This is such an important feature. Even if it doesn't have a snapping feature, I need the grids and guides! I'm so disappointed in Adobe for neglecting such an important, basic artist's tool. Going back and forth between the desktop and iPad programs whenever I need the grid is extremely inconvenient.

There isn't a way to use grids or rulers yet. You'd think for such a successful company that they'd hear the pleas from the people in this thread, not to mention care at all about the money their losing from dissatisfied customers, and add such a simple function to their tablet app. This is an ongoing, two year old thread and still nothing? Really? The function exists on the PC app, so they know how to code it and add it to the software. They're just refusing not to at this point. Only under consideration after years of issues? Disgusting.

Hello I am new to photoshop.

can anyone please tell me where to access the ruler tool. I see that it's supposed to be with the eye dropper but I just can not figure out how to get to it. I'm on an iPad not computer. Thanks!

How do I get guide lines/rulers to show up on my iPad in PS?

I guess everyone has been posting here for over 2 years asking for grids, guides and rulers. Such an important function for precise work. I would rather work on my iPad but now I cannot! Please make this happen already!!! Thanks.

I cant even believe this has to be discussed.

grids and rulers should have been put in this version to begin with.

So, another unsolved issue and no movement on adding guides, it’s like using paint in windows 95. Guides please...and filters etc...

SO this is still not added. Does anyone really expect this app version to be useable without guides? It’s like using paint on windows 95.

Guides please. Oh, and filters etc...

I totally agree. Was very excited downloading Photoshop to my iPad when I discovered there are no grids or guide lines. To me it's useless. The type of photography I do the first thing I do is use a grid  or guide line to align the image.
