I couldn't agree more. I gave up my laptop and transferred over to iPad because I was under the impression Photoshop for IPad was the same as the laptop version. Well by the time I realized it wasn't... I couldn't go switch it out. So now I'm searching for new apps that will be able to take its place. I've been using Photoshop since CS5 and now I have to learn a completely new system.

We are 29th of March 2023. I just tried Photoshop iPad version again. IT SHOULD be called Photoshop VeryLite, to be gentle and not to call it its real name. 

Guidelines, rulers, smart rulers, snapping… and so much more is just not there since years.

 

We are in 2023, almost April, soon mid 2023. At this time, for example, Affinity Photo for iPad has it all pro features. Why should we bother with Photoshop and WAIT YEARS for basic, not talking pro features? Affinity photo costs 23,99 one time payment, while Photoshop is 10,99 monthly. Comparing both, I cannot understand why Adobe left their iPad app versions so far behind others.

 

So Adobe, what's your idea for a professional iPad app? Again, Why is Photoshop so far behind your competitors like Affinity? Photoshop iPad seams to be kind of a joke, it's so poorly equipped with feature from Photoshop desktop. And it looks like you, Adobe, make this purposefully. Why?

 

On my side, I do not think it is worth to have Photoshop (April 2023) even it was free of any charge. It is so basic that it may serve for primary school kids, but professionals should avoid it a find real serious proposition elsewhere.

Lisa,

 

The Upvote button is at the top of the page. It will change from "Upvote" to "Voted" after you vote.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT (Nov 2023): the Upvote button is now on the left instead of right and now turns blue instead of saying "voted" after you vote.

Where the [cursing removed] do you add the vote? Honestly IPad Photo Shop [cursing removed] . There is so much missing that I have to keep moving from one app to the other to get a project done. What a rip off! There's not even something as basic as a ruler for [cursing removed] sake!

Affinity Photo is your best alternative. I'm befuddled why Adobe has abandoned Photoshop for iPad. For whatever reason, Adobe has chosen not to invest in iPad photoshop. In the last nine months, Adobe has delivered 4.1 -Select multiple layers. 4.2 - Select multiple layers and delete. 4.3 - Korean text fix. My post is not critical but factual. If your workflow requires any of "Coming to Photoshop" features then you should consider alternatives. Based on current course and speed it will take 4+ years minimum to deliver "Coming to Photoshop". If Adobe or Fan Boys disagree then reply.

Does anyone know of any other apps for IPad where we can use grids for better precision? This has to be a joke that Adobe doesn't have it!

It's a scam to force us to pay more money for the other adobe apps that offer grids and guides. Such a shame. I've always been so happy with PS. I feel I've come to the end of the road with this. I will be searching for a more useful photo editing and design tool for IOS. I am no longer a satisfied customer.

In Photoshop for iPad, click on "View" in "New and upcoming features"..

 

 

...then click "What's coming" to see what is coming to Photoshop for iPad.

 

Thank you, Team Adobe!
