Comment summary: Procreate is highly praised for its intuitive interface, making digital drawing accessible even for casual artists. Users appreciate its feature-rich design, including customizable brushes and support for Apple Pencil, though third-party stylus support is less effective. However, many express a desire for the app's availability on Android and other platforms, noting its limitation to iOS. Despite this, it remains recommended for its value and capabilities in creating digital art.

Positives: • Great intuitive features. • Makes drawing digitally really easy. • Lots of customization options, including importing brushes & swatches from others. • Can work with other styluses besides the Apple Pencil, but Apple Pencil really brings out the power of the software.

Drawbacks: • only available on iPad • free “trial” version (Procreate Pocket) only available on iPhone. Can install on iPad but isn’t designed for it. • 3rd Party stylus functionality but doesn’t work as well with them as it does Apple Pencil (might be a limitation of the hardware, might be because they only publish on iOS).

Overall: Well worth the $10. Definitely recommend for the professional AND for the casual artist with a couple bucks to spend.
