Leave a Review Procreate Dreams
Released to soon
This software has potential but I believe it was released too soon.
It also constantly crashes and when undo the screen/everything on the later thats selected flashes.
This is from the perspective of someone doing frame by frame animation.
Undo an Redo First of in drawing mode where you can change the brush sizes there’s no undo and redo arrows meaning you have to use hand gestures (taping screen with specific number of finger).
Personally this slows me now hugely as I also was have my second hand hovering over these buttons.
Frame deleting - and moving In drawing mode
when you have lowered the time line so it turns into “flip book” the inability to delete added frames by holding down and selecting that means you have to manually exit then drag all your frames over to the left one by one as your unable to select multiple frames at once. With this “flip book” you can’t select and drag frames around / reorder them. Adding custom brushes It’s strange that the only way to add custom brushes is to have your device in split screen and drag then the brushes across the screen. You also can’t reorganise your brushes. Layers You can’t merge layer clipping Maskes or Alpha lock layers. This is from my sort period of time messing around with the program.Show lessSnoopyseal

Hey Snoopyseal - thank you for the review of Procreate Dreams. We're sorry to hear that you've had trouble with the app. If you like, try heading to App Store and update to version 1.0.5, to see if this helps with your freezing and crashing. We are definitely going to continue working hard on improving Procreate Dreams by adding features and functionality, of course along with stability, too. We are very appreciate of feedback, and we are grateful for people providing valuable input on how we can improve the software over time. 🙏 If you still experience troubles after updating, please head to our Support Form (procre.at/support) and provide us with some further details of the issue.Underwhelming, but Promising
It has so, so much potential. But it’s missing a few key features. My big issue? The selection tool - or, the lack thereof.
You can’t draw your own selection lines and resize things freely. I’d like to think I’m not the only one who finds this a huge, pressing issue. It’s one of the tools I use most in Procreate; and the version of it we have right now in this app where you can only move the entire drawing and not section parts off is VERY concerning. Please, please add the in-depth selection function from Procreate.
Or maybe, I’m just being thick and in-depth selection IS a feature, but I can’t tell because the app is frustratingly hard to get a handle on. I understand partly how to use it, but anything beyond basics I’m forced to learn on my own or a helping hand on YouTube. The official help page, unfortunately, has been really unhelpful.
And beyond that, the interface is slightly annoying, and trying to do absolutely anything to the Tracks results in me rapidly double tapping the screen to undo because I have to fix the issue before the app crashes on me - which its been doing every time without fail.
One more thing: Undo and Redo buttons. Please add them. Double and Triple tapping doesn’t work half the time and I just end up accidentally messing with the Track instead.
I don’t say any of this in malice. I want to love this app so badly, and I almost actually do! But it needs some major public feedback and workshopping before it rivals Procreate itself.Show lessKing of melons

Hey King of melons - thank you for the heartfelt and supportive feedback. Rest assured, we feel no malice and we know you are sharing this in the hopes of improving the app with us. The good news is that we are aiming to introduce Selection and Transform modes in the near future. For now, we don't have direct plans for adding buttons for Undo and Redo, but as always we are open to input and this may change. With the Undo troubles, try tapping on the title of your Movie on the left, after opening it. Head to Preferences and try adjusting both the Stored Undo Steps and Rapid Undo Delay, to see if adjustments help with your workflow for now. Thank you again for the input! We will do our best to make Procreate Dreams better! 😄Good but lacking a bit
Dreams has a lot of potential and I realize that it’s still early in it’s release but it’s missing a few key features, namely the select tool. Please add a select tool in the next update, it would make many lives easier. I also feel the flip book is a little clunky. It may be useful in some areas but I think that adding something like the frame by frame in procreate would be more useful. Good app overall, though.Show lessN3728t

Hey N3728t - Thank you for using Procreate Dreams and for sharing your feedback with us today. We are happy to share with you that the Selections tool is currently in development and you can expect it within one of our early updates. In terms of Flipbook, could you give us a bit more information on the aspects that you did not have the best experience in? User experience is important for us and we would love to hear from you! 💜Missing tool.
Where is the lasso tool? If I want to select my characters' arm in the sketch and move it slightly to the right, do I need to redraw the entire thing? Also, the double-tap function with the pencil and eraser that I was accustomed to using in Procreate, why isn't it working in Procreate Dream? Additionally, there's an issue with the way we move the frame, experiencing too much friction and too many steps before executing the task. Moreover, when I attempt to move the layers within each frame, it's impossible to rearrange the layers between each other. I appreciate the flipbook feature, the canvas space, and the quality of the brush, but there's too much friction between tasks, such as moving the frame and resizing the length. It’s doesn’t feel intuitive to me.Show lessboteesthetique

Hey boteesthetique - Thank you for using Procreate Dreams and for taking the time to leave a review for us. The Selections and Transform tools are currently in development and should be with you in the near future. The Apple Pencil double-tap as well as layer arrangement functions are also on the requested list and should be included in future releases. In terms of the 'friction' you are experiencing, could you please give us a bit more information? User experience is critically important for us and we would love to hear from you. 🙏Procreate dream
My issues with PD is :
-Over heats my iPad abnormally quickly when I’ve only been on for about an hour
- Crashes and kicks me out when I’ve only done a handful of lines on the first page and layer
-I haven’t found basic tools to do quick editing and haven’t seen anyone else use them
-Undoing line’s it gets glitchy and makes weird patches
-I can’t use my Apple Pencil double tap feature to swap between current and last used tool
-I think to exit the whole page would be best to have it at the top left like procreate, it took me ages to figure out how to get back to the library
I still love the program and I understand I myself would be lacking in places, I’ve just downloaded the first update so I do hope the glitches and crashing has been fixed at least.
I do love it’s intended to be the same layout as procreateShow lessJellyGmer
Developer Response
Hey JellyGmer - Thank you for using Procreate and for sharing your feedback with us. In terms of the Selections and Transform tools, they are in the hands of our engineers at the moment and you can expect them in an early update of Procreate Dreams. The Apple Pencil double-tap feature is also currently under development and will be available in the near future. Besides, we have noted your suggestion regarding the method to exit back to the Theatre. In terms of other issues you are experiencing, could you please reach out to us directly via our Support Form procre.at/support and provide us with a bit more information on these issues? Additionally, it would be very helpful if you could send through externally recorded videos (e.g. use your phone to record) showing yourself attempting to replicate the issues. This visual context would help us better identify the potential causes and we will do whatever we can to help you further. 🙏Very fun!
This app is very fun to draw with. Im only sad that you cant customise or use the clipping mask on this app. Over all, very good!Carloserr
Developer Response
Hey Carloserr - Thank you for using Procreate Dreams and for sharing your feedback with us! Clipping mask, along with Layer mask, are implemented via Timeline tracks in Procreate Dreams. To access them, press and hold your content with a finger in your Timeline > Mask. We hope this information helps 💖Thank you procreate team

As an animation tool its clear theres been a lot of thought and care put into it, its missing a lot of what makes procreate so great to draw on and work with, but it does what its designed to do, animate. Personally id have just paid the extra 30$ aud if they’d simply added the animation tools to regular procreate as a dlc. Lil frustrating to have to go back and fourth between the two thoughShow lessCarrottefox
Developer Response
