This app has the potential to be great based on appearance. I wouldn’t actually know what the product is like because before I can see anything or try anything, I have to purchase a subscription. Not a free trial, but a full one year subscription. I read the description of the app carefully and no where does it states users have to subscribe to use. While I understand the app creators of procreate are not connected to this app, maybe you all should partner and consumers can pay a flat fee for tools that would already be in procreate. Rather than consumers pay $12 for the actual app with no tools then are asked to pay $45 annually to use the tools.

In concept, packaging a set of templates and tools to help the spectrum of diverse Procreate users work more efficiently is great. Unfortunately, everything offered is underdeveloped and overly narrow. Unsaid is that the app is targeting amateur female fashion design and so what’s offered is of limited appeal to just about anybody else. Wanting to be thought of as more than this extremely restrictive niche community, the app suggests it can do everything. But it barely does anything. There is a category called "Interior design" with a whole section for "sofas." "Sofas" offers you one, ONE sofa in a handful of different colors. Everywhere this underdevelopment, is repeated. Nothing else. 99% of the people illustrated in the app are female except for fashion where this is not a single male reference. Again, all fine if this is marketed to 12 year old girls but to describe this as a set of tools for the broad range of Procreate users is delusional. AI Art and sound tools are included but feel duct-taped on to something that started as something else. And really, why make AI art creation part of an app geared towards people who take immense pride creating their *own* art? This app is a poorly executed version of an idea that has great potential with maybe 5% of what it could be getting realized in this incarnation. Hard pass. I canceled my free trial 2 hours after downloading the app.

This app definitely is not for free users. I understand a company needs to make money, but do you really need to pop up a whole page telling you to subscribe every time i want to look at a brush set? This isn’t even an exaggeration. This one choice makes this app a nightmare to navigate. It also becomes a pain because it goes all the way to the top when i exit a brush pack, so i have to scroll all the way back down to get back to where i was. This is definitely is not browsing friendly. It is not worth it for the free brushes they do offer. A lot of them are also locked behind following to their instagram? It just seems like a stretch to me. Sure it isn’t much, but still feels iffy that it tells me i have to follow them on insta to access a free brush. Brushes for procreate is a much more user friendly experience with a lot of free brushes to download that don’t require an insta follow. If you want to use a free app, skip this one and use something else. Or just look for brushes online. Some of my favorites were from Gumroad or other sites where people can share their brushes.

Look I’m no dummy I saw when I downloaded the app that it had in app purchases so I assumed going into it that there would be a good deal behind a paywall. What I wasn’t expecting was that you have to buy a subscription for anything you want to use from the app. There are no free tools that you can download or if there are they’re extremely hard to find. You can’t even open a tool collection to see what’s included without having to pay. It seems to me the only reason it’s not an app you buy is so they can get you to subscribe so they keep getting your money well after you’ve gotten the tools you’d actually like.They bombard you with “special” offers for discounts on subscriptions but it’s never really clear what the difference between the different subscriptions are. I’m truly surprised this app is rated so highly. It does seem well developed and runs well but it’s so annoying to try to see more details about the features they’re offering and have to pay to get any more information.
