This is amazing!

When I downloaded this app, I was shocked at the results! I used to like drawing on a whim but now , I’ve really enjoyed drawing and animation! This app helped me so much! THIS APP IS AMAZING AND TOTALLY WORTH IT! I love the app! This has got to be the best app ever. So good! I recommend this to anyone trying to pursue their dreams to be an artist or an animator!

Crosshair?

Hi!! Love the app, been using it for a couple years now and it’s my favourite thing. My only gripe with this app is that it doesn’t have an option for a crosshair, or if there is, I don’t seem to have access to it despite having the app updated to its most recent update. As far as I know, there’s only the thickness indicator. I know what I’m asking for is basically a feature ripped right from Ibis Paint, but I’d love for a crosshair that appears as your stylus tip hovers over the screen. Thank you for taking the time to read my review if you have!

Worth the money!!!

Hello! I would like to say procreate is overall amazing and I do highly recommend it! Although I have a few suggestions. You should add a button or something that allows you to save your drawing to photos or a file, I think that you don’t have this setting already but if you do sorry for writing this.and also I think you should add a few more brushes in the next update if you do updates 😄 amazing app 10/10 thanks for reading!

Add some stuff?

I’ve been using this app for a year and a bit now and I think it’s a good drawing app but with the reference pictures it gets annoying that I have to go get another picture and I think it would be good if you could add more then one reference and better blending. That’s all :)

We need a recycle function!!!!

The most stupid thing of this app is the lack of recycle function. I accidentally delete some work and found there is no way to restore them unless I erase everything on the iPad and restore the whole data via iCloud. Sad fact is my iCloud has backup several times before I realised my work was gone!!! I searched online and there were a lot of complains globally. How difficult on earth it is to have a bin button for this app??? This is really the worst experience I never have on this kind of app.

Really good

I’ve only been using the app to 3 months and so far I’ve had no issues at all. Once you get used to all the controls and such it’s super easy to use and I love the minimalist look of it. The only thing is I wish there was an eye dropper tool but otherwise it’s amazing and the procreate website has great resources for free too!

good app, some flaws

procreate is a great app for drawing, but on my ipad, procreate always crashes and is laggy, my speed paints are all of a sudden very pixelated and there a very limited layers. however, the brushes are amazing and it has a good layout so it is easy to access things quickly.

Five star rating.

Procreate has been stunning, and has helped me begin animating, since the controls are so easy. Its features are great and there are no ads. I’d buy this if I hadn’t gotten this app already. The only problem I have, however, is the limited frames for animating. I can only ever do a little animation. I love making little animations, but it would be awesome to make animations that last for longer. My last complaint, is that you should be able to add audio to your animations. I’ve read many other reviews, and since it’s been around four years, maybe it’s time to bring audio into procreate. Despite this, Procreate is the perfect ‘pocket art studio’. Its brushes are great, and so are its functions, graphics…and everything else this app has! Thank you for your time reading this.

This app is soooooo cool

First I thought that you pay every month but then I heard that it was one of! I was so excited when it downloaded and I got onto the app. It really surprised me, there is so many things to explore on Pro create and I still haven’t figured some things out. It’s such a creative place to draw and have fun. I really like this app, it is amazing to work with. Pro create is properly the best drawing app there is!You should definitely get this.

A good app that works well

A very useful app that has worked well without any bugs. The only frustration that I have is that I do a lot of scale drawings and it is lacking good measurement and scale tools. There are work arounds like keeping a screen shot of a ruler and protractor on file that I can overlay. All in all good value and no subscriptions!

Good yet.

Procreate has a variety of brushes to choose from and a pleasing amount of layers. However, it is recommended (in my opinion) that procreate could not only react with apple pencils but also react with stylus pens for more people to buy.

This app is the best drawing app you can find on the App Store. There’s amazing brushes you can use and is only a 1 time pay. Really amazing quality and even animation. If your looking to buy this app then just do it. It’s worth it. I’m starting a business and I will use procreate for the sign. 100%

Procreate Review

I’m making another review because my last one was very simple and didn’t go into detail about what actually makes the app great. I grew up using Ibis Paint x. I recently switched to procreate and basically fell in love with it. The ability to great customs brushes easily, as well as download them without a hassle is phenomenal. Another great thing about procreate is it’s very simple to use. I like the idea of being able to hide the size and opacity bar as it can sometimes get in the way.
Unfortunately, the reason I have to give procreate a 4 star rating is because of a recent bug (?) issue that has occurred for me. I’ll be drawing and when I go to zoom out or move my screen I can’t. I can still draw and everything but I cannot move my screen or undo and brush strokes. Once the freeze is over and I undo, it erases all my strokes that I had made when my screen was frozen. This becomes very infuriating but it only lasts about 10-15 seconds on average.
Overall I love Procreate with my whole heart and I will continue to use it.

Amazing 🤩, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I probably use procreate everyday because of how great I is. I have made probably about a hundred 💯drawings and animations. You can trace things, animate things, copy things, draw on 3D things and I could just go ON AND ON. I am a fan of Wings Of Fire 🔥 and a can draw my OCs so easily with Procreate. I have used other apps in the past, I won’t name any names (SketchesSchool) which have been assigned to me by school 🏫 and they honestly suck! You can’t even add any layers other than one layer. Layers are my best friend. I also have multiple friends who use Procreate and they are really good at drawing ✍️. But they’re not the best at animating, but Procreate can easily help you with getting better and advancing in your animations. If you’re new I DEFINITELY recommend this to you. Procreate can help you with your drawing and animating skills. DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!! Update- I still stand by what I said. I also use it to draw my OCs. I recently found out about how to make things glow. I definitely recommend this for beginner drawers.

