    Please integrate the ability to use leaders. This is the only tool I'm missing!
  • Can’t do ePub

    It’s an absolutely huge miss that this nice piece of software can’t export to ePub. It’s audacious to name an app “Publisher” when it can’t create the most basic and universal ebook format. I was about to put down money for this after my short trial. Glad I figured this out before wasting my money and (more) time.
  • Great Software !

    I have been in the printing trade since 1965 and used all the publishing software both desktop and newspaper propriety since then. I've been using all three Affinity Applications since they came out. I'm 78 and use all three plications in my small small hobby/business and love each one. To be able to use all three with the same UI is breathtaking. Keep up the good work and I continually boast Affinity products to all my contacts. Thanks Affinity for Great Software at afforable prices! Congratulations!

  • RTL would be nice

    RTL support for other languages would be the cat’s meow for this app. Till then, I will suffer for the sake of the rest of the app, which is wonderful.
  • Not super intuitive

    By ApexSelf
    Some things are just not super intuitive and menus vanish for no reason. It coudl be user error but things just don't always make sense. For example I have a circle shape which is white but if I increase the stroke that is black but i don't know why?? Thanks.
  • Disappointing page reflow behavior

    By ancient_buho
    I'd expect a publishing app to re-layout pages correctly when pages are inserted. For example, because books have a gutter, pages to the left side of the gutter have a wider right margin, and pages to the right have a wider left margin. In Publisher, try to switch a page from left to the right side, and see chaos ensue in the content: some elements stay on the same place, others try to be repositioned to consider the margin. If I have 100 pages and decide to change the first one: tough luck, remake your book.
  • I like Affinity

    I am ported over from IBM about ten years ago now. Back then I really liked Corel Draw, Well it is on the Mac now. I would buy it on the Mac but it is too expencive. Many later but for now Affinity suites my needs and budget.
  • Handy and Useful

    I cannot express how many ways I use Affinity Publisher 2. I was hooked from the day I first tried the Beta version, long ago. I've set up many templates that make my life easier. It's my go-to app for creating greeting cards, the hand-outs for a local annual art show, for creating booklets of information I need to keep organized, and so many more things. I would be lost without it.
