Good , but please add

Procreate is really good, everything is neat and easy to find, but could you add lasso fill tool? It makes my art better and while suction tool is good, lasso fill is definitely easier to use

Very nice app!

I love this app and have been using it for a few years now! It is very fun and I love all the features that are added :3 the fact that I can add photos without watching adds and animate is also nice! I’m so proud of the drawings I’ve created with it, thanks to all the tools but the price is a bit high and there are a few bugs. I have gotten around them, though, and had a great time using procreate!

good but a brutally honest review.

Procreate is good, I’m a previous ibis user, so I won’t complain about the controls or anything, procreate doesn’t take up much space, and is very high quality, also allowing me to delete time lapse data, something other art apps don’t let me do. but. I feel like procreate is very underwhelming coming from a ex-ibis user, there are not many filter options available, the brush exporting is complex, finding brushes takes forever and I know i said I wouldn’t complain about the controls, thats one me, but trying to use the selection tool and water bucket is the most difficult thing ever. sometimes its easy and then it’s not In all honesty I find myself going back to ibis to edit images, art or even tools that are more efficient and easier. I’m not saying procreate is bad, it has its pros, but I’m finding myself only really using procreate for sketches, and ibis for more complex projects. and sometimes I’m even considering regretting paying tor this app. I’m really really not trying to be mean or rude here, I just think the app is very underwhelming when I was expecting more variety, especially if I had to pay for this app. I have also seen long time procreate users wanting more filter options, easier controls and easier ways to export brushes. I’m not saying you guys should be like ibis, but adding more options, tools and efficient ways to work with art would help. I do not want to quit procreate even if I find it underwhelming, there was clearly a lot of love put into this app, and i find my artwork looks MORE better, but the process of drawing however is hell for me, the colouring and sketching is fine, but the other tools are time consuming for me, and again, the lack of more variety in filters and slow process in other tools sucks. I just want to feel relaxed when open a canvas to draw a piece, but instead I’m spending more time trying to move layers, trying to use the colour bucket tools, trying to select areas, then the actual sketch itself. essentially, I want to see the app improve. I really do appreciate the effort into this app, but me and many MANY others want to see new features, updates on tools and new tools. I’m sorry if I’m being rude.

bad

I do not like this app because I can’t delete it I can only hide it but when I hide it I still have it. I rate it zero stars.
