HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (927 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Crashes and freezes43%

163 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I thought that the constant crashes were because I didn't have enough memory or that my iPad was too old.
★★★★★ I've experienced freezes during basic editing, Type on Path operations, Pathfinder/Combine Shapes work, and even while renaming or saving a document.
★★★★★ This app crashes 10 billion times before you can even start a project.
Bugs, things not working24%

92 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Check out the last year of reviews: users have complained about a program they want to like, but the bugs have killed the usability of Illustrator.
★★★★★ Copying the image from the new document into the existing one worked, which suggests a document-state or application bug rather than a file-format problem.
★★★★★ It's glitchy, crashing constantly.
Price and subscription19%

72 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Unsurprisingly they are able to charge me but not able to get the app to open.
★★★★★ I am resentful of the money I pay for this subscription.
★★★★★ Ended up deleting and once they charge you there was no return for the monthly subscription
Worse after an update7%

28 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ever since I updated, I am unable to access my files or sync my file to my creative cloud
★★★★★ I tried to reinstall the app, updated it but no matter what I do, it crushes after a minute of using it without saving any progress.
★★★★★ Waiting for an update for almost a year now.
Missing features7%

27 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Just “can't export file” or “can't import image”.
★★★★★ I can't edit, copy, delete, or hide this shape, it simply exists on the canvas.
★★★★★ The plus button to add fonts is missing even though it is in a documented process.
Login and account problems7%

26 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ tried to sign up so i could do the frutiger stuff.
★★★★★ I tried to cancel my adobe subscription years ago but they made it impossible and I had to eventually cancel a bank card and close a bank account.
★★★★★ After download they will ask you to sign up and after that you will be forced to pay.
Lost data, sync, backup6%

24 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Can't find anything. They keep removing important things like swatches and making it unbelievably complicated to use. The UI design is awful. You have to drill down to find the tools you use frequently, do complicated…
★★★★★ I've lost so much progress when it suddenly closes ver and over again.
★★★★★ I even deleted apps thinking it's the amount of space I need to run the app and still will not allow it to run.
Slow, laggy, battery6%

21 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I'm constantly running into bugs that slow productivity to a crawl and sometimes prevent any work altogether.
★★★★★ Also this app drains the battery of every device incredibly fast, and will even drain the battery when left running with the ipad locked.
★★★★★ This app glitches every 5 minutes and lags out.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • You should add more features because the processing power of iPad is extremely high. 3★, Aug 13, 2026
  • I wish I didn't have to rely on Illustrator so much for work. 1★, May 19, 2026
  • (Plus, I don't have a phone.) I'd love to use Illustrator to create my own designs, but it would be great if I didn't have to pay a subscription to use even the simplest features in the app. 4★, Dec 23, 2025
  • It's only when I add a new layer and make the shape is when I am able to see it. 5★, Sep 17, 2025
  • I like that they made a iPad app prioritizing Apple Pencil and touch functionality, but I wish they would give the option to switch between the classic interface and the iPad specific interface, for those of us that… 3★, Sep 16, 2025
  • I used coral draw for my print and graphic design business needs and now I am switching to this amazing raster based software to support my work techniques. 5★, Jun 26, 2025
  • I am so disappointed to learn that you need a separate subscription for mobile apps than you do desktop apps. 2★, Jun 17, 2025
  • It's been fun exploring and seeing what's possible, although I do wish it were a bit more beginner-friendly. 4★, Apr 12, 2025

★★★★★ Knowing it so well it was easy to learn other programs in Adobe.
★★★★★ Some of this is no doubt necessary, but a lot of it seems like it would be fairly easy to implement.

Great app, but completely freezes on iPad Pro M5 (Touch Shortcut bug)

I really love using Illustrator on my iPad, but I am having a critical issue on my new iPad Pro M5. Every time I use the Selection tool in combination with the Touch Shortcut circle (the floating wheel), the entire app freezes completely. I have to restart my iPad to make it work again. For now, I have to avoid using the shortcut wheel entirely to prevent crashes. Please fix this bug for the M5 chip architecture as soon as possible! Apart from this, it is an amazing app.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
Believe the reviews

Check out the last year of reviews: users have complained about a program they want to like, but the bugs have killed the usability of Illustrator. Worse yet, Adobe seems to have abandoned updating or even fixing Illustrator

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026
Crashes on iPad

I thought that the constant crashes were because I didn’t have enough memory or that my iPad was too old. Got a brand new one and put very little on it. It still barely works and crashes too often. Not great for a graphic designer.

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026
Disappointed

Would like to see more features available that are already available on desktop

★★★★★Oct 8, 2026
Could be useful but...

Illustrator for iPad has serious stability and responsiveness issues. I’m using a current iPad Pro with plenty of available performance, and the app frequently becomes unresponsive or force-closes while working on relatively simple vector artwork. I’ve experienced freezes during basic editing, Type on Path operations, Pathfinder/Combine Shapes work, and even while renaming or saving a document. In one case, an existing document repeatedly returned “Can’t Place File” for both JPEG and PNG images, while the exact same images placed normally in a new Illustrator document. Copying the image from the new document into the existing one worked, which suggests a document-state or application bug rather than a file-format problem. The app is extremely useful when it works, especially with Apple Pencil, but the instability makes it difficult to trust for professional production work. Constantly saving, duplicating files, reopening the app, and creating workarounds to avoid crashes significantly disrupts the workflow. Illustrator for iPad could be an excellent professional design tool if Adobe focused heavily on stability, document reliability, and responsiveness.

★★★★★Sep 30, 2026
Crashes so often, can’t even work properly

Just as the title says. This app crashes 10 billion times before you can even start a project.
