                We were able to ship support for Art and Calligraphic Brushes in our 2.0 release. But there is more to be done for Import / Export of (atleast) these Brush types. We’re keeping this thread open for your feedback. Thank you!

 commentedIpad illustrator brushes needs a lot of work, I find myself having to go back to affinity designer every time I need to use custom brushes. It’s very difficult if not impossible to achieve what I’m looking for as it is in illustrator

      Ciara Mac Cormac commented Importing brushes is problematic - import file is blank and brushes have not been brought in to the document as they should (and as they do on desktop). Have tried this with several files from different providers with no luck.

      Will Saenz commented I just bought a whole mess of brushes for Photoshop/Illustrator, but a lot of these I can't use on Illustrator for iPad, which is a bummer because I feel like I'm getting less value for my purchase. This would be a game changer imo.

 commentedWe need the ability to import custom made or purchased brushes directly into the iPad brush tool. This is a major issue and would solve several other issues I have with the iPad version of the software.

      Die Elektrohexë commented So, 2023 is in it's second half now for quite some time, and we all wonder, when Illustrator on the Ipad becomes a fully usable product with the option to import and make custom brushes.

      Elena L. commented Any ETA on when all brushes options would be finally available on iPad? 
 We desperately need to be able to use scatter and pattern brushes on iPad, this is a major tool for many design industries!

      J Chev commented Why are we still waiting for the ability to import brushes on the iPad app? When will this feature be finally available?

      Tammy Rodriguez commented Please, this has been requested for so long that multiple other graphics programs for the iPad have already incorporated it and you are about to lose yet another graphic artist to a competitor. As a teacher I have to keep up with my student’s innovative thought process but Illustrator is proving to be an archaic dinosaur as user requests are ignored. Functionality for the user is key - why should I continue to pay a monthly subscription for a product that doesn’t evolve to meet user need? That is quickly losing functionality?

 commentedIs it possible to get a rough time frame for this development? 
 The app is useless for so many project without this function.

 commentedPlease, for the love of everything holy, let us import vector brushes like you can in the desktop version (and was already a functional feature in sketch/draw). It's such a massively important feature for us illustrators and the fact it wasn't available at launch is mind boggling. Please make the vector brush editor actually useful while you're at it (line weight, pressure taper, dual brush, pattern, texture, etc). These aren't cutting edge features that are too powerful for an iPad; it's incredibly basic stuff that's the cornerstone of why people use digital drawing platforms in the first place.

 commentedPlease make an option to save created brushes permanently to use for new documents too. Just spent hours to creating brushes and realized when i saved them and open a new document they are not there. 
 Please solve this issue!

      Lucas Saralidze commented Please add option to import brushes to illustrator this is such a shame you guys....

      Joshua Sanker commented Finally got the ipad and can't believe there is no way to upload brushes. This is going to make a lot of us turn to programs like Affinity Designer that are far cheaper and more advanced in allowing the importing of vector brushes. Illustrator is my favorite program on the computer, but it's hard to believe they are so far behind on the app. Tough to use this app for work without the import option. Bummer!

 commentedAs everyone has already said, adding and saving brush settings is a MUST.
