"Nice and Clean Overall"
The layout is clean and easy on the eyes, which I appreciated. A few buttons took me a little while to find at first, but once I got used to it, things felt smooth. I’d say it’s worth trying if you don’t mind a tiny bit of exploring in the beginning

"Really fun to see it happen"
I love watching my drawings come together after, it’s just really cool seeing it all turn into something. Makes the whole process feel more fun for me.

"Really liking the new updates"
The new updates just feel really smooth overall. I can’t point to every little thing, but it all feels better and I’m genuinely happy with it.

"Better than I expected, even if I keep waiting for a catch"
I keep finding new things I didn’t notice at first, which is great. I’m usually quick to spot what’s missing or what could be annoying, and I still have a few small nitpicks, but overall it’s been a surprisingly good experience.

"Got It Working, Even Though I Was Confused"
I was a bit confused trying to get procreate to restore on my iPad. I couldn’t tell if the issue was with my Apple account, the app, or something I was doing wrong. I emailed support and, to my surprise, they got back to me quickly. They explained everything in simple, normal language instead of some generic copy-paste reply, and gave me a few steps to try. I followed them and it worked. Super helpful team, no hassle, no endless back and forth. Definitely 5 stars from me

"Procreate has become a dependable part of my workflow"
I use Procreate almost every day for client sketches and early concept work, it’s been really reliable for me. It fits naturally into my workflow, especially when I’m moving files between my iPad, Dropbox, and then into Photoshop or Illustrator if I need to take things further. It’s not perfect, and I do think the file organization could be a bit better, but overall it saves me a lot of time. For quick ideas, clean roughs, and sending clients updates without overcomplicating the process, it’s something I’ve come to trust.

"Surprisingly Handy Undo"
I’m totally calm about this, obviously, but the two-finger undo is so easy to use. It just feels natural, and I may or may not be a little too pleased every time it works.

"Great app, but the color stuff still bugs me"
I like procreate a lot and use it often for drawing, so overall I’m happy with it. The color picker is nice, and being able to save colors is definitely useful. But then the palettes kind of throw me off sometimes. They feel a little messy and not as quick to manage as I expected, which is weirdly frustrating for such a smooth app. It’s not a dealbreaker or anything, and maybe I’m just being picky, but I do wish the color tools felt simpler and less cluttered.

"I’ve been using Procreate and found…"
I’ve been using Procreate and found it easy to pick up, even without sitting through a bunch of tutorials. Most of the tools are right where I expected them to be, and the gestures feel really smooth once you get the hang of them. The only small thing is that a few settings are kind of tucked away, so I had to tap around a bit to find them. Still, overall it’s a really solid app 👍

"It does the job fine for…"
It does the job fine for the most part, but exporting layers and different formats can be such a pain sometimes. I just wish it felt more straightforward instead of having to fuss around with settings when I’m already trying to get something finished...

"Really smooth and stress-free to use"
I’ve been using Procreate on my iPad Air with the Apple Pencil, and it just feels really good to draw on. Everything runs smoothly, my files open fast, and I haven’t run into any weird device problems so far. That’s a big deal for me because when I’m in a creative mood, the last thing I want is tech getting in the way. It’s been reliable enough that I actually feel relaxed and happy using it.

"Layers Finally Clicked for Me"
At first, layers took me a little while to wrap my head around, but once I got the hang of grouping and clipping, my drawings started feeling way less chaotic. Reading between the lines, it’s one of those features that seems small at first but quietly makes a huge difference. Now I pretty much rely on it every time I draw.

"Actually worth the hype"
I usually roll my eyes when apps are talked up like they’re some magical creative breakthrough, because that polished company-style hype always makes me suspicious. But I grabbed Procreate after seeing a bunch of actual artists use it, and yeah, it’s genuinely good. Sketching just feels easy in it. The brushes are solid, and there are so many free tips and brush packs floating around from the community that I didn’t feel stuck. The gestures took me a little while to get used to, but now they feel natural. worth it.

"The Apple Pencil is ridiculously responsive. I didn’t…"
The Apple Pencil is ridiculously responsive. I didn’t notice any weird lag at all while sketching, which makes drawing in Procreate feel super smooth and natural. It’s like the line shows up the instant I think about drawing it.

"Easy to Sort, Even When I Feel Buried"
I can sort my drawings quickly, and finding old files is usually simple. when I’m stuck dealing with tons of projects and feel kind of trapped in all the folders, it’s a relief that this doesn’t make things harder. I haven’t had much trouble with it so far.

"Smooth and Easy for Casual Sketching"
For the kind of stuff I usually do, quick sketches and small little paintings—these brushes have been really nice. They feel smooth, easy to control, and they blend without me having to fuss with them too much. I’m not sure how they’d hold up for more detailed or professional work, but for my everyday use, I’ve been happy with them.

"Totally worth paying for"
I’ve been really happy with this app. It’s not perfect, but for a one-time fair price, it gives you a ton of useful tools without pushing some annoying subscription. I use it on my iPad all the time, and it’s easily been one of the better app purchases I’ve made.

"Smooth and easy to use"
Well... I’ve been using procreate for a while now, the speed is one of the things I really like about it. Brushes load fast, the canvas moves smoothly, and I don’t run into annoying lag even when I’m working on bigger drawings. It just makes it easy to stay in the flow without constantly waiting around. I’m happy with it.
