    Made purchase for full license, it even came out of my bank account and I don’t have my apps. Looked on site for order history it shows nothing..I hope it’s a glitch and get fixed. If not I want my money back.
  • Awesome tool at the right price!

    A good vector-base alternative to Adobe Illustrator… with one important distinction: A Perpertual License with a one-time cost of about $70 [in 2025]. In the world of ongoing subscriptions fees, this rare piece of software is offered at a fair price. File sizes are also super optimized—often only a fraction of the size of an equivalent Adobe file. Highly recommend this software to anyone who doesn’t want to keep paying exorbitant monthly fees for software that is not much better than Affinity Designer. Great job Affinity—Please don’t ever move to a subscription model.
  • Cleaner than Adobe

    I am a fan from ver. 1. But this version has not much impactful features such as tracing, color management, global guidelines, simplify points…etc. to nearly match A. Illustrator. But still prefer to use daily

  • Major Disappointment

    It’s such a stunningly ridiculous oversight by Affinity for what this app is supposed to be, that there are no dimensional tools. Seriously?!? I admit to taking far too much time searching the app, going through the online help resource simply convinced I was overlooking this obvious tool that should be there. The Mac is already fairly limited for decent CAD software and I really like Affinity’s other products so I thought I struck gold when I found out Designer could open and edit DWG files. How can you call an app Designer and support a major CAD file format and not have dimensional tools?
  • Great App For Entrepreneurs & Free Lancers

    I have been doing graphic design for about 20 years and I always used adobe photoshop and illustrator.. I was turned off with the whole no perpetual license thing and you have to buy a subscription so I decided to search for something.. many fails later I cam scroll Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. I love both apps and they are very very similar to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Adobe is still the best but Affinity is a very very close second. I love Affinity Designer and Photo
  • A lot to love but a lot more to go before it replaces the big boy.

    Affinity Designer 2 is almost ready for primetime but a number of baffling decisions and omissions make it hard to recommend as a complete package. The lack of true vector brushes, the functionality of the “pixel persona”, the default UI decisions, so many things make me want to slam my head into the desk. It’s amazing how good it is, but it just isn’t ready to be my 24/7 vector art tool of choice.
