  1. Please continue adding mouse/keyboard commands from the desktop version

    I’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.

  3. Import AI files directly from desktop version to IpadOS version

    I 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.

  4. We need good export options

    Not 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.

  10. smaller brush size

    Brush size has a limitation 1 point. It would be nice if it could get smaller into decimals.

  12. Stroke opacity on shapes

    Would 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!

  13. Pan and Rotate with trackpad

    Need Zoom, Plus Pan & Rotate with trackpad and Magic Keyboard like how it works on Mac/PC. This would make things even more awesome. It would be even better if you guys do a custom cursor icon like on the desktop as well or like how Vectornator does it with the tool icon as the cursor when using the trackpad and keyboard.

  16. Isolation page should have same editing capabilities as the desktop I.e. adding text or shapes

    There is too much destruction in Isolation mode and it should give the variable with using other tools while in this mode without reverting back to regular mode.

  19. Convert repeated patterns into paths

    I want to take a repeated pattern and use the shape builder on the result. There does not seem to be a way to finalise a pattern so that it can be converted to curves.

    As per the comment (quoted):

    Select your pattern. In the task bar (on the right), tap object (square with dots in the corner and shapes inside of it) and choose Expand. This will create a grouped object inside a clipping path. The pattern can no longer be edited with the repeat task. If you want to delete the clipping path, double tap it and delete (you might want to change to Outline view to see the clipping path easier). Ungroup the objects or just double tap the object you want to edit.
