Plz fix bugs, add a text tool and shape tool

This is the superior digital art program for iPad, but it’s missing a few fundamental features that nearly all others have to offer! I have to edit my comic pages in another app for text and speech bubbles. I would like to shortcut this step by just having a complete app. Give me proper shape tools and text tools! Selection is too much of a hassle and the auto shape function doesn’t create perfect shapes about 80 percent of the time. Though it’s a handy tool, I want a conventional shape tool as well.

Secondly, the app has been acting really weird on me lately. When I open the app, it opens a completely random file as opposed to opening me up to the main selection menu. That is annoying, but doesn’t prevent me from using the app unlike this next one.
When I add a new layer, the app freezes up and crashes. And I’m not using an excessive amount of layers, the resolution is small too. Sometimes when I’m switching from eraser back to pen or changing layers, my pen size suddenly gets ginormous. I have to undo the line and then do a scribble to fix it. It’s extremely annoying. Not very much of an inconvenience until it happens frequently enough for me to notice, and I just wish it would end bc I must have wasted accumulated hours just scribbling to fix the pen back to its proper size. The app didn’t always treat me this way, so I’m not sure what changed. But I want it to work as seamlessly as it did almost a year ago.

Hi Beef n Stuarts - Thanks so much for reaching out about this. Adding more tools for our users creating comics is something on our roadmap. However, we cannot yet make any promises which tools will be included and by what time.

The issues you're experiencing with freezes and crashes though sound quite worrying. Do you possibly have a video of these happening that you could send through to support.procreate.art? We would like to have a look into this for you. 💜

Please make an account system! READ PLZ ‼️

Listen, I absolutely love this app, it doesn't become extremely laggy at times, and it's just overall great, I could say a lot, but WHAT I REALLY WISH was in this app that would make it an amazing 10/10 is like an Account System! I've seen many artists lose their beloved art pieces because either they couldn't do backup with like iCloud or like their drawing device probably broke or whatever. Backup process could be extremely difficult to do especially when you have NO STORAGE to save anything! Listen, I would've bought more storage but I'm still a minor and obviously can't really do that. but, listen it would just really make everything so much more amazing and just relieving if there was a way to make an account so then it could save all artwork, and if you get a new device, you can log right in and receive your artwork back again without any issues. Again, I absolutely love your app, I've been using it for about three years maybe or two! But sadly I've had to delete a year worth of artwork because of this storage or backup issues, I was worrying about losing my artwork and trying to do the backup thing and only to come to a sad conclusion that I really deleted the artwork for no reason at all, I absolutely hate the 5gb iCloud does, but oh MY GODDDD I would much Appreciate it if you read this! 💗 I would greatly appreciate it too if you do actually make an account system, much appreciated! :) (please 😭)
