I feel the iPad pro upgrade is needed sooner rather than later with Pencil updates

Some cool new features there! Do you think fresco will ever make it to the desktop?

[Warren Heaton]

A desktop version of Adobe Fresco is available for Windows.  It would be great to see a macOS version.

Some iPad apps can run under macOS, but Fresco for iPad doesn't seem to be one of them.

Oh cool, I didn't know! I guess you could still use it on a Mac with parallels! Thanks for sharing! Hope all is well with you, Warren!

I guess this is the last round of Kyle T Webster brushes will probably get since he left gonna miss him. I'm excited to see who's gonna take over fresco. I really think if the fresco team looked at Adobe animate and took some of the simple animation things that are just in Adobe animated and added them to fresco fresco would become an even more powerful tool for a quick drawings quick paintings, charcoal, paint drawings, and animations I think the only thing fresco is lacking right now is being able to have animations within animations like symbols in animate being able to bring a video into it being able to add audio to your animations and maybe for those that like to do character animation, lip, sync, type tool.

Can we PLEASE have an option to enable color description like procreate. As a colorblind artist this has been a game-changing addition to Procreate, but I would much rather use Fresco. PLEASE add this feature!

If only there weren't so many glitches! My brand-new Apple Pencil Pro works perfectly in every app except Fresco, where it is very inconsistent. The pencil's not working constantly interrupts my workflow. I'm using a brand-new iPad Pro as well. My Gen 1 Apple Pencil was faultless on my 10-year-old iPad, but now that I've traded it in, Fresco is a nightmare. 

Do you have any suggestions? I've played with many settings with no success. 

Below is a video of my experience of the Apple Pencil Pro being very inconsistent and randomly making dots or nothing when I draw lines. 

Very disappointing.
