  1. 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…

  3. Trackpad / Mouse Panning Function

    The current panning function is only possible for touch with 2 fingers.
    Would be really nice to have a panning function or tools like the desktop version when used on desktop mode (using ipad with external keyboard & mouse/trackpad)

  6. Better guides for pen tool. Make 90º lines easier

    Make 90º lines easier. Only straight lines option like in affinity designer. This is fundamental for any work that is symetric basically!

  7. Set default stroke Line width

    It would be useful to be able to set a new default line/stroke weight or set it before you star drawing. Currently the option in the side menu only appears once you have started a line and resets when you start a new layer. I almost always need a 0.25 weight yet have to constantly either start a line and go back and set from 1 back to 0.25

  10. 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)

  15. Glyphs and ligatures for text (in OTF)

    Not being able to access the glyphs and ligatures on an OTF font has meant that I cannot use AI on my iPad. And since that’s my primary tool for design these days, I’ve stopped using Adobe completely. I liked AI on my laptop and I need the iPad to have that full functionality before I can use it again.

  16. Change color mode to CMYK on the iPad App

    I need to export a flyer design to a print site, but it needs to be in CMYK colors, not just RGB.

  17. Swatches panel / fill color

    Easier way to select color and fill in color is needed! Having to select on the color tool every time and then from there select the eye dropper tool every time you need to change a color is way to much work. Make the swatch panel always visible on screen. There should be a shortcut or something where you can hold down to fill with selected color or a live paint bucket tool. Also, making a color palette in swatches and being able to save it so you can use it in other files.

  18. 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.

  19. Symbols, Symbol sprayer, sizer, and other symbol tools

    Symbols in general are very useful, but especially the symbol tools could benefit from the Apple Pencil greatly, helping in making things such as starry skies or simple textures quickly, easily, and with the precise paths and shapes one may want for those textures or stars. It would also make the iPad illustration process a bit more procedural while remaining intuitive.

  20. Turn off rotate canvas

    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?)
