Swatches panel / fill color
Easier way to select color and fill in color is needed! Having to select on the color tool every time and then from there select the eye dropper tool every time you need to change a color is way to much work. Make the swatch panel always visible on screen. There should be a shortcut or something where you can hold down to fill with selected color or a live paint bucket tool. Also, making a color palette in swatches and being able to save it so you can use it in other files.

Align dashes to corners and fit length
On desktop, there is an option to adjust the dash/gap corners so that it fits the stroke/shape. There is no option for this on the iPad, and I would really like to see this asap so I can make dotted boxes.

Locate and find selected paths in layers panel
When the artwork becomes more complex, it’s almost impossible to locate selected object in layers panel, except doing it manually. You should mark the layer, group, clip group, that contains the selected object. Just like you did with a little square on the right side of the layers panel on desktop version.
Keep on with such a great work!2 votes -
Allow pencil to retrace a shape instead of creating a new one
Right now when I want to edit a shape I've drawn w/ the pencil tool I have to use the anchor edit tool. Can you make it so I can just retrace the shape in a certain area by drawing over an anchor point similar to how it is in the desktop application?

iPad copy/paste Mac
I can’t copy/paste stuff between Illustrator on my iPad and on my Mac and it’s a bit annoying… I also can’t really paste stuff in Illustrator on the iPad from the internet
Is it possible to change that?7 votes -
Glyphs and ligatures for text (in OTF)
Not being able to access the glyphs and ligatures on an OTF font has meant that I cannot use AI on my iPad. And since that’s my primary tool for design these days, I’ve stopped using Adobe completely. I liked AI on my laptop and I need the iPad to have that full functionality before I can use it again.

PDF export options (e.g crop marks and bleed)
This is one feature that would really help my workflow! Also the option to select different PDF formats e.g 2001 etc would help. Affinity offers this but in a really confusing format.

Share link for only selected artboards
Currently when you share a link for review, it creates a link with all your artboards. So instead, I would like to select the artboards I would like share on the link.

Toggle to disable closing of pencil lines
In the full version of Illustrator it is possible to turn off pencil lines from auto-closing by checking the “close paths” toggle off in the pencil options but it seems there is no option to turn this off for the pencil tool on iPad Illustrator. Very annoying when creating lots of short strokes and a good amount of them close into a shape.

Knife / Slice & Scissor tools
Available under the “erase” tool just as they are on the desktop. Or make a shortcut key to erase in straight lines, currently there isn’t an easy way to break paths.

Font search by typing the name instead of scrolling through list
Let me search for fonts by typing, rather than scrolling through a long list. In the future it would also be great if I could have some filtering features (serif, sans, script etc…)

Photoshop Effects
When I add Photoshop Effects on Mac and then open the file on iPad I can't edit them or add them. If I move an object with an effect on it the effect goes away and won't come back even if you hit undo. I have accidentally moved an object and it lost the effect so I have to wait till I can go on my Mac to fix it.

Add the option to change the dpi of document because we only have 72 dpi on ipad. We somewhat need to have 300 dpi.
i have recently purchased illustrator and thought that i can design tshirts using my ipad but it sucks since the dpi is fixed to 72. Can you please add an option to change it and set to highest dpi like 300. it would be a great help for designers like me. Thank you.
