Randomly though it will decide that it’s going to be sensitive to every touch and random thing, the lines start glitching across the canvas and leaving a ton of dots. This is something that doesn’t happen with other applications. Usually it goes away fast but recently it’s been getting worse. It is a common issue that I see a lot of people discuss. Be aware of that part. It is genuinely such an annoying issue that I can’t give this app any higher of a rating. ### 4/5 — Needs a magic background remover option *2026-08-24, version 5.4.12* 4starz. ### 4/5 — very good but one super annoying glitch *2026-08-23, version 5.4.12* This app is even used by professionals and has wonderful textures and features but I keep having this glitch where when I am drawing it will randomly undo what I just did and then the redo button is greyed out and won’t let me redo. I have turned off all gesture things related to undoing, redoing and my apple pen but it still happens constantly. please fix. ### 4/5 — Great but needs improvement to make it more convenient *2026-08-22, version 5.4.12* For me Procreate is great but please improve the transform box/tool...after selecting object it sometimes is hard to transfer because the tool edges/handles keep getting in the way no matter how carefully I try to move the box...you need multiple attempts to move things as it is😭😭Also, try to give us an option to heart/love our brushes and automatically move the hearted brushes to a favorite set😭please team work on it❤️ ### 4/5 — Great app but *2026-08-22, version 5.4.12* Great app but damn the constant crashing on iPad Pro m4 is insane. I’ll be drawing then go onto another app for a bit then switch back this one and it freezes the closes. I try reopen and it hangs on a grey screen then closes. I constantly have to restart my iPad which takes away from the experience. Honestly what’s the issue? ### 4/5 — Missing brushes *2026-08-22, version 5.4.12* After the latest update, some of my brushes disappeared, including the brushes I use all the time, like the Rapidograph brush. Does anyone know if there’s a way to get them back? I would really appreciate any help! 🙏 ### 3/5 — Was great now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *2026-08-22, version 5.4.12* Amazing amazing app with awesome features but the need to connect to the internet to use the brushes killed it for me. ### 4/5 — Love! (But some suggestions) *2026-08-21, version 5.4.12* I love procreate. It is pretty easy to use. AFTER YOU WATCH THE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. I would love if I could upload videos the same way we upload photos. It is fine, but I would also like this app better if I could edit text size without all the steps. In animation mode, I would love to add text to a frame with a drawing or photo. Overall, nice app. ### 2/5 — Technically stressful *2026-08-21, version 5.4.12* I’m not sure you guys are away but making an Apple Pencil work on the iPad with procreate is so stressful and tiring. Like you’ll hate yourself. I think the dev team should look into that! ### 3/5 — :3 *2026-08-21, version 5.4.12* Hello, a few days ago I wanted to draw in your application, but the brushes did not ship, although the Internet was good and the same thing happened yesterday.:_( ### 5/5 — *Speechless* *2026-08-21, version 5.4.12* AUGHHHHH. ever since i got this app - -Last summer- - Ive been OBSESSED. Because of this AMAZING app, ive become the best artist in my school! Also, the thing i absolutely love about this app is that there is NO adds, or limits to the drawings you could make! Ive already made 273 drawings on this app. Another good thing about this app is that the brushes are already made for you, and you can even make clips on it! (kinda hard tho :/. ) Anyhow, Js call me Ali! :) bai! ### 5/5 — 🤩 *2026-08-21, version 5.3.9* Plz more. I love it. Make a webseries canvas for free plz ### 5/5 — Best in the world *2026-08-20, version 5.4.12* I used to be the worst drawer ever until I found the game it is the best because there is so many different ways to draw I first learned about the app looked up other games but I liked this one I think u should all get this game if I could I would give it 100.0000 stars.it is for alll drawer beginners pros expert ### 5/5 — I LOVE PROCREATE!!! *2026-08-20, version 5.4.12* I’ve been using procreate for 5 years and it’s been wonderful throughout my artistic journey. It has every feature a digital artist could possibly need. I appreciate how the developers listen to their user feedback and make updates accordingly (both with this and procreate dreams) and how it’s a one time payment and not a subscription for the app. I highly recommend this app to all digital artists, it’s