Simply essential

Add guides and rulers to Illustrator iPad. It is very difficult to align objects and layouts accurately without them!

Please please please give us a shortcut for eye dropper. I can’t fathom how this was overlooked. AI for iPad is virtually useless for me, and doubtless others, without it. Its nice to not be chained to my desktop for work.

Add right-to-left language support, Persian, Arabic, Urdu... etc

Would love the Offset Path option!

The ability to smooth sections of a path after it’s drawn is a key feature. Also the ability to use a ‘variable size brush’ beside a path to push sections of a path. The app ‘concept’ is still more valuable to me as a vector tool as far as features go.

I am a senior art director with over 20 years experience working with Adobe products

Same as on the full version, something that’s definitely missing from the iPad version.

Live paint bucket tool

Please please please, introduce this tool for the iPad.

This one of my favorite features in Illustrator.

Thank you.

Would be lovely to have more control of the pencil tool. I simply tried doing my signature and it was getting all distorted because the points were connecting wherever they pleased... impossible getting line right when working on smaller details. Pencil Tool would be extremely helpful to have for future work. Thank you kindly.

Tha Same from desktop app, for stepped transitions.

I am a surface pattern designer, so please expand the pattern options tile types to include those available in AI desktop: brick by row, brick by column, and the hex options as well.

I couldn’t find an export to jpg option, It’s a very common format I was surprised it wasn’t included.

In addition to that a slices option would be great.

Artistic brushes with pressure variability with editable anchors

When creating a new document I can’t figure out how to change ppi. Once in a document I can see in “info” that my ppi is 72, but again, can’t see a way to change it

procreate has a feature that lets you make your lines straighter, and your drawings into perfect shapes!

It would be really useful for me to be able to set the viewing percentsge to “actual size”. Something Apple’s Pages on iPad already does.

100% zoom is actually much smaller than real print size. What I end up doing is creating a 1cm square in Illustrator and aligning it with a physical ruler to get actual size.

The align tool currently will align two objects together but doesn’t allow for align to key object like desktop version

ability to be able to select glyphs available for fonts like you’re able to in the desktop app such as adding a swoosh or different ligatures for example
