop to draw on my PC feels PAINFUL now

Because I’ve used Photoshop for many years to restore and retouch images. I opted for Art Studio Pro for more art, drawing, painting projects because the interface was familiar. Procreate is superior for my needs. With Procreate I need not worry about my hands sneaking in brush strokes when I’m not paying attention. With Procreate my concentration isn’t interrupted while I wait for it to save the file I’m working on. I have no idea how it can save continually without ever interrupting me. I love this App with the Apple Pencil.

Procreate used to be so much harder to use because of the janky gesture controls and lack of guides. This update is good and dose good things. Edit: I said used too, as in it doesn’t anymore sorry for confusion if there was any

I’m not a professional artist, but I use this software all the time to create mock-ups to send to illustrators for my books. It is great and gets better all the time.

Please please PLEASE improve this app’s folder in the Files app. I don’t want to import a new copy every time. If opening and storing files could work as easily as MediBang, Artstudio Pro and Microsoft Word (natively open the file from Files app rather than importing a new copy every time) that would be great! Please improve Files app integration. Thank you!!

Stunningly great app. I’m a former design professor and have used Adobe, Corel and the rest since the early 1990s and this is really a leap forward. Very fast and fun, especially with the Apple Pencil. There are instructions and even a free ebook on the developer’s site. Highly recommended for artists - or just declare yourself one and draw something or trace a photo. Great work, Procreate team.

After the last update the app started to crash every time I touched the settings icon in the upper left. It goes to black screen and drops to the home screen.

I love this app! but the the thing i really wished it had was like clipping groups/masks. I know that there is probably a way to do it, but looking through your handbook takes a long time, and videos on YouTube don’t help much. What I’m mostly saying is, please make Procreate a bit easier to use.

This app is perfect for drawing. It makes it like your drawing right on paper. Works great with my stylus(not Apple Pencil).

Fantastic app with RIDICULOUS oversights. Lovely how I leave a current piece to grab something from another, and now all the 250 steps you brag so much about are gone and I’ve wasted hours of my life. Pretty sure the quality assurance team is a bunch of dogs licking a keyboard covered in peanut butter

What happen to my fav drawing app? In the beginning after watching a couple of review videos about Procreate, I decided to buy it. I enjoy drawing cartoons & Procreate gave me a chance to see if I could change from traditional art to digital. I was amazed. Many of my friends noticed how greatly my art improved so quickly in Procreate. Procreate worked like a dream. Most of the time I use a stylist, but if I half to, Procreate works so smoothly that I could even use my finger if I had too.(On a personal note Procreate worked so smoothly it made me wish the creators of this app would make a special effect app like this since I would like to venture into filmmaking. ) Only what the heck happened? This morning I open up Procreate & I had used it last night. Except now when I drew the lines didn’t appear. They wouldn’t appear until after I stop drawing! My art didn’t come out as nice as it once did. Now I half to eye ball it. Farther more when I draw a line, if I hold it to long it becomes straight. I had enjoyed that feature when I could see it, but it is a bit annoying when you don’t se it change into a straight line as you draw. I didn’t do anything different when I opened up the app. Please look into this. I hope these changes can be fixed. Thank you to who anybody who reads this & to who anybody does reads this, am I the only one having these problems with Procreate? I want to add I have been playing around with this new version of Procreate. I found brushes I can use the way I did before so I do not feel as lost as I did & I am really enjoying these new added effects. So please keep these changes. I can deal with it now. Please understand sometimes it takes awhile for me to accept change. Procreate is still one of my fav drawing apps.

There was this app called paper53 and it was a fun socializing art app. Then they took mix off of there app and everyone was upset because you got to recreate artwork on mix or Evan collaborate and subscribe to there account. If you guys did mix on Procreate I bet this will become the best art app out of all the other ones on the store. I mean it already is but that would bake it even more cool and fun. You should add mix to your next update. If you go on paper53 app website you’ll see what I mean. Paper53 removed mix a long time ago.

They added some great new tools this update. Warp is super important, and they also added line guides and symmetry.

And I say WAS, because it added several new things that weren’t there before and makes the possibility of working with this app all the better, while it changed some things in minor ways, and those minor changes aren’t my particular cup of tea. The brush size, and opacity sliders for example, I used to be able to tap in the general area of the sliders and move them up and down to adjust, whereas now I have to be a little accurate with my touches, and the color works a little differently now too, but that’s not my purpose for writing this review and giving it the rating I’ve given it. I updated the app when the update came out, and I finished one artwork with the app, and then when I went to start a new artwork, none of the strokes I were making showed up until I lifted my stylus from the screen. This is a pretty major flaw in my eyes, and makes the app pretty much unusable for me. Edit: Upon furthering messing with the app, I discovered that it’s the streamline that hasn’t been working since the update. I’ll edit this review again when the problem is fixed, or I find a solution. Edit 2: I updated my review because changing the “Brush Rendering” from “Glazed” to “Normal” under “Dynamics” completely fixes the Streamline glitch and allows the streamline to work correctly

I have been using this application for a very long time now and have absolutely loved it. However, with the recent update, I have been experiencing brush lag; the brush no longer fluidly follows my finger and instead the s***** I have made will not show up until I have taken my finger off the screen. I hope this is resolved soon, as I have not been able to find any solutions through fiddling or forums. Other than that, this is a very useful app for making professional pieces!

I really love drawing and I always wanted to impress my freinds, until I found this app, I like it but so hard doing all the cool shading and other cool things, plus I’m kinda good at drawing, maybe u could help me with the amazing effects, thx

I really like this app I use it all the time, but after this last update it has been acting really strange. The quality of the image has gone down. I was just on a piece I had worked on before and know instead of it being crisp like it was it was very grainy. Also would like a way to select all the layers at once. I tried selecting a color and it would give me a totally different color. Also it would freeze and exit out. Like I said in the beginning I really do like this app I use all the time, so hope you can fix this so I can enjoy using it again.

It takes a lot of time to understand all of the tools not to mention how it’s missing key tool like the paint bucket tool instead you have to color each and ever thing you draw which takes up tons of time when you could have just filled it in and touch it up after. Other than that it’s not all that bad. There are tons of other tools to use. I just don’t really agree about the cost.

Procreate used to be so much harder to use because of the janky gesture controls and lack of guides. This update is good and dose good things.

This is a major flaw. I’m not sure how much I like the new update in general, but I will get used to it... however we need the undo/redo buttons back in selection mode, because right now I have had to redo so much work because of one wrong touch of my pencil. Please fix this ASAP!

Change back the undo capability when choosing layers to mass erase. Now you have to completely have to start from the beginning and re-elect all the areas again.

It’s really bad update, I want sell my iPad and delete Procreate after this update.

I use the app with an iPad mini 2. It worked great until the 4.1 update. Now the app is completely unusable. The lag time to register a s***** is a good 10 second before I see it appear on the screen! If you can’t see your s***** on the screen as your making it how are you supposed to draw anything? I even made sure my iOS was up to date and still the horrible lag.

I love a lot of features of the new update, and I have used this program proudly since 2012...but the sensitivity of the straight line feature is very frustrating. I have about 90% of the lines I try to make come ups at “line not detected”...or something like that. And I have to redraw it several times. Did I miss a setting where it can be more like it was before? All the other guidance and smart lines and grids are a dream though!

2/3 times the line will not straighten 3rd time it will but it’s s pain every time, I don’t like the dots on the line too, it’s hard to see where it ends. Other wise very good app. Will change once that is fix. Love the new symmetry and Mandala add ons!!

Hello I sort of want this done VERY soon but this won’t probably be so hard to add do you know how other art programs have a bucket fill idea? You select the color and click the bucket icon and then you can fill in an enclosed space which would make the process sooo much faster I would also like this option to make it work with filling in images too your welcome for the idea and I hope it comes

The app keeps freezing for 5-10 seconds for no reason and it has greatly impacted ease of use. It’s really frustrating to deal with over and over again in a drawing session. Also the blurring caused by simple scaling or rotating is pretty bad. That all being said, I still love this app, but I really wanna see the developers address these pretty basic problems. I’m trying to rely on Procreate as a serious part of my commercial illustration and it is so close to being there.

Love this app! It does everything I need it to do. BUT, all of a sudden, I can’t print from Procreate using HP Smart. It had worked great for a long time, then suddenly when I wanted to print, I keep getting “Export Unsuccessful”. HP Smart app says I have the wrong size copy paper loaded when I actually do. But when I upload the files to a Cloud drive I have been able to print via the HP Smart app detecting the correct paper size. I had deleted and reloaded HP Smart app to no avail. I haven’t tried that with Procreate yet because I have a lot of work things in the gallery.

I love the app, it’s my go to for digital art. However, after the recent update, there has been a glitch involving the streamline tool. With the streamline turned up on brushes, I am unable to see where I am putting my lines until I lift my pen from the tablet. I have gone through all the settings and reset my device, but this hasn’t fixed it one bit. I am currently working on many important projects where the streamline tool is essential and I am unable to continue my work, so I would appreciate it for this issue to be fixed sooner than later, thank you. Well done on the app :)

I will put you back at 5 stars as soon as you fix this issue, and if you don’t fix it I’ll will be deleting this app.

And I say WAS, because it added several new things that weren’t there before and makes the possibility of working with this app all the better, while it changed some things in minor ways, and those minor changes aren’t my particular cup of tea. The brush size, and opacity sliders for example, I used to be able to tap in the general area of the sliders and move them up and down to adjust, whereas now I have to be a little accurate with my touches, and the color works a little differently now too, but that’s not my purpose for writing this review and giving it the rating I’ve given it.

This is a pretty major flaw in my eyes, and makes the app pretty much unusable for me. Edit: Upon furthering messing with the app, I discovered that it’s the streamline that hasn’t been working since the update. I’ll edit this review again when the problem is fixed, or I find a solution.

What was wrong with Quickline that you went and messed with it? I MUCH prefer the older version when it was a one step process, I’m unclear how it’s useful to have this middle step with the blue dots... is there a way to revert to the old way??

This is hands down the best art app ever. Procreate + autodesk sketchbook = 😊

I’ve never noticed this until the update but if I draw a shape with let’s say red, and instantly fill it in with red, there’s a faint white line running close to the border of that shape. I love this app very much and want to let you guys improve it!

I love many, many things about Procreate. I love how simple the layout is at first; I love the time lapse feature A LOT. I love the concept of using my iPad Pro as a drawing device with this wonderful app. However, hidden behind the (for lack of a better word) excuse of simple design is a slight lack of intuition. For me there was a big learning curve when trying to use this app. It’s unclear to me still how to add layer effect like multiply, copy and paste from layer to layer, and rotate a selection. All simple commands that I can’t seem to figure out. Another minor complaint is that the standard brush options are limited at best and sparse at worst. For a ten dollar app (which is not much in the drawing world, but is a lot on the App Store), I would’ve expected more. That’s slightly made up for by the ability to create your own brushes and import others’, but who has time for that? It’s a pretty great app, but it does have some flaws that will hopefully be fixed in the near future. Edit: And honestly, most of these “problems” had easy solutions. My only complaint is that some of the controls aren’t intuitive. Other than that, A+ app.

