Finally!!

I’ve been so anxious for this to come out, but I also didn’t have high expectations. Most of the time, when computer softwares make an app, so many key features are missing; the apps feel clunky, and it’s always a pain to use and re-learn. I usually end up deleting the app and just sticking with the original. This is NOT the case here!It truly feels like an extension of AI, and working in it is like second nature. All the basics are there, and bouncing back and forth between my iPad and laptop is seamless. I LOVE that I don’t have to worry about saving or exporting, loading to a cloud, then converting my files. I’m literally drawing vector lines with my Apple Pencil from the get-go, already in the format I need. Game changer! No more having to trace and clean up later. Also, manipulating points with my pencil is sooo much easier than clicking with a mouse.Thank you guys for making such an incredible app, right out of the gate. Admittedly, I haven’t been in love with other iPad-version Adobe products, but this is truly amazing!!

Exciting, Promising (buggy) Start

Update: bugs everywhere (removed one star). I’m still super excited about Adobe doing this and what it will (I’m hoping) become—but this product is riddled with bugs.Every product starts with a version 1.0 and this is a worthy first step toward a great product. It is buggy yes and random stuff occurs, but that’s not unexpected with a 1.0. Radial repeat is a game changer and I love that they put it on iPad first. You really need to give people a reason to use this and focus not only on duplicating desktop features (yes, necessary and much is still lacking), but also push the tools further than has ever been possible. This is what Adobe is doing with radial repeat and I love it. Also, the necessary screen real estate efficiency on iPad has potential to push the UI forward which could improve the desktop version also. The little menu that pops up under selections (perhaps stolen from the excellent Concepts) is one such advancement. I hope Adobe adds more keyboard support.

Fairly Reviewed

I’m giving this app 3 stars, but only because it continuously crashes on me. I can’t justify anything lower because I have been so pleased with its use and integration with desktop projects. Prior to the most recent update the stability was great and I thought “FINALLY! This is so amazing!” But now… it crashes within about 5 minutes of use and sometimes it saves and sometimes it doesn’t. This app would easily be 5 stars - EASILY (even with it missing some desktop functionality) but now I am constantly on edge that the work that I have done will be lost because the app force closes so often.Edit: updating to 4 stars - 1 additional for the response that they’ve given (hopefully 5 with the fixes!) looking forward to sending them errors and helping them update the app so there are less bugs! Great customer service!

Lots of missing features

While I’m incredibly excited to finally have this on a tablet, I’m disappointed that what seem like basic and very relevant features do not exist.I use the pen tool and brush a lot on desktop, and do A LOT of line art. Not being able to o make or download custom brushes seems odd to me. Every time I draw a new stroke with the pencil, the line profile resets, and as far as I can tell there is no way to change this. The brush tool is really cool, but not having the option to use the brush tool for simple strokes also drives me a little crazy. I’ve only used it for about 30 hours or so, but it seems like every few hours I find myself thinking “Really? There is no function for this on the tablet? But it’s such a simple thing!” Things like saving swatch libraries, using custom brushes, expanding the appearance of strokes, etc…. I frequently find myself swapping back and forth to my Mac just to quickly do one function that isn’t available on the tablet.Tutorials and answers online are few and far between, and everything just seems to cover basic functionality. Hard to find answers to questions. Some of the functions I’m looking for may indeed be built in, and I just don’t know it because I can’t find any answers when I search online.Overall, happy with it. But really hope to see some simple expansions of features in the near future.

I converted to Illustrator because it came out on the iPad

I’ve been a loyal Photoshop artist for over a decade, and never really liked the way Illustrator worked (vector, paths, shapes, etc.), and only now that it’s come out on the iPad do I feel I can fully have a more intuitive art experience instead of pulling pins and shapes and I really have converted now. I only leave out one star out as it still has many things that it has said to offer, but still does not have (live paint, sketch to vector). I never want to use Illustrator on a desktop, so I hope that they model updates more after something like Procreate instead of simply providing more features from the desktop version. For example, I would like something to make drawing in one or two-point perspective much easier and efficient, but from what I’ve read about the desktop version, no one even uses the perspective grid tools and most usually resort to methods that can’t be done on the iPad.