As soon as I opened this app for the first time I fell in love with it after using it for a few years I have explored so many features it has so many different brushes and allows you to add layers and make animations I would recommend it to everyone even if you just want to do a few scribbles this is a amazing app and everyone should have it

good but one thing wrong

ok so, procreate is perfect and i love it. the brushes, features and over all app is just perfect, but i don’t love how, when u import an image and make it smaller, it pixelates it. i make wallpapers in procreate and it’s incredibly annoying when it looks like pixel art. that and when u import an image an leave it out of the frame, eg. accidentally placing it wrong, it cuts off that part of the photo so u have to re-import it or undo it and everything u did after it.

Great and functional!

So this great app is wonderful for beginners and really cohesive, but the range of free brushes are less than I thought, if ya’ll could maybe bring in some more and better brushes it would help make my life so much easier!
But overall the app is wonderful and rather easy to learn, keep working hard team!

Needs better history function

Fantastic app. Problem, if you flatten a file and go to the gallery and back again, history is non-existent. This seems to be unnecessary and unhelpful. Also a “recently deleted” folder shouldn’t be too much to ask.

Totes should be used

I loved this app it’s a bit was amazing every time I used it, I used to have another drawing app but I could only use a few of the brushes because it costed money. How I found about this well I found out from my aunty because she’s a graphic designer for royal Caribbean it was awesome and it only a one time purchase no subscription needed just buy the app and get everything included. Also one thing I think you should a pre-made set of hair brushes but if you can’t if you’re thinking about making another app I think you should make like an offical procreate brushes and tools and make it tots free or like only some exclusive ones and mostly free ones. That’s all I have say and this would be the best for future graphic designers and artists. So 5 stars is an understatement it should be 50 stars it’s that amazing please read this devs and take some of my little feedbacks into consideration

Horrible

If you are a beginner artist or new with didgital art I would not recommend pro create, it’s very confusing at first learning where everything is and I had to watch a few tutorials just to find a brush. I would recommend other art apps like ibis paint it’s much easier and you have all the stuff you need. However if your a professional artist procreate is okay but yeah I’ve been doing traditional art for years so when I bought procreate I who’s shocked at how poor quality it is. (Not to mention the ridiculous price to even download it!)

So close to being perfect!

All I think it needs is a way to adjust line width. Generally, I make my lines pretty thick, but Procreate doesn’t have a way to make those lines thinner. Other than that, maybe it needs better shape recognition, if that makes sense. I cant say how many times I’ve drawn a curve and it was recognised as an eclipse or line, and not an arc. Great software though! The 3$ I think, was definitely worth it!

The new update..

I’ve been using this app since I was 15 and I am now 18 and I have had no problems till this new update. It has caused a problem where you can no longer import any photos at all anywhere within the app— whether that be as a layer, canvas or reference tab (I don’t personally like doing as I prefer to use it to see my canvas) and it’s been making it frustrating to draw as I can no longer add references to my canvas and either have to split screen (again I don’t have a very big screen) or use my phone or laptop in order to have a reference, that or constantly switch apps between Pinterest and procreate.. please fix this.

Good but things to add

Procreate is a awesome app, with amazing brush’s and colors, but their are few things I wish they can fix, so if you can can you fix this? So firstly as for the animation you can do, for layers, each layers = a frame, but it is hard for me to like draw, so what I want is for each frame you can have multiple layers, which will be great, like a frame and with multiple layers for each movement, that will be perfect. As in the second thing I want to add is how their are little bugs, fix this please, for me the color drop when I do it, the color will just go as the background and it’s not usual. Thirdly as the color drop, when we draw draw something like a circle and then color drop it, and then you draw another outline of a smaller circle in it without using layers, basically easier for all of us to use it, so all these above if can do it than I will be happy, I mean really happy.
Add more please….

Amazing with a few exceptions!

I honestly was captivated by the app. So many brushes, the possibilities of nice art is endless. I thought it was a subscription due to the price but it isn’t. It’s perfect for students, teachers and everyone in general older than , like, 5. I’d give it a solid 9/10. My least favourite thing is the brushes in organic and elements. The fire and steam or smoke thing look horrible. Also, when I go back on a colour there’s a slight discolouration than before, which is really annoying. Also, you really could make some vine brushes for jung;es. I still think this app is better than ibispantx and stuff, but thanks for this amazing app. And make, like, better hair brushes please.
PS sorry if the last sentence was a bit harsh.

Not Working

I downloaded this app three years ago and I was extremely happy with this app until it stopped working, this app is supposed to show you your drawings in high resolution because of the way you are able to zoom in to your drawings a lot. After a year of using this app the zoom does not work as it is supposed to. It is on the latest update and has not been fiddled with but now I have spent 20 dollars on something I cannot use anymore, I have tried contacting your company on the help page but I have not been replied to with a solution for how I should be able to fix this, I have put off using this app but recently I found a video on how to creat a bubble brush, it asks you to select two brushes but unfortunately mine does not give me the choice to select two brushes nor merge them. I see that you sometimes reply to reviews on the App Store so I am trying everything I can to see that my $20 was spent wisely. Thank you for any help.

Amazing! But could you maybe add one more thing?

