Restore anchor point long hold to delete anchor points.Previously, when performing a long press with the direct select tool on an anchor point, it would delete that anchor point. Using the "delete anchor point" button on the floating menu is now the only option, but the long press method is just simpler and saves a lot of effort. A nice way to restore this option is to have it as a feature that you can turn on/off in prefrences. 12 votes

Photoshop EffectsWhen I add Photoshop Effects on Mac and then open the file on iPad I can't edit them or add them. If I move an object with an effect on it the effect goes away and won't come back even if you hit undo. I have accidentally moved an object and it lost the effect so I have to wait till I can go on my Mac to fix it. 12 votes

Make Illustrator for iPad and Adobe Library more pattern-friendlyEditing and scaling patterns on the iPad is nearly impossible. Ist would be great if the options would be similar as in the desktop version, where scaling, editing, changing the colour of patterns etc. is with the swatches easily done. 
 Also if patterns could be saved to the adobe library it would simplify the working process immensely.12 votes

We need good export optionsNot 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. 12 votes

Touch Modifier to Constrain Handles to 90º or 45ºIt’d shave off a lot of time and make my workflow smoother to be able to use a touch modifier (like what’s currently in the bottom left hand corner) to constrain the handles to perfectly horizontal, vertical, or diagonal angles, much like holding shift would do on the desktop version. 12 votes

Swipe to selectBeing able to let touch-input (swipes) automatically switch it over to the selection tool, and have the use of the Apple Pencil always change it back to the previous tool. 12 votes

Stroke opacity on shapesWould love to have Stroke opacity setting on shapes, as on desktop Ai. Now, for example, I must create a filled shape and then add another shape only with stroke, if I want to tweak the stroke’s opacity. Also width tool should be a must on iPad! 11 votes

Allow pencil to retrace a shape instead of creating a new oneRight now when I want to edit a shape I've drawn w/ the pencil tool I have to use the anchor edit tool. Can you make it so I can just retrace the shape in a certain area by drawing over an anchor point similar to how it is in the desktop application? 11 votes

Pen line optionsIt appears that the blob brush for Illustrator on the iPad has different stroke options (chisel, flat, round, etc.), whereas the pen tool only has a uniform line option at this time. 
 Please add the different pen stroke types for the iPad! It was such a useful tool and allowed for great line variation!11 votes

Incremental nudgeThe 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 11 votes

Please continue adding mouse/keyboard commands from the desktop versionI’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. 11 votes

Import AI files directly from desktop version to IpadOS versionI want to work on the same AI file that I made on the desktop Adobe Illustrator on my IPAD. Currently, there is no cross-compatibility and I cannot import my .AI files. If there is, the compatibilty needs to be more noticable and import needs to be easier. 11 votes
