P: Polygonal lasso for iPad/mobile

Please add a polygonal lasso tool for PS on iPad. Or implement a lasso tool as Adobe Fresco has. Right now it is pretty challenging to make straight selections with available tools. So I find myself using Fresco instead of Photoshop whenever I can.

        Where is the Polygonal lasso selection tool on the ipad version, as I need to make a straight line selection?

          It's not there. The only selection tools are these:

          I bought my iPad Pro to use photoshop and illustrator. All I use in photoshop is the polygon lasso tool and it is missing on the iPad. Please add this soon. My iPad is a paperweight until then.

            I have been testing out the iPad version of Photoshop and getting framiliar it's interface and commands but I can't seem to find the polygonal lasso tool. Surely they didn't leave out such a simple and constantly used tool. What am I missing?

              I don't have it in front of me but if I remember correctly it should be on the left bar (with all the tools) as one of the drop-down options. Hold down the "Marquee" tool and a few options should appear. I believe it was Rectangle, lasso, and ellipse. I can take a screenshot tomorrow morning if you don't find it by then.
