4/5New Additions to Pocket
Overall, as someone who doesn’t have an iPad to draw on the actual Procreate app, Pocket is very useful to create drawings with many different brushes, layers, etc., to show my creativity while saving $395 instead of buying an iPad. Although it is challenging to create something on such a small screen, you usually get used to the fact that you have limited drawing space, and the app lets you zoom in and out however you need. The app is very useful but I’ve noticed that people who have the Procreate app on iPads have more access to create new and different things with updates being released. One huge example of this is the 5.2.2 update, where you can choose a template out of many different 3-Dimensional objects and draw anywhere on it to create your own designs. I think this update is awesome and helpful, especially for graphic designers or people who run businesses to test their ideas for logos out on objects that seem real. But I, for one, am jealous of people who were given this update because it doesn’t seem like this same update will be released on Procreate Pocket. Procreate seems like the app that people are continuously making tweaks and updates on, but on Pocket it seems like there aren’t any major updates, which I’m a little disappointed at because I think phone users should have the same abilities as iPad users. But other than that, I really enjoy using Procreate Pocket and would recommend this app to anyone who wants to express themselves using digital art.

4/5Best few dollars ever spent
This app has come a very long way, and it’s still my go to choice for digital art and art on the go. It has become very close to the iPad counterpart and is really loaded with good features for a mobile drawing app. The learning curve is not too bad and it is very easy to learn how the app works, making it great for newcomers to digital art. The app does work wonderfully, it crashes from time to time- and unfortunately, will mess up your drawings very rarely. Upon crashes sometimes it might delete full layers or put an entire block on your art. It has only happened twice to me in my 2-3 years using the app, and it isn’t too much to worry about, it is overall very reliable! It saves incredibly high quality images, and the playback feature is really nice. It has very dynamic features in terms of drawing guides (perspective and grids), and liquify and distorting options through selections. Canvas sizes are customizable as well as brush sizes, which brushes can also be imported. It truly is a professional grade app for art! My only true complaint about this app is the recent shift in the effect of resizing images within your canvas. It makes your images really grainy now with recent updates, which is actually a little more frustrating in comparison to when it used to make your selections a little blurry on resize. This can prove to be really frustrating. Otherwise, I recommend this app for artists, and photo editors. It is very dynamic and totally worth the money.

4/5Conflicted feelings
I’m not sure what to feel towards Procreate Pocket. I’ve recently purchased the app on my iPhone in hopes that I would be able to use the same wonderful drawing app I know and love without having to carry around a huge iPad Pro wherever and whenever I want to draw, but I’m struggling to find any situation where I’ve ever felt comfortable using the application on the iPhone. I feel like I’ve had too high of an expectation from the iPad app to really see where the pocket version can shine but I cannot say that it would ever be a viable alternative to the iPad version let alone be some form of replacement. It’s lack of features that the iPad has like the extra drawing guides, liquify and quick shape are some of the biggest features that I would have really liked to have seen on Pocket, but sadly aren’t included as of making this review. I really want this app to succeed, but right now it’s simply unusable since I’m so used to the iPad version. I would also HIGHLY recommend some sort of cloud syncing if that isn’t already a feature so I can work on my projects across devices. Seeing as this isn’t an option right now from what I’ve seen, this is a huge bummer because It takes away one of the big reasons I wanted to purchase it in the first place.

5/5It’s a really good app totally recommend getting
So I recently downloaded procreate pocket and I thought that it was really good. I don’t usually write reviews so you can tell that I really liked it. You can also do pretty much everything that you can do in the iPad version except download brushes as far as I know. I love how you can insert images to the canvas and you can use it as a reference and you can learn how to draw better. I also love the quick shape, the liquify tool, the blurs, and the smudge tool. I would really recommend getting it because it is just so fun and entertaining, if you are bored, it will really cure your boredom. It’s so cheap for everything that this app includes and it has NO ADS!!! If you have the 5 dollars, then you should definitely pay for it. You will not regret it. You can also sell these if you want so the 5 bucks will be returned. There is no better app than procreate pocket or procreate so get it!!! There is a few things that i would like for you guys to fix and/or include in your game. For example you should make this app, just like the iPad version have more brushes, and make it easier to make your own brushes, i still don’t know how to make my own brushes and I’m looking up so many videos on how to make them but it is all for the iPad version of this game. Please make some more changes but not too much so that the game won’t get confusing for us. Once again, if you have the money, then go spend it on Procreate Pocket!!! It’s the best way to spend your money(and get money off of it as a kid, teen, adult, or anyone!) so get the freakin app already!!!!!!!!! Thank you for reading, Bye!!! 😁

5/5Such a great app, especially for beginners!
Wow! Reading some of these reviews, I’m honestly shocked at how much I disagree with them! For the longest time, I always wanted to download procreate, but unfortunately I could never afford an iPad to do so. So when I saw that procreate had an iPhone version for only a few dollars, I was beyond excited! As a beginner artist who has used a multitude of free design apps and was steadily disappointed in the outcome, I can honestly say that Procreate Pocket is well worth the money. Not only is it easy to work with, but you are given a variety of awesome brushes to help you get started with your work. I’ve only had this product for a couple months now and I’ve already advanced so much in using this app. I literally use it everyday! It’s my new obsession! My art is daylight and dark compared to what it used to be when I was using other design apps. The only thing I’ve noticed that can be slightly difficult to work with is when I zoom in on an image and the lines I’ve drawn are very pixelated and not straight. However, it’s not something that’s a huge deal, and I’ve gotten very used to it. I also have several other professional artist friends who have procreate for the iPad and for the iPhone, and they also give props to its efficiency. In response to many of the other reviews, I happen to believe it can also be a more complex app for professional artists (which I aspire one day to be). Anyways, I just wanna say that Procreate is doing an awesome job! Hopefully one day I will be able get an iPad and use Procreate on there, but until then I will gladly use Procreate Pocket!

