Laggy, and has less features
Uhhh the thing is really laggy and delays my ipad turning off. Also I don’t have quickshape and it sometimes mistakes zooming in for undoing or normal strokes for eyedropper. It also requires at least 15 percent of your storage empty, an Apple iPad pro, and an apple pencil. Otherwise, it will lag and be impossible to use. Also, the normal Procreate is easier to use, has more tools, and way less laggy. It also delays a lot and the labels take longer to read. Also I would still like to open the layers even when it’s empty.

Just needs a bit more
I really like procreate Dreams; I’ve been using it for several months now to animate and I’ve done a lot of fun stuff there using it after the new update. However I would really appreciate it if it added reference layers (allowing users to fill line art in with color even on a different layer), symmetry tools and ruler tools since it’s difficult to make something symmetrical/a certain shape on there without them, unless I go to another app which kinda defeats the purpose of using it. TL;DR if the next update adds reference layers, symmetry and ruler tools I’ll bump the rating to 5 stars.

Get toonsquid instead…
This app is super buggy with a UI that could be improved
Good but could be improved
I find it’s a bit laggy, especially when you use the undo button. I would also like bones/skeletons to be added because I notice other apps like toonsquid have much more for a lower price
Too little tools and too hard to work with
As a person who’s used FlipaClip their whole life and just spent $13 on an animation app to finally actually animate, I was so disappointed. If my current animation projects were not on this app I would delete it. Other than brushes and being able to have audio, this is in no way better or easier than ibis paints FREE animation features. There are so little tools to work with that the app feels just like how FlipaClip did and FlipaClip as free. The lasso tool is so hard to work with I try to avoid it as much as possible, good luck trying to move any piece of your artwork, the transform tools hit box to move a piece of your drawing is so small I only end up accidentally sizing it up and down and warping it. It made me so frustrated at one point I had to take a LONG break and do something else. The app also glitches all of the time and I have a new gen iPad. It is so so hard to do anything on. Even scrolling through my animation is a process or trying to figure how to edit my animation. The layout was sloppy, the undo button will not work if you used the lasso tool before hand, moving or replacing a section of the animation is a nightmare and causes you to have to fix EVERY SINGLE OTHER FRAME that was moved in the process. Genuinely the only beneficial part is the brushes and audio. That is it. This is not worth $13. I wasted my money and regret so much buying this app and I will be moving apps as soon as I finish my projects. AGAIN THIS IS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY I PROMISE YOU. PLEASE FIND A BETTER APP.

Good but no Onion Skin Wrapping?
Overall pretty okay! Very nice being able to share brush libraries from Procreate to keep a consistent style between animations and illustrations.
One complaint is that when animating in the flipbook, there's no way to see the first frame as an onion skin from the last frame; this would be especially useful when making looping animations!
Another one is that the size and opacity bars do not tractically feel like the ones in normal Procreate, especially with marked sizes. Tapping on the bars that I've marked to change the size barely work and I have to drag it to the bar for the size to snap to it. It's just a little frustrating when it happens and could use some cleanup.
A third complaint is that a track with the clipping mask on oddly also affects the onion mask, making things confusing
Looking forward to a liquify tool!

WORST APP EVER
There’s a lack of tools , you don’t have custom canvas sizes and the sensitivity of this app is horrible don’t ever buy this I wish i could refund it
horrid buggy mess—just get toonsquid
so many bugs and very clunky way of doing things it’s not worth it
A big YES and a little but
I really enjoy working on this application a lot. But I agree that the shaper tool is so needed!! a previous reviewer mentioned and described it and the read my mind !
Quickshape feature
Please when are we getting the quick shape feature?
Minor issue
Only thing I would love to be added in is an option to turn off auto tweening for the animation can this be an request in a future update
(EDIT )Can there be…
I love the procreate dreams and I happy that you noted down my request overall GREAT. I look forward to the new ideas and or update! (Edit) I hope you can also add a gradient fill tool it’s would help so much!
amazing! but...
i love this app so much! just if you can add like a starter feature (where it shows you how to do it well) i this that would be amazing! 5 STARS!
Bring back recording movement.
The record feature used to be so simple, if you moved a layer around the screen or adjusted the color it recorded it as you did it. Now you have to stop every few seconds to lock on the position or color. It makes things choppy.. maybe it’s user error, but it used to be easier.
I’m disappointed
I feel like this app is missing lots of tools and special elements,and is an extremely laggy software.It is safe to say I probably won’t use this again since I don’t really like the set out,the tools ect..it doesn’t feel like it’s specifically made to animate even though it’s supposed to,sadly.because I really did want to like this software,then I bought it and it was just laggy and sloppy in my opinion.

annoying
genuinely annoying program to work with. barely any tools and the layout is confusing and difficult to get accustom to.
Back to being trash
Adding any video not only crashes dreams but makes it so you cannot open the drm at all and now I’ve lost all my work for the past month
Auto shape and undo
I would like to have the auto shaped tool from Procreate so it’s easier to make lines and circles. The button when I click undo for if I distorted something before clicking, undo it just takes me back to being able to distort the image or not not just automatically undo it.
Bugs and Keyboard Shortcut Issues
I want to give this app 5 stars, because it really does have amazing timeline composition features for editing and rotoscoping. However, the Flipbook drawing experience needs considerable improvement, and keyboard shortcuts are unpredictably buggy, making the drawing experience almost unusable. I finally decided to write this review after my third app crash and noticing how the brush size was changing back to the previous memory slot every time I switched from from erase mode. When using a keyboard, undo/redo are randomly registered twice, even when turning off the two finger gesture and maxing out the Rapid Undo Timing (and yes, I've verified this issue occurs with a bluetooth keyboard and a TourBox Elite Plus; it does not occur if using the touch gesture). Cut and Copy keyboard shortcuts do not respect a selection lasso and instead will capture the entire drawing in a frame. Entering Selection mode with the S key will randomly erase the entire drawing in the frame. Some frames enter a permanent state where brush strokes and erasing are just ignored. The color picker popover cannot be dismissed with the Back keyboard shortcut. Trying to rearrange track layers in the Flipbook timeline is very difficult. There is no easy way to transfer layers from one frame to another track. There is no keyboard shortcut to erase only what is in a selection. This is only possible using the scrub gesture. Both Procreate and Dreams need a MAJOR keyboard shortcut overhaul and quality assurance update.

It’s constantly freezing on projects
It’s great for studies, saw someone mention that. But a lack of tools doesn’t excuse performance genuinely being bad on both an iPad Mini and an M4 iPad Pro. I don’t know how by now the performance hasn’t been fixed, we should be at a point where that’s refined and everyone gets their tools sprinkled in. It’s so bad I got Toon Boom Harmony
