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

Hi developers!

Btw sorry if I’m bothering you…..

This is the most greatest animation app

This is a great app for animating! I’ve made so many animations with this app. it’s so amazing to see how good animations can be on procreate dreams. And one more thing, for a new update I would like for you to make a AI to help with suggestions, help, and also it can make an animation if the user tells them to.

Awesome…but…

It’s really good and I’ve been using it for a bit and all it’s tools are really easy to use, but it crashes sometimes and it won’t even let me open it again, unless I restart my iPad, but yes I do recommend it.

Very lovely app, few bugs though.

I’ve had the app for a while now. It has plenty of great features, like keyframes, flipbook, separating audio from video. I’m sure eventually they’ll add custom brushes as well. It’s a great app! Only issue I have is how often it bugs out that prevents me from undo-ing or redo-ing when I click, or lags when I’m drawing. Plus the weird bug where it cuts off a sliver of a video with audio in it. Other than that, it’s my #1! I think this is a great app, and a great purchase.

A little bit complicated

Now this is only because I’m an absolute beginner, but I feel very lost while, my last animation was quite questionable. I am wondering if you have a beginner tutorial to help me on your website.

Amazing!!

Got this on release and since then it has improved and got better in leaps and bounds. It’s a fantastic app if you want to do 2D animation. You can also use it similar to Syncsketch to do animation drawovers or reference stuff for 3D animation. LOVE IT!!! ❤️

Features that should be added

It would be such an ease of use to have the shape tool from normal procreate and I’m sad that it doesn’t and I hope by writing this it will be added also remove the stupid .drm from the naming thing I want to name my stuff how I want it and forcing that corny little .drm on everything annoys me and I really want it gone

Needs more brushes

Yeah there are barely any brushes and the app is to detailed for beginners so you could make a tutorial for the hard parts and maybe a level thing and it has tips, new brushes,tutorials,and a art gallery for people that want to show there art to the world.

Please add liquify tool

I very grateful for the app , I am already pleased with the new features , thank you , but I would like to add liquify tool

Why this is great!

This is perfect for me! I use this for editing videos (sometimes) but mostly, animating! I can use this for my cartoons, videos, and editing! And the best part? No idea. It’s everything! The only thing I request, is that I want to have the same tools just like in Procreate. Don’t remove anything, just add the stuff. The end :)

Lag and bugs

Don’t buy

Amazing App Ruined by Instability

This app is absolutely amazing, but it’s just not stable at all. I’m using a 13-inch iPad Pro with M4, and very frequently while drawing within a flipbook, the inking just stops working. If you try to ink again, the app crashes, and completely corrupts the file, making it impossible to make any alterations unless you duplicate the file. I also just a moment ago had this exact same issue, and in addition to not inking, it started to affect my background video playback. Either I’m experiencing a million-to-one bug that makes this app unusable, or it’s simply just on unstable. Considering this app was shown in the Apple event in which this iPad I’m using was revealed, it definitely should not be having this poorly, especially considering I haven’t even been able to make any decent progress on my animation because it crashes so frequently - I’ve only got 2 flipbooks in my timeline. This app is fantastic in terms of features, but in my opinion is currently in an unusable state, and now I have to resort to different software for my animation, which is a shame because if this app didn’t crash all the time, it would have no competition.

Super nice but super laggy

I use this for all my animations and it may just be my iPad but it’s SUPER laggy. Like, I’ll erase something and it’ll only erase like, 30 seconds later. I’ve gotten pretty used to it so I’m still able to animate and it doesn’t annoy me much but it can make things harder

One lil thing

It exits me out when I try to get in 😡✍🏻❌
