I LOVE this app genuinely so much and I love the amount I can make and do, I can work so nicely but wish there were more tools, I wish specific selection could be symmetrical and I think more than one reference window open at a time would be AMAZING, I am working on commissions and I hate switching between tabs because I want to see both at once so I can ensure it looks right from afar :’) it’s way to tedious having to switch back fourth so PLEASE add an extra reference window option!

I have been playing procreate for so long now! It is the best way for younger kids to explore the amazing art you can do, and older kids + adults to just create amazing pieces! I also love the features you can do, like pinch the drawing! It’s also a great app to enjoy on airplanes or none internet car rides. I especially use it during those times! Thanks procreate! I love this app so much! Now I’m gonna go use it right now:)

I absolutely love this app. I draw on it all the time but I’m the kind of person to come back after months to a piece. It’s a little inconvenient coming back and having no idea what brushes I used on it. I would suggest maybe putting a brush history in the canvas information? I think that would help a lot of people.Otherwise, I absolutely recommend this app!

Hi Kina! Thanks for leaving us an amazing review. You can currently see your previously used brushes in the Recent tab in your Brush Library. We will also be happy to note down your suggestion!
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.
