Is there a better way to use the move tool?

[Markus Allen]

Whenever I use the move tool (with my finger or Apple Pencil), I accidentally stretch my images.

Is there a better way to select an image and move it without stretching it?

Hi Markus Allen,
Currently only zooming in until you can place the cursor inside the bounding box of the object you want to move.

I hope an update makes this easier.

Honestly, it is a bit frustrating. I wind up using the "Transform Studio" to make a simple move.

To stretch or rotate, I should have my finger (or pencil) on or near the handles. Everywhere else on the screen should help me move my graphic - thus the apt name "move tool".

With that said, still lovin' Affinity Designer on my iPad!
