Needs to be more compatible with illustrator

Love the app but it needs to be more compatible with illustrator. I need clean line work to be translated over.

Horrible app.

This app is beyond over priced and sells your data to third parties. Absolutely NOT worth it

This seems to be the only way I can contact Adobe with a problem!

My issue is with the drawing/circle aide. It has, for some reason, gone askew and I cannot reset it. I have updated both the app and the iPad, even deleted the app and reloaded it. I checked the Adobe community: other members have experienced this, no one has a fix short of a magical reset when the app is updated, there are MANY requests for Adobe to fix this problem!
When I tried to report the problem, I have received nothing but a runaround. The app tells me I am not logged in so therefore cannot report a problem but all other avenues tell me I AM logged in. The main website rotates me between the main Adobe Help Centre, the Support link, and the “Contact Us: Real Help from Real People” link (are you kidding me right now?!)
I have lost WEEKS of work because I can no longer use an essential tool and Adobe does not have a simple contact solution for issues. This is my LAST attempt at getting help. I am at the point of having to start again with a brand new app or go old school with paper and pencil but I don’t even know if they can contact me through reviews, there may not be enough of my info here.
