What’s New

Version 5.3.14

You asked (a while ago) and we've listened! Not only can you Group, you can now even Ungroup. Tap the Layer Group to find it in the Layer Options menu.
This update also brings a multitude of bug fixes.

• Importing large PDF files into the Gallery will no longer cause a crash.
• The secondary component of a Dual Brush will display at the correct size when Dynamic brush scaling is toggled off.
• Repeated crashing of the Colour Panel caused by errant palettes will no longer interrupt your flow.
• Merging down on a Clipping Mask when Animation Assist is active won’t close the app.
• The Remove function in Selections is now removing instead of adding.
• Things will continue to run smoothly if layers are dragged from a large canvas into another artwork.

Work on our next major update is well underway and it's all about everyone's most important tools; brushes.

I desperately want this to be as good as desktop apps

As an artist the portability of being able to draw and create on the go is very appealing. Procreate is so close to being perfect as a substitute for desktop apps such as Photoshop, it’s just missing integral features that make the desktop setup much more efficient, and make me go back to using my desktop setup even if it’s less enjoyable than Procreate.

The small yet time saving features I desperately want added are an ability to customise the colour tab, I want to be able to change the colour circle to a colour triangle, and to add h/s/b to the colour square tab. As well as the ability to quickly view my artwork in black and white, Photoshop has the ‘proof setup’ feature where you just press a hot key to view the image in b&w, this seems minor but is such a time saver. Also being able to use Procreate on my Mac, either through my iPad as a drawing tablet, or using a separate drawing tablet such as a Wacom, the relatively small screen real estate of an iPad compared to a desktop is significant.

I want to love Procreate, and I want to be able to use it for everything, but without these features I am unable to.

Developer Response ,

Hey there - thank you for using Procreate, and for the great feedback that we can consider when making future changes to the software. We can definitely see the value in having a proofing option, among the other things you've mentioned. We'll do our best to improve Procreate even further in the future. 😇

Amazing app! Definitely worth it!

I have only been using this app for less than a year, but it's been amazing the whole time!
Starting off, I was terrified that the price was like a subscription at first, but then I found out it was only a one time pay, which is great for my convenience! I heard about it, and when I heard it included art AND animation, I just had to get it! It has heaps of features, and all the brushes are great to use. Even though everything is great and awesome quality, there's a little bit of critical feedback I'd like to give as well (all though I don't think it should take down a single star!). With the animation, I feel as if it would be nice to add an audio feature. I understand why you wouldn't add it in or anything, the app already has a lot of options. But I'd say a lot more people would buy it if it had audio in the animations! That's the only reason I switch to FlipaClip in animation. One more thing is the fill bucket. I enjoy how fancy it is, and how much easier it is the fill a specific spot. But in some ways I believe the traditional
"tap to fill" bucket works better. But I don't think that really matters, since the whole app is amazing anyway. I used to use ibisPaint, a free drawing app, and I can say that ever since I got Procreate I only made my digital art there. So many things I love about this app, and I'm overall so happy that I bought it!

Hey there - thank you for the lovely review of Procreate! Thank you very much for the kind words, and for the feedback regarding how we could potentially improve animation. ✌️
