Ratings and Reviews
The app itself is good but with the recent update, i am unable to access the app
I was using this app quite a lot, but since the recent update; it doesn't seem to work, asking me to purchase something and restoring from the app store doesn't seem to work (may be broken).
The app itself is nice to work with and really enjoy using it. Hopefully they can fix it and ill update my review.
Don't buy this app
I felt cheated to have bought all their three original Affinity Suite (Photo, Designer & Publisher) which the developer promised "one-time purchase for lifetime license".
However, they now break their promise and show their evil plan to stop support their original version of Affinity Suite in order to force their customers to buy their version 2 Affinity Suite.
Comparing both the versions, it appears that there is little to no improvement in most features despite that they claimed to have spent significant time re-writing their app.
The developer should have honored their promise and give free upgrade to their original customers.
Don't buy their products or else you will fall into the same frustration of their original customers.
Buying a lifetime license means nothing
I thought using the first version was an excellent way to eliminate paying Adobe $70 a month, its a shame to see affinity go down the same path

The licence you purchased can still be used for as long as you wish to. Unlike subscription based apps, you do not lose access to software already purchased when a new version is launched.
