Hello, I’ve been using Procreate as an artist for over two years and I’m really enjoying using it. Every sketch and every piece of art is an amazing experience, and I don’t regret purchasing this app. The only problem is that when you try to upload your image from gallery, the app freezes. In order for it to function again, you need to reopen it, but the problem occurs again. Please, fix this bug. And by the way, I’m using iPad Air 5, so I don’t think that the problem is in the device itself. ❤️ Thank you.
Developer Response
Hey there - thank you for your review of Procreate. If you're experiencing trouble when inserting images, you might be running into an issue that occurs when you minimise Procreate while the Photo picker is open. Try ensuring that you select to import an image without switching between apps. If this doesn't help, please reach out to us via procre.at/support and we'll assist further. 😄
Love this app

The application is excellent, I highly recommend it to illustrators!But unfortunately there was a bug - when you try to insert an image from the gallery and you need to scroll down the gallery a little, the application freezes and no button is working . You have to restart the application and do everything again and the error may repeat. This error occurs not only if the image you need is among the last added, but in all other cases it happens very, very often.I would be glad if you’ll fix this bug!Anyway, thanks to the developers for this awesome illustrator software! 🫶🏻My device model is iPad Pro (11-inch) (3rd generation)iPad OS version - 16.5 (latest)Procreate version - latest

Fix the bugs

I love this app, even during quarantine, I don’t get bored thanks to quarantine, but right now, I decided to make a comics, but something happened to the colors! I can’t pic any color I want, when I want the juicy red, it gives me orange, some colors are lighter, when I insert a photo it still changes its colors, if it’s only happening to me, can you please tell me how to fix that!?
Developer Response
Hey Surishona - Are you accidentally using a CMYK Color Profile? You can check this in Actions> Canvas> Canvas Information> Color Profile. You probably want to select sRGB when you are creating a New Canvas. 💙 Let us know via support.procreate.art if you need further help with this.
OK. We went too far. This update sharpens the corners of your Gallery thumbnails. It also calms down the height of Animation and Page Assist and fixes an issue in 3D painting where you couldn't import meshes without normals.
Remember that all your custom brushes are available in the Classic Library by pinching the brush panel, or tapping the Procreate Library title.