Procreate, I love your app, we can make 3D things, we can animate and we can just draw and doodle, I mainly use the drawing bit of the app, there is nothing wrong with it at all, it’s perfect! But I have been interested in infinite zoom art, you know? Where you can make pictures of a picture in a picture in some other picture and so on. I’ve heard of this other app called infinite paper, (something like that) but that costs like 9-10 bucks and it has such bad quality, I’ve read reviews saying it’s like an unfinished game and the pixels are blocky, (I hate blocky pixels!) but procreate, you can do it, I know you can! You’ve made such a successful app and the users of ‘infinite paper’ would be so grateful haha. Please procreate, take your time, I understand if this is too much to ask. Thank you for reading this.

Highly recommend, but…

I’ve owned this app for about two years now, and I can assure you that you’ll get your money’s worth! It has a variety of brushes to use and there’s a lot of tools to enhance your artworks! It’s really helped me develop my art, and I’m really glad that I chose to get this app.
Although I think this app is great, it does have a few downsides. When you delete an artwork you can’t get it back. Yesterday I accidentally deleted a sketch which I thought I didn’t need - Just after did I realise that I had about 14hrs worth of doodles hidden in the layers. I tried searching everywhere on how to recover it, but I found out that there isn’t a way to get it back. It was really unfortunate and I hope the developers are able to do something about it. Maybe make a recently deleted folder? This one isn’t as important, but it would be nice to be able to make stacks inside of stacks, to make it more organised.
Other than that, it’s a really great app and I’d definitely recommend it to digital artists.

Wonderful app!

Great app! Awesome for any kind of professional work, very simple and easy to navigate making it great for beginners, fantastic drawing quality and the number of tools and brushes is astonishing. For the one time only price of like 20 bucks it’s really great! Importing brushes and fonts is also and option if you don’t like the given brushes, but there’s just about anything you could need.
If you’re tired of “free” drawing apps and are looking for actual quality, please get procreate! Take some time to learn how to draw with the app and you won’t ever want to go back. The pressure sensitivity for apple pencils is beautiful and digital painting is also supported with various paint brushes.
Good job!

It’s great! But. (Idk if this will send)

I love the app so much! It’s such a great drawing app and I couldn’t be happier! Though I dislike the limited layers, whenever I try ti do big pieces of artwork or even animations, it’s always so annoying and then I have many same drawing projects bevause I have to duplicate them to add new things.
Another thing with the animation, it could be very nice if there was a sound guide so you could put audio on your animation.
Also the new thing about hiding layers in speed painting thing is really not it. People could easily hide the fact that they traced art, and artists uses speed paints as a way to show that they originally did it, but with this option, it’s much harder to prove that it’s your art, I personally have issues with this, because I’m scared that if I ever show my art, that someone will trace it and take all the credit.
Other than these things, the app is amazing! And I’ll keep using it!

⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️Amazing, but a few faults⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️

This app is amazing, and a bit cheap for what it offers, but it’s incredible. But there is a fault or two that I’ll explain. The first is colour. I try to recreate a colour that I want using the syringe tool, but it still gives me a completely different colour. This is quite irritating, and makes it hard to draw. If a developer could possibly explain what I’m doing wrong, or if it’s a setting I need to change, please explain. Another thing, is the size. Even 10% size is incredible large, and in really don’t understand why 100% is needed if it takes up the whole page. Otherwise, incredible app, I do recommend, though it is still quite difficult for people like me who are only getting started, so I recommend a simpler app to begin with before moving onto procreate.

Game-Changer!

April 20, 2023
Last year, around this time, I had just bought my iPad and started using procreate. It was my last attempt at digital painting/drawing after being vexed with the sheer convolutedness of the softwares out there. With procreate, I DIDN’T WANT TO STOP DRAWING!
Today, a year later, I am stunned, pleasantly overwhelmed and humbled as I type this. I am now the lead concept artist for a professional game studio as we work on an ambitious title! This is truly surreal. This is me living my childhood dream. Thanks to procreate and iPad for allowing me to be able to bring what I could do on paper to the digital medium.
Feedback and a small suggestion:
1. When using a smaller brush size for detailing etc, the ‘peppermint’ pencil seems to revert to a larger brush size spontaneously sometimes and takes a few strokes to return to the smaller brush size.
2. If you could work on an option that allows us to vary the frame rate between two adjacent layers that make up the gif/mp4, it would be phenomenal. It would allow Story-boarders/ConceptArtists/Previz to control the pacing accurately and do the entirety of 2D Visualisation without ever leaving Procreate! And export the file straight to the director. The mere possibility and how organic and intuitive it would make visualisation excites me!
Words can’t express my joy today as I wrote this review.
My deepest thanks and appreciation to everyone at Savage. You guys are Game-Changers! ✨✨

Awesome, flexible app!

I bought this app today having high expectation as I had heard it was exceptional from many friends who already use it. I was very excited and once I downloaded it, I immediately started checking out all of the features. I used Ibis Paint previously to draw, FlipaClip prior to that and I must say, while Procreate has what feels like a never ending supply of options, it’s very hard to know what does what if you’re new to art. I can appreciate how Ibis provides a tutorial and explanation when you first start out with the app, and considering this app has even more opertunities for new options, I feel a quick tutorial would be very helpful. The tools in general are very impressive in general, but I feel the fill bucket draws me away a little from this feature. It is far to difficult and complex to figure out and I feel the option to just ‘click and fill’ would be more conventional and easy. Otherwise, it’s a very advanced app!

