  1. Include all free form gradient options and gradient meshes from the desktop version.

    Having only point–based free form gradients is far to restrictive. We should at least be able to use free form line gradients and gradient meshes.

  2. Double tap gets you to select tool

    Select tools is really useful. So if you use any tool should be a quick way to get to select tool. It will also be logical that if you get to select tool and you double tap it gets you back to the same tool you were using.

  3. Colour in texture

    The nice thing about Procreate is you can add texture with a brush. It feels fluid. It will be nice if illustrator. iPad had a feature similar to the brushes Procreate use. So you can easily add in textures within masks or over your design. This will also be a useful integrated feature and unique for iPad so you can create designs on the Mac and then have the ease of using your Apple Pencil to colour in texture. Bridging the gap between illustrator desktop and iPad.

  4. Use tools with trackpad

    It seems that keyboard support is there as I can use shortcuts to select tools, but I cannot draw a path or manipulate objects with the trackpad. Please allow trackpad support for drawing and editing objects.

  5. Full screen preview shortcut / Artboard Panning / Rearrange Artboards

    Currently there isn’t a way to view artboards in a preview mode without the background clutter (would be the equivalent of “Shift +F” shortcut on desktop). There also isn’t a way to rearrange or pan through or your art boards, as you would do via the arrow keys on the desktop version.

    Aligning the viewing shortcuts with the desktop version would make viewing and navigating the IPad version so much easier!

  6. Create colour library to use on all documents in the app

    Apparently this is not yet available to do. For designers that can only use certain colours on print products this is very frustrating

  9. Keep touch modifier on right

    I’m left-handed so I would like the touch modifier to always be on the right when I open/create a document while keeping the tools on the left (not all lefties want their tools on the right). Thanks!

  13. Attach nodes easily and lines control by clicks (touching the lines)

    The nodes end should be easily snap together.

    For now, I have trouble snapping the node ends.

    It should be a click away. Click, drag and snap.

    Then the line control. With powerful apple pen, it should be easy to edit or adjusting the lines, yes, other than nodes, playing around with the curve using pen should be easier than more options/popups and clicks.

    Make the learning curve shorter a few clicks.

  16. Import image? Surprised this isn’t already a feature.

    Trying to import images of boat plans to digitize into 3D models... but there isn’t an ‘import image’ option. There is only work arounds that say to import image into Adobe illustrator Draw, and that should upload it to Adobe Cloud and it should work. Well, it doesn’t. Adobe Cloud cannot sync “at this time. Try again later”
    Very disappointed and let down. I’ve been waiting years for this to arrive on the iPad, and it’s just as useless as whatever Illustrator Draw was supposed to accomplish.

  17. Open a .ai file located on the creative cloud.

    The import and open option within the app places my .ai as an image within a new document instead of opening the .ai file.

  18. 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.

  19. Snap to path intersections

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