Procreate
A drawing and painting studio for iPad and Pencil
The verdict
Drawing on an iPad with Freeform or Notes gets frustrating once you want real brushes, layers and clean lines. Procreate has over 300 brushes you can rebuild in Brush Studio, QuickShape to snap shaky strokes into clean shapes, and desktop-style layers, all for $12.99 once with no generative AI. It runs on iPad only, so on iPhone you need the separate $5.99 Procreate Pocket.
Get it if
You own an Apple Pencil and want to paint or illustrate seriously, not just doodle.
Skip it if
You sketch a quick diagram once a month, and Freeform and Notes handle that for free.
