Great but could use an account feature

The app is great but if you allowed having an account feature, you wouldn’t lose all your designs if you change your Apple ID or get a brand new IPad

For one time purchase, it is the best app I've used for my drawings. The files will save automatically and the interface is very easy to use. For future improvedments, it would be great if the smudge tool could perform better instead of pushing the colours. And I would absolutely love it if you could implement AI prevention filter for the exported drawings!

AMAZING 🤩

I love pro create it’s an amazing app and I highly recommend it! You definitely get what you payed for. I have been using it for two years now and my brother 6 and we both are obsessed, if you want to get better at drawing and making your art better must download and buy procreate.

No sound for animation.

I know procreate dreams exists, but I do think that there should be an option to import a sound into regular procreate. Also, the frames count as layers, which is not fun when you are making a proper video. I hope this finds you well!

Kinda good

Procreate is an awesome app with the capability to mimic many art forms, it’s really good especially for beginner digital artists but I’ve noticed over the years it’s becoming more and more glitchy, slow and generally just degrading. I’ve gone through 2 devices using procreate so I know it’s not my device. The app is becoming quite buggy.

Very nice

Once i understood how to use it, I found out it is so much fun! It is simple to understand and easy to learn. My friend has procreate dreams but I dunno how to use it. I prefer the simple standard version because it can do so much. It suggest getting it because getting used to it is very simple and easy.

Love the app

But when trying to redownload it after uninstalling the app, its asking for payment, and I’m not paying for the same app twice, as much as I enjoy it.

It’s ok

Great app but exporting feature needs improvement. I’m experiencing very long delays when exporting files and sometimes it just doesn’t export at all. Sometimes it tells me I need to sign into the app that I’m trying to export too when I’m already signed in. Another thing which is a MAJOR… we need the ability to export as vector files. This is a major reason why I use Fresco.

I really love this app yet I have a problem with importing photos, it won't allow me to upload photos to references or the drawing, I've tried reloading the app multiple times but it won't work. :(