I’ve been using Procreate for so long and it really did help me improve! It maybe be the best mobile drawing app in my opinion. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves drawing!

I love this app and i use it on the daily basis, HOWEVER the more updates there are the worst the apple pencil sensitivity! I know it is not my apple pencil because i use multiple pencils on it. Another is the selection tool which causes the program to freeze and will not let you exit out of selection and causing me to completely close the program. Also, i do use my fingers in between using the pencil but now it wont pick up my fingers. Even with the settings changed. I would just like these fixed because these small things are Very VERY annoying.

New update is amazing !!!! My only gripe is , when I select and move then deselect , my whole Layer deletes ?

I love this app it's great and easy to use to make amazing drawings I am extremely picky and this app is beyond great. One thing though, I would absolutely love it if It was easier to create a webtoon on here... I mainly bought the app for this sort of thing but I guess I'm disappointed in that aspect. The rest is great but it would be awesome if tools were added to make webtoon creating easy and possible! Such as easy shape stencils, advanced canvas options etc. but I 100% recommend this app otherwise!

I use this app every day, for everything I make. Love it. The update has useful features, but I am super confused why it seems we’re moving backward in terms of brush sizes? I use extremely specific-sized lines in my artwork. The scale used to range from “1.1%” to “1.2”, “1.3”, and so on and so forth. Now the sizes jump from “1%” to “2%”, but you can still scroll on the slider for a minute before 1% changes to 2%, and 2% changes to 3%. However, I’ve noticed the size of the brush actually does change between these nominal scrolls.... ugh just frustrating to lose the decimal label and not actually lose the size of the brush fluctuating. So I created a whole piece but didn’t realize 2% wasn’t a constant 2% line. My line weights are all over the place -.- Hope we can get one or the other fixed! I loved the specificity of the brush sizes.

I just wish that there weren’t so many updates, versions, options. It’s already a fairly complete tool for illustration and design. I don’t see any reason to keep changing how the tools look/work. I mean maybe add in a contrast adjustment?? But why do I have to keep updating and making everything just different enough to inconvenience me?

We are nearly to the point where Procreate is THE app for working professionally on the iPad. Every update so far has enhanced the drawing experience while maintaining simplicity and ease of use. I prefer it to drawing in Photoshop. This app, along with my iPad Pro 12.9 has entirely replaced all of my sketchbooks. Procreate’s functionality is already incredible. It has the ability to import brushes, work with layer masks, mimic the feel of painting, adjust color, apply Gaussian blur, make complex selections...the list goes on and on. I use it for nearly everything except for one thing - and that is text editing. Procreate needs a text editor. I find it frustrating to export/ import to add text. If Procreate had a text editor, it would be a dream drawing app. The text editor is the next logical step after the addition of the drawing guides in the last update.

This app is honestly my favorite ever. My one problem is with the most recent update; for some reason the zoom/adjust features are all messed up! It makes using the app absolutely infuriating if I can’t move my canvas around. Hopefully we can get another update soon to fix that, because it’s making art so unenjoyable for me :(

I love Procreate it’s amazing, but the new update is weird. Every time I try to draw something it doesn’t show up until I stop touching the screen. It’s very confusing and I hope you try fixing it soon, I haven’t done anything to mess with it so I assume it must be an error.

The app is really amazing. But a few things would make it even better. The app already lets you upload yo dropbox, but it would be even better if you could upload to google drive as well. I use procreate mainly for work, and it would help tremendously when working with clients. Also, when I copy and paste something, it would be great if the quality could stay better. It tends to get pixelated when you copy and past a portion.

Procreate is powerful, intuitively designed with a clean UI. This last update is incredible. It completely blows any adobe software out of the water. The only thing I desire is a crop canvas tool, other than that I have no further wants. Regardless of your style, manga, realism, painterly, you will find something to love about it.

This app is without a doubt great. And being a tattoo artist I use it for just about everything. Since the update every time I go to the tool bar the app closes. I can’t import photos or export or edit. As soon as this is fixed I will update to 5. Hope it gets fixed sooner then later. If I have to reinstall the app it’s gonna be a huge b***** since I have so many projects saved.

What an excellent update! The developers have added features that I’ve long hoped would be included in Procreate. The drawing guides are fantastic, and I’ve been having fun with symmetry, which works better than in other drawing apps I’ve tried. Procreate continues to be my favorite drawing app. I think I’ve tried all the others in the App Store, but I always come back to it. ... (Previous review follows...) Procreate is the best drawing app on the iPad. It is easy to use, with most features being intuitive. The developers are also highly responsive to feedback. (Note that I’ve edited my review to reflect the latest version of Procreate.) I’ve given Procreate five stars, but it is missing some features that would be very useful. I would love to be able to add and take away a grid; I've used grids in layers that I then delete, but it's just not as convenient as a built-in grid would be. It would be nice to have larger areas to store custom colors, and to sync those colors across devices. I've tried a lot of drawing apps, but I've always come back to Procreate. Here's hoping that the developers keep up the good work!

I love many, many things about Procreate. I love how simple the layout is at first; I love the time lapse feature A LOT. I love the concept of using my iPad Pro as a drawing device with this wonderful app. However, hidden behind the (for lack of a better word) excuse of simple design is a slight lack of intuition.

It’s a pretty great app, but it does have some flaws that will hopefully be fixed in the near future.

This app has been a must have for years - easily being the best bang for your buck in the digital art world, and yet they still strive to add more and more features while maintaining a clean, simple, understandable app. Something that still irks me is all the people that just want photoshop for iPad. It is not supposed to be photoshop... and if it ever becomes like photoshop, then they would have thrown away their very design philosophy. It is a perfect, simple, intuitive application for you to really explore your ideas. No clutter, and no convoluted, over complicated interface filled with tools 99% of digital artists never use. You can just jump right in and start creating.

I went from Paint Tool SAI. I draw on my iPad with the Apple Pencil. Features I miss are the select tool where you draw and that puts over a semi transparent blue - the blue means that part is selected. This means instead of having to select in one continuous stroke, you can basically fill whatever parts you want selected - letting you have many detached parts selected. This tool would also allows different brush size settings, allowing efficiency. Tools like the brush, water, marker, etc has a setting on a slider called color blending. The higher you had the slider, the more the colors would blend, lower less. Put blue on the page, take red and blend, it becomes purple. It would blend it very smoothly - no lines or anything. Transforming (selecting something and changing it) wouldn’t make the image blurry or not significantly at least like Procreate does. This probably bothers me the most, trying to move and resize things causes it to be a blurry mess. Forget about trying to transform a finished colored and shaded part. Contrast slider Features I like of Procreate Brush textures, some effects, video replay Putting down fingers snaps the s***** perfectly straight, put an extra finger down and it snaps by degrees like 45 degrees etc. Features that sound nice If video replay showed a circle of where the cursor was so you can follow the video easier. If you could download photoshop brushes and put them on Procreate easily. Photoshop brushes are much more abundant. Inserting text

Literally all this app needed was to add a straight line feature. I couldn’t believe it didn’t have one when I first downloaded it, but the prayers have finally been answered!!! Now, I don’t ever have to use another app to make calendars and other images that require geometric shapes and straight lines. Thank you!!!! Procreate is officially the perfect drawing app!!!! 🙏🏼👍🏼

Love the feature that lets you use your finger as an eraser!

Amazing, it’s great! It’s like having a drawing monitor but it’s my iPad lol. I know it’s supposed to be for iPad Pro or whatever but it works fine with my j**** iPad Air. Except after the newest update things went down hill. It’s been running incredibly slow and every time I do a s***** it’s just very delayed. Maybe a new update with bug fixes will come out? Oh well if you have anything that can help like editing settings that’d be great!

I just wants some fonts and text capabilities pls 👍🏾

I would rate this higher but I have to back and forth between sketchbook pro because y’all took away some key features. Please fix the selection tool you can’t back up if u make a mistake you have to get rid of it all now

The update is cool, I like it, but why couldn’t symmetry just be a button? It’s kinda weird that it doesn’t turn off as soon as you turn off the guides

Updated review: new features including symmetry are very nice!

awsome and lovely lovely lovely

Please fix this: whenever I draw now, it easily turns into a straight line. I can’t save the hue change anymore.

Please please read this I want Procreate to read this because this is a big issue for me 1. The round brush I don’t like the fact that it shifts colors like that and when you only do one color it just looks u*** so could you please change that thank you 😊 2. What I want to happen is that I want to lock one of the layers so that I can choose a color and then color it in instead of having to drop the color that i want onto it so would you please make that happen thank you 😊. I hope that you can make these thing happen for me I would really appreciate it if you would do it thank you again.

The new update is cool and all but I think what everyone really wants the most is just... clipping layers...

I’ve loved using this app! I’ve gotten so much done, and the controls are really smooth. However, for some reason I am unable to export any time lapse videos, regardless of the drawing—this effect even extends to drawings I have successfully exported videos from in the past. I have plenty of storage space, and I’m not trying to upload in 4K or anything (standard quality settings), so the only conclusion I have to go off of is that it’s somehow due to the recent update. Please, please fix this! Thanks.

Before the latest update, this app was my absolute favorite. I’ve been using it for work for years. However, after the update, I’ve noticed a huge problem, specifically with the Studio Pen brush. When I draw with this brush, the lines I’m making don’t show up until after I lift my finger off the iPad. There’s a huge delay which makes drawing with the Studio Pen nearly impossible. This is incredibly disappointing for me, as the Studio Pen was formerly my most used pen. Hopefully there is a fix for this!

Please do add a feature when we can add text in the next update or so! And maybe a gradient feature as well! ❤️❤️

Best art app ever. I have created more art since having Procreate and my iPad Pro than ever before. No gathering of supplies, no set up or clean up. If your iPad and iPad pencil are charged up and I’m charged up about a project I’m ready to create. Any artist; accomplished or student, needs this app.

It’s a really good overall painting and drawing app. The interface is better than anything available. Symmetry was just added and that’s good, but because of the limitations of not including odd number of symmetry lines it’s not that useful right now. Procreate also really need basic shapes. It’s just really strange that it still does not have it. Almost all other drawing apps have it.

