iPad Adobe Express ~ Missing Nudge Tool

[timh82449064]

Hi,  I'm having trouble finding the "nudge tool" on the new AE iPad version.   Any advice on where it's located would be appreciated.

Hi 

@timh82449064

,

Thanks for reaching out! To move objects, you can select them, hold on to them, and move them on the canvas. Let us know if this is what you were looking for. If not, can you please elaborate more on the information you're looking for?

Regards,

Tarun

Thanks Tarun, I know how to move objects but need “fine control” to place them exactly where I want.  That’s why I always used the “nudge tool” that used to be available on the iPad version.  Attached is a screen shot of the iPhone version showing the tool (it’s within the “transform” group of tools).  Can you tell me where to find this on the new iPad AE version, or if it’s been deleted, can it be restored?

Hi Tarun, will you be responding to my post above?  

Thank you

Did we ever find out where the nudge button is? Bec I use it and am missing it.

is it possible for you to answer a question? iOS iPad app does not have a keyboard. We use a pencil tool or our fingers. We know how to move things. 101 information. Where is the control to nudge something. Simple question simple answer if you don't have an answer say as much. It's very clear to me why we just can't get an answer. Where is the nudge button??

Hi @ChiShan,

Welcome to the community! I'd like to inform you that we’ve investigated and are aware that Nudge is not yet available on the new version of Adobe Express on iPads.

We are working to find a solution to bring it back as soon as we can, as we know this is a valuable feature for precision editing. Thank you for your patience and we will keep you posted with an update when we have one!

Hi @TllGrrl,

Thanks for following up — we understand your frustration. The Nudge tool is a popular feature, and we’re sorry it’s still missing from the iPad version.

While we don’t have a confirmed timeline to share just yet, the team is aware of the request and we’re actively tracking feedback like yours to help prioritize future updates.

Please keep the app updated, and thank you for your patience and for sticking with us. Let us know if there’s anything else we can support you with in the meantime!

This is incredibly frustrating. What kind of update REMOVES features? I wish I had known prior to updating. Please, please, please add the nudge feature soon. 

I learned this progrm and stuck with it through many frustrations because it was initially easier go figure out than competitors like Canva. I pay for a Premium subscription, but if developers don't show more sense, I will move on. 

Consistency is level one of app development.

Side note: it is also frustrating to lose so much "real estate" due to the menus now being on the left in landscape view. This is another detraction and makes the new version feel cluttered. Just...why??? At LEAST make it possible to minimize it.

Apologies for typos. *program *to figure out

Hi @AJ Hostet,

I completely understand how frustrating these changes can be. While the nudge tool isn’t available right now, a workaround is to use the arrow keys on your keyboard (if you’re using a connected keyboard) to move objects in small increments.

Also, for the menu space issue in landscape mode, you might try switching temporarily to portrait orientation where the interface feels less crowded.

If you want, I’m here to help you find other tips or shortcuts to make your workflow smoother while we wait for these features to return. Just let me know!

Unfortunately, I use the app on my iPad in horizontal form with no keyboard. As others have shared, the issue is not that I am unaware of cumbersome workarounds, but rather, that I would like to receive the same level of services I originally started to pay for and expected to continue to receive.

I’ll just use Canva if I must use my laptop. Needing a keyboard defeats the whole “Express” angle.

1) Who is the genius that decided Nudge wasn't needed on the iPad!?!? Nudge is an EDITING tool that allows for fine tuning placement of items. 

2) Until you reinstall the Nudge feature foe iPad users, this app is broken.
