Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
There’s no task too big—or too small—for this robust photo editor. If you want to add some cool filters, you can. If you want to adjust the exposure, add some saturation, and make it ’gram-worthy, you can do that too. And if you’d rather draw than edit? You’re in luck. Affinity Photo packs support for Apple Pencil and an incredible array of basic and advanced illustration tools. Create unlimited layers, choose from an unsurprisingly enormous selection of brushes, and even create your own brushes—complete with jitter, spacing, and flow. (Sounds like dancing, right?)
Love the app but can’t use it
This app is great when it works but I can’t open it today - it is just stuck loading license configuration. I’ve tried all sorts of things and sometimes it allows me to open it after one of these ‘fixes’ but then it freezes and after shutting it down it just gets stuck on the loading screen again. Pulling my hair out!
Unfortunately this is not an isolated incident which is what has prompted this review. I am trying to enter a competition this morning which I have just found out about but it is the last day for the early bird discount - after which I wont be able to enter at all. Thanks Affinity.
Early days but it seems quite useful
Have just started but I like what there is. A fairly simple interface considering the options, even if it’s not always that clear what will do what. The experimentation is very rewarding.
Also, seems to work just fine on my rather old iPad mini 5, which I think is from 2020. So it isn’t all that vicious when it comes to requirements.