All of my brushes- not just ones I’ve made, even ones that were pre-made- with streamline aren’t working correctly. The line I’m making doesn’t show up at all until I lift my stylus. (The line that does show up is where my stylus went, it just doesn’t show until I lift the stylus off the screen) This only happens with brushes with streamline, regardless of how much. I’ve tried reloading the app about three times, and I’ve tried using my finger and a different stylus. Please fix this! The rest of the app is super good btw :) just this one issue with brushes.

i absolutely LOVE this app but i really would like a full button. and if you had a button or brush to select what you want to instead of having to select the whole layer would be pretty nice. but overall just using the app i think i’ve gotten better at my digital art and i love it even more. i recommend this to anyone thinking if they should get it.

I love this and for anyone that wants this I would recommend it I love that layout and all the options and different tools and filters. I would like if if there was an clipping option and maybe gradients would be cool too.

I normally do not write reviews, perhaps this is my first because I felt like i have to. This app is hands down the best, just a few weeks earlier i was thinking about the wrap edit thing and today when i open the app WOW!I wanna shout out to the developer team and theirs constant hard work on making this app the best available. I would say every penny spend on the purchase is worth, in fact i got ten fold more. Thanks again and keep up the awesome work. Salute

Formerly I imported a custom-made 2D guide for comic panels & lettering. Now I can just use the on-board tools. Stellar.

Hello Procreate developers, thank you for responding to my previous review however I have stumbled upon an even bigger issue than the quickline that needs to be resolved as soon as possible and it is the undo and redo button within the selection tool. When I use the free form tool I constantly need to make slight adjustments and the previous updates allowed me to redo and undo as much as I pleased now we only have a reset button that practically wipes out the entire adjustment? I believe that there are some amazing and ambitious aspects of this update however it is practically unusable by this point and I genuinely can’t recommend it as it is right now. The developer responded by stating that there will be discussions regarding user customizability and I personally believe that that is absolutely necessary

I just got the update to Procreate. A few months back I left the developers some feed back on what would be some nice features to add. Here I am leaving an awesome review. Before Procreate was good! Now it’s on fire! If I could add more stars I would! To all the developers who put in the team effort to make it happen hats off to you! The the manger staff! Thank you! The developers should get a royal bonus! I love this program. It’s easy to use and easy to learn if you are a noobie. I’m excited to leave this review. I cant wait to see what other improvements will be implemented!

For the price you can’t beat this app. It does so much and the brushes are amazing! Now that we have liquify and warp, this is a direct competitor to Photoshop. Once Savage finally adds in text support and clipping masks (hopefully). I also hope they add in some line stabilization for people like me who want to do ink work but have shaky hands. This close to being a one tool solution. -Unless you need to do 4k work but I’m sure it will come soon as Apple iterates improvements on iPad screen resolution. Next project request! Make an app for vector illustration. Sure there are some great apps out there but illustration software could use Savage’s out of the box thinking for intuitive UI design.

The combination of the iPad Pro, the Apple Pencil and Procreate is simply awesome. I started with it a few versions ago and just got 4.1. Sweet! It just keeps getting better. Highly recommend Procreate to any artist at any level.

This is my new favorite app. There are so many cool things you can do with this program. Procreate makes picking up the Apple Pencil a lot of fun. Worth every penny. Great job.

I love Procreate, there are so many brushes, settings, and options. However there is one thing holding my back from giving it a five star rating as well as using it more often, Line correction. There’s no sort of correction tool (that I could find), in the settings or forums! Yes, we have streamline in the brush settings, but that makes my lineart clumpy. A brush with the streamline settings on it just feels unnatural to me, and its because of this that I use MediBang or Ibis paint X to substitute for this (to me) critical issue. In summary, if it’s not to much to ask, I would suggest adding a line correction tool into Procreate to ensure that you don’t drive away other customers with the same sort of problem as I. Thank you for listening! Sincerely, Nylah

Thank you so much for adding the enhancements. I’ve been using Procreate for a little over a year and I am amazed on how my digital artwork has improved. Procreate is easy to use, you don’t need to spend anytime trying to figure out any technical settings, which is very important for developing and capturing your ideas quickly. I have tried every app and desktop software, and nothing comes close to delivering an intuitive tool that enables an artist concentrate of the creative process. I average 10 pieces per month, haven’t touched paint in months, I take my iPad Pro and 2 Apple Pencils with me everywhere. Hooked for life.

This is a really great app already but what about animation? You can cartoon, meme and more that what I would like😋

This app has been out since 2011. Why? I don’t understand every single other drawing app, even freeware has circle templates. Why are you forcing me to have to manually use a plastic circle template? It’s basic no? Why can’t you implement it into the program? At the rate you guys update you think maybe we can expect circle guides by 2020 or closer to 2025?

It seems this app is set against responding to long-standing and numerous requests from users for the ability to create perfect geometric shapes, as you can do in Art Studio Pro, Paint Storm, Concepts, Sketch ... . Until Procreate adds this feature, it will be a very limited a app.

Soooo I have using Procreate for a couple months now, and its incredible! I could go on forever about how much I love it, although I had a little trouble with the new big update. For example, the selection tool, I didn’t see a undo or redo button, that’s a little difficult to work without them, other then that, THE UPDATE WAS SOOOO AMAZING!! Ok byeee.

i love this app so much! i love the tools and the effects. honestly, i wish there was a circle tracer and ruler option, as well as a a straight line, circle, and square tool. other than that, it’s amazing!

For digital art creation this app has no equal, and I've used manny iOS art apps as well as Wacom hardware and the Microsoft surface. The interface is so well done that it enhances my creative experience. No option for drawing curves with accuracy. So if you want the best digital drawing, painting, and inking app without a doubt this is the app.

Do we need to update the iOS to get the update? It doesn’t show the update button in the App Store for me.

I’m floored with this latest update. Thank you for listening to your customers and keeping the app relevant. This latest update has me so excited and I haven’t felt that way for an app in a while. I would give this app six stars if I could. I’m like a kid in a candy store with all these relevant features. Thank you developers. Thank you.

I think Procreate should add a circle ruler into Procreate just like what adobe illustrate has and the other ones too. Wouldn’t it be cool to make perfect circles just like in adobe illustrate that would be awesome. I bet a lot of you know what tool I’m talking about in that other app. You can choose a shape and and size it to how you want and then you can just trace the circle for your drawing. That would be an awesome tool. Overall I love this app it’s the best app ever. My favorite brush is the noise brush

This is the best app I have ever gotten! So worth every penny of it! When I first looked at this I thought it was over priced but I got it anyway and I’m so happy I did! I’m only fourteen and not a professional artist but almost every thing I make looks awesome! The options are incredible! All in all I wish I could give this app a million stars so I will🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This app really is the best, and the newest update is awesome! Im having tons of fun playing with the newest features and i feel like they will add even more ease and customizable effects to my art and sketches. As if rewatching drawing my own art isnt amazing enough.(still cant get over how cool it is) Kudos to you guys, and thank you so much! Its the best money ive spent on an app, hands down. Now if only there was a way to change the size of a image after you start drawing it...(small complaints and first world problems i know ^^)

No layer mask, no layer clipping, no ellipse template And that three years later ... The rest is pretty well done

Love all the new features, it adds so much without coming off so hard to either find or understand. One massive issue I am finding throughout my current workflow is the quick line. The quick line used to be so effective however now it is so glitchy and unusable. The original way of canceling out the quick line was to literally let go of the line and let it be. Now I have to either draw a new line or click on something else and go back to drawing. It’s really frustrating and I hope it gets patched.

Procreate completely reinvigorated my love of art and FINALLY got me into doing color work instead of how I only ever did graphite pencil drawings. This app is so easy to use, I LOVE the minimalist design, and everything feels completely intuitive to me. I love LOVE L.O.V.E. this app!

What happen to my fav drawing app? In the beginning after watching a couple of review videos about Procreate, I decided to buy it. I enjoy drawing cartoons & Procreate gave me a chance to see if I could change from traditional art to digital. I was amazed. Many of my friends noticed how greatly my art improved so quickly in Procreate. Procreate worked like a dream. Most of the time I use a stylist, but if I half to, Procreate works so smoothly that I could even use my finger if I had too.(On a personal note Procreate worked so smoothly it made me wish the creators of this app would make a special effect app like this since I would like to venture into filmmaking. ) Only what the heck happened? This morning I open up Procreate & I had used it last night. Except now when I drew the lines didn’t appear. They wouldn’t appear until after I stop drawing! My art didn’t come out as nice as it once did. Now I half to eye ball it. Farther more when I draw a line, if I hold it to long it becomes straight. I had enjoyed that feature when I could see it, but it is a bit annoying when you don’t se it change into a straight line as you draw. I didn’t do anything different when I opened up the app. Please look into this. I hope these changes can be fixed. Thank you to who anybody who reads this & to who anybody does reads this, am I the only one having these problems with Procreate?

Hi! I’ve been using procreate for a long while now for cartooning and I love it, the new features are really good too but...it’d be great if there was an animation option or something like that, seeing as I want to get into animating, but most animation apps on iPad aren’t good or have bad quality, etc. it’d be so cool and helpful if procreate had an animation feature of some sort.

The only suggestion I have is onion skin and animation timeline. I would pay extra for it. Animation apps are badly lacking. This app is my go to app for drawing now.

Sure the app allows you to setup the pen to be left-handed but the app does not allow you to move the black bar from the left side to right side of the iPad. When the developers allow this simple request to happen, I will then rate this app five stars. I find myself losing position constantly when needing to change the pens brush size and when needing to undo and redo. It’s funny how the black bar goes up-and-down but can’t be moved from left to right. Smh..

I use this app all of the time, it has become my main digital art tool! Definitely worth purchasing, you won’t regret it! So many amazing tools, every new update impresses me with how much awesome they crammed into this app.

Pretty much unusable for me until there is an option to disable two finger undo. My resting palm triggers it all the time.

I’ve had this app since 2015 and I’m loving it :) I recommend this to everyone that’s loves to draw , illustrate , paint or just doodle. This app just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good job guys!

I the products these creatives provide us... especially for the iPad. THANK YOU!

Procreate gets better with every update but how long until we can crop and reside canvasses??! Let us CROP 👏AND 👏RESIZE👏👏👏.

A lot of content comes with the price, and it has been a wonderful tool to further my artistic career. :)

I got an iPad, and thought it would be great for art. I was used to SAI and looking around for a good alternative in the App Store. I’m really glad I chose procreate. It’s easy, intuitive, and does everything I need it to do. The gesture controls are super convenient. Highly recommend! The latest update is really awesome! The only problem I have with it is when distorting (I’m not sure how to describe it. Pulling at a corner in select mode?), the undo button is gone now, so you have to undo altogether and start over. It’s not a huge inconvenience though! This is definitely worth the money, *easily.*

I’ve worked as an illustrator and cartoonist using a desktop PC and Wacom tablet for years. I took a career in software and wanted to get back in digital art. The decision was between upgrading the desktop with new hardware and software or trying out the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil. I did a lot of homework on software options and it was Procreate that finally made the decision for me. I can do so much, so easily, portability aside, at such a better price that it was a no-brainer. Truly excellent software. Thanks for a fantastic and well-designed tablet drawing experience.

