Great app one problem
eiehishf
This is a great app and I love it but I have a problem. For the first while it worked amazing everything was working how it was meant to. But then when I installed some brushes it stopped working the brushes installed but whenever I try to use of the new ones I downloaded it goes out of the app. It lets me select a brush but as soon as I try to draw or touch the screen it exists the app. I’ve tried restarting my phone but it’s still not working and I’m unsure of what to do. Will rate higher when problem is fixed
Developer Response
Hi eiehishf – You may have downloaded a Procreate 5 brush. These aren't compatible with Procreate Pocket at the moment but we are working on getting this fixed to stop he crashing. In the meantime, try deleting the downloaded Brush.
Great but…

Procreate Pocket is amazing for creating on the go, but I'm really disappointed they didn't include a private photo option like the regular version. It's frustrating having all my refrences and sketches mixed with my regular speedpaint. Please add this soon I’m begging you!!!!!

Really good but needs adjustments

You can adapt to pretty much everything that the app is missing from its main version and it works great with a stylus BUT it needs to have the pen smoothing option. This is probably the most important thing I’ve noticed from everything else. Lines are so hard to control on a screen that wasn’t built for this and smoothing would fix all of that. Again, it’s really good but smoothing needs to be added to make this fully worth it.
This is a compatibility update to get you ready for everything new coming your way.
