Bye bye Photoshop

J’adore importer des fichiers PSD et les modifier avec Affinity Photo 2 sur mon iPad Pro.

Freezing

I’ve been using affinity Photo 2 for about four years now. It is getting increasingly frustrating that halfway through a design the whole app freezes and I have to close the application down and reopen it, losing all of the work that I’ve just done despite the fact that I have frequent auto safe. I’ve checked and checked for any software upgrades to make sure it’s up-to-date, and nothing seems to work. It’s such a shame because this is easily the best editor software out there, if only it just stopped crashing.

Customer service is nonexistent. The reps are rude and discriminatory. Made BBB complaint today.

Had a simple problem of re adding this app which I purchased. I contacted customer service and for some reason the rep, Lance got frustrated because he couldn’t help and decided it was appropriate to call me GAY. Sounds like Affinity condones Homophobia and hate speech. I can’t believe I’ve used this app for years and he responds with name calling. This isn’t over.

Why?

I can’t even get into my account even though I already have a Canva account and recently just made a new one, this is unfair and unjust. I wish I could have what I downloaded it for, but the process is so unnecessarily long and complicated that I see the same screen over and over again.

Just what I needed

I haven’t used it for much, but so far it has been incredible. I can do all sorts of things that I didn’t even know were possible, with a level of ease that makes most tutorials pointless. I would still recommend you having YouTube or gpt open to find out how to do something specific because there are all sorts of tricks to make your workflow faster and easier that you wouldn’t expect.

Can’t log in

I downloaded the app today and attempted to log in using my canva account , the app had a link to verify my account but the link simply took me to a random article that gave me no way of verifying my account directly , I would rate the app higher but Haven’t even been able to use it yet . I went on the affinity website which claims it is coming to iPad soon , so am I actually able to use the app and just being stupid ?

Frustrating garbage!

Why is it garbage, the files are all Canva and you can’t change them. You can’t place them on you pictures and you can’t change their format. FRUSTRATING GARBAGE.

Amazing control and design tools

The interface allows you to get great results and is a powerful tool as powerful as photoshop or even better

Great product

The UI is a bit confusing, and is very different from the desktop version. But in general is a good photo editing software especially for the iPad.

App is the best ever

Even you can make it silly

Lo mejor para editar foto diseño que hay para el iPad

Affinity en definitiva lo mejor por el precio

Very good

Plenty tutorials online and very fun to use!

Still getting to grips

I have had the Affinity Suite for years, (desktop and iPad) but as a long-time Adobe user, I still find this a ‘clunky’ suite of apps … although I would hasten to add that it/they are very good. Now of course we have the ‘Canva / Affinity’ on desktop - which I am constantly learning / using … and find myself [regularly] watching tutorials … [could also be an ‘age thing’…]

BUGGY!!!!!

I have to keep closing & opening the app to do simple things like using the rulers or even as simple as slightly rotating or resizing a layer!! ANNOYING!!

Unintuitive

Functionally fine, but super confusing and I find myself constantly googling how to do super basic stuff which is really annoying.

Canva non link.

The instructions to use Affinity 2 via Canva is completely non intuitive. It doesn’t take me to Affinity but takes me round in circles. Eventually, although it says Free, it asks for one payment.
I’ll be delighted to return to Snapseed. Delighted!

IT IS NOT A SUBSCRIPTION MODEL (for now) AND IS STILL FREE

As of the current moment in time, people are confused as to why the app is free to download, and why affinity is still calling itself a free app, when it says as soon as you download it to start a “7 day free trial”

This is because Affinity Photo 3 has not dropped for iPad yet, and so it still relies on the old method of paying for the app to keep it, albeit with a 7 day trial to start out. So how do you get it for free then. Easy!

First, sign up and select the 7 day free trial. Once you get to the first screen on the app, select “account” on the side and purchase a license. When you get to the screen that lets you purchase said license, it will say “Pay $0.00” on it. Just select that, let it add itself to your apple account by using Touch ID or Face ID or whatever you use for transactions on your device, and then it should now say in the license section “Your license is activated and will never expire”

Here’s to hoping that updated iPad app (and maybe a Linux version please?) come sooner rather than later.

Can do good stuff but…

I downloaded this app to make an album cover for a song I’ve been working on in Logic Pro. I thought I would pick it up fast but it’s incredibly frustrating and difficult to learn how to use, and it would be great if there were more tutorials on how to use this app.

Works but can be more friendly

I’m quite new to the program and it works well so far! Just wish it was a bit more intuitive / user friendly. Maybe the new update will fix that??

Beware
