Affinity v3.0.1 is out. It is now combined into single application encompassing Photo, Publisher and Designer. It is FREE. It's going to stay FREE. To understand why it is FREE, and how they will continue to make money as a company, read here: https://www.affinity.studio/get-affinity - -> Wikipedia also has a good explanation of what's going on. Search there for "Affinity (software)". 😁

V2 is now more than good enough for me and is great value and was proud it was British BUT ... ... After Ash saying "We are not for sale" they have now sold out to Canva in Australia, there are promises that it will not change BUT ... ... Big corporations run by accountants always lie, I have bought many apps over the years and eventually they change or vanish once under new ownership, time will tell ... .. I hope I'm wrong and that I will be praising V3 if it is affordable and not just another subscription app where we all pay for the rest of our lives to put the owners kids through college while the staff from Serif lounge on a beach spending the profits of their hard work

Affinity is A Smoke in your eyes! I tried two years ago, and I tried to like it. After about one week of playing with it, I knew that it is an illusion. You get a false appearance and a false impression, and that under the deceptive influences from not so accurate reviews. Yes, the whole package is very well waxed and polished, to make it self-selling. The looks of Affinity are deceptive. Almost every feature is repeated in many places, under different category or menu. The black background strengthens the polished look and the deception. So I don't see nothing special in A., as most of its function can be found in Graphic Converter. I used to use Photoshop and P.Elements until they became subscription. I'd gladly today would purchase either of them. Both photoshops are way superior to Affinity in everything. No comparison at all.

Once a big fan of Affinity products and seeing forward to combat Adobe, now very disappointed. V1 still has a lot of bugs they don't fix, while selling V2 already with the same bugs + new ones – vanishing UI elements, crashing dragged tabs, buggy multi screen setups, brushes not showing etc. Once they started with a well driven support, nowadays they're not even replying. What's going on?!
