Too much lag
I remembered that I was going to start my animation it kicked me off the second I was going to do so, your app is great but if you fix that one bug you can achieve my 5 star.😁

Not for animation
Good for most stuff but caps animation frames. Mine capped at 250, which is barely 20 seconds.

Nice app! + Comment on Stacks
I love the simplicity of this drawing app, and that it’s a one time purchase with no ads!
However I noticed that the Stack feature could use improvement. There doesn’t seem to be a way to remove artwork from a stack?? It’s sort of a nitpick but it’s come to bother me enough to write a review.

Uhm..
The mecanics are terrible there’s no tutorial on how to use it either. I just bought it today thinking it would be a bit like how it is on iPad but no. If it were a bit more like the original version it’d be more enjoyable to use but now it feels more like a waste of money.

Procreate Pocket
This is a great app, i just have one suggestion. It would be so helpful if there was an undo and redo button. If you added this, it’s a guaranteed five star app.

By far the best art app
When I first heard that procreate only supported iPad’s I was a bit disappointed at first. But when I looked for it on my phone I said “Take my money now!” By far one of the best things I did.
There are a few stuff I would like to see implemented to the iPhone version from the iPad procreate, but the main one is the animation feature.
Other than that I love this app!

Amazing but not the best
Procreate pocket is amazing it’s awesome but in my opinion the normal iPad version is way better I also understand what procreate pocket is trying to be but it just can’t be that way and it’s not even procreates fault it’s just that phones are small to draw on and I feel like it’s hard to draw but good overall

It’s GREAT- but.
I do love procreate really, i used ibispaintx for a few years before purchasing procreate and it’s honestly great there is just a few issues that bother me though and some things i wish that were added onto here :,) It would be great if there were good pixel art brushes on here instead of having to lower ur canvas size and ruin the quality and make it harder to work with- and it would be great if there was a pixelation effect too to pixelate the layer your trying to pixelate :,)