"body": "This app has come a very long way, and it’s still my go to choice for digital art and art on the go. It has become very close to the iPad counterpart and is really loaded with good features for a mobile drawing app. The learning curve is not too bad and it is very easy to learn how the app works, making it great for newcomers to digital art. The app does work wonderfully, it crashes from time to time- and unfortunately, will mess up your drawings very rarely. Upon crashes sometimes it might delete full layers or put an entire block on your art. It has only happened twice to me in my 2-3 years using the app, and it isn’t too much to worry about, it is overall very reliable! It saves incredibly high quality images, and the playback feature is really nice. It has very dynamic features in terms of drawing guides (perspective and grids), and liquify and distorting options through selections. Canvas sizes are customizable as well as brush sizes, which brushes can also be imported. It truly is a professional grade app for art! My only true complaint about this app is the recent shift in the effect of resizing images within your canvas. It makes your images really grainy now with recent updates, which is actually a little more frustrating in comparison to when it used to make your selections a little blurry on resize. This can prove to be really frustrating. Otherwise, I recommend this app for artists, and photo editors. It is very dynamic and totally worth the money.",

"title": "Conflicted feelings",
"body": "I’m not sure what to feel towards Procreate Pocket. I’ve recently purchased the app on my iPhone in hopes that I would be able to use the same wonderful drawing app I know and love without having to carry around a huge iPad Pro wherever and whenever I want to draw, but I’m struggling to find any situation where I’ve ever felt comfortable using the application on the iPhone. I feel like I’ve had too high of an expectation from the iPad app to really see where the pocket version can shine but I cannot say that it would ever be a viable alternative to the iPad version let alone be some form of replacement. It’s lack of features that the iPad has like the extra drawing guides, liquify and quick shape are some of the biggest features that I would have really liked to have seen on Pocket, but sadly aren’t included as of making this review. I really want this app to succeed, but right now it’s simply unusable since I’m so used to the iPad version. I would also HIGHLY recommend some sort of cloud syncing if that isn’t already a feature so I can work on my projects across devices. Seeing as this isn’t an option right now from what I’ve seen, this is a huge bummer because It takes away one of the big reasons I wanted to purchase it in the first place.",

"body": "So I recently downloaded procreate pocket and I thought that it was really good. I don’t usually write reviews so you can tell that I really liked it. You can also do pretty much everything that you can do in the iPad version except download brushes as far as I know. I love how you can insert images to the canvas and you can use it as a reference and you can learn how to draw better. I also love the quick shape, the liquify tool, the blurs, and the smudge tool. I would really recommend getting it because it is just so fun and entertaining, if you are bored, it will really cure your boredom. It’s so cheap for everything that this app includes and it has NO ADS!!! If you have the 5 dollars, then you should definitely pay for it. You will not regret it. You can also sell these if you want so the 5 bucks will be returned. There is no better app than procreate pocket or procreate so get it!!! There is a few things that i would like for you guys to fix and/or include in your game. For example you should make this app, just like the iPad version have more brushes, and make it easier to make your own brushes, i still don’t know how to make my own brushes and I’m looking up so many videos on how to make them but it is all for the iPad version of this game. Please make some more changes but not too much so that the game won’t get confusing for us. Once again, if you have the money, then go spend it on Procreate Pocket!!! It’s the best way to spend your money(and get money off of it as a kid, teen, adult, or anyone!) so get the freakin app already!!!!!!!!! Thank you for reading, Bye!!! 😁",

"body": "Wow! Reading some of these reviews, I’m honestly shocked at how much I disagree with them! For the longest time, I always wanted to download procreate, but unfortunately I could never afford an iPad to do so. So when I saw that procreate had an iPhone version for only a few dollars, I was beyond excited! As a beginner artist who has used a multitude of free design apps and was steadily disappointed in the outcome, I can honestly say that Procreate Pocket is well worth the money. Not only is it easy to work with, but you are given a variety of awesome brushes to help you get started with your work. I’ve only had this product for a couple months now and I’ve already advanced so much in using this app. I literally use it everyday! It’s my new obsession! My art is daylight and dark compared to what it used to be when I was using other design apps. The only thing I’ve noticed that can be slightly difficult to work with is when I zoom in on an image and the lines I’ve drawn are very pixelated and not straight. However, it’s not something that’s a huge deal, and I’ve gotten very used to it. I also have several other professional artist friends who have procreate for the iPad and for the iPhone, and they also give props to its efficiency. In response to many of the other reviews, I happen to believe it can also be a more complex app for professional artists (which I aspire one day to be). Anyways, I just wanna say that Procreate is doing an awesome job! Hopefully one day I will be able get an iPad and use Procreate on there, but until then I will gladly use Procreate Pocket!",
