  • Had affinity design one for one year and now all brushes are bugged out and are unusable.

    The app even reinstalled does not fix the issue. I don’t have the trust of the developer to fix the issue or to have the same issue in the future.

    So far every vector iPad app has been a nightmare to do basic functions. None of them can do warped text. So far this has been the best of them all. I am familiarizing myself using gestures since I come from a PC background using Adobe. Tablets do take significantly longer to do things than PC so it will take some getting used to.

    I tried over 3 days to follow a YouTube video about exporting and selecting objects but wasn’t able to select objects. Not able to create gradients not even in their own tutorial document. Not able to create shapes either. Unfortunately this was an absolute waste of time of my time. I had also deleted and redownloaded the app and checked forums for answers but again nothing worked.
  • Request for Support of Right-to-Left Languages (Arabic and Persian)

    Dear Affinity Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am a proud user of Affinity Designer on iPad and truly appreciate the powerful tools and intuitive interface you provide. However, I have noticed that the software does not currently support right-to-left languages, such as Arabic and Persian. This makes it difficult for many users, including myself, to incorporate these languages into our designs effectively. As Arabic and Persian are widely used languages with millions of speakers worldwide, adding support for proper text direction and character joining would be a significant improvement and greatly appreciated by the community. Thank you for your hard work, and I hope this feature can be considered in a future update.

    I bought Affinity Designer 1 for $10 in 2020 and used it since then for work and personal projects. I reset my device recently and noticed that the app was removed from my library and wasn’t on the App Store anymore. Turns out they put a new wrapper on the software and want to charge subscription fees. Well, many including myself abhor this new selfish business model that so many companies are pursuing. I paid for a service and product and now I don’t have access to it. That’s very disappointing.
  • Love it

    I came from over 20 years with Adobe. I wish I switched sooner. This app on my iPad is way better!
  • Terrible but new

    I have zero idea what I’m doing. There are enough videos to hemorrhage through what I need. I’ll eventually get better. However, the program is far beyond what I needed!
  • Great iPad Vector Graphics App
