  • Amazing No subscription drawing app

    By No subscription, great 2d art
    Great drawing app. It even lets you use adobe brushes. I do all my pro line art in Affinity Designer, and with the exact same file load it in to Affinity Photo to color. And go back with the same file and chance a vector line. Outstanding!
  • Excellent App

    What can I say about these apps that hasn't already been said? The one thing I would like to see is the brush or tool circle while actually using the Apple Pencil instead of it disappearing after adjusting the size. that's really about it.

  • Really hard to use, not much documentation

    I have tried to use the brush tool for about two hours now; can’t tell if it’s me but everything I do to my photo disappears after adding a new layer or the tools don’t do anything when I try to use them. Please provide more documentation for beginners because this tool seems really powerful, not very user friendly though.
  • Mediocre

    Good luck. Changing the rulers to inches from pixels. Even google Gemini couldn’t help me with this. This only gets an editors review because majority of people will never know how to use it. This is abominable and needs to be open to USER input, not what you think what we want or, need on your terms. Sad. The color IN-accuracy of an iPad will never do your app justice. FYI.
  • Game Changer!

    I have officially switched 100% to Affinity products and ditched Creative Cloud Adobe products. I was intimidated to use this software at first as I’ve been using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc. for so many years. I am an artist and prefer to work on my tablet. With Affinity, you get the same functionality on your tablet as you do on your desktop. I can’t believe I was too intimidated to cut the cord with Adobe. I wish I did this long ago. Thank you Affinity for your amazing product that’s going to help my small business thrive. I can streamline my process and not starve to death while doing so. If anyone out there is wondering if they should rip the bandaid off and cut ties with Adobe, do it (insert Ben stiller “do it” meme here). Adobe is raising prices again, crashing our computers, and giving garbage support. When I first purchased Affinity, I had a quick question for customer service and was answered very quickly and politely :) To the developer(s): you rock. Thank you!
  • Stopped working, must buy AGAIN?!

    I DO NOT TRUST AFFINITY. I bought V1 of this app, and now it doesn’t work. This was all in an effort to force me (and you) to buy V2. How many times will we have to re-purchase this app? Updates are fine, but having a forced subscription after a couple years of use is an unwelcome surprise. I PAID FOR THIS APP, my iPad Pro hasn’t changed, only this app. I might as well get photoshop and have some real power. At least I know what the cost will be without having surprise software theft from Affinity. 👎

    It was a little confusing at first but I’m definitely getting the hang of it!!! Watch the tutorials and you will have no problems!!! And it’s only a one time payment of $20 for my iPad no reoccurring charges!!!

    I shoot JPEG + RAW and the RAW file from it is just comes out all black when imported. Hope this is updated soon. Otherwise I’m really happy with the app.
