  1. Would be great if you could get inspired by Procreate functions and workflow

    I love Illustrator on the PC and Procreate on the iPad. Procreate has lots of nice features that I would like to be seen in Illustrator for iPad, like how you use one or two fingers on the screen to control different things, selection tools etc...

  2. Double click on Apple Pencil switches between existing and previous tool

    I’m using Good notes 4 quite a lot with some handy feature to switch between tools, speeds up the workflow a lot, just by double clicking on the Apple Pencil.

  3. Automatic Side Panel Dismissal

    Side panels such as Layer and Properties expand out by tapping the icon and only retract back in by also tapping the icon. I would suggest having them automatically retract back in when you touch the work area as the color wheels do in the toolbar. This would save a lot of time.

  4. Load and use scripts

    Scripts can be amazing tools to improve workflow in a way actions cannot. It would be amazing to be able to load and use the ones I can use in the Desktop version.

  8. text input with apple pencil scribble

    please enable text input with apple pencil's scribble functionality that is part of iOS 14. in this way, after creating a text box I can directly write in it with apple pencil. better for mobile use of illustrator on ipad when hand held or on lap.

    Turn off rotate canvas... as in, I want to be able to turn my iPad upside down and not have the canvas move. (is there a way to lock it and I've missed it?)

  11. Export Single Artboard

    Right now it seems we have to export all artboards at once every time. It would be great if you could select one and only export that (great for when you need to update small changes to designs)

  14. Top menu bar

    This iPad illustrator needs to have a top menu bar with drop downs like the desk top version. With file, edit,and most of the other drop downs. I am a self taught user and have been using the desktop version for 26 years. it is the main tool I use for graphics for my screen printing business. I feel like I need to relearn with this IPad version and I don’t want to relearn I am getting to old

  15. Customizable shortcuts

    Make it just like the desktop version. I have many shortcuts customized in the desktop version and it would be great to have them in the ipad version. If you could import them it would be even better!

  17. 鉛筆ツールをデスクトップ版と同じ仕様で使えたら、すごく嬉しいです…!

    鉛筆ツールで一度引いた線を描き直すときに、デスクトップ版だとその線を少しなぞって描き始めるか、線の近くで描き始めるかをすれば、元の線を変更させて描くことができますが、iPad版だとこれができず、新しい別の線になってしまうのが、僕にとってはとても惜しくて残念です…。

    このために今はiPad版を使わず、デスクトップ版をMacのサイドカーでiPadに飛ばして、アップルペンシルで描いています。
    iPadだけでできたら、生活スタイルを変えられるくらい便利になると思っていますので、どうぞよろしくお願い致します…!

  20. Battery view

    I would really like to be able to see my iPads battery life while like actually illustrating. Goes for all y’all’s apps. These things pull battery. It’s nice to know where we’re at battery wise - and I have to exit out of my drawing to see it.