Amazing app! Definitely worth it!

I have only been using this app for less than a year, but it's been amazing the whole time!
Starting off, I was terrified that the price was like a subscription at first, but then I found out it was only a one time pay, which is great for my convenience! I heard about it, and when I heard it included art AND animation, I just had to get it! It has heaps of features, and all the brushes are great to use. Even though everything is great and awesome quality, there's a little bit of critical feedback I'd like to give as well (all though I don't think it should take down a single star!). With the animation, I feel as if it would be nice to add an audio feature. I understand why you wouldn't add it in or anything, the app already has a lot of options. But I'd say a lot more people would buy it if it had audio in the animations! That's the only reason I switch to FlipaClip in animation. One more thing is the fill bucket. I enjoy how fancy it is, and how much easier it is the fill a specific spot. But in some ways I believe the traditional
"tap to fill" bucket works better. But I don't think that really matters, since the whole app is amazing anyway. I used to use ibisPaint, a free drawing app, and I can say that ever since I got Procreate I only made my digital art there. So many things I love about this app, and I'm overall so happy that I bought it!

Oh my fluffing GAWD

Hey! It's Glitch here! I just want to say a HUGE thanks for this amazing digital art application that is highly addictive and has high performance and a huge variety of textured brushes! I recently got an apple pencil gen 2, and I had to get a new ipad Lol. On my old ipad, I didn't have as many brushes, but now, I just found more brushes! I love procreate, and its amazing for my furry drawings! I love how you can make your own brush sets and brushes, and can import brushes and brush sets! I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to do digital art and maybe even get some bit coin! It's is totally worth it for 16 bucks! To me, it's worth 20 bucks! The brushes are extremely unique, and I love how you can project your canvas in screen mirroring! I love this. I Am addicted to this! I love it soo much! Thank you SO MUCH for reading too! And thank you for wasting your beautiful life force reading a probably useless review!

Really good

I think procreate works well for me and I don’t think there’s anything majorly wrong with it. The new colour drop feature definitely speeds things up. Animating in Procreate is easier than animating in some actual animation apps (Or maybe just the one I used don’t get animation desk it’s so bad) but the only thing I have with Procreate is I’ve used sketches school and there’s this tool (The cutter) that when you draw a circle or any other shape that joins together you can move anything within that shape around your drawing. It’s the exact same thing as the mouse in that bar at the top of your screen but it works for the area you choose and not being stuck with just moving the whole frame. I don’t know if implementing that would be considered plagiarism or not but if it would be then could you add the same thing but instead of moving it around you just get the option of adding it to another frame or making a new frame out of the drawings within the shape (Exact same size it would be bad if it expanded the whole screen). It would make drawing on the wrong layer (One of the worst things about digital drawing) SO much more manageable.

Vector files ?

Iv enjoyed useing this app and haven’t found many problems at all !very simple and easy to use !
Currently tho I am trying to share my designs with other designs so I can get merch and clothing made the problem I’m having is I can’t send my design in a vectors file I feel like this is something that should be added to allow people to do this I have been useing this app for about 3 years now and don’t see any reason to use another app until now that I can’t send a vector file ..
Is this something coming for a future update or something you guys are working on ? I’d like to continue to use procreate but feel like it would be easyer to learn another app that allows me to do vectors files if this isn’t something that will change in the future

Stability issues, getting stuck in transforms, random crashes. Still the best.

Love procreate and use it as my main drawing program, as of late however I’m finding it less than stable. Regular crashes, closing randomly as well as getting stuck transforming selection and unable to exit transforming to continue drawing resulting in having to close and open again. In general it’s just crashing a lot more often. Fantastic program however minus the stability issues. There’s also missing a few abilities lacking compared to other drawing programs that can be a little frustrating keeping you from just using procreate. I’d love if transforms could be symmetrical, if you could do tile mirroring (as in x and Y are mirrored so you can make tiles ie sprite work for example), there’s filter abilities missing too, can’t think of everything off the top of the head. In general though most of the stuff I’d love and nice to haves rather than required. In general I’d love stability to be improved as well as battery use improvements. Lot of faith in Savage though, these guys continually make this program awesome with each update.

Waa I love this so much!!

I’ve been using this app for ages, but I’ve just recently gotten way more into art, and honestly I love the app so much! It’s helped my art improve in so many ways, both on paper and on my iPad! The app I used to use for drawing had a really glitchy fill bucket option which is honestly why I chose to change apps. I was ecstatic when I tried the fill option for procreate, as it’s smooth and much easier to control! The lasso and layers are also amazing!! I only have one problem with the app (about the amount of layers allowed for animating) and it honestly isn’t much of a problem because I don’t animate often, as I don’t enjoy it. Altogether I love this app so much and I’m trying to get my friends to try it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love this app

Edited: any plans to allow for compiling brush folders?
Thanks for creating something so versatile and portable. Ive loved creating digitally when we had to move into a small place temporarily and that ended up being longer than we expected. My paper art had no room to be done so i found this with good timing. Especially when COVID hit. It’s kept me busy. I love all the new upgrades. One id like to see one day is a search on projects. If ive taken time to name them and put things into collections, id love a search option to find them again. Another is to be able to create brush folders so that the same types of brushes can be collected into the same folder. When i buy new collections, id like to be able to put either all the creators brushes in one collection as they add new ones. Or be able to put all my watercolor collections, or alcohol ink collections, or body stamp collections into major folders so that im not scrolling through 200 brush collections trying to find what Im looking for. Right now i just put similar collections next to eachother but that makes a huge listing. Is that the best that can be done? Or am i missing something?

