I love procreate so much! In my country it is 36 dollars, but it is so worth it! I am still getting used to the digital art, and I am getting the Apple Pencil for my birthday! Cause my parents are convinced that I can be a great artist when I grow up!! I Love this so much, but one problem I had were that some brushes were missing for example like the “Damp brush”I looked every were in the brush sections but it was no where some of my friends that also have procreate have got the “Damp brush” that was all my concerns for now! But overall 5 out of 5 it is such a great app! And I recommend u to install it!

Procreate is awsome! I’m having so much fun using this as an artist, I can do jelly style and a lot more! 10/10 would recommend to whoever’s reading this. But however everytime I try writing on a new layer it kicks me out of procreate. Luckily I bought a new iPad and it worked I had an old iPad generation so I don’t think it works on old iPad’s, iphone’s etc. But overall it’s great so much better than drawing on paper!

Super awesome! I use this daily for drawing whatever. Big range of pens which don’t need downloading or premium or any other things some other drawing apps would want. Only complaint is that it’s kind of expensive where I live but oh well, I don’t care. It was worth it!
Developer Response
Hey zenjiax - Thank you for loving Procreate. 💕🪴 We're sorry to hear that you found Procreate a little expensive. It is a one time payment of $9.99USD with no in-app purchases so you won't have to pay for anything else in Procreate now. That money goes towards us being able to continue to develop and provide free updates and support for users.
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.
