"An app that pushes you to be a better artist!"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

The most helpful aspect of this app is strangely not within the app itself. Since the app is deceptively simple, I had to rely on YouTube videos to learn the tool. However, the Procreate channel on YouTube provides concise, crisp, and helpful video tutorials that are really interesting! The Procreate app itself is of course a delight to use, especially since it is wonderfully integrated with the Apple Pencil and is as close to physical paper drawing as you can possibly get on a digital medium!

What do you dislike about Procreate?

As I said, the app is deceptively simple! It took me a few days and my dependency on tutorial videos to extract the full potential of the app. I wish there was a better way to onboard a new user and provide a better learning experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-friendly and has almost everything you need"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

It is user-friendly. The price is very reasonable. I appreciate it being a one time $10 fee and not based on a subscription like with other software such as Photoshop and Lightroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

It can be difficult to work with text. The grid-snapping feature is also difficult at times. I wish that there were a way to create subfolders within folders, but that is not currently an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

I like the best thing about this software is user interface. It is easy to use because of the best user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

"Great Program for Illustration, Design, and Digital Art"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

Procreate has done a really wonderful job of integrating pieces from programs like photoshop into a touchscreen compatible format on the iPad. It also has elements from illustrator included as well. It has more functionality than all the adobe apps for iPad and allows the user to use a wide variety of tools to create many different styles of art among other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

There is a bit of a learning curve. It can take a bit of time to get used to and comfortable with the control, especially if you are used to using other programs like photoshop. But I will say once you learn it, it's very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A fantastic software whether you’re a beginner or expert artist!"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

The ease of use. It was so easy to get started using procreate. I learned on Adobe photoshop and this program is significantly easier to use. The user interface is so much more friendly. The price is unmatched for what you get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

It's missing a few features from photoshop such as inverse the selection, filters (I use the cut out one to mock up some embroidery art I make). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Illustration App for All Levels"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

Procreate by Savage Interactive is probably the best illustration app I've ever used. I want to say that Procreate was the first I started with and haven't left since, so there might be some bias.

The options you have for different features like their lasso tool, the customization of different brushes, the ease of navigating the app it's all so good. Their support team seems excellent, and you get a transparent view of the app and their team through their content online. They are always releasing amazing features that keep pushing the bar, like their recent face paint tool to create facial recognition art.

I had no confidence in the art that I created but Procreate removes a lot of the stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

They don't allow you to back up your work within the app so I'm always scared to lose by work. It's the only thing that bothers me about Procreate and I think it's a valid concern that hopefully will be addressed in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Procreate is a great app for design and drawing"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

I love Procreate. There are so many things I like about the app.

1. Unlimited color palates

2. Ease of switching between brushes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

1. No way to see which brush was used for which lines--sometimes I set aside a project and then come back to it later, and then I can't figure out which brush I was using.

2. The organization system with 'stacks' is okay, but I wish there were an option to use a more traditional saving/organization system.

3. Using the 'insert text' feature without having a keyboard is unnecessarily complicated and frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use illustration software"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

Virtually no tutorials required to get drawing. I have passed my iPad over to my grandma and she was able to make art with little help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

The software tends to struggle with exporting larger files. I have tried to send finished psd files to my google drive and had it crash over and over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