New update issues

I really don’t like the new update…. Everything is glitchy and the motion is really stiff. For example, when I click into an existing artwork, it would go straight into it (whereas the older version used to have a softer transition). This is not the biggest issue however - my biggest problem is with the lasso tool - before when I selected an area and pressed “remove” on the menu at the bottom, it would naturally select whatever that was outside of what I cut out using the lasso. HOWEVER with the new update, for some reason pressing the “remove” button fills the remaining canvas (that was not selected using lasso) with whatever colour that was in my palette already??? How does that even work?? Even worse, when I want to move the art that’s not selected from the lasso, it moves the selected part instead. In my opinion the new version is glitchy and in general a lot worse than before the introduction of the 3D models.
BRING THE OLD VERSION BACK!! :(

I desperately want this to be as good as desktop apps

As an artist the portability of being able to draw and create on the go is very appealing. Procreate is so close to being perfect as a substitute for desktop apps such as Photoshop, it’s just missing integral features that make the desktop setup much more efficient, and make me go back to using my desktop setup even if it’s less enjoyable than Procreate.
The small yet time saving features I desperately want added are an ability to customise the colour tab, I want to be able to change the colour circle to a colour triangle, and to add h/s/b to the colour square tab. As well as the ability to quickly view my artwork in black and white, Photoshop has the ‘proof setup’ feature where you just press a hot key to view the image in b&w, this seems minor but is such a time saver. Also being able to use Procreate on my Mac, either through my iPad as a drawing tablet, or using a separate drawing tablet such as a Wacom, the relatively small screen real estate of an iPad compared to a desktop is significant.
I want to love Procreate, and I want to be able to use it for everything, but without these features I am unable to.

Procreate: Bring your dreams to life!

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• As a young student attending a film school to become one of the next generation animators and and graphic designers. This app is like a dream come true! I use it in my spare time to create cartoon characters, (like the characters in Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego) that I will eventually turn into movie-style characters with detail, like Katie in the Mitchells VS the Machines. It’s great value for the money. At first, as a student, I worried that it would be a subscription. But when it turned out to be a one-time payment, I was delighted! This app has also been really useful for some of the work I’ve been assigned. ‘Make a short advertisement for an original movie, ending with a cliffhanger.’ I’ll use this app to create most of the characters, and I can green screen character’s backgrounds, putting them into an awesome place. I also LOVE making short animations. For instance, a character jumping from cloud to cloud a few times on floating islands in the sky. I have not one negative thing to say about this app! But I do have a suggestion, it would be great if you could add an audio feature. I am currently using a completely different app to put audio in, and it always sounds clunky and muffled. I absolutely LOVE this app and I have gotten all of my friends to purchase it. 💜

LITTERALLY THE BEST APP EVER

So me being a student and needing to get posters done and art lessons too, I needed an app that would be fun to use and would get me good grades so I was patrolling the AppStore for an app that would tick both box’s but I couldn’t find one. Then all of my friends had this app called procreate so I checked it out but then I saw that is was $15 and I was like no way, but one of my friend said I will pay for it and if you don’t like it in two days then you don’t have to pay me back but if I liked in 2 days then I would pay her the $15. So I got procreate and did an assignment that was worth 25% and I got a high distinction! So I quickly drove to my friends house and gave her $30.
Anyway so the point is that procreate is the best and the brushes and the pallets and everything is the best and to those of you who are reading this comment and are unsure whether to buy it do it because it is soooooooo worth it!
P.s - developer if you are reading this could you please add audio but if you can’t that is totally ok I just want to make a proper animation.

What I think about procreate

I would like to say that I know that you may think $15 is a bit pricey for a app but for the quality and products of this app is a good price . I was nervous that the cost wouldn’t be worth it and Is a monthly subscription but you pay this one time and you keep it . The design is very good and not very complicated , if you are having trouble understanding or want to figure out how to use it better I would recommend this app . I’m very happy that I got this . Procreate is a amazing app and is worth every cent .
there is some things I would like and one of them is a blending brush that you can size and it may be easier to use . Other then that it’s a amazing app and I think you should get this if you are a beginner to digital art or you do digital art it is amazing .

Read this if you are unsure of buying procreate!

I love procreate and you should too. Procreate has made art so much easier and it is defiantly worth buying. I understand that it cost quite a lot of money in buying this but it is so worth it. Even if you are a beginner at art you will get use to procreate because it makes art so much easier. I know I have repeated myself quite a lot but procreate is worth buying! If you are an artist you should buy procreate because it I cheeper than buying all the art supplies you need for traditional art. In procreate there are so much brushes to choose from plus you can make your own. There are more features but I won’t tell you, you just have to figure it out yourself buy buying procreate.
To the creator of procreate I have a question. Does the filter thing in the new update wok on an iPad mini?

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this app, but a one little thing..

Again, I adore this app!! I think I’ve had it for a couple of years now and it’s been the pinnacle of my art. I’ve never had a better program to do my art works onto until I found this app from a friend! (Even convinced me to get a new iPad with an Apple pen 👀)
But with the newer update there was one thing added I was super excited for! And that was the reference option, where you can add an image on the sidelines without actual placing it onto a layer and wasting it. But when I got to use it, I wanted to scale it down slightly since when I zoom in, it takes almost the full page, but was disappointed to find out I couldn’t do such a thing, and I just went back to placing them back onto a seperate layer. I haven’t a clue if there is an option to Scale it down since I didn’t spend as much time with it unfortunately.
But with that complaint aside, everything else is perfect!! I have high hopes for this app and it’s exceeding even my amateur expectations! Glad I’m apart of this gorgeous community and team! Thank you so much for all the things you’ve given to us.

