There comes a time in a young app's life when it starts to experience certain… changes. Procreate Pocket is growing up, and shocked to discover it suddenly has Text in places it never had Text before. It's also noticing Liquify, Warp, QuickShape, Crop, Symmetry, Clipping Masks, Drawing Guides, and so much more.
• Text and Typography
Now that Procreate Pocket has reached textual maturity it's discovered the joy of importing fonts and slipping type into illustrations and designs. With elegant controls and powerful customisation options, your incredibly deep and original song lyrics have never looked better.
• QuickShape
No complex menus or tool swapping here: just draw any shape and watch it bend and snap to form flawless squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, and polygons like magic.
• Liquify
Now you can Pull, Expand, Pinch, and Twirl just the way you like it - but remember to lock your bedroom door first. Exclusive Edge and Crystal brushes add fine control and serendipity to your art, and you can enhance any adjustment with mind-bending Distortion and Momentum.
• Crop & Resize
Crop & Resize gives you the power to trim down or enlarge your canvas, and you won't even need those dubious emails from your spam folder.
• Advanced Drawing Guides
Structure your art using new 2D and Isometric Drawing Guides, and snap your strokes to your guide with Drawing Assist.
• Symmetry
Symmetry Drawing Guides mirror your strokes as you paint. Customize with half, quadrant, or radial options, and use mirror or rotational modes to create mind-blowing kaleidoscopic effects.
• Warp and Distort
With up to 16 nodes for fine control, you can wrap, fold, and curve your artwork to fit any angle.
• Improved Selections
Use new Shape Selections to quickly isolate elliptical or rectangular areas of your artwork. Feather your edges for soft and beautiful blending to take care of those pesky blemishes.
• Improved Inking
Precisely adjust the shape and size of your stroke taper: fully customizable pressure curves are now built directly into every brush for size, opacity, and bleed. If only it was always this easy to control your flow.
• Clipping Masks
Clipping Masks let you apply colours, textures, and dazzling effects to any layer. The base layer controls visibility and the clipping mask handles the rest.
• Transform Interpolation
Take the edge off your transformation results when you choose Bilinear, Bicubic, or Nearest Neighbor. Now you'll never be hard at inappropriate times.
• Gallery Preview
Pinch outward to view your artworks edge to edge, without any distractions. Tap or swipe for a slideshow - but if you swipe too far, you may see things you can’t unsee.
• Share Layers
Export multiple layers to a PDF, a folder full of PNG images, or express your feelings through the medium of animated GIFs.
• Brush Set Sharing
Now you can easily archive your brush sets, or share them freely with anyone who catches your eye.
• 30-Second Time Lapse
Export full length Time-lapses or begin your chosen career as a social media influencer with 30-second recordings. It is too a real job, Mom!
• View Single Layer
Give a misunderstood layer some alone time by holding the Visibility checkbox.
• QuickMenu
Access all your favourite features fast. Activated by double-tap or stylus button, this handy radial menu offers six customizable options.
• Redesigned interface
Keep the focus on your canvas, with everything you need to refine your illustration close at hand. Procreate Pocket has grown into its interface and is feeling cute. Might delete later.

We’d like to thank everyone who participated in Apps for Earth by purchasing Procreate Pocket.

Procreate Pocket, Apple and WWF are working together to protect life on our planet.

Procreate Pocket 1.6 has exciting new features like 3D touch pressure sensitivity, a new native Watch app, and a huge boost to performance.
We're thrilled to introduce painting with pressure sensitivity on your iPhone. Using your finger or any regular capacitive stylus you can adjust the brush size or opacity by adjusting the pressure of your stroke.
There's also a Shortcut to instantly create a new canvas on 3D Touch devices. Just hold the Procreate Pocket icon on the Home screen and boom.
There are massive speed improvements of up to double the frame rate across all supported devices. Live fast, die young. Actually, forget about that second part.
The Apple Watch app is reborn as Procreate Palette. It's also been upgraded to watchOS 2, which greatly improves the battery life and speed of response.
It's now easier to remove all the evidence with the new two-finger tap to Undo. There's also three-finger tap Redo, and four-finger tap to toggle fullscreen.
On iPhone 5 and over, Procreate Pocket now uses the full toolbar from Procreate for iPad when in landscape orientation. We love you no matter your orientation.
If you were lucky enough to have an iPhone with 3D touch you were unlucky enough to be unable to tap or drag layers. Your luck just got better.
Totally and completely, utterly unrelatedly, Alpha Lock is now accessed via the Layer Options menu rather than the swipe gesture.
Also we fixed a migration issue that caused pressure sensitivity to like, not work.
There's a bunch of little fixes and tweaks that we'd love to tell you about, but we think your time is better spent checking out Procreate Pocket 1.6 for yourself. If you think it's awesome, please leave an awesome review on the App Store.
