“I did a poster for music venue in 6 hours on a bumpy plane ride without a light table, pens, scanner or live trace. Just emailed myself the finished pdf, opened it in Illustrator and added type and logos. I love this app!”

Buy a layer???
So here's the deal. I've had this for a while now and use it pretty regularly. Today I go to load a picture from my picture album and erase portions of it, JUST erase, and it tells me that the picture OS it's own layer and if I want to make a mod to it I need to buy a layer. BUY A LAYER????? When did this happen?
I don't want to make changes on another layer. I want to change the photo layer.
You take that feature out and you go to FIVE stars. Until then, blow it out your A55!
Come on Adobe, do this right.
Seriously needs help as other sucky vector apps are trouncing it. Here's the laundry list that will make this app a tool and not a toy:
1. The ability to select and adjust previously drawn lines using HANDLES. HANDLES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
2. Variable width brushes and the ability to apply said brushes to existing paths. And why not add some of your styled ink brushes as in Illustrator? Then you can rename your app Adobe Illustrator Express! (just don't make me pay for a whole new app, these layers were pricey enough.)
3. Flood fill, as many have noted. Seriously overdue.
4. Shapes: box, rounded box, circle, rounded circle (ha ha, just checking that you're reading this) custom, etc.
5. Ability to type in line widths, color values, etc.
6. GRIDS & GUIDES!
Alrighty, get BUSY!
I paid for layers once, not doing it again.
I purchased layers when they were 4.99 on my iPad. I expected that purchase to transfer to my iPhone. It didn't. I'm not giving them another dollar to purchase something I already paid for.
Also, the fact that it went from free to 9.99 with no new features is depressing. I tried recommending this app to me friends because i use it and it was free, but I can't justify a recommendation for an app that's free app quality for 9.99. And Adobe wonders why their software is so widely pirated.
Now that adobe is moving to a subscription based model for their desktop software, it's time for options and change. I am so sick of Adobe.