Absolutely amazing! Would 100% recommend if you’re thinking about buying.

I’ve been using this app for almost a year now (could’ve probably wrote a review earlier) and oh can I tell you, Procreate is definitely worth buying! After buying it I got really scared thinking that it could only be a subscription, but then I figured out the magnificent truth. Fifteen dollars is so worth it. This app is great for every kind of art, whether it be cartoonish or realistic, it’s easy to do it on Procreate. Me, being a guy more into realism, really appreciates all the brushes.
Also love the animation feature that was added. I’m an animator and love doing both drawing the frames for an animation and taking photos for the frames. They’re both fun ways to animate, great ways to take up time and now I don’t have to annoy everyone else by trying to animate physical objects. “You’re messing up the lighting.” “You’re in the frame.” I’d say, but now I don’t have to. And I would like it if you added an audio feature. Taking the frames and putting them in my stop motion animation software then adding the audio can be frustrating sometimes.
Anyway I’m really appreciative to the developers of this app, glad I found it and bought it.

My thoughts on procreate

Hear me out okay? Procreate is worth it’s money and is AMAZING. Though there are some few negatives
I’m slowly using procreate since I had ibis paint, and on ibis paint they had a blurring tool. We have the option to create a blurring tool ourselves but there’s a bug in it ( I think ). When making a new brush, there’s an option for wet mix. When I go to wet mix I rise up the dilution. That create a glitchy affect to the app and sometimes doesn’t meet my expectations.
That was just a bug, this one is a recommended feature of mine. Clipping mask in groups. There are times where I want to clip two of the same clipping mask I’m using. Though when I tried to do that, it didn’t have the option.
Please take this seriously as I am a young artist with big dreams.
Thanks for reading.

Love this app!! Only one problem though..

I’ve had this app for just over a year now, and I do really love it. The brushes and canvas selections are great, there’s a ton of helpful features that make drawing with Procreate super easy and enjoyable! However, I do think that being able to undo things even after exiting the canvas would be helpful. Sometimes I’ll go to the gallery to check something else/take a break and work on something else, and when I come back, I can’t undo previous brush strokes. It’s not really a huge deal, but it can be frustrating if I want to copy a layer I already merged with another. Sometimes it’s possible to just select it and copy it like that, but if it’s on top of something else on the same layer it’s impossible to quickly get it separate.

I LOVE this app

Procreate is my main reason for having an iPad Pro. Having a mobile pro-level drawing app has motivated me to pick up drawing again and I’ve never drawn this much, because now I can do it on the couch or on the go without being tied to my desk. I started using Procreate five years ago, and the developers have steadily added more and more amazing features and I’m really excited to see what they’re going to release next. They’re also active on their forums, so it’s great to see that they actually focus their resources on the things users request most (if only they weren’t so dang secretive about upcoming releases.....).
The price is insanely fair too, so anyone who’s even remotely interested in drawing shouldn’t even think twice about getting this app.

Amazing app!

I just started using ProCreate and already I've seen a huge improvement of the quality of my drawings. For the last few years I've been using a different drawing app for iPad, and the quality just wasn't the same. I genuinely thought I was doing something wrong, but seriously, after using ProCreate, it made me realise that I really needed to get a new app. I now feel so much better about my drawings and even feel like I could start doing commissions. I'll definitely be recommending this to friends who want to draw on the iPad!
The reason I give it four stars, however, is just because there are a few things I've already noticed that could definitely use some adjusting to make using the app better. Biggest thing is the reference layer. Amazing feature, but it would be good to be able to have multiple reference layers, if that is what's necessary to be able to fill in an object in a different layer. Sometimes it just isn't practical to use one layer as a reference, especially when incorporating colour into drawings.
Second thing would be the smudging tool. It works alright, and I've been able to get the result I want so far, but I would highly recommend an actual blending tool being incorporated into the app. It would just add a quality to blending that the smudging tool can make a bit of a challenge to get.
Overall though, amazing app and I am excited to continue using it!

maybe one thing you can add?

I love this app!! it's so easy to use and suits a lot of my needs when drawing. There's many brushes, like, over 100 at least, which is better than nearly every mobile drawing app!! other programs just have the simple 6 tools on the side, which i find really annoying. the one thing that would make this program even better is if we could use the clipping mask on multiple layers.
for example say i've finished a drawing, and i wanna add some lighting or shading. i want to use the clipping mask so it fits perfectly, but i can't use it on every separate layer at the same time!! i now have to duplicate the artwork and merge every layer so i can add the shading, which is pretty inconvenient and takes up a little more storage :((
i would love if you could do something like that where the clipping mask works for all or multiple layers!! adding on to that, maybe a way where you can colour 'in the lines' without going over the lineart? i know some PC/computer programs do that and it would be pretty useful :))

Colour palette trouble

Hi, my name is Marie and I’m 15. I got into digital art a few years ago and I've just bought myself an iPad so I can use it to draw and do school work. got this app after a few friends recommended it to me and so far its been great. The only problem I've had is sometimes the colour wheel changes and the colours are dull and I cant get the colours I want. The first time it happened I deleted the app an downloaded it again but I lost everything I had drawn. Though it did fix the problem. It happened again but only when I choose the comic canvas. I've tried to change it back to the original colour wheel but nothing works. I don't know if this is the right platform to ask but I would like to know how I can change it back. I hope this made sense and you know what I’m talking about. Other than that small problem this app is fantastic.

