What’s New
Version 1.0.12
It’s time to let loose with the new Apple Pencil Pro in Procreate Dreams.
This update has something for everyone! Lens Blur introduces a new way to create beautiful camera focus effects and bokeh, while brush cursor provides a way to make your strokes more precise than ever.
Procreate Dreams now supports barrel roll, squeeze and haptic feedback for Apple Pencil Pro, with features and functionality designed to reinvigorate your creativity.
Performing with barrel roll
With Performing, you can create animations by recording your actions while the movie plays. Now with barrel roll, you can move and rotate your object at the same time. You can switch this off in Movie Settings → Preferences.
Brush response with barrel roll
Use drag and drop to import your favourite Procreate brushes customized with barrel roll into Procreate Dreams.
Squeeze
Experience an uninterrupted workflow by using squeeze to play and pause your movie while you create and edit. Use squeeze with Loop Screen on your Timeline to keep you in the zone. You can switch this off in Movie Settings → Preferences by tapping on the Movie name.
Haptic feedback
Haptic feedback provides a more tactile experience when editing on the Timeline. Try trimming your content and feeling it snap to match other content.
Brush cursor
This well-loved Procreate feature is now available in Procreate Dreams. Use brush cursor to see the shape of your brush as you draw. With hover you can see a full color preview of your brush when painting, and a preview of what will be removed when erasing. Brush cursor settings can be personalized in Movie Settings → Preferences.
Lens Blur live filter
Add realistic bokeh and camera focus effects to your animations. Tap the Playhead and choose Filter → Lens Blur. Available on M1, M2, and M4 iPads. Please note, any files created in this version of Procreate Dreams cannot be opened in previous versions.
Recent undo steps
As well as customizing the total number of stored undo steps, you can now choose how many are distributed throughout your document history. Increase the Recent undo step percentage in Movie Settings → Preferences to keep as many of your latest actions as possible.

Ratings and Reviews
Not awful, but could use some things to fix it up.
Ive had this app for not too long now, and its really not as bad as people say it is. Tho there are a few areas and features that can be added and fixed up to improve its score. First thing, is a lasso tool. It could really help with tweaking artwork and sketches and change around certain areas for movement and placements. Second, add symbols and vector brushes. I know this is more of a hand drawn type of animation software, but i think it could be better to use symbols for some repeated types of animation and could also be a cool way to add rigged animation characters and could make tweening and movements easier for some users. Third, make the interface more accessible and easier to find. Like for example, onion skins and maybe an effects tool like base Procreate. And maybe make it so you can use the transform tools on the canvas like in flipbook mode and dont make the entire canvas be covered up and only show the camera area when using transform. Fourth, make it so people can have a certain set of preferences and settings default for every projects, like their onion skins, bg colors, etc. and have it be able to default. I think it would be cool to have it more customizable and easier to make comfortable for people to use and tweak to their likings. But overall, this app has a lot of potential and i could see it becoming a possible industry standard app! Keep it up!
Great Potential, Though Currently Underbaked
If you’re looking to buy this app expecting a plethora of features from the original to carry over, please don’t. This app more or less feels like a fresh start, possibly needing years before catching up to the full utility of the original. While this was not totally unexpected and I understand the difficulty of making this kind of app alongside high expectations, it still feels a bit too far behind from what it could’ve been. While I’m sure they’re working on some updates to flesh it out a little more for the time being, I doubt it will be enough to suddenly make up for all the caveats with using this app. I would only suggest buying this if you want to support the developers and start learning how to use it early, it is also admittedly a comparatively low cost of entry for what it may offer in the future. I want to rate it 5 stars and I look forward to what the devs make of it, I don’t want to sway people from giving it a shot. I just can’t ignore the occasional freezes/crashes, lack of core features from the original app (can’t customize brushes, no automatic shapes or line assist from what I can find, limited to no select/transform tools, and the list goes on).
TLDR; buy it if you want to support the devs and try it early, don’t buy it if you feel unwilling to put up with it in its beta-like state.
They got rid of several essential features and I want them back
I love the idea of making a separate procreate app just for animation. Typically I would make several small animations and then edit them all together with another platform which is why I had no hesitation getting this app. I figured it was the same thing but with farther animation capabilities, I was wrong. My first issue was when you go into the drawing part, the animating board shrinks. Its pretty big and at first I thought you could just swipe it to the side. You can’t. Next thing is there is no redo button as far as I’m concerned. In procreate there are two buttons on the side: the undo and the redo, although you can also undo by tapping on the screen with two fingers. In procreate dreams you can only undo by tapping the screen with two fingers and either I don’t know how to do the redo or it just doesn’t exist. This seems harmless in a way, but I can’t draw with resting my hand on the screen which is commonly mistaken for the undoing action. Another thing about the redo button is that a lot of times I don’t like how I drew things so I rapidly spam undo although when you do that it goes back way farther than it should and once again, no redo button. They also got rid of the feature to move and adjust stuff. Very annoying. You also can’t liquify or merge down. Another thing is that I can’t add music as it has to be a file and saving a file on an ipad is beyond my knowledge.
Developer Response ,
Hey addinton - thank you for the review of Procreate Dreams. We have some good news. You can Redo by tapping *three* fingers on the Stage at the same time. We are also planning to build out Undo and Redo buttons, and also the ability to select and move items independently on the Stage area. Thank you for the feedback! Also, if you notice that you are accidentally Undoing too much, try tapping on the title of a Movie on the left, after loading into it. In here, tap Preferences, then reduce your Stored Undo Steps, or drag your Rapid Undo Delay slider all the way to the left to disable it. 🙏
