"Amazing program at a low cost (outside of the ipad only factor)"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

This program packs a powerful punch. As a long-time photoshop and wacom user, procreate combines my love of working traditionally with the quick edits and adjustments of digital. It's one of the most powerful tools on the market today for working on the go in an artistic medium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

The main issue is that the program is only available on the iPad. I would love to have this on my computer. I also find that resizing the content is mediocre at best, often causing lines to go blurry. The same image resized on my computer has no issues at all so I'm not sure what it is about how procreate resizes things that makes this an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Procreate is a great tool for digital drawing - beginner to pro"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

Ease of use - I got into it literally the day I downloaded it and was able to create something I wasn't embarrassed to show others. Nothing museum quality of course, but just being able to get something out of my head and into the world for others to see was exhilarating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

Maybe the file storage/saving - the process takes me a little longer than I'd like, but that's because I'm used to the convenience of hitting cmd+S any time probably. Really, no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Procreate helps me create almost anything!"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

I love that I can use any pencil, marker, or brush that I wish and not make any mess! I can create color palettes, copy-paste repetitive things in my illustrations, do videos/animations/timelapse, or do folders with my art. I also like that I can choose the size of my drawing and save it in different formats. The best part is that I can take it anywhere with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

I dislike that it's challenging to use the first time; it can be overwhelming for someone who has never drawn digitally. And sometimes, it can take a lot of memory from your iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

It takes a while to learn certain functions, but they are easily searchable online! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So Helpful for Graphics"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

What I like most about Procreate is that it provides a way to make some graphics and edits without having a lot of experience. I use Procreate almost entirely for making PNGs with transparent backgrounds and it works very well. It really gives me a tool in my belt that I never had before and it's only $10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

I don't like that it's a bit finicky with the object selection tool. I use it to draw an outline around shapes in my pictures so I can use those shapes individually for my graphic. But if I am zooming in or out, if my finger slips, I have to start over on the selection which is a time waste. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Realistic and easy to learn"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

What I like best about the current application is that its interface is easy to navigate, and it integrates well with the Apple Ipad Pro. The application downloads quickly, and I rarely have any issues when dealing with larger art files. It's easy to find and upload new brushes and palettes. One of the best features is the reference window that allows you to bring up any image over your artboard and zoom independently of your artwork. I can work for hours without the application draining my battery, but the quality of work I can create with this app is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

It is difficult to create anything with pixel-perfect accuracy since this drawing app has no vector capability. The basic shapes available are also limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Procreate allows for design magic!"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

I love the way Procreate makes it so easy to create beautiful designs. From different brush types, to patterns, to textures, the brushes are intuitive and easy to use. But there's always more to learn! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

Procreate can only be used on an iPad, which is frustrating. But it performs well on an iPad. I don't like that exclusivity. Also, it can be hard to learn all the features at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I. Love. Procreate."
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

I prefer this $10 app over the fancy Wacom tablet and Photoshop setup that I used before. It's so intuitive and user-friendly, the customization possibilities are endless, and you can create some really cool work in a short amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

I don't like that scaling any items up *or* down can result in pixelation, even if you set it to Bicubic. Additionally, I really wish that it could handle bigger working files. For instance, I was recently working on a book illustration that was a spread, so it needed to be a bigger canvas at 300 dpi, and it only allowed for max seven layers, the background layer being one of them. It was really annoying having to figure out what art was on which layer and if I would have to merge layers to make room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for designers anda artists"
5/5
What do you like best about Procreate?

The best part about Procreate is that it's easy to use while still providing a professional level. You have all the tools you need to make great designs and illustrations, and you only pay it once, which is excellent. It is very well designed for the Ipad and Apple Pencil; I´m kind of new to the Ipad Pro and Procreate world, and now I can't go back. If you are a designer, artist, or just want to have fun drawing, Procreate is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Procreate?

I'm trying to think about a feature that Procreate lacks, but I can't think of one. They've thought about everything to make it easy to use with the Ipad and Apple Pencil. One thing I would like (but it's not something wrong about this app) is to have a version that works with vectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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.
