  1. Make Desktop and iPad versions look the same

    It would be a lot easier if both versions of Illustrator (desktop and iPad) looked the same, especially for new learners.

  2. Gradient Mesh

    Once after you add the necessary basic tools I would like to see that included,because it will be a big difference maker with your competitor affinity + it’s the reason why I want to use illustrator on my iPad and not buy a new PC

  6. Allow iPad to work as drawing tablet (screen pairing)

    I bought a iPad Pro recently and would like it if i could use my iPad as a wireless drawing tablet. It would be great if i could work in the same document on my Windows PC and iPad at the same time, maybe through the cloud. I was hoping that Duet Pro would help but sadly it has a lot of latency.

  7. Allow to open multiple projects / files at once as tabs

    Having the ability to go back and forth from 2 or more projects or copy and paste an asset from one open project to another would be extremely helpful when making assets.

  8. Pencil tool option to not automatically close paths

    Would be great to have the flexibility of having a tool that can accurately capture handwriting - automatic path closing prevents this

  11. Allow to import and export EPS files into Illustrator on iPad

    Allow to import .eps files into illustrator as editable vectors, similar like the desktop version. Would make editing ready / bought .eps files on the app possible and get so much done in a shorter amount of time. Please have this feature.

  14. Knife / Slice & Scissor tools

    Available under the “erase” tool just as they are on the desktop. Or make a shortcut key to erase in straight lines, currently there isn’t an easy way to break paths.

  17. Make iPad AI more compatible with external keyboard

    I have noticed when using a Magic Keyboard with AI on the iPad, that the arrow keys do not function in relation to typing blocks of text. How about the ability to move the curser with the arrow keys? It is fiddly using your finger on the touch screen to place the curser accurately.

  20. Save Colour Swatches Permanently

    Every time I open a new document my colour swatches that I had saved previously are gone.
    Let us keep and have a way to save and organise our colour palettes (like procreate) please. Thank you!
