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 color palette picker. If a brilliant notion does strike in the shower, though, get out and dry off.
Text glitch
ISILDUR666
This is by far the best drawing app on any portable device. It’s completely replaced everything. With that being said, this new update has a glitch in the text. If you write something in text then later tap to edit, it’ll boot you off the app. Text layers can’t be modified after they’re created. Thanks again, for the amazing app! I’m sure you guys will get it fixed soon, just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Best Drawing app just a small issue

Ive seen my uncle use this app a LOT back when I was younger but when I got my own phone to download I saw no actual setting to make shapes without having to draw them. It would be nice if you could any shape in an instant instead of drawing it and holding your finger/pencil. Other than that this is by far the best app for drawing and the 6 dollar price tag is giga worth

You know switching from ibis paint to procreate was pretty easy! I love how smooth it is and that I have a great choice of brushes to use without ads! But I have a habit of screening in and out, fast whenever I need to fix something in my drawing but the canvas kept going full screen. I searched it up and I figured it out but it gets kinda annoying, but I work through it! Wish there was a mechanic to turn it off, otherwise great drawing app!
