Inspiration tends to strike when you least expect it—heck, some of our best ideas come to us in the shower—and Procreate is a dazzling way to snatch sparks of visual genius out of the ether and bring them to life. Behind the app’s slick drawing and painting tools are robust features that you’d expect from a full-fledged illustration package—it even has the ingenious ability to use your Apple Watch as a colour palette picker. If a brilliant notion does strike in the shower, though, get out and dry off.
App crashes when importing swatches
StrikeanywhereX
Love the app, own it on iPad and iPhone now - ProCreate Pocket however crashes whenever I try to import downloaded color palettes/swatches (for example, from “Art With Flo” tutorials). If this could be fixed, I’d happily give this app 5 stars.For people complaining that pocket isn’t a full fledged procreate product- they’re very wrong, it has almost everything that works well on the small screen.
Developer Response
Hi StrikeanywhereX - It sound like you may be importing color swatches created in Procreate 5, which are currently not supported in Procreate Pocket. We're working on a fix for this as we speak. Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! We appreciate it. :)
App crashing :(

Recently has been crashing and glitching out of the app on multiple occasions, many where once I went back into the app to continue drawing, it hadn’t saved my progress, leaving me very disappointed with having to restart the whole thing again. It’s very annoying when this happens, and it only happens with this specific app. But other than that honestly, it’s really quite a good app.

When downloading Procreate Pocket, I had Procreate on my iPad. My iPad didn’t hold iOS13, so I was hoping Procreate Pocket would have the new features from Procreate 5. As you know, it does not hold the features and I have been pretty upset, because I love animating on iPhones and this is one of the apps that make it easier. I really hope you can add the features onto the Pocket versions.
Developer Response
Hi MikaylaCrooke - We would love to add Animation to Procreate Pocket in the future, thank you for the suggestion. 🎉🌟
This update includes fixes and improvements to keep Pocket running smoothly.