I’ve been an artist of sorts for 50 years, and a computer artist for the last 22 of them. Procreate on iPad Pro is THE tool I’ve been searching for the entire time. If I knew how to write code, this is what I would have made, only A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than I would have ever done. Have you ever wondered about what kind of genius geek/artist hybrid it takes to make this stuff?? Go say hi to this guy sometime, and you’ll find out. Many thanks for the perfect tool. And while I’m at it, thanks for the perfect price too. I hope it made you a millionaire!

Basically the best art app on the iOS store and the only reason any artist owns an iPad pro.

Greatest tool ever for artists. Hands down. No competition. This app has inspired me to draw every night. Designed for artists by artists and it’s obvious. One thing that would complete this for me is Text. Is there any plans for text in the future? Would love to hear a solid yes or no so I can come up with a workaround for it. I can get text in but it’s super inconvenient and seems to limit amount of layers I can use. And one minor gripe, moving, adjusting totally destroys resolution quality. It’s really bad.

So the day has finally come where mobile has replaced my desktop for me. Procreate runs lightning fast. I’ve been using it for almost 5 years now. It’s never lagged in that time and some how runs even faster. It’s fast, always. They have the best User Manual I’ve ever seen for any product in my life. It’s very very user friendly, covers everything you need, and is just beautiful... which isn’t something I’ve ever said about a user manual before. Speaking of easy, making brushes is super easy as well. The tools work splendidly. They are easy to use, intuitive, and out of your way yet easily within reach. The UI is just amazing. It doesn’t get in the way, it looks nice. They even added a white mode so if you are outside in the sun you can cut down on the glare. The default mode though is a nice dark interface which is easy on your eyes. They have so many tools. Amazing blurs, smudge, adjustments, selection/transform, liquify, perspective guides, radial menus, bucket, quickline(straight lines), and more. Just lots that’s crammed into this program yet it’s not overwhelming like many programs. It’s more like magic. We all love magic, playing with magic and making things with magic. That’s basically the essence of procreate. Drawing in procreate is such a delight. I could easily see someone becoming a professional artist before they know it simply because they were having so much fun drawing. It’s addicting. Now there is one feature that is missing in procreate, one I’d like to see. The ability to change your canvas size via cropping with draggable nodes to increase/decrease your canvas size. That would be great (or an infinite canvas which is more like a dream rather than a complaint)

Please consider attaching a reference photo so we can draw side by side kind of thing. Oth apps have this feature. I really hope that you guys can consider this simple little thing. That will be really really awesome of you thank you if you doit, if not oh well have a good day.

Wonderful drawing app, simple and easy to use, but by g** they need to make it so having to delete from the gallery doesn’t take half an hour of trying to press this itty bitty little select circle. That’s right next to the rename! Just going back and forth trying to touch this little button so I can select the picture and not rename it. Honestly don’t really think there needs to be a option for title in the gallery anyway. You can SEE what you drew in the thumbnail, the title is really needed when you save on to the desktop or in photos. Regardless, I just to be able to select my art in a more efficient manner.

I was wondering, in your guys’ next big update, could you possibly add clipping layers, I know Procreate is a painting app but there are plenty of people I’m sure that use your application that draw with lineart and use flat colors and cell-shade and all of those things. I understand that there are masking layers and such but I just don’t understand and I know I could watch some videos or tutorials on it but even if I did understand I don’t think I would use it very much, but if there were clipping layers I would most certainly use that. Also your application is just wonderful, I love using it so much and I love the difference it has from other Painting/Drawing/Art applications, I use it every time I draw digitally, thank you for making this rad app :) Thank you for reading Have a good day! <3

Art & Creation!!! I LOVE Procreate! I cannot even express how lovely it is to loose myself in it, and, full disclosure, I don’t even know how to use most its features. That’s neglect on my part & has nothing to do with this gem of an app. I’m sure once I get on my game the look of my art work would vastly improve. I’m sure there are professional artists out there who have different things to say about the app, but for me it is AMAZING & I thank the developers for not only making this available but for the continuous drive to improve. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! #ItIsAWonderfulTimeToBeAlive

I am a footwear designer that has always hand drawn my designs for clients. As a designer I always had to work in pencil then ink then add color. This has changed my life and made it so much easier and faster for me to design and put texture and color into shoes so clients can immediately see the potential. Thank U thank U thank U

I had been toggling between two apps for a variety of features. Procreate just became my one and only drawing app. Thank you for the features update that has made this the most versatile drawing app I have found. I am a huge fan!!!

Just updated to 4.1 and I can’t find any of the new features.

The new guide system is fantastic! Excellent update! A minor adjustment, however, would be nice. When using the Symmetry grid, the Quadrant and Radial options could be combined into a single option which would allow you to set the number of segments from 3 to ... whatever, say up to 8. In this case I’d not only have the option to have odd number of segments, but this could eliminate the current Quadrant option. In which case, if I were to set the number of segments to 4, that would be the same thing as using the current Quadrant option. And having user adjustable number of radial segments would be preferable since at the moment I can have only 8 segments (or 4 if I use the Quadrant option) which I find somewhat limited. After all, I might want to have 3, 5, 6 and 7 symmetry options, too. Otherwise it is great!

Tl;dr: Read the guidebook or watch a video on YouTube, you can memorize every feature of the program in a day or less, people! When we bash the devs—preferably never—let it be because they actually messed up or something genuinely needs improvement, not because we users lack reading comprehension. The title says it all. I’ve had Procreate for years, like back when it was new to the App Store and $5 years. Procreate has always been a great tool, I just grew less interested in digital art and ignored it until last year when I got an iPad Pro. I felt like a new user as so much had changed. I am not a techy person, and I’ve barely done any digital painting in other programs. I was able to figure out the ins and outs of Procreate with relative ease. I’ve handed my iPad over to people who have never done digital art. They figured it out. I’ve handed it to Photoshop aficionados, and they figured it out. Heck, I’ve handed it to my elementary schoolers, and they figured it out even faster! If you’re really too lazy to experiment with the app, the developers have been so kind as to leave us with a handbook that explains everything in great detail. Often features that I see half the users whining about are in fact available. Is the utilization as great as say Photoshop or SAI? That’s subjective. But yes, there is a blending tool. Yes, there’s a dropper. We have layer masks (albeit recently). Blah blah blah. If a feature is not here, it’s probably coming. Be patient or vote with your dollar elsewhere. If you hate reading, go to YouTube! It’s free, and there are tutorials by pros like Brad Colbow, Austin Batchelor, and K. Michael Russell that can make you a power user with little effort. I have seen everything from high-quality artwork for clients to prints and stickers for cons come from this app. It depends on the user’s needs. Personally, digital art is more of a hobby or a tool to teach with. Therefore, Procreate meets my needs and I find it intuitive and pleasant to use. It’s smoother than the other apps I’ve tried and never heats up my iPad. Timelapse is great. The blending is not ideal for my tastes, but it’ll do. Occasionally, I have to fight the freeform tool, but palette creation is simple. Procreate has its ups and downs like anything else. But, it is as nearly flawless as an art app can get and deserves kudos for that. Give it a try for yourselves, you'll probably enjoy it and create something wonderful in the process! Cheers!

This is the best iPad drawing app that I’ve tried so far.

The best drawing and painting app for iOS and it just keeps getting better! And NO MONTHLY PAYMENTS!!!!!

The new update is ravishing! I have wanted the warp and skew features for a long while now so it’s such a relief. But i really hope the next update includes a geometrical interface so its easier to draw circles and squares without needing a third-party app, like I normally do.

It’s lacking a few simple tools(not hard to incorporate) that would make so much better. Make no mistake this App is really above the others and IMO the best. Unfortunately myself and a small minority been asking for a few years to PLEASE Add...tools for helping with creative composition. One for example is a ‘Divine Proportion’ tool like the Awesome ‘Corel Draw’ for PC has(among many others). Don’t know why they holding back. On their forums two years ago they told us to let them know in their feedback, and nothing came about. Guys/Gals, please add more tools like COREL DRAW. The Ipad Pro is very powerful to handle it. Till I see some new tools added no need to give it 5 stars.

It freezes and I have to close the app and re-open it

I’ve been using Procreate since 2014 and I love it, very affordable for so many features! I’ve upgraded from IPad 2 to the newest one so I could use the Apple Pencil and it feels amazing to draw in. However now I notice when I use the transform tool, even if its shrinking something, the transformed object becomes slightly blurrier? I don’t think I had this before I upgraded; other than that thank you for this app, and all the updates you continue to bring!

I love many, many things about Procreate. I love how simple the layout is at first; I love the time lapse feature A LOT. I love the concept of using my iPad Pro as a drawing device with this wonderful app. However, hidden behind the (for lack of a better word) excuse of simple design is a slight lack of intuition. For me there was a big learning curve when trying to use this app. It’s unclear to me still how to add layer effect like multiply, copy and paste from layer to layer, and rotate a selection. All simple commands that I can’t seem to figure out. Another minor complaint is that the standard brush options are limited at best and sparse at worst. For a ten dollar app (which is not much in the drawing world, but is a lot on the App Store), I would’ve expected more. That’s slightly made up for by the ability to create your own brushes and import others’, but who has time for that? It’s a pretty great app, but it does have some flaws that will hopefully be fixed in the near future.

I love using this app and have had it for a little over 2 years now. It’s the best cheap drawing app I’ve found yet. I’m hoping to upgrade to an iPad Pro sometime in the future, and I can’t wait to check out the Apple Pencil support! However, I think Procreate could be even better if y’all added clipping layers as a feature and if we were able to put folders inside of other folders! Keep up the great work, guys!

Everything I want from Photoshop as an artist. Well designed, easy to use and a powerful tool. Not quite a Wacom killer, but close and affordable for any artist. The developers are still adding features under the same price tag - no in-app purchases. You will want to download the free manual in iBooks - you’ll be working like a pro. Don’t hesitate, this is a digital artist ‘must have.’

I love Procreate so much, having a iPad Pro with a Apple Pencil works so well with this app, the price is worth buying it. Tbh I stop using my laptop for drawing since the drawing and painting feels so natural and smooth though sometimes when I try to use the short cuts it won’t work other than that it’s works like a charm. There are some things that could be worked on, color picking a color from a reference or from the color wheel isn’t the exactly what it should look like while painting with it, it’s a little bit off, though It’s not noticeable at first (it’s not a big problem at all it just something I’ve noticed while using Procreate over the years) and now the blending tool, the blending tool can be really good but sometimes the blending tool can be frustrating to work with and sometimes while blending it makes the color muddy or won’t give a nice type a texture, I know sometimes it can be what brush you use for the blending tool. It would be nice to get a better version of it, also it might be a bug or something but when I leave a painting and go back I lose some of the progress of the painting and I haft to redo what I’ve already done. Other than those small details this is the best app for everyone it’s easy to use, you can create masterpieces with it, I wouldn’t go to another drawing app, I would say THIS is a app that you should try out. Everyone from 3 to 90 years old can use this app. It’s the best app out there just get it try it out !!!!!!

