r/FigmaDesign on Reddit: Figma on IpadOS
January 8, 2024 -
I am thinking of getting Ipad pro or ipad air. Does anyone here already try design using figma on Ipad? How is it feels? I found an app called “Figurative” on app store. Really curious about it. Can Ipad become my main design tool?
Please share your thoughts and experiences, thank you very much. Have a great day fellas!

No, it’s a dramatically inferior experience to even just a laptop. I’m holding out hope for updates someday but for now there’s no effective toolset for Figma on iPad.

Laptop is still the minimum for me. Tablet solutions gain nothing and only add inconvenience, again for me.

You can edit things on Adobe’s mobile apps, so I don’t quite understand the hesitation to include editing capabilities here. Of course, the editing capabilities are more limited on mobile apps, but they are possible. Plus it’d be nice to be able to draw with the touchscreen.

AFAIK, Figma app, including iPad (which is not desktop app) is just a mirror app with some ability to view documents and play prototypes. The reason you can edit files in browser is that you running desktop-sized website.

You cannot create or modify Figma files using the iPad app. It's just for viewing, adding/replying to comments, and playing prototypes. If you need to create a new file, you'll need to use the browser or desktop app.

I have been a UX designer for 3 years and I have to always switch between my mac and ipad. I tried using fidurative but it is very buggy. I don't understand the issue that figma has here. People have been asking for it for years and would be a lovely feature for UX designers.

Only a limited amount of people have been asking for it, because in a professional setting there is no place for designing on an ipad.
