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)

A FEW FEATURE IDEAS/TWEAKS
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.
The ability to customize the quick menu. Make blending modes available along with the transparency option.
Long press finger should always give you an eyedropper.
Pen tool should give a preview line, like on desktop version.
I shouldn't have to use a…

Enable transform tool to move elements by a specific measurement (Move Dialog)
I am a pattern designer and it would be so helpful if the Properties panel, you could type in a measurement into the transform tool, to make your elements move a specific amount that you designate. For example if I have an element on the left of my screen and I want to duplicate it and move it to the right to make a repeating pattern — let’s say I’m using an 8” screen size — it would be wonderful to add to the x or y numbers +8” or +4”, etc.
This would be a great feature for surface…

Add color palettes to library
It would be nice if we could add the color palettes created in Illustrator on iPad to the cc library to be able to access these from the desktop as well. This was a feature I missed in Fresco as well. It would be nice if we could just select color swatches from the document and add all the colors to a group at the same time, just like in the desktop version.

Creative Cloud Libraries on ipad?
I'm sure this is in the pipeline, but it's odd that Creative Cloud Libraries isn't available on the iPad version of Illustrator. I have searched the web front-to-back and can't seem to find a way to use the Libraries panel in Photoshop or Illustrator on iPad. I apologize if I am incorrect. I just can't find a good resource to point me in the right direction.
I do most of my work on a PC and will likely continue to do so. It's just convenient sometimes to start with an idea on my iPad and finish later on my PC.…

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.

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.

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!

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)14 votes -
Smooth tool like the desktop version
On the desktop version they have a smooth tool where you can target specific lines and shapes. I use this tool constantly and was disappointed to not find it on the app version. It’s the major missing feature keeping me from using the app more often

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

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.