Best drawing app out there on the iPad.

I really like the app I just wish there was a way to save a piece of artwork to an account and I also would like a tool that smooths out lines after the piece is finished and lastly I wish there were more hair options for beginners like curly or templates on how to draw something.

This is the best made iPad drawing app but it has been freezing and deleting some of my drawings. The most important feature should be stability.

Plenty to love with procreate, but most of all is the ease of use and over all thoughtful design. Some apps have more features, but not many strike the same balance of ease of use and functionality. I think my only real issue with procreate is the limit to layer count. I know part of this is because the number of undos, s***** recording etc. but it would be helpful if we could have an option in the settings to limit undos to gain more layers. That or be able to take combined layers and compact them into a cached layer which is actually a separate file that could be edited on its own. This would mean that they’d only be 1 layer when embedded in a document. Not sure how such functionality could be added and be user friendly but I have faith that the procreate devs can figure out a way. The help PDF files should just be included with the apps help. There is a lot to procreate that people assume isn’t there including those files in the app might help.

I’ve been using this app for over a year and had great results. In the last few months every time I move, duplicate, or transform my work in any way it blurs. I work in 300 dpi. What’s going on? I can’t use Procreate until this is corrected. I would have given the app 5 stars, but now it’s 1 star. HELP!

2-3 years ago I purchased this software to use professionally with my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. It has become my go-to tool for conceptualizing. The learning curve was pretty steep and I still don’t have a grasp on a few things, primarily because I don’t have need of them and don’t use them. There have always been a few minor glitches, but no deal-breakers. That has changed. Procreate has now become, literally, unusable. My last few attempts to use it have resulted in program freezes after a couple minutes, and often, complete lockup’s of my tablet. Professionally, this is more than just an inconvenience. It’s a disaster - as a lot of stored work is now inaccessible or lost. Sadly, I am now forced to move to other software. IMO these devs have, like so many others, become victims to the feeling that only major new tricks and features will keep their brand at the top. Instead of just honing the good features they already have, they attempt to make their software serve every function and every user, which on a limited platform like a tablet, with it’s constantly updating OS, almost guarantees eventual failure. They lose sight of the fact that software like this can eventually have so many features that it becomes intimidating and impossible to learn and remember all of them unless you use them all on a regular basis. Along with this, usually comes bloat and glitches. My software is dead in the water as we speak. Annoying for casual users. Unacceptable for professional users. Can’t recommend it at present. UPDATE: Problem resolved I was able to resolve my issue by deleting other lesser-used apps. It appears that the freeing up of additional memory did it, but I can’t be absolutely sure. With 128 GB of ram on my iPad Pro (ver. 11.4), and probably more than half the ram still available, I would not have considered this to be an issue. Deleting a few apps was no big deal, as this tablet is primarily used for pro art purposes. Bottom line - it worked. Now, if the devs would just give me a few basic geometric shapes to work with.

This app is a amazing app, there are so many possibilities and things you can do with it. My only problem is that when I zoom in on my drawing it gets pretty pixelated. I don’t know if this happens to everyone or just me, but I think that the problem has to be fixed. I don’t think it is a problem with my iPad though, since I have a iPad Pro 10.5 inch.

Is there a way to connect the app to some kind of website or server where my art work can be saved to in case my device gets ruined in any way and none of my work gets lost when my device is fixed?

I have been expanding my illustration portfolio and Procreate has really allowed me to accomplish this. I can create brushes, stamps, and even pattern brushes that I can use to make designing quick and easy. Also, there is a “paint bucket” type tool to address a complaint of a previous review. You just click on the color circle in the top right and drag it to your closed space you want to color. There are a lot of neat tips and tricks, so check the manual, YouTube, and the web. So many resources with info on how to work this amazing program. These guys managed to create what Adobe hasn’t felt the need to supply, a fully functional illustration app! Worth every penny! Developers- I would like to see a vector based offering at some point. Other than that, AMAZING!

Procreate is absolutely the best professional illustration suite out there, for me at least. I’ve definitely used many, but as a professional illustrator there is nothing that comes close. That said, there hasn’t been an update in months and the last update brought with it some real dependability issues. This has been the case on the last three iOS builds, so I don’t think the culprit lies in iOS. Since the last Procreate update palm rejection, which Procreate was ahead of its time at, is not nearly as functional. I find myself having to try 5-6 times to pinch to zoom in and out. Multitouch in general is just not as functional. Procreate is reacting more slowly and it just leads to fistfuls of first world problems that really hinder my work day. Again, still the best illustration program out there for me, just please update and fix these issues. I have tried a clean install of both iOS and Procreate and these issues persist, so I’m 99% the problem lies in Procreate. iPad Pro 2 - 12.9 in.

There is so much lag. I can’t get on as much. But other than that, it’s great! I love digitally painting on it :]

I know there’s angry comments and stuff. There aren’t simple things like paint dump,Or a shape maker.But its awesome! I can draw anywhere I WANT. The brushes are SUPER customizable and it’s awesome! Great for sketching,painting and lineart! Super zoom ins and CUSTOMIZABLE canvas sizes? And oh boi a TOTALLY CUSTOMIZABLE COLOR WHEEL! Won’t crash or anything. People are just angry because they can’t draw minimalist drawings so can you pls add a vector mode?Thx! <3 I’d pay $20 for this beauty!

I love this app to pieces and would readily give it five stars, but there are two things missing that I use on a regular basis for my work that are keeping me from doing so. First, when I select and rotate an image even slightly, I lose resolution and have to re-draw my line art at that angle. Second, it doesn’t have a magic wand tool or clipping masks. Because of this, I’m wasting a lot of time on things that take only a second with Photoshop or Paint Tool Sai. Procreate is on the right track, but it has another step to go before I would abandon Photoshop completely for it.

Perfect for drawings

i went from using paint tool sai to this, and i feel its a major downgrade. it really needs a clipping mask, better selection tools, easier to understand brushes, and comic creating features. it’s extremely streamlined which is fantastic and also very frustrating. sometimes i love this app, and sometimes i can’t stand it.

Es una estupenda app! Me encanta, estoy enamorada pero cada que voy a hacer algo con círculos o cuadros, o cualquier otra forma tengo que ayudarme de otro programa, por favor corríjanlo

This app is amazing, the wide variety of brushes and the options to create your own is endless. When I got my iPad Pro + Apple Pencil) I immediately got this app because of the amazing reviews about it and I’m not disappointed. If your looking for a good app to do illustrations then buy the app it’s worth the price^^

This is my go-to drawing app on the iPad with the Apple Pencil. Still learning the various ins and outs but this app definitely serves it’s purpose. However, I have noticed a few glitches that are annoying, chief among these glitches is this strange phenomenon when I rest my drawing hand on the screen to draw, the app mistakes my hand for a command. Sometimes it undoes my last stroke. Sometimes it resets the screen and zooms out the canvas. This is most frustrating especially when engrossed in artwork. This app is advertised as being able to rest your hand on the screen without interfering with the program- so why is it getting quirky? Most annoying, but it will hardly stop me from using it. Suggestions: Dear Dev Team, 1.) Please give this app a freaking text/font tool... don’t know why you didn’t put one in the first place... text tool is kind of standard issue these days. 2.) please give the pallet a ‘clear’ paint/color option. Why? So we can do ‘clear area fills I.e. area erase 3.) Please give us a ‘smart eraser’ option where you can tell the erase tool what color to erase only. 4.) can you modify the options menu/selectors to allow us to turn off screen swipe commands... unless you can fix the hand-rest-on-screen-prompting commands glitch. If it is there already, I cannot find it.. Thanks

This app is really good for painters but it lacks some features as well I am not a painter I am a sketch artist this app do not have a line correction tool to where the line can auto straight it’s self out for cleaner lines the app also only goes to 20 layers not infinite layers or at least 100 slayers another thing about this app is the transform tool I can only squeeze and enlarge the drawings but can’t stretch a certain part in my drawings medi bang can do all this an it’s free but I like this app more so that’s just 3 features you guys should consider for sketch artists like me

Love this app and been with it since beta! Never lets down. Updates are great! Keep it up!

Please create the ability to crop the canvas to resize the painting!!

I have another reason to love my iPad! More than what I was looking for. I originally thought of doing rough sketches and tried another program. When I picked up Procreate, the artistry possibilities ramped up and I’m happily spending hours doing art! Can’t wait to see where my art will go!

I love this App! Been using it as a professional fine artist for quite some time now! Most folks cannot tell the that my images are digital! I recently purchased the new IPAD PRO with Pencil and I rarely go to my desk top Mac, Corel Painter and Wacom. Procreate doesn’t do everything but it’s incredibly responsive. Being able to rotate and zoom in and out of the image on screen and turn the iPad it’s self makes the drawing and painting comfortable and more natural feeling! I didn’t give it 5 stars because I have a suggestion and hope developers read these reviews. I really wish you would consider adding the ability to type in tool size and tool opacity. When switching between different tools it difficult to adjust the slider bar to an exact percent. Thanks for this reasonably priced, fun and incredible app! (Now make it for a desk top computer!)

I love the app and all the features but the screen recording could be better... I can spend up too 4 hours on a drawing but the recording would only be 10 seconds long. It also tend to jump during the recording. I could be sketching and it skips the whole process of the sketch and records straight to the coloring. I hope this feature can be improved to record the full process and maybe even record when the artist zooms in on their drawing to give better perspective but other then that I love the app and wouldn't trade it for the world

I have been trying to connect an Adonis Pixel stylus with Procreate for several hours and no matter what I do or how many times I try it, I cannot get it to connect. I have an iPad 2017 and all the documentation said it was compatible with Procreate 4 and the Adonis Pixel, but it is NOT working!

I’m an art student focused on digital art and have been producing digital work for about 8 years now, 5 of which have involved using an iPad. Many of my classmates recommended Procreate, said I wouldn’t want to use anything else, that it was their favorite app. I don’t see how hey can feel that way, this app is incredibly limited and focuses more on having brushes that are pretty much useless instead of having actually important features, like the ability to crop a canvas. If you’re reading this and looking to download an art app, look at Medibang instead. It’s completely free, and a lot like Sai, Firealpaca, Kirita, etc. but on a tablet. You can sync your work to other devices with the application. Most importantly, it actually works like a real art program, not an overpriced KidPix, which is honestly what I feel like I’m getting here. Save your money and save yourself from frustration, there are way better apps out there than this one.

