Inspiration tends to strike when you least expect it—heck, some of our best ideas come to us in the shower—and Procreate is a dazzling way to snatch sparks of visual genius out of the ether and bring them to life. Behind the app’s slick drawing and painting tools are robust features that you’d expect from a full-fledged illustration package—it even has the ingenious ability to use your Apple Watch as a colour palette picker. If a brilliant notion does strike in the shower, though, get out and dry off.

Great but one problem

Hi cool epic love it
Hi I’m Bri I love procreate, it’s amazing but there is a little problem well 2 problems exactly, 1. There is only 7 layers aloud and I can’t get the iPad version because it requires iOS13 and on my iPad I have IOS10 (since it’s a old model and we can’t really afford a new iPad) but I need way more layers on the pocket version caz I use it to draw and animate. The second problem is that there is some brushes on the other version that aren’t on the pocket version, this really bugs me because when I call my friends we draw on procreate my friends use the other version but I use pocket since my iPad is a really old model, so I see so many cool brushes on the iPad version which are not on the pocket I am slowly moving to another drawing app because of this. So basically what I’m trying to say is that there is way better things on the iPad version and hardly any good stuff on pocket! Please fix this.

Hey! Procreate Pocket is the iPhone version of Procreate for the iPad. On an older device we can actually help you get an older version of Procreate for the iPad if you contact us via support.procreate.art. If you update to the latest version of Procreate Pocket you should be able to get the new Procreate 5 Brushes if someone sends them to you or if you contact support we can send them to you.

Disappointing- lack robust options

For someone wanting to use this on their mobile device exclusively for illustrating and design it is a very lack lustre program. I like many people learnt on programs such as photoshop and I’m used to having diverse options and a GUI that makes sense. Procreate pocket is extremely watered down. Even compared to freeware out there. I’ve started using MediBang instead as it actually has a decent GUI and allows for a lot of diversity in setting up your layers when it comes to designing. The only good thing I can say about procreate is it has the option of letting you choose the response curve of your stylus sensitivity. Other than that it’s extremely underpowered. It simply doesn’t measure up to what is exepected of a paid app. I’ve gone to using MediBangs free app exclusively now and if I could get a refund on what I paid for this app I would because it really is disappointing for the money when I can get something as good as medibang for free. FYI I have no affiliation with them, simply stating my experience when it comes to trying to find a program that suits by illustration needs

App works great on iphone, but could be better
12/02/2020

Blue Fairy Wren
I have had this app on my phone for a while and it works great and all. But when I realised it was originally an ipad app, I decided to put it on my ipad. And it insisted on having the size of an iPhone on my ipad screen which was ridiculous. So I decided to just pay for the ipad app as well, and after finally finding it, discovering it will only download on an ipad of ios 13.2 or higher. As someone with an ipad that will only upgrade to ios 12, I’m not going to get the next ipad just for this app, but I would like it, if you can either fix the sizing issue for this app, or fix the other app so it works on only slightly older versions. Besides this, it is a great drawing app, though it’s sad that a paid app can’t be compatible with something other than the “latest version”.

Developer Response
Hi Blue Fairy Wren - We're sorry to hear that you have purchased Procreate Pocket but cannot use it on your iPad. Unfortunately to keep releasing new features we need to update our iOS requirements along the way. However if you gift Procreate to yourself, you tap on the link in the email you will be sent, then you go onto your iPad and go to the App Store> your Account> Purchased> find Procreate in the list, tap the cloud icon next to it. This will give you an older version of Procreate that is compatible with your iPad. You can contact us via support.procreate.art if you would like further help with this.