Greatest art app ever!

This application puts adobe to shame. It’s user friendly and a powerful artist tool. I feel a little guilty that I paid my $15 aud a few years ago on my first iPad Pro and the dev’s at procreate keep supporting the app and improving it while I have upgraded to a new iPad. These guys deserve some more money for the work they’ve put into this app over the years to improve it. Unlike the thieves at adobe who charge a monthly subscription that an amateur hobbits artist like myself can not afford or justify the expense.
This app has been there through my journey to becoming a better artist and has assisted me along the way with amazing tools that give my work a level of professionalism in digital art I could only dream of.
Many thanks to the Procreate development team, you guys ROCK.
Greetings and salutations

Great App, but will there be an animation option?

This app works brilliantly for people looking to get into digital art. It runs smoothly and paired with the Apple Pencil it is the closest thing I have found to the paper and pencil drawing experience. One question I do have however, is will there ever be an animation tool? There are many apps for iOS that allow you to draw frame by frame, however none of them are as easy to use and/or give as good as results as procreate. Currently, I have to draw each frame separately in this app to make sure they are the best they can be, and then transfer each frame to a stop motion app to combine. If there was an animation tool in procreate, it would be so much easier. No other app has a drawing experience quite so crisp, and being able to do all my art and animating work in one app would be incredible. I believe making this adjustment would be very worthwhile as I’m sure many other animators agree that at the moment, in order to animate, you often have to sacrifice the quality of the work as most animating apps are mediocre at best. Thank you for your time.

Amazing but could add some things

This new update is amazing and I love it! You guys must’ve been working very hard on it and your work has paid off because everyone I’ve shown the new update to is getting procreate😃!
Though the update is awesome there are some things that aren’t working or could be added in a future update.
1) my “recent colours” isn’t working even though I have seen other people with it. It would be really helpful so that I don’t always have to use the eye dropper and it would be very useful for some new brushes I might be buying to import into procreate were the colour will come out darker then what is should as that is the brushes nature.
2) I think it would be a good idea to add some sort of way to move the background on animation assist and add a new background when animating because now if I want the background to change/move I have to keep drawing and moving it on the layers which can get tiring.
3) maybe with the water colour brushes, they could have a water animation and bleed kinda thing like in other apps but they are to expensive and don’t have as many features as this one so it would be awesome for them to be more realistic.
Other then those three things this app is the best! Thank you for working hard on the update as it is the best update and now I love procreate even more.
Thank you 😁

The definitive creators app for iPad - With one exception...

If you’re on the fence about downloading Procreate, my suggestion would be to just go for it! You’re not likely going to find the same quality or value for money experience in other apps on the App Store. Procreate is a one time purchase, full feature drawing app with included animation features. It comes with a huge selection of pre-made brushes and the ability to create and import your own alongside a broad range of brush customisation settings. To try to even include every feature that comes included in Procreate would be a challenge so, my friend, I’d recommend just jumping straight in and finding them all out for yourself.
Though, as a single critique, there is only one feature missing which would truly round out the entire creative capabilities of the app. The one thing I’d like to see the developers add is audio import and basic audio mastering support for animations. I understand this is no small task as it would require an overhaul to the current animation features, which are only quite recent themselves. I also understand that the current animation features are only a means to an end to appease any users who want to use the app to animate, as Procreate is marketed as a digital art app. Again, this being said, I as a user would like to see the app develop to accommodate as many creative individuals as possible.

A good art program, but could use a couple of fixes

I really enjoy using Procreate and plan to use it a lot more in the future, but I have run into a few problems I will state below.
- I like how your ‘stabiliser’ works, but it is very agitating when I’m doing line art. The streamline feature seems only good when using for Lettering and Calligraphy, but when I use it for line art it is very slow and when I try to use it fast it does not fit the exact from I want it to be, and the line is also still jittery.
- The fill tool is helpful when it is on the same layer but when I use it on an upper or lower layer it just fills the whole screen? If there is a way to fix this and I haven’t found it, please can you make it more clear to the users.
- Please can you add a blur tool. I don’t know if one exists besides the smudge tool, but I do not like using the smudge because it messes up my drawings a lot and tends to frustrate me.
That is all of my complications with this app, otherwise I highly enjoy using this, thank you for taking the time and patience to read this.

Animation?

Ok I can’t say how AMAZING this app is, I have no words on describing the detail and how smooth everything on it is! I have a suggestion that maybe a future option but if Procreate allowed animation, my head would EXPLODE literally, when I first found this app suggested by a friend I was mind blown, gosh I imagined what it would be with animating features! I would even buy it again for the animation add on! Unfortunately it doesn’t have it but I’m here to just say for the most of us users that a animation feature would be an over the top accent to add in the app! Thank you so much for creating it I’ve been there since a portion of the begging and no matter what this app is a winner for me! I hope one day animation will be added but until then, my head is still attached to my body 😂

New update really glitchy!!

