Why 4 Stars?
I LOVE this app genuinely so much and I love the amount I can make and do, I can work so nicely but wish there were more tools, I wish specific selection could be symmetrical and I think more than one reference window open at a time would be AMAZING, I am working on commissions and I hate switching between tabs because I want to see both at once so I can ensure it looks right from afar :’) it’s way to tedious having to switch back fourth so PLEASE add an extra reference window option!

Wonderful App - Better iPad widgets please!!
Such a good app for true artists and hobbyists. Only downside on the iPad is that the widgets suck a bit. Why is the only widget “recent artwork”? Why not pinned boards or stacks? Even a “created on this day” widget would be cool. Most artists have such a depth of work in Procreate, it is a shame to not have more widgets with our work available! Would be a killer update for an app that is iPad-only…
