Procreate Reviews

Ease of use, simple and easy to remember hand gesture shortcuts makes it memorable, it also allows you to personalize your setup by allowing you to buy brushes and tools and modify them if you want.

Updates do not work with earlier versions of Ipad Pro, which is a shame because tablet works as fine as the first day.

As a designer who tends to need software to draw out certain logos and images by hand (with an iPad and pen), I did like the fact that the software gave a wide range of brushes and even allowed you to create your own brushes. For the price, it has some good exporting features like animated gifs and downloadable replays of the image you were drawing as you were drawing it, which I thought was cool. Layers are easy to use, similar to Photoshop and Illustrator.

I did find that there was a bit of a learning curve with this software. There is a Procreate handbook but since I am familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator I figured I could skip the handbook and go straight to creating. I struggled with just a couple of things so you may need to take the time to reference the handbook, particularly if you're a novice.

Procreate has a lot of great tools and features.

Procreate has a pretty big learning curve. It takes a lot to get it down.

When I first started drawing, procreate had all the tools, explanations, and features for me to learn and explore my visions. This is great for beginners but also an excellent tool for personal art, drawings, or technical drawing experts. In addition, I always recommend this to others as it's only ONE payment. Most other drawing apps require monthly subscriptions. Thus, my favorite thing about this software is the low price for the fantastic features. It's worth it.

Procreate can be a bit difficult at first, and even though I've almost had the software for a year, I continue to uncover new and easier ways to illustrate things. Sometimes, you just have to google how to do something, and that's the best option.

What makes Procreate very valuable to me are the advanced design tools, resources, and price.

There are many tools available that make illustrating and photo editing easy, natural, and enjoyable. What impresses me about the design tools and features is the interface is simple, yet you can customize the tool's properties to a great extent.

Procreate has amassed a large community of designers and illustrators across social media that help others make the most out of the app. Many resources from these platforms have helped me with my workflow and improved my design and technical skills. The resources include free and paid courses, brush sets, design feedback, regular updates, and more!

The price for the app is a one-time $9.99! The fact that this app is a complete design system that costs around the same price as a whole meal at McDonald's is unreal to me. There are no ads, no subscriptions, and no tiered plans.

The few cons I would mention are the inability to render vector graphics (SVGs), the hidden secret shortcuts, the cropping of layers, and having no automatic edit history feature.

I wish you could create vectors in native Procreate. To make vectors from my Procreate designs, I encounter the tedious task of converting them in Illustrator.

I've been using Procreate for many years, yet I'm still unaware of some hidden shortcuts and gestures. I usually stumble on them going through social media. It can be frustrating because these shortcuts cannot be easily found or notified of through the app itself.

It can also be frustrating when you take a layer and move it to the side of the artboard, and the layer gets cut off.

Procreate lacks an interval editing history feature. I now make multiple copies, but sometimes I forget or realize I want to revisit a version I didn't duplicate.

I love how the quality is! I literally have tried a tons of waiting apps and so far Procreate is the best one. It lets you make motions art, have a lot of tools to paint and pencil, you can change the form of the same pencil you're using, switch to pens, paint brushes... Have a lot of different tones of colors. I just love it to be honest I don't know how to describe it. My hobby is digital drawing and graphic design with illustration and the app I use the most for it its procreate.

Its actually kinda hard to understand at first, I had to looked for tons of tutorials to understand it and I still need to look for tutorials when I want to do something in particular.

Everything. The UI is so straightforward. No complications at all when you need to work on a gif, complex animation, illustration, etc. Everything that you need and all the hand action are super easy to find/do.

I don't have a thing that I like the least on procreate. I just wish that procreate was a little bit more advanced on 3d.

It is extremely easy to use and you can achieve a very high level of outcome from it.

I would add a vector brushes library as well

Procreate is really great for iPad users. the interface is very simple and the tools are at the edge giving enough screen real estate for artists to draw on. you don't need a digital pencil to draw but it's very recommended.
it has features like palm rejection and gestures. it makes working easier and faster.

not detrimental but, it consumes more battery power than expected. due to it's palm rejection features coupled with my screen protector, it doesn't respond to finger gestures sometimes.

