Phone-first drawing workspace with customizable compact controls

PLEASE ADD

* 🔲 Resizable reference window
* ↔️ Adjustable size for the side controls, the black control looks big and out of place on screen on the side
* 🎨 More of the original Procreate brushes/features like on the iPad to iPhone
* ⚙️ An option to customize the interface.
* 📱 A “compact controls” mode for smaller screens
* 🖥️ An option to make the interface look much closer to the iPad version, It isn’t fair how we don’t have these kinda things in the app.
This app genuinely seems like a project to get people to buy their more expensive iPad app. I think I bought it in 2021 and since then it has received absolutely ZERO (0) updates of note, whereas I see Procreate for the iPad receive a ton of attention from the devs. It still feels like a drawing app made for where iOS was in 2016, the controls are still clunky and pretty unintuitive even for people who spent a lot of time trying to make the app feel natural. Things like layer editing and effects are still buried behind multiple layers of menus despite there being square miles of unused white space on either rotation mode of the screen… I respect the idea of wanting to create an app for people who want to draw but don’t have an iPad…. But you need to make the app actually usable, let alone good. Over time is one thing, but setting on “never” is just sad, especially when you have a full-featured iPad app you refuse to even port features over from… this makes me not want to upgrade to your full app, even though I have an iPad myself! Do you as devs, as a company, not realize your iPad monopoly is being eaten away at by Affinity? You’re gonna let Canva corp eat your lunch to save your empty pantry? I see you are responding to a lot of reviews though, I would love to hear from you!
