  • Feature rich, promising, glitches, crashing

    I have the full suite and Publisher is a nice place to get access to all features in one place. However, all the apps have the same glitches. Crashing, corrupted layers that crash it (rasterizing helps), seems like maybe cache fills with growing history(?) so I delete history when that happens to prevent crashes. Merging down causes crash (I use group and then rasterize as work around). The main issue is crashing. It’s too frustrating to make Affinity my main program when a number of alternatives do more or less what it can but don’t ever crash. Affinity crashes a handful of times per drawing session so much so that I factor that into my expectations while using it. If I was a pro I’d count it out just for that. Then theres issues with the interface: it’s clunky in terms of utility. I can’t customize or rearrange the workspace to my needs like in pc versions or like other art apps on ipad allow (clip studio, art studio pro) or even just hide panel buttons I don’t use at all or very often. The command controller is large and in the way but useful to have around, it would be cleaner to have the command buttons integrated into the side bar like the tools. Theres no basic file menu like there is on other softwares, (the menus are not set up in a universal or familiar way) and the save button isn’t quick and easy (it’s two menus deep or you have to back out to save.) The autosave doesn’t always work and lost work is a regular part of the process. I still gave 4 stars because I feel like with continued development and UX tweaks the whole Affinity suite could be a major contender and it’s nice to have programs that you can BUY, especially on mobile where thats even more rare than desktop. And the price of each is really good, especially on sale. I have hopes they’re working to iron it out 😌

    Has the problem of Arabic and Persian typing (RTL) been solved in this update? If this problem is solved, I will be happy to be able to buy and use these applications…

    It’s really hard to describe just how easy and intuitive these apps are. Just use the in-app help, if needed, or watch a few YouTubes. WELL made!
  • Lacking full keyboard support on M4 iPad Pro (bug?)

    I’m creating a magazine with Affinity Publisher 2 and love how comprehensive the features are! I don’t know if this started happening before or after the latest update, but when I’m trying to scroll through text in a text box using the Magic Keyboard, only the up/down arrows work. The left/right arrows do not, making it super inconvenient to type / edit characters. Hopefully this is an easy fix.
