  2. Pen tool additional menu

    When using the desktop and the Pen tool, I am constantly adding points, subtracting points, and adjusting Bezier curves.
    On the iPad, I can add points, but I cannot remove them.
    Having the additional menu that the selection arrow has would be very helpful for the Pen tool.

  3. Need to add the Area Type Tool

    I’d love to have the area type tool and other type functions from the desktop version added to the iPads version. I do a lot of work with a placed photo and type that flows around it. On the iPad I have to make multiple text containers instead of a vector shape for the text to flow within.

  5. Adobe illustrator for iPad Pro Vector Line editing

    The Ipad version off illustrator, really needs a way to edit vector lines after they have been drawn. I mean I don't think it's only me that sees line editing as one of the main reasons why I draw with vectors.

    Ipad should just as Vectornator be able to edit drawn vector lines and to smooth drawn vector lines, otherwise I may just draw with procreate..

    Same thing with adobe fresco vector lines.

    If those features would be added the program would be off great use.

  6. An automatic way for multi select by color, shape… (Select Same) for Illustrator iPad was we have in Illustrator desktop

    An automatic way for multi select by color, shape… (Select Same) for Illustrator iPad was we have in Illustrator desktop.
    Sometimes it’s impossible to select all I’ve already drawn or take so much time.

  7. Colour Picker Gesture like in Procreate

    Please make a Colour Picker Finger Gesture like in Procreate! At the moment its way too hard and fiddly to pick colours from the artboard.

    1. Press and hold down with your finger where you want to pull the color from.
    2. You'll see a circle take on your color.
    3. Wait for the color to appear in the color selection tool in the top-right corner of the screen.
    4. You now have access to the selected color.

  8. Attach nodes easily and lines control by clicks (touching the lines)

    The nodes end should be easily snap together.

    For now, I have trouble snapping the node ends.

    It should be a click away. Click, drag and snap.

    Then the line control. With powerful apple pen, it should be easy to edit or adjusting the lines, yes, other than nodes, playing around with the curve using pen should be easier than more options/popups and clicks.

    Make the learning curve shorter a few clicks.

  9. iOS Illustrator has no Apple Pencil specific features

    I find the Creative Cloud apps on my Apple iPad Pro do not proper take advantage of the Apple Pencil. Other apps can distinguish between Pencil input and finger inputs to provide better and more intuitive drawing. There are finger-Pencil combinations, finger vs Pencil input choices, and so on. For example, one of the more useful options I have seen in other drawing apps are the Pencil as the normal brush while the single finger is used for smudging or erasing. Adobe should adopt something like this. Optimally, a separate selection for each Pencil and finger inputs. Additional actions could…

  10. Eraser tool on the iPad should work with Shift and Option/Alt shortcuts (like desktop)

    On the desktop, Shift constrains the eraser to 45º and Option/Alt erases as a marquee.
    Can we please have the same functionality for the iPad? The touch shortcuts don't work with the eraser tool, and neither do the keyboard shortcuts. Thanks!

  11. Join Tool

    Like on the desktop version of Illustrator, where you can draw overlapping lines, then scrub through them at the intersections to trim them off and simultaneously join them into a single anchor point.
    Something like vector trimming on Fresco, but for anchor points.

  12. Did Adobe really made this? It feels like a knockoff app.

    Illustrator iPad feels like one of those ‘free lite versions’ you can download before purchasing a full version.

    Limited EVERYTHING, buggy, likes to quit on you half the time, and they charge you money for it.

  13. Spiral Tool Preview Checkbox

    Outside of using the default values for the Spiral tool, it's always been difficult to get real precision with respect to altering the decay while dragging and holding CMD / CNTRL. It would be super flexible if the tool had a Preview check box. Turning it on would generate a wireframe of the shape with the default values. Then we could try different settings to get the shape we want and then click Ok to produce the shape.

  14. Reference Points for transformations.

    Please can we have Reference Points in the Transform tool section like in desktop illustrator?

    They offer much greater control and repeatability in comparison to black box tools like “Distribute”.

    Thanks

  15. Include the ability to resize (scale), rotate and manipulate selected points

    There should be an option to be able to resize and manipulate selected points in artwork. Maybe once the points have been selected there could be a scale tool modifier? Or a specific scale tool in the toolbar...

  17. Vectorize Now button to apply chosen options instead of live update

    I would like to recommend adding a "vectorize now" button and only have something vectorized when I press that button. Right now, vectorizing occurs every time I change an option, which is very time consuming. Thank you!!

  18. French Curve tools. I used it with the older version of Adobe Draw for iPad when Apple Pencil was released. I need it put back.

    French Curve tools. I used it with the older version of Adobe Draw for iPad when Apple Pencil was released. I need it put back. As a clothing designer I’m writing a design pattern drafting book. I started the project years ago using the French Curve tools that were available in the Adobe Draw app that is no longer available. I need those tools to complete my book project. Drawing pattern drafts require those tools. Please put the French Curve tools back into the tools area for the iPad Adobe Illustrator app to be used with Apple Pencil. I can’t…

  19. Command bar in app

    It would be great to have an IN APP COMMAND BAR to;

    access each menus and options from NAV BAR in all ADOBE TOOLS especially PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR, IN DESIGN..

    With a simple key combination; a COMMAND BAR appears to reach quicky to menu item with text writing. Eg: COMMAND+SHIFT+P

    By adding this option to all CREATIVE CLOUD APPS, people no need to modify SHORTCUTS or no need to EXPLORE NEW SHORTCUTS.

    It's the new way of reaching all options to NAV MENU CONTENTS from ONE, SIMPLE COMMAND BAR. CURRENT ACTIONS or User created ACTIONS Names will be listed.

    Thank you…

  20. Background removal Tool

    One Reason I keep my Canva subscription is because they offer a background removal tool for photos. Sometimes when I am designing on my iPad I need to perform a background removal. Canva has an amazing tool for this. If Adobe offered an equally effective background removal tool for photos in illustrator for iPad it would make my life easier and would render Canva unnessisary.