One of the best, most intuitive digital art app out there. I've tried a ton, and for the minimal, one time fee Procreate has, I can't recommend it more. It's amazing.

Nothing. I really truly like everything. Normally I would say maybe the fee, but this app is so good, I would feel weird about not paying a little bit to the developers, plus there would probably be ads and I love it as is.

Easy to use, it's possible to export to pdf, psd, png... makes a hand lettering art project much more easy ans is a time saver.

It requeries a lot from the batery, I need to recharge several times or keep recharging when working in a bigger project.

Procreate is very easy to use and has endless possibilities to explore. Everything is extremely customizable and makes designing easier than I’ve ever experienced before.

There is a bit of a learning curve to all of the features on procreate so it may take a little while to understand all the features it has to offer.

It is super easy to use, the interface helped me a lot to handle the app. I have been able to use it very well without problems.

I don't like the limitation of layers for when designing, drawing, animating. I hope it gets resolved soon.

As a beginner, and doing some drawing just for fun it has been a really enjoyable experience, the app is easy to use and have a lot of features that allows you to explore different styles and possibilities while drawing, have a lot of brushes to play and colors, and even options for adding palettes from a picture, layers, its just amazing.
Also, Procreate have some tutorial videos on youtube for you to learn more about how to use the app.

Since it can be considered an app for professionals, an amateur maybe cannot seize all the features that the app have without knowing some art related concepts.

I love the ability to do a huge variety of graphic design work in a single application. It has what feels like a million different pens to choose from and a ton of different things you can download and add to the app to make it even more functional for whatever you choose. Thankfully there are also a million and one different tutorials out there so you can figure out how to do what you need to do

There is a learning curve if you've never used this type of software (obviously) and it's easy to get frustrated at first until you figure things out. However, once you learn where everything is and how to use it, it is awesome.

With procreate, you can drop and drag colors from the palette to your workspace.

I am unable to think of anything I don't like about this software.

It is an excellent application that helped me very much in developing official and making distinctive logos simply

I really don't find any negatives to mention, but I hope that the tools will be developed more than that

I love the variety of brushes and having the ability to add more brushes if need be. I also love having having a digital multi-medium digital sketchbook.

The only thing that I don't like about procreate is you have to pay two separate fees ( Ipad and Iphone).

1. Best tool for design in ipad
2. It has layer feature to easily create awesome art
3. too many brushes and we can import new ones also
4. Easily create shapes
5. with apple pencil it so much great to design things

1. Need to learn things to start using
2. I have to purchase it to start using , there is no free version
3. There should be trial

The handfree artwork and feature of apple pencil pressure sensitivity provide an paperlike artwork execution. Feature speaks for itself and brushes library and custom brushes provide an good aspect which enhance the art work developments

There isn’t any such feature which may have negative aspect as applications is as expected out of an artwork software’s

Procreate has a user-friendly interface. There are many useful features for drawing, such as quickshape, which allows you to draw the shape you want, hold it, and it will transform into a perfect shape. Another useful feature is colordrop, which allows you to select any color and drag it onto the canvas to fill a specific drawing. I also like how there are numerous brush options and how color palettes and brushes can be customized.

The only thing that I don't like about procreate is it consumes the iPad’s battery life.

Procreate is very complete and full of features for drawing.

The only thing I don't like about the software is the interface of the layers, it could be more clearer.

I love the fact that I can make whatever I want with this software it’s easy to use and there is always new stuff you can learn to do whatever u want

There is nothing that I don’t like about this software becuz it has everything a person can think of

I love how the brand name ties into the product, your procreating with animation.

Not being optimized or available for Android and only Apple

Able to create detailed artwork on the ipad, without a computer. Control is great and there are a wide variety of brush strokes, adjustments, feathering, and you can even add different layers.

There is a steep learning curve to it, needs practice and would be better if the app had video tutorials for beginners.
