Dear Adobe Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to express my appreciation for the continuous innovation and value Adobe brings to creative professionals worldwide. With Apple’s recent major update to iPadOS, I see a great opportunity for Adobe to enhance Illustrator for iPad.

At the moment, the iPad version feels very limited compared to its desktop counterpart. I kindly request that Adobe consider releasing a significant update to improve the overall capabilities and performance of Illustrator for iPad, taking full advantage of the new features and potential that iPadOS now offers.

Such improvements would greatly benefit professionals like myself who rely on Adobe tools daily and would help maintain Illustrator’s position as the industry standard across all platforms.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing future updates that will elevate the iPad experience.

Kind regards,

Adrian G.

Hello. I just started using illustrator on iPad and unfortunately am so disappointed.
 

Smoothing tool especially  is so limited!

 

I thought it would be as easy as using the pen on a Wacom tablet to smooth sections of a curve for example.

Instead I can only choose to either to smooth the entire vector image which is oversimplifying the image, or I can adjust one single anchor point.

Not intuitive. I thought being able to draw right onto the screen of my iPad with my Apple Pencil would make things easier.

But this labor intensive process is not workable for me. Please let me
