Adobe Illustrator on iPad will allow you to easily zoom in and zoom out through pinch actions and select objects by tapping them, making it easy for you to edit your designs. In addition to that, the design app supports more than 18,000 fonts and you can also upload your own and customize them for your projects.

You can download the app from here for a monthly fee of $9.99. You’ll get the app for free if you already subscribe to Adobe’s Creative Cloud plan.
