Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
Behind this app’s slick drawing and painting tools are robust features that you’d normally expect from a fully fledged illustration package – it can even use your Apple Watch as a colour picker.
Amazing
This app is arguably one of the best art apps that I’ve ever had. It is much easier to create custom brushed on here then on IbisPaint, and I absolutely love the ability to create custom pallets from images in your camera roll.
However, my one small criticism is the lack of a tutorial. It wouldn’t be too hard to add a basic tutorial on the users first canvas to show things such as where to find the selection tools, how to use colour palettes, and of course, the fill tool that I completely forgot existed until I saw it on Tiktok. This tutorial should be optional of course, in case anyone had already owned the app on a previous device, or had owned the full Procreate app on their tablet device.
So yeah, I love this app to bits. Completely worth the money, but a basic tutorial would bring this to 5 stars.
Developer Response ,
Hey Ciara - thank you for the review of Procreate Pocket! We definitely appreciate this feedback, and we can consider adding an in-app tutorial in the future. For now, we have the Procreate Pocket Handbook (https://procreate.art/handbook/pocket/introduction/) which might help with users who see this review, in terms of learning the software.
Some glitches
A few weird things happened when i was working on a project. The app store wouldn’t let me download procreate itself for some reason, so I was reliant on this. I usually use that, but at one point I deleted it cos I needed a lot of memory , and It didn’t come up on the app store as available. When I put together two different images from different photos to blend them, the previously clear smooth lines became immediately pixelated and jagged. It looked awful. Had to abandon one section of the design as a result, reverting to before they were combined. There was another glitch too that seemed to happen, that the project froze and couldn’t then be used. I managed to fix that at one point, but at another I had to screen shot my project and start working again from the screenshot (luckily at that point it didn’t matter for me to do that). Happily now the app store is allowing me to use an older version of Procreate that I used to use before. I think those glitches are probably fixable by the developers, but it made spending £5 on it a bit frustrating, when I actually just wanted my old version of Procreate back. I was running it on my ipad so that may be why it happened...
Developer Response ,
Hi Miss Talulah – It seems that you were experiencing quite a few issues using Procreate Pocket on your iPad. We don't recommend that you use Pocket on the iPad as it is specifically designed and optimised for the features that the iPhone has.
For pixellation issues like that we recommend checking that your Interpolation mode isn't set to Nearest Neighbour, but rather Bilinear or Bicubic. You can fins this in Actions> Transform.