I’ve been using Procreate for years and have never had a problem with it. It has always ran perfectly and never had any glitches with it.
When I got the new update however, I noticed at first whenever I pressed the undo button, it could take up to ten seconds before processing and actually undoing. Then the next time I went on the app, it was having a lot of trouble loading any of my drawings (including just a blank canvas) and would be sitting there for a few minutes without letting me interact with it. I could go back to the gallery while this was happening and try loading other drawings but same thing would happen.
Now it has evolved to the point where I’ll open the app and it will just stay as a plain black screen for about thirty seconds before crashing, basically not even letting me do anything. This is now happening every time I open the app.
I really love this app and have had it over three years now without any problems, but it’s really sad to see this happening to such an amazing program, so please try and fix it!

Recently glitchy

I have been using this app for months and love it but in the last week or so it has been very glitchy, which has been impacting my workflow and made the app very frustrating to use. It does not always recognise how many fingers I have on the screen so I may be tapping 2 fingers to undo something or swiping with 2 fingers to move around the canvas but it will draw instead or sometimes it will do the right function but freeze for a few seconds first. And tonight my biggest frustration was trying to go between undo and redo it was only letting me go one or two steps back and forth and freezing for a few sections each time and I was having to redo sections of my drawing because of this, which was significantly increasing my drawing time. I really hope these issues are addressed soon so I can go back to a seamless drawing experience.

amazing app although some faults. I still recommend :)

i am still pretty new to procreate, i do not have an ipad pro or apple pen. i have a cheap stylus from kmart and a 2017 ipad. it still works fine, i’d really like to hear if it would change my experience with ipad pro and apple pen though. procreate is absolutely amazing, there are a wide range of brushes, good for any style of art, i would recommend this application. it is actually quite cheap for what it offers. although sometimes i will be drawing and the next minute it has glitched me back to my home screen, is that just because i don’t have ipad pro or it is a different issue? but overall an amazing app, if you enjoy digital art, or want to get into digital art, this is the app for you. as i said, i’d like to know if it would change my experience with apple pen and i pro and why? would it be a good investment to make?

New taper or auto shape update messed up brush behavior

This is my all time favourite app, but now I’m finding it frustrating to use because the new features have effected the brush dynamics. The strokes used to be clean and intuitive for most brushes. Now there are spacing issues you have to adjust manually for a consistent stroke and the airbrushes are behaving like the gross ink brushes which seem to follow your pen around in a weird organic way, as if alive, rather than tapering off nicely so you can blend properly. I use this for work and these setbacks slow everything down. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Please do something about the brush issues.
I was so keen for tapering updates but this update hasn’t resolved any tapering issues for concept artists, just made it more vector friendly for graphic designers. Sigh.

The best drawing app for iPad hands down

I’ve been using procreate since it first came out. I didn’t do much with it at first because I had never created digital art and frankly I was lost but the support, tutorials, and intuitive interface made it easy to transition.
I cannot count the number of referrals I’ve made to ... well anyone who’ll listen... and the many times I’ve gifted the app. It is because of this app that I upgraded to an iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil - Apple and procreate- a match made in heaven.
Have there been bumps in the road along the way? Yes, but the procreate team are always on top of things - and frankly if you’re a Windows OS user like me, the bumps on this road are a walk in the park when compared to blue screen of death, expensive doorstops because you’d installed the software once too often and it is now useless..notwithstanding the irony of the screen of death’s involvement in your multiple rebuilds...
But I digress, if you’re looking for a well priced, well supported, professional drawing app for iOS- look no further. I’ve tried all the others so I could at least have an objective view on this. They all have merits, but none are (imho) as complete, polished, advanced, supported, and maintained as Procreate.

Use it every day!!

Amazing practical extremely diverse application. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to draw!!
I have had some pretty show stopping issues in the last couple of weeks though. My iPad has been intermittently failing to respond to touch input (mostly hand not Apple Pencil). I have disabled palm support as we read that your (superior) palm support fights apples in the latest iOS update, but it hasn’t helped. I’m at a loss and finding myself very frustrated. I ran a factory reset also, this didn’t fix it either although it seems to be happening with less frequency. Any suggestions to fix it or an idea on when this might be fixed through an update would be awesome. Workflow has been a lot slower since this started happening.

The best art prog on ipad

This is a really brilliant app. I’m used to drawing cartoons in a subscription based prog on a desktop and this blows it away. Like others here i bought the ipad purely to use Procreate. I love it and i love the fact it’s non subscription based and comes from Tasmania! I found the importing brush and palettes option a major plus. There are some excellent 3rd party cartoony line brushes available. Procreate doesn’t have a text option so i use one of the many text to photo apps out there. It also currently lacks a crop tool so i crop in ‘photos’. I’m using Procreate every day all day and can’t recommend it more highly. It’s never crashed or frozen on me. I can see the day is dawning when i never have to use a desktop again. A major ‘thank you’ to the guys at Savage for coming up with such a great tool.

Amazing, but frustrating.

I bought an iPad Pro specifically to get pro create, it has everything I need to get my ideas from my head to the canvas quickly and easily. Brushes are amazing and the workflow is easy and fun. However after the most recent update to version 4 the app constantly freezes whilst I’m in the middle of drawing, sometimes I will have my pen on the screen for a while wether it be colouring or doing linework and it’s quiet frustrating to lose that spontaneous idea in a matter of seconds. Not only does it freeze for about 15 seconds but it then tries to correct its mistake and starts deleting previous lines and colours that I’ve done, without being able to re-do and get this back. At first I lived with it because I love this app so much, and I still do. But recently it’s become quite impossible to use. I hope they find a fix because this app is almost perfect and I plan on using it for many years to come. That aside it’s worth every penny, just not for the impatient!
