Freezes very easily.
After about 4 shapes everything froze.

We have not been able to see this issue at our end. Need more information to have it resolved
a) Is this happening on a new document or on an existing Ai document?
b) Is this happening consistently – for each document?
c) Please provide details about RAM and free space on iPad.
d) If possible, if you can attach a video capturing the issue.

I have iPad 8th generation I purchase just for Illustrator. It seems to work fine for awhile then just freezes or crashes. I thought it was just my iPad but I see I'm not the only one having this problem. So discouraging!

Nonstop. I can’t even resize an image without it taking forever then crashing.

I’m having the same issue. It went back and forth like that and it took me hours to fix just one simple image.

Having the same issue,
App freezes after a few strokes and becomes non responsive.It’s disheartening to see this original post was made in 2020 and it’s now almost 2022 with no fix?
I bought a brand new iPad 9th gen and Apple Pencil specifically to use illustrator. - it’s the only app I’ve installed so far.
Please Adobe fix the issue or I won’t be able to use it.

Very frustrating. November 2021 version freezes when choosing a font on iPad Pro 2020. Didn’t save any of my work for at least an hour. Awful.

Same issue! It’s frustrating forking out so much money for the subscription and also to buy this iPad just so I could use illustrator and it doesn’t even work!
It’s become worse each time I’ve used it, now it’s at the point of doing 1 stroke and it freezes.

This is still happening…. 1year later. What is the deal Adobe? We expect more from you.

Same thing is happening to me it will freeze after 45 seconds of doing work then I have to close out of the app and swipe up and once I go back in it doesn’t even save my work. Honestly, it’s so frustrating and feels pointless to use… It’s wasting so much time and erasing so much work.
