    I recently purchased an Affinity V2 Universal License and I was happily surprised to find that my license also includes support for the iPad apps. My iPad is a travel device for me: I use a Mac for all the heavy stuff but when I need them, the iPad apps have every feature from the desktop app (save for the AI powered stuff, but that’s processor dependent) and I find that I actually gravitate more to using the iPad apps more. Apple Pencil support is excellent, and the command controller provides access to all the modifier keys when my keyboard isn’t attached. The fact that the license for this is a one time purchase and not a monthly subscription is highly appealing, and was actually what made the decision to go Affinity and not Adobe. Most everything I’ve said here also applies to Photo and Publisher - those apps were held to the same standard for quality, functionality, and overall experience compared to Designer. This is easily the best design software out there for any platform, and it’s miles ahead of any other option on the iPad App Store. I would highly recommend it.

    I’ve been using Designer for over 6 years to build my brand from the ground up—logos, product labels, digital flyers, Shopify banners, clothing designs—you name it, I’ve done it with this app. What makes it different? It’s not bloated like other software. It’s fast, clean, and actually fun to use. And whether you’re on iPad or Mac, it feels seamless—no weird UI changes or confusing switches. The tools are easy to learn, especially with the built-in tutorials that teach you how to master every feature. What I really love is that Affinity Designer puts professional-grade tools into the hands of people who actually need them—without the insane price tag. No monthly fees, no watered-down versions. Just pure creative freedom. If you’re a boutique owner, content creator, or just want to bring your design ideas to life without selling a kidney for software—Affinity Designer is it. Period.

    Many times I have to close the program because it fails to recognize the tool I’m using. There is no pixel to vector conversion. Trying to get nodes to close - after two full days of using this app, they will only half the time and the vector flood tool is useless. I paid for this stupid program, I hope they enjoy my money because I’m deleting it right after writing this. This isn’t a program for a professional or amateur

    My mans put me on—and I ain’t looked back since. Perfect for clean logos, shirt designs, and detailed art. Smooth layout, no lag, and you can flip from vector to pixel easy. No monthly fee, just straight heat. If you got skills, this app gon’ level you up.

    you could adjust the rope stabilizer in-the first ver? or is it another App? I agree with the other persons review "HARD TO FIGURE WHAT BUTTON IS TO DO WHAT" and what button does what Im trying to do! So I need to Get away from this -I should have 2 days left for Trial- But cant see where it is! Apple Refuses to allow things easy- AND ITS LIKE WHEN YOUR GROCERY STORE REARRANGES AGAIN SO TAKES LONGET TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING- I NEVER ASKED OR OKED iCloud and I guess millions of others feel the same-
