  • Game Changer!

    I have officially switched 100% to Affinity products and ditched Creative Cloud Adobe products. I was intimidated to use this software at first as I’ve been using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc. for so many years. I am an artist and prefer to work on my tablet. With Affinity, you get the same functionality on your tablet as you do on your desktop. I can’t believe I was too intimidated to cut the cord with Adobe. I wish I did this long ago. Thank you Affinity for your amazing product that’s going to help my small business thrive. I can streamline my process and not starve to death while doing so. If anyone out there is wondering if they should rip the bandaid off and cut ties with Adobe, do it (insert Ben stiller “do it” meme here). Adobe is raising prices again, crashing our computers, and giving garbage support. When I first purchased Affinity, I had a quick question for customer service and was answered very quickly and politely :) To the developer(s): you rock. Thank you!
  • Stopped working, must buy AGAIN?!

    I DO NOT TRUST AFFINITY. I bought V1 of this app, and now it doesn’t work. This was all in an effort to force me (and you) to buy V2. How many times will we have to re-purchase this app? Updates are fine, but having a forced subscription after a couple years of use is an unwelcome surprise. I PAID FOR THIS APP, my iPad Pro hasn’t changed, only this app. I might as well get photoshop and have some real power. At least I know what the cost will be without having surprise software theft from Affinity. 👎

    It was a little confusing at first but I’m definitely getting the hang of it!!! Watch the tutorials and you will have no problems!!! And it’s only a one time payment of $20 for my iPad no reoccurring charges!!!

    I shoot JPEG + RAW and the RAW file from it is just comes out all black when imported. Hope this is updated soon. Otherwise I’m really happy with the app.

    does not have full functionality because the IPad version of publisher does not have it either. Very disappointing. No way to just buy the desktop version if you already bought the iPad version and had expectations of a fully functionality app. It’s not here…I did buy the three licenses for the apps to have functionality between the apps but I have not used the photo one and probably won’t as I dont personally have a need for it. Just came as a package in the ipad versions that is why I own it.
  • I’ve used Affinity apps for over 6 years, and I can confidently say: they’re game-changers for creat

    Most people don’t realize Affinity evolved from Serif’s original “Plus” series, which launched back in the ’80s—tailored specifically for entrepreneurs, crafters, and creatives. They even had a video editor (MoviePlus) before it was discontinued. With the rebrand into the Affinity suite, Serif leveled up everything—modern, intuitive tools that are powerful without the price tag. The Affinity apps (Photo, Designer, Publisher) are super easy to learn. Whether you’re on iPad or Mac, there’s no steep learning curve. The built-in “Learn” section literally walks you through the tools step by step—perfect for beginners and pros alike. As a boutique owner and digital creative, I’ve used Affinity to shoot, edit, and brand my product photos, design flyers, build out Shopify banners, and more. It’s become the core of my entire workflow. I honestly hope they bring back their video editing app in the future, because it’s the one thing missing from an otherwise flawless creative suite. If you’re a small business owner, crafter, or content creator looking to break free from overpriced subscriptions—Affinity is the one.
  • Worthless

    I have tried for WEEKS to use this program, and I have watched tutorials for hours, but I cannot get this program to work. It has me on an opening page that doesn’t have the panels shown in the training videos. I’ve hit every button on the screen and can’t change the layout. Totally worthless and a waste of money.
  • Wow beautiful

    Free trial doesn’t require payment information and wow only one time purchase… loaded with features and easy to learn, I don’t know why other reviews say that this app is hard to learn but when you spend some time everything becomes like clockwork

    Finally smth that has a SINGLE PAY and it’s a really good app!! I’ve seen amazing work in this this is what you would get on pc for someone who make roblox thumbnails and gfxs this app would be so useful. I use photopea but it not really meant for tablet and laggy but this app is like a good program for drawing making thumbnails ect…and I don’t think it’s laggy and it made for tablet yay!!<3
