Inkpad tools
I'm preferring Inkpad app (which has open source software) for vector drawing as it has these functions that makes it easier to draw. maybe you guys could implement these to get the Illustrator app to that level:
- shape draw tool in the toolbar
- add anchor point tool on the toolbar
- double tapp point to change point type
- drag, hold an tap to change the anchors

Please add shift-click when using the keyboard to draw 45-degree or 90-degree paths with the Pen tool.
In the desktop version, it is possible to draw lines at 90-degree or 45-degree angles when using the Shift key when creating paths with the pen tool.

Recreate gestures to replace touch “button” when using Apple Pencil
Instead of having a physical touch button to mimic alt and shift, maybe draw inspiration from iPad only apps like Procreate to make the iPad Illustrator as useful as the desktop version.
Couple of ideas:
1. Decrease the affect palm movements have when using Apple pencil, and only respond to gestures and menu-taps when using Apple Pencil.Make it an option to use the physical gesture button or not.
2.a When not using a pencil it could be useful
2.b When using pencil, using finger gestures instead of a button would give more and quicker options.You can make it…

Remember last settings used
Every time I open the app I have to set up the blob brush tool and the pressure dynamics again, because the app doesn’t save the settings when I close it.

Make Desktop and iPad versions look the same
It would be a lot easier if both versions of Illustrator (desktop and iPad) looked the same, especially for new learners.

See the outline of art board underneath images
I can’t see the outline of the art board underneath images, so when an object or image runs off the art board because I want to place it there, I can’t see how it’s sitting on the art board.

Better precision cursor on the art board
The native cursor is all right for navigating menus and such but I feel it’s too clunky for using on the canvas. Or I suppose it would also be nice if the cursor could snap to points on a path.

Combine objects
It would be great to be able to combine objects into one shape, because now, it looks like you can more "group" objects not combine it into one. When you need to print design its essential to be able to do it.
Now I can combine to one shape only by adding by Apple pencil tool one shape to another and it takes a lot of time...2 votes -
Dark mode - layer thumbnails and combine shapes panel hard to see
When Illustrator (iPad) is in dark mode, the layer thumbnails also have a black background. This makes seeing objects in the thumbnails difficult. I see similar legibility issues in the combine shapes panel.
Of course, this is when I'm creating dark or black colored shapes, or just working with outlines without fills.
But, the desktop Illustrator maintains the light colored backgrounds for the layer thumbnails. Maybe it's just a consistency shock for me, but I'd like them to look the same...
Thanks!

More hotkeys for Patterns and Repeats
I am a fashion designer and being able to use and make print and fabric swatches from images are essential features I use everyday. Other than that, we do need more shortcuts. I am still 100x quicker on Illustrator pc, as I know all my shortcuts which I can’t leave without. Ai on IPad still doesn’t live up to a standard which I can see myself using daily. Which is a shame, I would love to sketch while sitting on my sofa...

Polygon tool
Hi, it would be great if — along with square, circle, triangle and star — there was a polygon option like on the desktop app.

Need the ability to make strokes smaller than 1pt.
I bought my iPad Pro with the intention to use it for architecture and doing the line weights on them after exporting from rhino 6. The issue is I often make the line weights well below 1 pt when doing smaller scaled drawings. With out this ability, adobe is useless on my IPad.

Possibilité de vectoriser un fichier PSD ou Procreate depuis Ai IPad
Bonjour, il serait vraiment pratique de pouvoir vectoriser un document psd ou Procreate depuis Illustrator IPad, pour des logos etc qui auraient été créé sur d’autres logiciels non vectoriels.
Merci 🙏

Choose the distance between each artboard copy
When I have some element outside the artboard it can be annoying when you want to duplicate it. It moves the outside element of the original artboard.
It could be a good feature if we could choose the distance between each copy.