a purchase you’ll never regret! ### 5/5 — A few ideas and some questions *2026-08-20, version 5.4.12* Hello I’m writing a review to say i love this app I’ve had it for a few years and its great I’m practicing pixel art but it’s quite hard to do because if i want to draw on a 500x500 board i need a bigger pixel brush but I’m not sure how to make one? I would love if you guys could add a pixel brush section and one more thing i do not have access to the web so seeing creators use really awesome brushes and not being able to use them is sad same with the stencils. Otherwise great app i really recommend for professionals as well as beginners ### 4/5 — GOOD but.. *2026-08-20, version 5.4.12* This app seems very good but I meant to get procreate dreams whoops ### 4/5 — 用了四年多 *2026-08-20, version 5.4.12* 自带笔刷真一般 ### 5/5 — SO FUN AND COOL but.. *2026-08-19, version 5.4.12* I got it and I got 3D models. I want to know how to make my own 3D models. Like on the picture .🔝Well I made my own brush and I’m going to use like 24/7. Love the brushes you should get this if you don’t like it it’s your opinion .🙄 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Heinous *2026-08-15, version 5.4.12* A UI so bizarre, you won’t want to invest the time to get it to work. Everything is redefined in this upside down world they have created. And hidden. ### 1/5 — Brushes all gone?! *2026-08-13, version 5.4.12* Went to get on procreate today, and all my brushes got wiped because of the UPDATE, PLEASE FIX ### 1/5 — Huge problem? *2026-08-12, version 5.4.12* Not working with my Apple Pencil, one day it just doesn’t work and now it won’t work at all, I dropped my Apple Pencil on its tip, but even new Apple pencils tips didn’t even do the trick? There is no help for this at all either, very annoying ### 1/5 — Canvas’s too small and low quality, keeps crashing *2026-08-12, version 5.4.12* I used to create amazing high quality art, but their canvases are low quality compared to other apps. They keep focusing on the wrong things to update and now the app keeps crashing. I can’t even paint for a few strokes before it crashes and I lose progress. I’ve been here since day one never been more disappointed. Good sized canvases sacrifices amount of layers. It shouldn’t be so difficult to have vector files without extreme pixelation. You’ve got to be better, they keep focusing on the animation app when this one is still a mess. If they took off the animation aspect on procreate they could upgrade a lot of things in this. Hopefully they will fix these issues because it’s unusable right now. ### 1/5 — Je suis dégoûté *2026-08-08, version 5.4.12* J’ai perdu tous mes pinceaux, alors ce que j’ai payé pour cette application , je souhaite récupérer mes pinceaux, mais je ne sais pas quoi faire et comment faire. ### 1/5 — New update deleted my brushes *2026-08-07, version 5.4.12* I have used procreate for over 5 years, it has been one of my favorite art applications to where I have chosen to draw on my tablet over my pc even with the layer limits and tendency to crash. This latest update deleted all the brushes I have bought over the years. I have spent easily 70+ in the last 5 years on complex brush collections, and procreate deleted them off the app. I now have to spend dedicated time to find where they’ve gone, see if I will have to rebuy them, and then painstakingly re-apply them. I have barely any time to set aside to do art, and when I have the time I’d like to be able to actually draw with the brushes I paid for. Before you say “I need to update my procreate/ipad” or “You need more space in storage” I have and I do. ### 1/5 — Clothing designer *2026-08-06, version 5.4.12* Every time I try to design something it freezes or goes black and kicks me out the app I change iPads 3 times and tried to delete the app more the once same results ### 1/5 — It isn’t like those shorts and videos *2026-07-31, version 5.4.12* L ### 1/5 — Strange *2026-07-30, version 5.4.12* Procreate brushes decided to delete for no reason ### 1/5 — Deletes bad reviews *2026-07-30, version 5.4.12* I made a review calling out this scam of an app and they first of all responded condescendingly treating me like a 5 year old thinking I was too stupid to attempt to fix it on my own first. And then when I updated my review telling them their fixes didn’t work the deleted it. So now you people want to hide bad reviews. You’re nothing but a scam and I hope more people realize that. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BEST ART APP EVER! 