Annoying for experienced digital artists

The UI drives me insane. I’ve used almost every big illustrator apps on my iPad, but Adobe ones usually take the cake for having the worst UIs. Adobe draw was the first one I ever used, that’s where I started making digital art. Once they made fresco, I switched to that. Fresco was better to me, it had more options of tools and settings- but took up so much space on my iPad. Got rid of it once decided I’d try procreate, and absolutely loved it. I sacrificed the vector programs for procreates raster program. Although my logo and other works suffered from that change, it relieved a lot of stress from all the problems with adobes apps. Years later I need to make somethings vector again so I decided to give illustrator a try. Paid for it, watched their tutorials, and tried to get started on my project. I’m still working on learning everything but I’d rather just cancel my commission lol. I really don’t understand why it’s so confusing. Also crashing is a huge problem when importing projects from my Adobe cloud

Adobe probably won’t listen but...

Honestly, i’ve been waiting years for this to come onto iPad as I’m sure most designers have. It has 1 cool feature that is not available on desktop. But other than that it lacks tons of staple tools a real designer needs. There are no rulers, or ruler guides you can drag down. You can’t export with a bleed and printer marks which is an absolute must for print designers. I pay for the cloud subscription for all apps and this is what Adobe came up with?! I do not want to have to switch between iPad and computer, which is something they are so proud of 🙄. It’s one or the other. Affinity Designer is cheaper and much more capable. I just don’t understand why bleeding people for money is more important then producing a capable program for iPad. Just so disappointed. And just FYI I’m speaking from the POV of a print designer, this is not my hobby but my job. Instead of making the iPad version a stand alone subscription include it solely in your cloud service and make it more capable. Listen to your customers.

A disappointment

I have been using Illustrator on desktop for years, and I love it. I more recently got an iPad for art purposes. Because I like to draw, I got Procreate, but my one frustration about Procreate is that there’s no way to work in vectors. When I learned that my beloved Adobe Illustrator was available on iPad, I got so excited… until I downloaded it and tried using it. The pen tool barely works and I can’t edit my points without major frustration. Many tools are missing, but there are so many lists about this that I won’t go into depth here. If I can’t even use basic tools like the pen without major upset, that’s just sad. I was really looking forward to working in a more hands on way, as I’ve always found mouse and keyboard to be unwieldy, but this crushed my hopes. After the initial frustration wore off, I decided to do some looking, and stumbled across Vectornator, which is exactly what I had hoped Illustrator’s IOS version would be. If anyone is looking for a art and design app that works in vectors, Vectornator is the one. It doesn’t have everything, but it’s pretty darn close, and it can export to an Illustrator file. This is perfect for me because I can do all the drawing and shaping in Vectornator, and finalize in Illustrator on my computer.

Basically Useless, get Affinity Designer

I was excited for full Illustrator on the iPad, but this isn’t it. Every project I have started on the iPad has been switched to the PC pretty quickly because the iPad version lacks the ability to do many basic tasks due to the drastic change to the interface to make it touch friendly. Most of the tools that I use frequently on the PC either don’t exist or work so differently that anything I want to do requires tedious workarounds to get done. Smart guides are even more frustrating than on the desktop and I often find that things are misaligned because they appeared to snap to something, but shifted when removing the pencil from the screen. Palm rejection could use a lot of work. I frequently end up moving around the art board when I’m just trying to steady my hand to place something precisely.The radial repeat feature is nice, but is pretty much unusable with snapping turned on, so good luck doing anything that requires precision. Trying to edit anything in a radial repeat object leads to a lot of clicking different things, trying to figure out what is selected because they show up as one big object in the layers panel with no further break-down.

Drawing challenges

Keeping in mind how new this app is, perhaps things will improve with time. But for now, I find the app annoyingly makes assumptions that you are attempting to create shapes and not lines, auto-joining two ends based on what seems to be some percentage calculation based on the “shape” drawn. This means that even when drawing very large drawing, on say an A0 page size, line ends are automatically joined. Meaning the app assumes that two line ends which can be even over 5cm or greater in distance, auto-join. Given this is an automated extra step, Adobe could and should make it that “undo” simply removes that last automated step. This would still be annoying, but an effective workaround. Of course, there may be some hidden setting or technique to avoid this, but Adobe support is terrible, and this far I’ve not been able to get any answer on this from Adobe nor the online community (however I did receive badges for my community interaction... Adobe, you are not a social network, please just focus on offering exceptional service, which this is not}
