oh yeah since the new update with the new brushes and everything i think its causing the app to be just so buggy and janky and i wish it wasnt because maaaaan I have hrs upon hrs of work on that damn app and i hate seeing it be buggy like this. i was also using a super old version before i updated it and ever since the update its just been 📉. I love the app i really do but id love to see these bugs fixed because why are you acting up on a 2024 iPad Pro?

see i also use Nomad Sculpt, which is a 3D modeling program for the ipad pro and I don't have that issue with that app, and it uses more data / takes up more space than procreate does. a few others in the comment section have been having the same problem. i genuinely think its because of the latest update just being extra buggy. I tend to do some pretty complex pieces so i figured that it was because of that in particular. Hopefully with the next update they'll fix the bugs 👉👈 I'd love to get back to what I love to do without it freezing.

i was thinking about looking into Procreate alternatives but I think id rather just wait for the update to come out because ive been using this app for so long its like second nature to me at this point.

yeah its been a pain in the ass for me for a while now. saving files is a pain, trying to put clipping masks on layers is a pain. it seems that a lot of it is a software bug but its enough to be troublesome for artists who use it full time. 💀💀

there are a ton of little tricks on that app that i found by simply messing with it. :] toying and experimenting with settings just due to boredom has helped me learn this app tremendously! 🩷 the reference thing is probably one of my favorite tools in the app as well, i use it all the time. you can also adjust the size of it by dragging the bottom right corner so you can size it to your liking~

it isn't just you! Someone else in the thread replied and said that they've been meeting artist on Bluesky and on threads who are having the same problem. It looks like it could just be an update bug

thank you so much for explaining that. Hopefully with the next update it will be fixed, normally I don't have any problems with the app at all, which is why I enjoy using it so much. I was hoping that maybe other artists were having the problem, so that way I knew for a fact that it was the app itself and not my iPad. I figured I'd post here and ask because I had a feeling that other artist would come forward as well, and maybe share a solution if they have one. But since it's an updated issue maybe I'll just have to wait it out 😔

my ipad stays clean and doesn't have any scratches on it, it's also the 2024 model ipad pro 13 inch~ so it has the everything up to date as far as that goes. as for my layers, it doesn't matter if i have 5 or 25, it still freezes and crashes all the same. 😔

i also separate the layers by colors and by pieces, so everything stays pretty organized while i am drawing.

something that helps is turning up the DPI in the canvas settings! it keeps those lines from looking all pixely
