Leave a Review Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad
The best iPad App
I bought this because Adobe’s embrace of the iPad is lacking to say the least. It takes a little getting used to, but this app—along with Designer and Photo—are just as good and in many cases better, than Adobe’s desktop apps.sweeetjd
CLUNKY TEXT
Not enough intuitive design. Impossible to find the fill feature for text boxes and shapes. Text is clunky, very poor support for Bluetooth keyboard, constantly stops working in app (but works elsewhere). Overall not enough thought on the simple stuff. Very disappointed.FTFC

I have been a big fan of Affinity for quite some time. I also went through a stretch using an iPad as my only portable productivity device, using it as my main laptop. This was only possible due apps top tier apps like LumaFusion and the Affinity Suite, etc. Apps like Affinity Publisher are what make the iPad what it is! I believe every serious creative professional with an iPad should have this app downloaded!Show lessJust a random IOS Reviewer
Precision is impossible; many bugs
Forced rounding still prevents any kind of precision. Constant bugs and poor design decisions sap productivity. Severe bugs were left unfixed from v1 to v2.jthile

I was absolutely loving EVERYTHING about this app…the functionality, the mobility to create a book on the go, and the simplicity of the UI until this afternoon when all of a sudden, about 60 of my linked images all changed to ONE duplicated image that couldn’t be undone even by cycling through the history. On top of that, when manually replacing one linked image to its original pic, the app clearly bugged out and a lot of the backgrounds changed to that newly replaced image as well. But before you ask, no, it wasn’t an image placed on a master page by accident. Please, please, please get this fixed because I abandoned Adobe for Serif products because I fell in love with this company but the levels of stress I’ve endured by trying to find a way to get my book back have been unfathomable.Show lessHecHec90s
Not yet there, Mouse support!
As much as i love the idea of this on the ipad, it has got its flaws in regards to mouse support, i own a third party mouse that works fine on most apps but seems not be able to scroll and move on the pages, the only thing it works for is general cursor movement and clicking but lacks the full connectivity to make it feel like a desktop app.
hope this gets added or fixedShow lessRickyrollietheyhatin
Top value
People still moaning they felt hard done by because they felt this should have been free or something, need to get to grips with reality. The opposition costs way more on the other platforms, get behind this and support it. And the other nob saying you have to pay a fee to use it? Buy the suite and own it on every platform, it doesn’t get any better, seriously. Only criticism is getting fonts onto the iPad for projects you are using across other devices, but that’s a downside of the iPad really. Great job Serif.Show lesso0Spyder0o
One time fee
The idea you pay once and always updates is amazing next to using fcpx. There is a huge amount of content and templates supported by the company and 3rd party
Plus one buy and works on all Apple products is amazing dealDavid_Moi
Trash
App description says “No data collected” but it connects to various Serif servers and who knows what it uploads! This is unacceptable. Also if you purchase the app directly from the App Store, the app prompts you to create a Serif account, every, single, app launch!! Absolutely unacceptable. Feels like a scummy garbage app now. Clearly it was taken over “marketing and growth optimizer” so it’s natural that if now feels like cancer. Stay from this. Version 1 was great. This is pure garbage.Show lesswraithequestrain

We're really sorry - that constant prompting to register was a bug and shouldn't have happened. You should totally be able to use the app without registering and not be bugged about it!! The update which has just been released (2.0.4) has fixed this. Also lots of fixes have gone in to sort out some of the stability problems
