I use Illustrator for iPad for all my work, but I have noticed that you are not releases new features, there are some missing features I and other artists have been waiting for over 3 years. I don't understand you seem to update Adobe Fresco regularly and now you have made it free for everyone which is great. But why is illustrator for iPad not getting any updates at all for a paid app. It is very frustrating.

Agree here too. Bought an ipad Pro m4 and subscribed to CC specifically to use Illustrator on it for work. Illustrator is in dire need up an update.

I completely agree. I'm really frustrated that there have been no feature updates, especially for gradients. I draw in illustrator on my iPad for my art and work and the fact that I can't use the new gradient features that exist on the desktop is extremely frustrating. Adobe, please update this application with new features!!!

Hard agree. Here it is halfway into 2025 and we still haven't seen any significant updates. I use the desktop version, but I just don't have the patience to use the desktop every time I want to work on things. I was so frustrated that I nixed my adobe subscription and went back to Affinity.

Agree with you fully! Although the splash screen shows some  (very limited) updates in the works it looks as though there have not been any updates since 2022! I bought an iPad Pro M4 specifically for working with illustrator and had high hopes that Adobe would improve on it's limitations but don't seem to care about the iPad community.

Frustrating indeed.
