Great app but no updates
Been using Procreate for 3 years, the app is great. My only problem with it is the lack of updates. For example, editing a selection, such a basic function does not exist and I saw many are asking for it. I would like to see some improvements from time to time.
A little request
I enjoy this app very much, it is the reason I purchased my ipad and apple pen and ultimately switched all my defices to apple. I would love to see more option to symmetry radial (more lines, up to 12 would be amazin). Thank you for such an amazing experience!
Troubles with my Apple Pencil
When i tried to use my Apple Pencil in Procreate, the brushes were all almost transparent. but when i draw with my zoopie there is no problem. fix this.
Great
Great variety of brushes,picking up pressure and useful tools
Bug not fixed
I have left a 4 star review some time ago with only one complaint about the app. The fullscreen preview of artworks (pinch out with two fingers) is buggy (laggs and freezes). The reponse was that this is known and that it will be fixed soon.
This was around 6 months ago. Problem still exits.
So I'm going to rate this one star lower now. 3 stars.
WOW.

A good app that tries to do too much and excels at little
I’ve written this review once and it magically disappeared, it seems. No worries, here we we go again.
Let me start with the obvious. Procreate is a good app, it’s good for rough sketching, it’s generally smooth, there are a ton of custom brushes made by the community. But that’s about it.
Painting in Procreate is another story, it feels clunky as Hell, there is no way to customize the keyboard shortcuts, the lasso tool is a lazy joke, there is no marching ants visual guide for selections, the palm rejection kinda works, but not always, and quite a few other small things which make this a clunky experience compared to other products on the market.
The scarcity of updates and lackluster improvements once those small updates drop do not add to the overall experience. It’s been over one year since my original review, but absolutely nothing has changed.
Just go with ArtStudio Pro and never look back. The only extraordinary thing about Procreate is the huge amounts of money they have invested in marketing to arrive at such amounts of hype. Probably they’ve been the only option at some point, but that’s no longer the case.
I am copy pasting this review into my inbox, so i don’t have to write it again in case it suddenly disappears again.
And please don’t bother with one of those politically correct corporate replies inviting me to your forums to find more about your app. I know your app inside out, as I know all the other apps out there. Thank you.
Bad, very bad
Bad, especially the bucket tool sintem is awful, the blneding is harder than ever and you cant even select things right because there will always be white picxels unselected, you cant shade good u dont even have a giod shading brush, and everything else work awfull, they dont even try to fix these peoblems they just add more.
Can’t move layers on ipad 7
The layers just bug on eachother whenever I try to move one. All the time. I can’t draw like this. I work with 5 layers usually, my ipad works pretty well, please fix this bug
Edit: It may be an iPad os bug, after I updated it to the latest software, it works just fine
The best art app
This is the best art app I've ever found. It's pretty cheap for what you can do on it I recommend it