Like most people here reviewing would know, a pretty useful tool a available to use is the Cursor clad button that allows you to move things you’ve selected, as well as change their size, width, length, and etc. My only issue is that whenever you go to make something bigger or smaller that you’ve selected, what you see as you’re doing it is a clear version, big or small, of what you’re about to change. However when you complete that action, depending on how big or how small you made it from its original size, it’ll be blurry or really blurry. If there is something in the manual I missed about trying to fix that, my bad, but I have no idea how and it’s as if no one ever talks about this as an issue. Anyways that’s my only problem, I otherwise love this app to pieces, I’ve had it since 2014. I hope you fix this! :)

I love this app and I use it for most digital art I do because it’s very user friendly and it has an attractive look to it but it could use a few would love to have a bucket/fill tool in this app, I always see it in most other drawing apps and was a little disappointed when I didn’t find it here. Another thing the app could benefit from is an automatic gradient tool like in photoshop, something with the option to make the gradient linear or circular. Overall, this is a great app for fun and for professionals, but I really think it could benefit from adding a few tools.

But I think many people miss many features, so maybe you need better tutorial or guide. For example, you have bucket tool and can draw straight line but I didn’t knew it until I searched about it. Ahh and I hope you add shape and text tool. I love this app so much!

I thought this was going to be a good app because of how pricy it was but it wasn’t at all. First, it takes up a lot of space. Next, it doesn’t make sense. It isn’t worth the money. Stay away beginners.

One suggestion, PLEASE ADD A GALLON BUCKET! It would be really useful to me. Thanks!😋

I thought I could me this app to learn and develop as a beginner using this one app, but I found this difficult. I think this app really is for professionals or those close to it.

Sometimes pinch and rotate doesn't work. Also when drawing I’ll see a bunch of random zig zag lines appear around the pencil.

I have had this app for 3 months and it’s been amazing it’s worth more than 9.99 I recommend it so much 5 stars

The only thing I’d really like to see added is the ability to crop and resize images.

Pro create is one of the best drawing apps of 2018 or is the best drawing app of 2018 its easy to use and can basically anything

This app is off the meat rack @midcitykicks

This is one of the most reliable apps you will find for sketching, artistic exploration, design, and creating illustrations. Love the organic brushes. Looking forward to seeing the ability to feather edges in the next update. Very responsive to the Apple Pencil. Buy it you will not regret it!

You should add a full bucket because it would make it easier for me.

This app is honestly a lot more useful than I thought it would be. There's a few things I'd love if you added. Vector tool! Helps filling in things much faster rather than drawing an outline and filling it in. (Add the gradient option to the vector tool too please, that way I won't have to give each section a gradient by hand! Pixel tool! (Add different shapes not just squares!) This will help out so many pixel artists. Make it so that each pixel locks on to a specific place! Half Tones! Would really help in creating some abstract pieces rather than having to download different textures from Google, and individually clip each one to a desired layer. Hope I'm not asking for too much! Thank you for creating this wonderful app for all of us aspiring artists out there! Much love!

Honestly I’m not a professional so I can’t really say anything but this app is pretty amazing. The way it’s set up is pretty simple and quite nice and organized. My favorite part of this app is probably like the special layers and how you can make your own brushes it’s quite amazing. The only complaints is that some of the controls are somewhat hidden; I didn’t realize that there was a fill tool until like a couple of months after I purchased the app. Also there is no shape tools and I find the eraser and smudge tool quite hard to use because there are so many brushes and none of them work for erasing or smudging quite well. There is also no text tool so it is hard for me to create comics with it. those are really the only complaints I have about this hence the 3 stars out of 5 but I really like the fact that you just have to pay like $10 and you don’t need to pay like a monthly fee. Of course all my complaints can be fixed so I have very high hopes that this app will get even better!

As a customer for 2 years, I keep hoping the app will include some form of basic 2d animation in a future release. It’s an awesome app that could be made very productive to some of us that create basic animations along with artwork. Hope somebody is listening.

I have been using this app for almost a year now and I’m really satisfied with everything, it’s sad that Wryfox thinks it’s just for doodles and I really like the finger gestures it really helps smooth out the drawing process, (especially the erase all gesture!) I honestly think this is a ”serious” art software, But I guess everyone has there own opinions, To those that read this it’s your own likes and dislikes that matter and this is mine, Ps devs I am begging you for actual shape tools please! For those out there that can draw a perfect circle put on some cool shades because that’s quite an achievement in my book. Just another voice. Jaywood C,M,K.

This app is much more intense than I expected. I made a mistake by downloading the manual because now I am having a difficult time enjoying my simple drawings when compared to the gallery and digital instructions. I was told it was a $5 app by Best Buy but paid $9.99 for way more than anticipated. Sorry Amazeink

I love this program/app so much i use this on a day to day basis but there is just one issue, sometimes when I'm on the app when i try to use my apple pencil with the any of the brushes minus the monoline it doesn’t work. I switched the tips that didn’t fix it. Also when i re-installed the app that didn’t fix it either. If you can help me resolve/ solve this issue that would make my day :)

I recently purchased the new 9.7 iPad. I also purchased the Apple Pencil. I have never considered myself an “artist“. This app has changed many things. I find the time I spend painting, drawing, airbrushing, etc to be very relaxing and cathartic. I have made some recent art that has actually blown me away. The app is not cheap, but for everything that it does, it continues to amaze me. The app is also wonderful to share with my children. Although of course the Apple Pencil is expensive, so you must be careful about that. The app is perhaps a little too complicated for young children.

This is an amazing program that is very nice to use, but it would be very nice if I could: 1. Create Lines and Circles with a tool instead of spending hours to get it right 2. Fill transparency so I didn’t spend hours with the Eraser Other than that (tell me if I'm just being an idiot and its in there, and I’ll change it to 5 stars) I love how you can make your own brushes. It makes it so much easier when you want a brush to look like something the system doesn’t have. I also love the Apple Pencil compatibility.

This application is truly wonderful. It has fixed just about every issue that I have noted and noticed and it seems to have recently been just about the only drawing software I use. However, I believe that more features need to be expanded upon for professionals and less for “Finger painters” not that I have any personal issue with them I just know that this app could be truly amazing if it just pushed it further in the direction of customizability rather than making things too simplified. I do enjoy the simplification as well. As a matter of fact, I believe adding the option of a paint bucket tool would legitimately simplify the nuisance of having to constantly go back and forth with the tool that is currently built in as the paint bucket tool. All in all, this application is fantastic and any artist that wants to take a c**** into becoming a professional should absolutely use this yet, like every single software, has its flaws but unlike other software developers, Procreate constantly pushes how useful and great it can be.

2-3 years ago I purchased this software to use professionally with my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. It has become my go-to tool for conceptualizing. The learning curve was pretty steep and I still don’t have a grasp on a few things, primarily because I don’t have need of them and don’t use them.

Wow, guys. Bravo. Incredible. I don’t think I’ve had this much fun since elementary school art. Thank you very much for making this.

I’m trying to read what you’re fixing/improving, but I have to find them sandwiched between unnecessary, awful jokes that seem to be written by a preteen girl. Please stop the preteen girl you have on staff from writing these, and just tell the consumer what you fixed. EDIT: The developer’s response translated: “We are going to continue to be ‘entertaining’ with our app updates, i.e. continue to keep the preteen g****** staff who writes the awful atempts at humor, and if you don’t like it, we don’t care. You can call us if you’re confused about the updates because reading is hard.” Because I’m sure that’s what it is...your updates are just so confusing to figure out, that your customers are going to need to call you. Maybe it’s what I actually wrote about, which is that when I look for the update, it’s unecessary for you to write like a teeny bop numbskull. Just listing the info is good. Filling your update messages with your ‘entertaining’ responses is unecessary, and all it does is take the consumer more time to figure out what you fixed. Why? Because you think update message ‘entertainment’ and your sad attempt at humor (which makes people cringe) is more important to you than your customer’s time. Your ridiculously condescending response and your inability to understand what I wrote makes me want to delete your app and use a competitor.

Overall great app, BUT: 1. When you select something and move or adjust the size it blurs out the moved selection -very bad for adjusting detailed drawings! 2. Speed would greatly improve if there was a “dodge and burn” tool set to quickly push value, mood, light in painting and drawing. If those changes were made I don’t think I would miss painting in photoshop very much!

This would be the ABSOLUTE perfect drawing app if there was a blur TOOL. I’m aware there is a Gaussian Blur but if you select have something previously selected it’ll show white marks and completely mess up everything. The smudge tool is great for backgrounds and detail but a blur tool would help me out a lot!! When it comes to shading or background work, a blur tool would be extremely helpful to help blur out the harsh lines. I understand it would be a lot easier with the smudge tool or Gaussian blur but it doesn’t work/feel the same. Thank you for your time

Could there possibly be a clipping option for layers, please? Also basic shape tools that you can resize and adjust?

Just because your a serious artist doesn’t mean you have a full pocket for photoshop. Procreate in my opinion is even better, getting new brushes is easy and I rarely even have too because it’s already so efficient in providing the tools I need. Plus the community is great! Just thanks a million Procreate for making something so great and keeping the cost reasonable.

Is there a way to create a stack/folder inside a stack?

You don’t even want to know how much I use this app. I use it to make posts for my art blog, and they come out AMAZING! you made an amazing app, and you should be proud. It’s wide variety of brushes and tools make for limitless possibilities. It’s pure perfection. 👍👏👌 Update: Ok, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who wants this feature: Transparent layers. If there’s a way to create these, I don’t know how. but I would really like the ability, if not already possible, to create transparent layers. Yet another update: Thank you for your response that’s exactly what I needed! Hopefully this will be the last update! 🙂

Procreate is such a great app and runs so smoothly. I love it and it’s a great purchase. The reason I only gave it four stars is that I feel like it’s missing some essential functions that many art programs I use. One of them is being able to edit the canvas size after you’ve made it. Sometimes my composition ends up looking different than originally planned so I want to extend the canvas or crop it and I feel like this is something pretty essential that Procreate is missing out on. Others being clipping layers, being able to rotate a selection without slightly altering the size (thereby also changing the resolution of the selection). It’s small things that I think Procreate could use that would make the app 5 stars. Overall, amazing and it’s my main illustration app on the iPad.

