Re-draw line in the pencil tool, like in desktop In the desktop when you draw with the pencil over existing line it allow you to re-draw fro. That section on. I was really surprised this ability isn’t available in the first version- seems like a must for the iPad, and a big differentiator from procreate and raster tools

Distorting of objects, including skew and envelope warp options As available on the desktop app, the ability to distort objects and outlined text would be a very welcome feature.

Select objects with the same fill & stroke color in one click Awesome feature from Desktop version!!! It would be great if there a tool which can select all objects with the same fill and stroke color in one click

Selection marquee should be able to be displayed orthogonally when a view is rotated When dragging out a selection marquee on a rotated canvas with either of the Selection tools, the marquee is drawn aligned to the canvas instead of the screen.
The actual selection seems to be done in screen space - see the two attached screenshots, where my marquee was dragged from the lower left point of the marquee to the upper right, resulting in a displayed marquee that would select the sketch of hair above the eye, and an actual selection that only contains parts of the paths in the eye.
The expected behavior would be that the marquee was drawn…

Deselect on iPad I looked around and didn't find a shortcut/gesture to deselect anything, especially after using the pencil tool, In the pencil tool on the desktop version, there is an option to choose whether you want to keep last drawn line selected, or to keep it unselected.

control for number of points on a star The star tool doesn't have the ability to change the number of points like the polygon tool does. if you could add your star and then add multiple points and adjust the "pointyness" like the desktop app that would be good

Snap to Point Absolutely need the option to toggle on/off Snap to Point to enable the ability to drag an anchor point close to another and have it snap to that point.

Free transform tool Include a free transform tool that can actually transform selected shapes, groups etc. Similar to the free transform distort option in photoshop. The bounding box should not revert back to a rectangular box though it should remain distorted. This will make it much easier to distort artwork etc. to map to a specific plane.
