Frustrated

Mrs.Thorne21 on

I loved this app until a few days ago, I make and import my own presets, as I edit about 50-100 photos in one go, but now this app won’t allow me to import my LUTs! I’ve reset my iPad, cleared my cache, deleted and reinstalled the app and no luck. Considering switching to a new editing software because this simply doesn’t work for me if it would continue like this. The rest of the app works great! So if LUTs are no concern to you then it’s a great app, but that’s my bread and butter so big disappointment for me.

Awful user interface for iPad.

Sylvester The Red on

The open doc shows only tiny previews. Once you open a pic the scrolling interface at the left is impossible to navigate without randomly displacing random sliders. I stopped right there!

NICE BUT ONE MISSING

10 of 9 of Borg on

It’s good but one thing missing is how to save photos to the Apple library photos and no one answer to my question. So this app end up be 3.5 out of 5.

Best option on iPad for substantial photo editing

ailu on

PS replacement as-is, but only real option on iPad if you want a non-subscription based photo editor. To be clear, I do not use any subscription based editors at all. The model is not viable for most users I think personally. And as such Affinity is the best package available.

Very frustrating!

Twotnblr on

I paid for version 1 I tried signing in for version 2, I don’t have a password because it was not required for version 1. I filled out info giving my email, you said If You find my account you will send me an email. I never got one. I’ve tried 3x, Please reply ASAP. I will email too. I’m a youtuber, on Instagram and many other platforms, if this does not get resolved we will NOT recommend this app to our fans #crazyfunnycats66 #CFC66 🇨🇦 Thanks Ron F

Functionality is great but poor integration with Photos

Martin868 on

I don’t understand that it is not possible to open a photo from the photo library with affinity and save it back. It uses none of the integration capabilities of the os such as the share sheet or extensions. The have to fix this

Terrific

gbhbc on

If you look through the negative reviews you’ll notice that they are largely from people who don’t know they can still use V1 or who found a bug that has subsequently been addressed by the developer. The developer should have a way to delete these outdated ratings. Affinity offers a much better alternative than the subscription systems. Its products are powerful, easy to learn, and continuously updated at no expense. I’ve been a user since the original version was launched, and have continually been impressed by the company. The ease of interactivity between the three apps is the way apps should be built.

$$$$$$

You took my money …..the app is not working well…..impossible to have my money back……dont buy this …….

Opened up my creativity

Broghan on

To be fair, I’ve never spent very much time in Photoshop-like applications on iOS or on PC, so I don’t have any kind of professional baseline. As a hobbyist that likes to have a good amount of control over my photos without having to come to terms with extremely complex and vague interfaces, I’ve had a really good time with Affinity Photo. A large part of my creativity gets sucked out of me when I’m presented with what I imagine a rocket control panel is. The majority of the interactive parts of the interface are presented in a way where I could figure out what they did, and for what I couldn’t figure out, the “help” button was really nice to have. Not everything was that obvious, such as the concept of live filters, or what flow, accumulation, or hardness actually meant, but using the application for a little while definitely helps you learn if you’re stubborn like me and you don’t want to read through a bunch of tutorials online. I also love the brushes I got in the integrated store, though I do wish some of them were a little less obtuse to install, since you can’t install everything through the integrated store. I haven’t had much bad luck when it comes to stability, thankfully. In the several weeks I’ve spent using Photo 2, I’ve had about 4 crashes, which the autosave thankfully saved me from. It was frustrating, but nothing unrecoverable. The UI tends to glitch out if you connect to an external display, or if you use Stage Manager, knobs tend to be oversized and some screen elements disappear completely. This all goes away with a restart, but it does take away from the experience. I’m using this application on an M2 iPad Pro, and I’m able to have tons of layers and effects on my photos at a time. My iPad does heat up during certain situations, such as adjusting colour curves, and certain brushes such as the clone brushes from the Glitch pack are a little laggy when using the hover feature of the Apple Pencil, but I’m honestly still getting over being amazed that software this powerful can even run on a mobile platform. I’m not a professional by any means, but Affinity Photo 2 sure makes me feel like one.

Wait a minute…