Let me start this review out by saying that Procreate is the only app I will ever use for serious work. It's built upon a very speedy brush engine, and with the Pencil and iPad Pro 2017, it's unmatched in terms of responsiveness. The workflow is just lightning fast! With other apps you're sort hobbling around submenus to get to features that you want to use. With Procreate however, it's simply miles ahead. The QuickMenu is a game-changer for me. I'm able to work much quicker than I would be using a standard Cintiq and Photoshop. Meaning I'm able to focus on what I want to do, which is paint. With this said though, there are some small improvements/additions that could be made: 1. Rotating a selection is nearly impossible without also resizing. I'd love to just place my finger on the selection, and rotate around that pivot point using the pencil. Scale locking would suffice, too. 2. Perspective Tool angle snapping. The Perspective Tool is very easy to use and understand, but trying to get a perfectly horizontal horizon line with 2 points is pure agony. With 3 points, forget it. There should be a setting somewhere to enable angle snapping. 3. The Color Picker auto-hides. I'm not a psychic, so I don't always know what hue or value I want to use next. I wish there was a toggle switch that would allow me to keep it open and experiment! 4. Clipping Layers. This one is big. At the moment I rely on Alpha Locking the layer I want to add to, and duplicating it to make additions. It's unnecessarily destructive, and causes a bit too much clutter in the layer menu. Clipping Layers would make all of that go away. 5. QuickShapes when? I've been using the workarounds for quite sometime now because I prefer the experience Procreate offers, but I think it's about time to give us a way to intuitively create shapes. If they could somehow also snap themselves according to Perspective Assist, that would be a huge game-changer. 6. Warp Transform Tool. Yes, I know it's a nicety that doesn't necessarily pertain to great digital paintings, but it certainly helps "nudge" them along, if you catch my drift. Such a tool is invaluable in making slight compositional and anatomical adjustments quickly without cannibalizing your work. These issues aside, Procreate is well beyond worth the ticket price. Crossing my fingers for a summer update 🤞

I love Procreate and it is wonderful for beginning and advanced artist. My only issue is when you move a layer it leaves a couple pixels from where the layer previously was, almost like an outline. It makes moving and forming layers messy. Is there a fix for this?

The way you outlined your latest update was very much appreciated by me. Never stop your funny writing and amazing product.

I’ve never stepped away from traditional art. But with my new iPad Pro and Pencil, I was ready to give it a try. This app was inexpensive and seemed pretty good, sonI bought it. I cannot possibly express how happy I am.

When I try to import artwork the app crashes ;-; I’ll try cleaning the gallery to see if that fixes it.

I love this software but I would appreciate it so much more were it to have a image cropping ability.

It’s not bad, but there are other apps with better tools. You’ll spend most of your day either designing or searching for a good brush to import. No shape tools. No perspective tools. Really no other tools except brushes. Pretty good blending physics, though. It’s an ok app.

As an traditional acrylic and canvas Artist, I never dreamed of considering digital art. Then my daughter told me to download Procreate and it changed my life. We are living in the future right now. I now use Pinterest for inspiration, my iPad Pro as my mobile studio, Procreate as my brush and either Fracture or Canvas Discount as my canvas! Everyone is busy, now from the comfort of a hotel room, I can create art and order prints that will be delivered to my door in just a few days! This app gives me so many choices and is so easy to use. I highly recommend.

Whai i mean is like the tool from photoshop that lets say you dont want to erase the eye or mouth you use the tool and you fix and transform or move it in facetune people use the tool to make things smaller or give yourself a more curves in a picture .... i need that tool in Procreate

Procreate doesn’t work for me at all. Customer support is essentially useless. I’ve used it on my friends’ iPads but it does not work on mine (using an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and running iOS 11.3.1) no matter what I do. It’s a good program, just wish I could use it. One star because it’s impossible to troubleshoot and, for a paid app, it really should work.

This app has the best combination of robust features and ease of use out of dozens of drawing apps I've tried. The brushes are easy to customize and have great variation. Transferring docs to Photoshop is a breeze. All the tools and effects are thorough and well done. The interface is sleek but poorly documented, and I only found out most solutions through forum posts after Googling them as there's no Help documentation. As there's a lot of swiping, tapping, and dragging to reveal tools, this is really, really inconvenient. Even the Fill tool is unique (and cool!), but good luck finding it without a walkthrough. The MAIN ISSUE is that there are some features missing that most other drawing and graphics apps have, that make it incredibly frustrating at times and force me to still have to rely on other apps. *There's NO clipping layer option and you CAN'T crop/resize canvases after creation.* Having to shade without clipping makes me feel like I'm 13 and using MS Paint, but even that lets you change canvas sizes. These are options on almost every drawing app I've used (even back on my iPhone 4) for years now. There's also no text tool and you can't draw shapes, which is definitely a handicap compared to other apps, but not treasonous considering its focus as a painting app. Still, I'd love to rely solely on Procreate for what are usually relatively default features. All in all, my favorite drawing app, but not complete enough to be my only one.

I am an industrial designer and I use Procreate everyday on my iPad Pro 12.9 to do concept work. Previously I had been using a cintiq 27hd with sketchbook and the adobe suite so that is what I have been making the comparison to. Everything about this program is perfect, the workflow blows any adobe or autodesk program out of the water. The brushes and textures are great, very few of them need adjusting at all. There is a perspective tool and many different layer settings similar to photoshop. The first most frustrating thing to find out after using Procreate is that THERE ARE NO ELLIPSE, CIRCLE OR SHAPE TOOLS! Yes. I have done my research and looked at the options of building a new brush, importing a circle shape and everything else. But coming from an industrial designer doing very line work heavy concept art I have to say it is imperative to be able to trace your own ellipse. Giving it your own selected line weight with a stroke. This ellipse tool, which works great in sketchbook, would be similar to the current perspective tool in Procreate. Of course I can go on a forum and say “don’t be silly! You can just import a strait line and make a brush for that to make nice strait perspective.” Clearly this is not the same as throwing your own lines and making your own hand drawn line weights. The second is a mirror tool. Sketchbook has a great mirror tool. And again I understand that I can draw one side of whatever I’m making and then copy and mirror the layer. This is not the same. As a designer it is very important see real-time mirroring when creating something symmetrical. Many times something looks good when it is half but not when both sides are combined. As a professional designer I spend a lot of money on programs like the adobe suite and cad among others. I would be willing to pay another $50 just to get these last few features. And I know I am not the only one. Maybe autodesk has patented these tools and that is why Procreate is unable to do something similar. I don’t know. Being in product development myself I see a huge market that has been missed by not having these tools. By adding things like this, designers will stop using their cintiqs completely and will buy the professional version of your app. Which could cost much more and no professional would have a problem buying.

I love everything about this app especially on an iPad Pro and having the Apple Pencil. I just wish I could resize the canvas after creating it. I have run into this on several occasions and would love to have this fixed.

This is seriously the BEST drawing app I have ever used. For 10$, witch normally seems like a lot for an app, is completely worth it for everything you get in this. This app is amazing ❤️

What an amazing deal. Feels like an app that would cost $40. I’ve made over $100k with my art using this as a primary tool. Changed the whole way I work.

I find this an amazing app to draw in! I love the brushes and it’s really fun to draw in! Just a one small bug that kind of annoys me , sometimes my screen freezes when I’m drawing which annoys me sometimes but not much of a big problem. Overall this app is great to draw in! A few suggestions I have is that maybe you could add in a fill bucket and some more brushes. When I modify the brushes, it doesn’t make much of a difference which I’m disappointed at but it’s still overall a great app. Can’t wait for future updates!

I like Procreate. I don’t like that I can’t go back in my history and that once I close out of an artwork and reopen it, I can’t press undo to my last most recent move. I accidentally pressed the eraser brush. Pressed it on my drawing by accident, then accidentally logged out and quickly resumed. And now I can’t fix a simple mistake. I need to start over. And that the brush I’m using on a piece is not the same one as I started with. I have to guess to see if I’m using the right one. I think it’d be cool if your pen brush was remembered as well. Other than that. It’s cool. Thanks

I’ve been using Procreate for years now and I’ve never had a problem... up until recently. Idk if it’s from the last update or what, but now the program has problems when I try to zoom in and out. Doesn’t recognize my fingers when I try to do either. Also it seems to skip my lines when i but the pen down and I’m left with dots instead of a straight line. Sometimes when i hold the pen after doing a line so it’s straight, the line will disappear until i release it. Procreate is the only app that’s giving me issues. Seems like it’s do for an update. I soon seeing that this is my main app i us for my work for my clients

I feel that this app is the best on the app store for painting and sketching. Although many people make their artistic living with it, beginners and hobby artists will love it too. My favorite indispensable feature is the ability to create my own brushes. I can use their textures with my brushes or use my own. It has layers, speed, fantastic texture... it has selection capabilities, lots of brushes... I only wish it had a label here or there on the main screen lol. Not to worry. There are menus and they seem clear. If you haven't tried Procreate - really experimented with it - you're missing out! ☀️

Switching the left vs right hand toggle on and off only changes the orientation of the brush bar, the one on the side. The top menu bar remains the same. Please allow entire tool menu to flip or allow alternate choices, it is inconvenient to have to stop my drawing hand to be able to interact with layers,color,etc.

I like this app. There are not many decent drawing apps I can find for my iPad Mini. Though, I do think it’s better fit for painters. I really don’t use it as much now, but it served its purpose for a good time. The blending tools are VERY nice though. I enjoy the customizability on the brush types. I do think it would be nice to make the selection tool a bit better, and add a way of deleting layers so my slots aren’t clogged up with a ton of unused blank ones. The blurring tools are very diverse, the layout is smooth, and the variety of tools is amazing. I do prefer MediBang and SketchClub, so I recommend them over this if painting really isn’t your thing.

Just as advertised, just advertised. Happy with what I paid for and for what I got, I would’ve paid more for :)

I just start using the app few days ago and every time the app gets my iPad Pro hot while I’m using the app and is the only app I use no answer from the app support yet

I am not a professional but have been using PS for 15 years. If you are even remotely familiar with PS, Procreate will be an almost seamless transition. I was more than impressed with the functionality packed into this app and rarely need something that is not included with this app (or that can be easily imported.) I was pricing a very expensive interactive pen display when I decided to go with an iPad pro and the Apple pencil for use on the go. I added Procreate and haven't put it down since. From quick sketches to cartoons to quick chops to make your friends laugh... Procreate nailed it. The Apple pencil and this app is my Prozac. If you love to design, draw, paint, doodle or anything in-between... spend the $10. A bargain at triple that price in my book.

Yes, Procreate has great brushes. Yes, the Procreate team posts cute little anecdotes and “wee oh so much fun” commentary in their update descriptions (no one cares, get to the point, as a professional I just want to be able to see at a glance if this is a professional grade tool yet.) Yes, you can create outstanding art with Procreate... No, you can’t use the wealth of other tools that other advanced professional software apps have because Procreate hasn’t focused on any of them. Autodesk Sketchbook is a superior tool set for professionals, over Procreate - and now its completely free. Procreate becomes more convoluted with every release, without becoming more useful. I had high hopes when this app first launched. It showed so much promise and potential for what the future of drawing on the iPad could be. Now it’s just gone flat and stale. Maybe the next version will boast “a billion new brushes!”.... yawn.

