an iPad version would be very usefull and actually a reason to buy publisher

Having Publisher for iPad would be a big step forward using my iPad as a full laptop replacement. 
Please consider it :-)
If it helps, I would order it now !!!

I also need Publisher for iOS. Would buy upon availability! 
I also am trying to remove my need for a full-size laptop in favor of my iPad. 

I think the delay or the never never of  getting it on the iPad has much to do with the ongoing bug squashing on the desktop versions. I never saw or heard fully committed existence of Publisher on the iPad. the language was vague with an emphasis instead on file compatibility across platforms and common to all three apps.
But, I do agree that seeing the trio on at least the Pro iPads first would have done a great deal of positive marketing for Serif.
The original announcements did seem to imply iPad. In other forums and even on other social media, people were chomping at the bit to leave Adobe. With changes that involve battling an incumbent, you know what you can't buy back: timing, timing, timing.

There is no "delay" -- when Publisher cane out in the summer, Serif announced that the iPad version is planned for next year. As we don't have next year yet, everything is as scheduled.

I would definitely give you my Apple Card number today if you promise to produce an iPad Pro version of Affinity Publisher. I’m serious.

Yes, publisher for ipad pro. I will love it.. I do not have Windows, and my 4 year old mac will not be renewed (last use: April). Yes, I write books, with lots of Affinity Designer illustrations, and the iPad has proven a really strong tool for that.
It is already bad enough that Designer 1.7.3 is not available on iPad. The iPad ought to be the primary platform. Not "mobile first", but "tablet first".
The grapes are sour :-)   

I also need Publisher so bad on the iPad Pro, because I use my iPad all the time and I miss the ability to make layouts for flyers et cetera... I would also instantly buy it!

Publisher on the iPad Pro would be great it’s the only thing that keeps me using a laptop

I also would be an “instant purchase” for Affinity Publisher for the IOS iPad Pro.
