  1. 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.

  2. Swatches - Gradient, Pattern, and Etc

    Would be really nice to see swatches in a tab of its own, Currently it’s a little awkward to navigate through the small window and the swatches are very small making color combos difficult to distinguish. We’re also missing all the glory or gradient, pattern and misc swatches that are available on the desktop. Bring em to the iPad please :) !

    In addition a shortcut “i” for eyedropper tool would be great (or some version that is more aligned with the desktop possibilities and easy to grab color)

  4. Save to local storage/other options

    Ability to save files on the iPad´s local storage as well as other cloud services. Full integration with the Files app might be the way to go about this.

    In short, I don’t want Creative Cloud to be my only choice to save files.

  5. Incremental nudge

    The ability to nudge objects in any direction incrementally would be helpful to adjust the spacing accurately between objects, similar to using the cursor keys in the desktop version

  6. Easier way to share documents created between iPad Illustrator and iPad Photoshop

    Please consider consolidating the app libraries. So files created across all adobe apps are visible. Using creative cloud app is tedious, requires export of each file. I want to work more seamlessly between these adobe apps as I draw. Images attached show frustratingly separate libraries and I have yet to uncover good way to share across apps without uploading half finished projects to clouds

  15. Save Confirmation

    I have problem when i accidentally touch the back button, the canvas is automatically saved at the current progress, when we access the canvas again, changed progress we did before cannot be undo. My suggestion please make save confirmation, so we can cancel the back action when we accidentally press it, just like desktop version of AI. Thank you

  16. moving vectors between illustrator ipad docs

    i want a vector group from one of my illustrator on ipad docs to be brought to a different doc without having to redraw/remake the vector group. right now i can’t copy and paste from one doc to another. in the desktop illustrator you can drag vectors to different tabs/docs or copy and paste to different docs and i want to be able to have similar movement between documents on ipad.

  17. A FEW FEATURE IDEAS/TWEAKS

    1. Instead of having that "alt button"you have to visually search for, just make placing fingers anywhere on the canvas mean the same thing. 1 finger means shift and two fingers mean alt. "Shift" click should always constrain to 45 degree angles while using the pen tool, similar to desktop version. Affinity Designer on iPad does this really well.

    2. The ability to customize the quick menu. Make blending modes available along with the transparency option.

    3. Long press finger should always give you an eyedropper.

    4. Pen tool should give a preview line, like on desktop version.

    5. I shouldn't have to use a…

  18. Magic Alignment (Text)

    Spark’s Magic Align feature is great for certain text treatments. It would be great to adapt that feature for Illustrator as an added text alignment option.

  19. Please continue adding mouse/keyboard commands from the desktop version

    I’m loving where this is going... However, as a long-time illustrator user, I’m hoping more can be added to match the desktop version’s drawing speed.

    I’m missing these keyboard shortcuts:

    • Zoom in/zoom out keyboard command with the mouse click.
    • The ‘Bring to front/Send to back” keyboard command.
    • The “join points/average points” key command (cmnd-j)

    And while I love the ‘move point along line’ feature, by using the option key to enact it, we can’t change a corner-pull point as we can with the desktop version.

  20. We need good export options

    Not just more options, but the final size of the document, the quality, the color setting. I can’t count on a computer all the time, and when I export a pdf from Ipad Illustrator it’s way bigger than I need it, something that can have 250kb ends up exporting at 15MB. I literally have to export my document in AI format and then go to AFFINITY DESIGNER FOR IPAD if I want to have PROFESSIONAL exportation settings.