🎨 *2026-08-25, version 5.4.12* Also , none of this is a complaint , but there may be a few small suggestions! Ok , I LOVE procreate and it was actually the frost app I downloaded on Christmas Day when I got my new iPad! I can’t remember if it cost money or not , but if it did it was so worth it. The drawing abilities are so smooth , and you can have every colour and so much more! Though one thing that annoys me is that I wish there were more reference slots so you don’t have to keep changing your references but other than that this is the best art app ever , the fact you can make animations and it comes with NO ADVERTS is insane to me as I hate drawing apps with ads , but before I keep yapping on and on about the greatness of the app, I’m probably gonna leave it here! I would be thrilled for procreate to respond to this ( and if you do hello I love your app! ) because I know other people in the reviews community want more reference slots and I want to be added to the vote , but bye! Honest 5 stars. ✨ ### 5/5 — Best drawing app for young and elderly artists! One thing tho *2026-08-25, version 5.4.12* I love this drawing app, it’s so perfect! I use it for content creation and it’s definitely worth the money. I have tried other apps such as ibis paint, but it is not very good in my opinion. I always come back to you all! Thank you for making such an easy and fun app! But.. there is one thing!! When i make an ellipse or circle and then draw after it before pressing the undo button, it returns to the un-edited circle/ellipse i made. I end up erasing it, and maybe i’m just lazy but i think it could be fixed! It’s not a huge deal though, amazing app overall!💚 ### 5/5 — Idk *2026-08-24, version 5.4.12* Love this app! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — I really enjoy Procreate *2026-08-24, version 5.4.12* This is a great app. Can’t believe some of the art I’ve been able to create. The UI is pretty straightforward. It can be a bit of a learning curve. ### 5/5 — Read before you get *2026-08-24, version 5.4.12* Hello, I hope your having a nice day. I was bored so I thought “ why don’t I write a review?” So here I am. Procreate is the best drawing app out there. No adds, no paying, just playing. I have drawn so much there’s so many different colours and brushes and I went to the park with all my friends and I bought my iPad. They alll brought their iPads too. I showed the, procreate and they all had a turn. One drew a bow, another drew cherries and so on. After, I went back to their house for a sleepover. The second we walked through that door they all asked m the name and downloaded it. It’s also good for if you want to play games but don’t have a on or paper to Han. The best drawing pp ever. I know for a fact that professional artists use this pp and you can too. Sorry this is so long. Bye, future artists! 👋🧑‍🎨 ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2026-08-23, version 5.4.12* I LOVE THIS APP! My only complaints are why the heck did it give me four of the exact same library but with different names? The tools are a bit confusing sometimes but I figure it out 10/10 recommendation 😝😍🥰 ### 5/5 — THE MOST AMAZING APP!! *2026-08-23, version 5.4.12* This app is super good and very easy to use. I really love using it to make my comic strips because it has a whole section with brushes used for making comics! It also has a lot of cool brushes that I use for drawing a couple of characters from my book and I use the Gaussian blur to make them glow! I definitely recommend getting this app. It is the best app EVER!!!❤️✨ ### 5/5 — The best app it is popular for a reason a very good reason *2026-08-23, version 5.4.12* You can do animations you can edit and I don’t usually do digital but this is a great beginner so simple and it’s not like in your face thank you 🙏🏽 very much for making this also I would like to ask when we are using a reference we can not use the colour picker and that kinda anyone to get the same coupler as the references so yeah 👍🏽 great app but plsss can u think about my suggestion this is t(e best app and i am soo happy it is a one time payment so pay 12 pounds and you can do what ever you want no sub no add love this app edit procreat you have been may Savio ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS GOATED THAN EVER ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😝😝😝 *2026-08-23, version 5.4.12* I LOVE drawing on this app!!! It’s for the drawing not animating. ITS SO HARD TO ANIMATE ON PROCREATE :(. I just use alight motion for animations ! ### 5/5 — Love it but one thing- *2026-08-21, version 5.4.12* I absolutely love this app. My only comment would be to make it more beginner friendly because I just started and can’t figure out most of the features, and if you don’t have an Apple Pencil it’s kinda boring. Otherwise totally recommend and give five stars!✨ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
