Pro create Dreams is an amazing app However there is a wee bit of bug fixing to do. But even with these bugs I don’t understand why it has such rubbish reviews when it’s a pretty awesome animation app even with all of these bugs. (Probably should make a tutorial though cuz a bunch of people will get very stuck on where all the settings and stuff is)
Almost perfect
This is literally the best animation app on iPads sadly it’s almost the best since the lack of lasso tool at least imo it is
The worst and Apple refuses to refund
Do not purchase this app. There is no trial. It’s an expensive risk you take. It does not work well and Apple refuses to refund. I contacted the developer and they can’t help either.
Very disappointing
The app has potential, and we were promised a lot but delivered an incomplete project. Not worth purchasing as it currently is and have requested a refund. It might be better later in the year.
Needs more features
We need a transform tool in Drawing mode (on the top left like in regular procreate), onion skin frames when you are transforming, and also making drawing shapes easier (like in procreate where you draw a line and hold it there and it makes it straight). Otherwise great app!
Potential
Dreams has potential to be a great app for simple animation but it currently lacks a great deal of tools and configuration settings which are standard in Procreate. There are also some strange brush rendering issues depending on the zoom of the camera.
I have faith the app will do great, procreate is great at simplifying artistic programme tools and making them very conventional and user friendly - but I believe currently it would benefit from the selections/actions/adjustments toolbars and user interface which Procreates standard app contains.
If this app functioned exactly like Procreate with all the animation timeline benefits, I think it would be a perfect app.
Blurry brush
No lasso or liquify tool, also in a previous review I said when you paint while zoomed out the brush strokes are blurry, you guys said it’s expected but in procreate this doesn’t happen, let me elaborate, when you zoom out in procreate and your canvas gets smaller, brush strokes you do also are smaller relative to how far you’ve zoomed out making it so that if you make a brush stroke when zoomed in or zoomed out they are both the same size because the brush stroke changes size relative to the canvas changing size, now in dreams, it doesn’t get bigger or smaller depending on how zoomed in or out your canvas is, as a result the brush strokes get bigger and blurrier relative to the size they are supposed to be the more you zoom out, they also get smaller the more zoomed in you are, this shouldn’t be expected since this doesn’t happen in procreate, the only thing that should affect the size is changing the brush stroke size
I need help
Whenever I try to draw something on Procreate dreams the content only goes to 1 ms and I don’t know why I have to manually size it and I see so many other people not having to manually size it so what’s the problem
refund
can i have a refund
App has a lot of potentials but still in a buggy state
I managed to animate with the app but in a hacky way. I would say that it is decent but might need to wait for few updates for it to show its full potentials..
First of, keyframing was a bit messy, there are times I couldn’t add a keyframe. Sometimes i will delete but it will revert back by itself. There are times there will be 2 layers of keyframing in a track which confused me a lot and it was messing around with my workflow.
Second, some parts are not very user friendly. Adding the onion skin setting on the timeframe doesnt even make sense. Also for some reason it is not working either.
Third, undo and redo button is missing, glad i know what is the shortcut for undo from procreate but it is a pain not having the redo button
Fourth, you guys added the drawing function, at least add the picker? But i am guessing it may be not part of mvp and thinking that users will still use procreate to draw
Fifth, i hate how the timeline zoom in and out. It would be great if there is a way to lock it because you can easily get lost when it zooms in.
Sixth, you cannot export to a gif file which is weird not to have for an animation app
I know there are lots of negative on first release but if there will be updates regarding on addressing these then that would be great. Thanks for making this app
