Include the ability to resize (scale), rotate and manipulate selected points
There should be an option to be able to resize and manipulate selected points in artwork. Maybe once the points have been selected there could be a scale tool modifier? Or a specific scale tool in the toolbar...

Precise Text Size and Spacing Slider
A more snappy unit for text size and line spacing adjustment slider.
It is difficult to get a precise clean number with the current slider.
For example when I wanted to change a text size from 30 to 40 with the slider, it always ended up with numbers such ash 40.73 or 40.28
A more snappier slider that only move to round numbers or .5 increments would be easier to use.5 votes -

Swatches and eye dropper tool
I would like to see an eye dropper tool and the swatches panel in Illustrator for iPad. The eye dropper tool would be useful for selecting colors in a photo and applying those colors to a shape. The swatches panel would be useful for selecting textures and previous colors that were used.

Snap to path intersections
Example: when two circles’ paths are overlapping, the points where they overlap should become snappable points. See attached video.

Reverse compatibility between IPad and desktop files, currently I can export from iPad to desktop. But desktop Ai files don’t export to iPad
Making it so that I can move my work seamlessly between my iPad and my desktop. iPad Air has some great features I cannot recreate on my desktop and vice versa. The one way compatibility is stunting my workflow and makes it impossible to have a positive workflow between the two.

A must tools as like desktop version
Complete shape tool, width tool, transform tool, effect tools, smooth tool, fix/ pin contextual bar, stroke tool on contextual bar, if I use there it always changes edge and corner from the origin. Which is more work, than change it from properties.

Do Not Change/Select Random Colors When Creating Gradients
When switching from a Solid color to a Gradient, the app will choose a (seemingly) random secondary color in order to visually show the gradient effect.
I would prefer that all points of the gradient maintain the singular ‘Solid’ color.
This is because I very often want to create a subtle gradient between a darker and lighter shade of the originally chosen color. More often than not, I need to copy the original color back into the new gradient point and then go from there - which can be frustrating because the app is making decisions for me that I…

Multi-Select multiple files to move, delete, duplicate, etc. all at once
I’d like the option to select as many files as I’d like on the Your Files page, so that I can move them all to a an existing folder, create a new folder and move them inside, duplicate or delete all files at once.

French Curve tools. I used it with the older version of Adobe Draw for iPad when Apple Pencil was released. I need it put back.
French Curve tools. I used it with the older version of Adobe Draw for iPad when Apple Pencil was released. I need it put back. As a clothing designer I’m writing a design pattern drafting book. I started the project years ago using the French Curve tools that were available in the Adobe Draw app that is no longer available. I need those tools to complete my book project. Drawing pattern drafts require those tools. Please put the French Curve tools back into the tools area for the iPad Adobe Illustrator app to be used with Apple Pencil. I can’t…

Could snapping work on everything? Anchor points, intersections, center points?
I can't get these grouped pivot point circles to align precisely enough to be usable. Rotate center can't snap to anything either.
In the Desktop version, everything snaps precisely and its great for making these little articulating animal designs, which I then laser cut. I’d LOVE this functionality on my iPad, to design on-the-go as I hoped I’d be able to.4 votes -
Being able to import Fresco iPad brushes to iPad illustrator and save them permanently to the illustrator brush library.
Fresco has a great set of brushes. It would improve Illustrator on the iPad immensely if they were interchangeable and could be added to the illustrator iPad brush menu permanently.

Make CC library (sub)folders and folder names visible
I work with various projects that each has separate collections, so I have my color swatches sorted accordingly into each collection folder in my CC Libraries for each project - which is great when I switch from Illustrator to Photoshop and other desktop programs. But on iPad version of Illustrator all swatches are in one huge messy mix of swatches without any kind of (sub)folders visible - I can´t believe that this basic functionality is still missing. Hope it will be improved very soon!

An eyedropper like the desktop that samples swatches, can apply appearances
If you apply global swatches to your artwork on the iPad, you can't use the eyedropper to accurately sample those colors/swatches to other objects. The eyedropper reads the color, but the formula numbers are slightly off, and it applies this to the object, rather than applying the swatch. Also, when I create a swatch on the iPad using whole numbers, when I open the file on the desktop, the swatch has decimal numbers. You can't type in any decimals on the iPad, and yet they are there on the desktop. Designers need accurate swatch functionality and a better eyedropper on…

Finger Gesture Workflow
I just started my trial for illustrator on iPad, and Im already upset because of this touch modifier button. Why am I forced as a user to use this touch modifier button? Why can’t I just use a 1 finger or 2 fingers ANYWHERE on the ipad screen to do primary and secondary behaviors? I dont want to use this touch modifier. I instead want to use my fingers because its easier and faster.
I hate how I SPECIFICALLY have to tap on this touch modifier button to do primary and secondary behaviors for different tools and actions. I want…

Blend Tool (for Illustrator iPad) Should also work for Font
at the moment blend for Illustrator iPad works only for Paths and isn’t applicable for fonts unlike in Illustrator for Desktop, hope this feature would be applied to future updates for the iPad version. Thank you very much.

Hand tool and scrolling with the mouse, horizontal scrolling as well (like a computer)
The shortcut H does not work on the ipad pro to access the hand tool, while this is the case on a computer. Scrolling up and sideways is also very important for my workflow. This is important for me to be able to pan around as I am using my iPad Pro as a laptop replacement.

Smart guides in Mirror Tool
I would love to see the mirror tool use smart guides. It is so hard to try and line up shapes without it.
