v4.0.16

Awesome, but there's a problem with Photo related features...

Good app, I like to use it whenever I'm too depressed/tired to draw in the non-pocket version cuz I can draw in bed :) Major problem though: Procreate Pocket cannot recieve access to Photo Album via iOS settings. It also does not request access to the Photo Album when using "insert a photo" or "use photo as reference" (note: does not apply to "photo" option when choosing canvas) This causes an issue where the app cannot open the photo menu and thus freezes. Proposed solution: make Procreate Pocket request access to photo album.

Amazing honestly!

As someone who doesn’t have an iPad and wants to move from ibis paint to a better quality drawing app, this is so good! I was hesitant after seeing the bad reviews but I seriously see no problems! I just have to get used to a new drawing app 🥲

This app is too expensive.

I bought this app thinking it was the same as the one on my iPad, but it isn't. Why is it another 10$ to buy this app on iPhone when it is the same thing?!

It’s ok

From what I can see there are decent options for various brush tools. Didn’t have what I needed though, too much faffing around and doesn’t have an option to try it out before purchasing which is irritating.
