I have used Vectornator for a couple of months now, all on iPad. I have the following feedback from my initial experience. Overall, I am having a good experience. However, I find that there are some impediments, which, if removed, could speed up my workflow. Below is my feedback.
- GUI
The feature to adjust the node type and the feature to delete/add a note are miles apart. You have to scroll up/down a lot to do both. In my view, they should be be together in one section since they are logically similar. More often than not, I use both.
Moreover, I found that in the process of unwanted scrolling up and down, I sometimes end up accidentally changing the blur or the width.

Objects with a layer
Vectornator allows copying a layer. However, copying a particular object within a layer is not available. This should be available. Currently, I use a workaround. I create the copy of a layer by duplicating it. Then I delete the unwanted objects from the duplicated layer and just keep the ones I want. However, if duplicating an object is available, then it will save time. -
Presettings before creating an object
Let’s say I wanted a certain amount of blur in a new object I am going to create. I am unable to do that proactively. The feature to set the blur is greyed out until I have created an object. In other words, I can set the blur retrospectively not proactively. -
Gradient is irreversible
This is probably a bug. If I change a solid color to gradient, and then want to reverse it (undo), I find that I cannot. Pressing undo icon does not work for gradient. So I end up with an unwanted gradient for an object color fill. I find that I have to start all over again.
Hope this feedback is of value.
Thanks !
