      Disadvantages:

      1. Limited Compatibility: Only available for iOS devices, which limits its accessibility to other operating systems like Android and Windows.
      2. Limited Features: Primarily designed for digital painting and drawing, and it lacks some of the advanced features found in other professional software programs. It does not have a 3D modeling or animation feature, making it less versatile.
      3. Steep Learning Curve: Complex interface, and it can be difficult to master its many features. It can take some time to learn how to use all the tools efficiently.
      4. Limited Text Options: Not the best choice if you require text-based projects. It has limited text editing tools, and it is not suitable for creating high-quality typography.
      5. File Sharing: Sharing files with others can be challenging, especially if they don’t have Procreate installed on their device.
      6. Cost: Is a paid app, which may not be suitable for users on a tight budget. It is also costly for those who may only require it for occasional use.
      7. No Auto-Save: Does not have an auto-save feature, which means that you may lose your work if the app crashes or your device runs out of battery. It is important to save your work frequently manually.