I’ve tried a lot of apps; ArtRage, Clip Studio Paint, Sketch desk, I even tried Doodle Buddy at one point. But, by far, this is the best app I’ve used, it is beautiful, the brushes are amazing, and it works flawlessly for me! It’s only crashed about twice but I lost nothing. One thing that I am BEGGING the creators to do, please make this a animation app! Having this as a animation app would be perfect, it has different tools for several effects that are hard to animate otherwise and it just makes everything so beautiful, and stunning to look at. If it would be possible, then please consider making a timeline for animation!

This app is amazing, I’ve used it before on my friends iPad and got it myself months later. It has more brushes than I need, but that’s great for some projects I might challenge myself to do. But I have one problem, and it’s shading. Sure the smudge tool is great and all, but it’s not great for my kind of shading. I recommend adding a blurring option, so it’s a smooth blend into another color, and so the bar doesn’t have too many options, it would be in the smudge area, so you can switch between them without accidentally switching them if they were on the same bar. If there is such option, please tell me so I can find it

This is the artwork app you want to use. If you’ve tried Sketchbook, try this. As for functionality, I would like to see a canvas mirroring feature to make building mandalas and sacred geometry easier!

Procreate is such a great app and I love it! I use it for calligraphy. But I noticed a problem when I was creating a color palette... When i tried to move the color squares to a different spot on the palette layout, there would be a blank spot in between one color and the color I was trying to move. I couldn’t place the color over the blank spot and it was like it was frozen. Then I would try to move the color in the blank square and the app would shut down. It would go to my home screen and the app would start all over again. It’s VERY bothersome, especially since I’m always adding new palettes and colors. I don’t know if this is just a problem on my iPad, or if everyone with this app has the same problem. Either way, please fix it soon...

Is there a way to lock a stack? Like to restrict access and view of any projects inside the stack to protect privacy. Or create a stack where any projects within it can only be viewed by setting and knowing a password

Procreate glitches when you scroll through safari in split screen mode. Procreate turns black and just glitches out. Please fix this issue.

I love this app! In my opinion, it’s the best drawing app for iPad. It’s worth every penny, and I really recommend it to anyone who does digital art. However, there are some things that, if done, would make it even better: - The cut and adjustment tool. When I’m inking, for example, every time I need to adjust the size of something, even if it’s just by a few pixels, the part I selected because fuzzy, and doesn’t look as sharp as the rest of the drawing. I end up having to retrace over the new size in order to fix it. Maybe this isn’t the most horrible problem, but it is inconvenient and somewhat annoying. - A paint bucket tool. One of the most basic digital art tools ever. There is none. Why not? Is there a paint bucket tool and I just don’t know where it is? What is this? Why is there no paint bucket?? Other apps have done it, so why not this one??? Maybe there is a paint bucket tool and I just haven’t found it, but if there is, can I please get a guide or something? Speaking of which... - A help guide maybe? A lot of the options within the brushes don’t make a lick of sense, and it takes a lot of experimentation to even remotely figure them out. I know there is a help button, but maybe just have a separate help guide so newbies don’t get completely lost. But, aside from those three things, the app is great!

This is science fiction come true: a complete art studio in a magical slab of glass. Combined with an iPad Pro and pencil, there is nothing better. Great app, great developers, great community.

Very well made app that is thoughtfully designed to be easy to use. Wish the gestures in this app existed in the native notes app. Looking forward to the next updates! Pick up the app if you haven’t already. It’s only $10, and it’s worth every penny.

Every time I use the Apple Pencil by drawing. The drawing curve starts to get laggy can you fix it.

I only have a few issues with Procreate, but over all I love it because it just works and is easy to learn and use without being too dumbed down. First time I opened it I was able to get to work straight away. No manual read or tutorial watched. If you want a more realistic painting experience then apps like paintstorm studio will fit the bill. If you want a more industrial design sketch app concepts or sketchbook will serve you better. For anything in between those two takes on creating digital artwork though procreate is hard to beat. It’s a day to day sketch and paint workhorse. The app should have a mode that lets us sacrifice undos and performance for more layers. I was using a Wacom tablet before with layerpaint HD and could do many more layers at the same resolutions. Not a deal breaker, but really the only thing I find myself grumbling about.

It is inconvenient for a large number of brushes to be backed up

It’s the best app I’ve ever used in any OS. If you try it once then you can’t stop using it. It’s so fast , smooth and feel really good to illustrate with it and it’s professional features. Thank you devs for making this app great.

This is the best app you can use as a artist for your digital art. I brought out a creative side of me I didn’t think I had. It also helped me improve my craft in the biggest way. There’s so many different tools, so much you can learn, and I feel like I’m always finding some new to add to my art. I never write reviews under anything but I recommend this app for everyone.

this is a great app, I use it primarily for conceptualizing ideas for a home design, among other things. I start with a 3D model in Blender, render a basic image to get geometry portrayed accurately, then use Procreate to paint over it and play around with textures, lighting, etc. I’m no pro, but I’m practicing and it’s fun, that’s all that counts, right? one suggestion though. I have a Pencil by 53 and use it in this and other apps. it’s not officially supported by Procreate, but I still use it (much better than just a finger and handles better than a $5 stylus). my suggestion is simply to add support for the Pencil, if possible.

Anything imagined can be created with Procreate!!! I’ve spent days with this app after having this for only 1 week. This is the kind of app to last a life time!!

This app is working well for me! I’m not great at lettering though, so it would be a perfect 5 stars if a text box was added.

In a word, awesome. Thanks for this truly amazing app!

I use Procreate all the time! And it’s great! But the past few months it does this thing were it randomly shuts down and deletes entire layers or portions of my image. This is super problematic for someone like me who does commissions and uses Procreate. I’ve had to start over on entire projects because of this “little glitch” and it’s cost me greatly. Just today I was doing a very important commission when the app closed on me I was begging that nothing was gone but instead a entire half of the Image and several other layers were gone. I was heart broken, 4 hours of my hard work was just gone...you really need to fix this it’s causing me to loose a lot money and time...

Charged my account 18.38😕

I’m currently using 4.0.8. And I’ve been using Procreate for about a year now, I recommend it to everyone that sees me drawing on my iPad. The program sells itself truthfully. I’ve used it for something as minor as sketching out ideas to freehand graphic designs for commissions. My only complaints as of now are: The opacity information from one layer is not carrying over when merged with another layer. I do my digital art in layers so I depend on the information being retained when I merge layers. There is no gesture or shortcut to switch between the brush and the eraser; this only becomes an issue when I’m in full screen mode....which I rarely use because I have to back out to erase. Procreate has a plethora of gestures one can use for many different purposes but the ability to swap between eraser and brush was left out. I feel this is way more important a function than being able to quick switch between full screen and “interface” screen, so why not swap out? That’s my two cents.

Like I said I love this app but it’s been crashing a lot since I bought it last week. I’m using the new 2018 iPad 9.7in. I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing while it crashes. It almost seems random. Thanks. Again, I love the app!

You don’t even want to know how much I use this app. I use it to make posts for my art blog, and they come out AMAZING! you made an amazing app, and you should be proud. It’s wide variety of brushes and tools make for limitless possibilities. It’s pure perfection. 👍👏👌 Update: Ok, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who wants this feature: Transparent layers. If there’s a way to create these, I don’t know how. but I would really like the ability, if not already possible, to create transparent layers.

Love this app it does everything I need and more. Great for aspiring artists.

New issue: i am trying to do some work with a psd , and i keep getting Unsupported Color Mode (cd artwork template psd file from cdbaby). Why in the world would you not support this color mode whether 16 bit RGB or CMYK. I dont get it. ——- Thank you for fixing my quicklines! Love you too! Hahah Not much to say other than this is hands down the best drawing/art app on iOS. The one thing i have to say that stands out for convenience is undo/redo with just a hand gesture tap. Saves so much time. Keep it up!

I really love this app but one thing is annoying, when I use the paint bucket it leaves an awkward white line inside the object. Please fix this then it would be perfect.

Not just my favorite daw and paint app but my favorite iPad app of any kind. This is what iPads are made for. I’ve been fiddling around with Procreate since version 3 and it has been a blast. I’ve created my own brushes. Even when I’m painting in documents that are 8,000 x 8,000 pixels everything is snappy and smooth, but at that size I think I was limited to four layers. I’ve tried using Wacom tablets to draw and I never quite got the hang of it. Using the Apple Pencil with Procreate is intuitive and natural.

Stunning how well put together this program is, it’s relatively easy to learn and is great for drawing via my iPad when I’m on the go. The app runs smoothly, and I have no issues with its performance. I would happily recommend this program to anyone in need of an app to draw in. My only quarrel with it is that there are no clipping masks, which are beyond helpful with multiple techniques.

Love everything about it! Procreate is really an app that gives you the space to draw by hiding everything that you don’t need from the immediate view. Everything you need to draw/paint is there in front of you. Two sliders - opacity and thickness. Color picker is always visible but tucked away in the corner (unlike in SketchBook where its super annoying). One click to roll out layers or brushes menu. (Layers in SketchBook for example, are always visible and easy to trip accidentally). The Layers interface in Procreate is so well done, it makes Photoshop seem like windows 3.11 Once you learn something in Procreate you realize that it’s very intuitive and easy to use as you work. Two/three finger tap to undo/redo is so much better than swiping or having dedicated buttons, this should really become industry standard for every drawing app. (This is off by default for some reason though. To enable go to iOS settings app, and in the apps list find Procreate. Then disable “Simplified Undos”. This actually makes them simple, but whatever, now you know ;) ) Procreate may seem as not having enough options like the other apps that clutter your screen with menus, but it’s all here. Whoever designed the app was thinking like an artist. What’s used more must be accessible instantly, secondary things are never more than one click away. Even perspective assists is there. Some Background: I wanted to have a way to draw on the go for a very long time. I watched some YouTube videos recently, and figured the mobile technology is finally ready. Before pressure sensitive devices were only Wiacom’s domain. But the idea of the same (or better) tech that can fit in my messenger bag really inspired me to get the iPad pro. There’s really no similar device out there, for any price at the moment. I really wanted to get MS Surface - to have all-in-one. But that thing is buggy to the point where you can’t draw a straight line (and so are all other brands using this tech at the moment). Wiacom’s all-in-one is ridiculously expensive plus if you can call it “mobile” well then my old PC + crt monitor is also a mobile setup ;) So I got an iPad instead (a one-trick-pony as I thought of it initially). Now when I installed Procreate I realized that this awesome app lives in the iPad world and if I got Surface instead (which I would if it wasn’t flawed) then it just wouldn’t be there. Well this thought made me feel even more happy with my iPad purchase. Especially after seeing what music making capabilities have been made available on it. Apps like Cubasis, Auria, and many cool synth apps. Wish iOS was less restrictive in terms of file system, but that’s a whole different topic. PS, I don’t mean to put down SketchBook app, it does have some nice features. I just like UI of Procreate much more. And at the price it sells for might as well get both.
