Simply essential

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

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

Would love the Offset Path option!

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

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.

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.

It would be nice to have a thing similar to Photoshop strip of recently used colors, with an ability to quickly convert one or several into proper swatches.
Probably a function that just add all used color into swatches automatically can be useful also, with a clear signaling it is active, to prevent accidental swatches bloating.

If one wants to add a color swatch, they can tap Plus button in Swatches section.
However there is no wat to add all colors from selected objects, you have to do it one by one, which is tedious.
Please make a way to adding selected colors into a color group or at least as an ungrouped set, just like Ai on desktop can do.

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.

On the desktop version they have a smooth tool where you can target specific lines and shapes. I use this tool constantly and was disappointed to not find it on the app version. It’s the major missing feature keeping me from using the app more often

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.

Can we please get the same feature as the desktop app for the ipad?

Artistic brushes with pressure variability with editable anchors

I don’t see a way to place .aic files which I’ve manipulated on iPad into an InDesign document. Is the format not supported or is this an issue of file handling? As a separate note, the file organization isn’t very intuitive for Illustrator cloud documents and the slow refresh can often hide files completely.
