8 of 31I love this app, and I use it for all of my artwork. It is so intuitive to use, and makes it easy to make adjustments. The individual customizable brush settings are fantastic. The only complaint I have about this app, is something that was changed. Since this is a digital PAINTING app, and painting is structured and based on light, then tonal values are crucial. The color panel used to have the primary and secondary colors (the little rectangles in the upper right corner of the disc panel) right next to each other (without a gap). This makes it incredibly easy to match (modulate) the colors correctly. The gap in between takes away from this, and adds much more time, throughout each piece, to correctly modulate colors. I hope Procreate brings this back because when the 2 color boxes are touching-the modulation is noticeable immediately, and now since they are spaced it makes it impossible to match (modulate) the colors correctly this way.
Recent update causing app freezing especially when zooming in or out. Please fix.
Love everything but the name the meaning is ummm not good
Is a great drawing app and sketching whenever I’m bored I use this app and is sooo good! And I just whant we to report this to you because an app called emoji maker is copying your app is just like Procreate when I saw the add.I THINK THEY JUST WHANT MORE STARS I BELIVE!thank you so much procreate with out you guys I would be so bored thank you!
Two things that need improvement. (1) Lasso tool has a fill option. No delete option yet though. It falls behind quite frankly. Further detail: lasso tool needs to be able to make a selection, have a direct & quick option to delete the selected areas. (2) Fill tool needs to be more innovative. It’s annoying how unforgiving the color filling is, it has this inconvenient reference>layer system. Needs to be able to adjust how whole file is being colored with different fill options and adjustments, not just sliding the bar and hoping there’s more than whole canvas being filled vs nothing. The lasso is more important though, please.
Amazing love it I would definitely recommend it
I don’t know if it’s just me or it’s everyone’s problem with this app because every time i draw, it crashes a lot when i use it for more then like 30 minutes. So it’s not my ipad but the app but what also happens is my music glitches out too.
Developers are great with customer service and quick with response. They helped with the brush issues, thank you!
