What Users Love About the App

“The app responds so well to my Apple Pencil when drawing. I can have different line strokes based on the amount of pressure I am putting on my iPad. The pressure feature is the best I’ve ever seen when using it.”

“This program packs a powerful punch. As a long-time photoshop and wacom user, procreate combines my love of working traditionally with the quick edits and adjustments of digital. It’s one of the most powerful tools on the market today for working on the go in an artistic medium.”

“Ease of use – I got into it literally the day I downloaded it and was able to create something I wasn’t embarrassed to show others. Nothing museum quality of course, but just being able to get something out of my head and into the world for others to see was exhilarating.”

“What I like most about Procreate is that it provides a way to make some graphics and edits without having a lot of experience. I use Procreate almost entirely for making PNGs with transparent backgrounds and it works very well. It really gives me a tool in my belt that I never had before and it’s only $10.”

“What I like best about the current application is that its interface is easy to navigate, and it integrates well with the Apple iPad Pro. The application downloads quickly, and I rarely have any issues when dealing with larger art files. It’s easy to find and upload new brushes and palettes.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I wish Procreate were on other platforms, so I didn’t have to purchase an Apple product to use it. I would like to see it on other tablets such as Samsung or even on desktop.”

“The main issue is that the program is only available on the iPad. I would love to have this on my computer. I also find that resizing the content is mediocre at best, often causing lines to go blurry.”

“I don’t like that it’s a bit finicky with the object selection tool. I use it to draw an outline around shapes in my pictures so I can use those shapes individually for my graphic. But if I am zooming in or out, if my finger slips, I have to start over on the selection which is a time waste.”

“It is difficult to create anything with pixel-perfect accuracy since this drawing app has no vector capability. The basic shapes available are also limited.”

“I don’t like that scaling any items up *or* down can result in pixilation, even if you set it to Bicubic. Additionally, I really wish that it could handle bigger working files.”
