I love the app
Solid applesauce
I do enjoy the brushes and controls but there is one thing that I would like to add to and it would be to increase the amount of options for the Timelapse I would love if there were more time lengths to choose from like 1 minute or like 5 minutes just so for drawing that took more time to have a option to be shorter but still retain it's follow ability while still being able to be shorter and faster also the addition of vector layers would help tons when needing to to resize something

The (1) Organizational Feature I Still Need
DragonStar7Queen
This has been my absolute favorite digital art program for years now— every update adds more functionality and tools for me to streamline my process and explore new and unusual ways to create. The one and only thing I wish Procreate could do that it currently cannot, is to stack art files INSIDE an existing stack. Even if it could only be done one folder deep, the ability to do that would be a godsend for keeping my larger scale projects organized and navigable.

WORTH THE MONEY!!
ilovefoxesss
i love this drawing app like no other. i admit, if you are starting art here, use freeform or any other free app until you get the hang of it, then move to procreate. it takes a bit to get used to but it i used it as a starter and i caught on pretty quickly! trust me, the money is worth it!! no subscriptions either, but the “procreate dreams” is there. you only get it if you click on the procreate logo. besides that, everything’s absolutely so easy to find! never doubted this app , never will.
