With Procreate having been the longest-running one-off purchase app on the App Store that I know of (I literally bought my copy in 2010) I was on the edge of my seat to see whether they were going to finally follow the subscription trend for Dreams.

Even though I haven’t had a particular urge to get back into animation again, I think I’m going to have to buy this just to support this business and as a thank-you for 13 years of free updates to Procreate. And to do a little flipbooking for fun.

I’m a long time Procreate user and am shocked at the value I get out of it for the price. It’s definitely a killer app on the iPad and was the main reason why I picked up the Pencil.

Not to go off on too much of a tangent but thinking about animation on my iPad I was suddenly reminded of one of my favorite “toys” (tools?) from my childhood, The Etcha Sketch Animator:

This is great but also unfortunate. $19.99 feels too low for this — and I say this as someone who doesn’t use paid/subscription apps.

$2.99 would have been easily swallowable.

this just tells me they're still on VC money and looking to raise more. When they'll want to be profitable, they'll tighten the screw
