Just purchased and found that it does not include the Astro stacking persona as in the Mac version. The company literature indicates that the iPad version has the same functionality as the Mac version. So, is this to be added in upcoming updates? It is the main reason I purchased and disappointed that it was missing from the app.

I got Affinity Photo because I wanted to edit my photos with better effects and less destructive processes than was available to me using the free program G.I.M.P.. I like the quality of life updates and the work flow that in some areas is not just comparable to Adobe Photoshop but excels beyond the more limited interface of photoshop. I think that Affinity Photo is very competitive and listens to its user base. I think that Affinity is in some ways better and is going to continue to bring quality updates especially because it is a smaller company with something to prove. I really wish the program would work on my windows 11 computer. I was very happy when the license I bought for windows also allowed me to download and use the program on IPad Pro. I think this is a very quality program and a very conscious and progressive company that I hope continues to support and listen to their users.

Has affinity photo for Ipad been discontinued? Did they call it affinity photo 2 so you have to buy it again?

Canva purchased Affinity. If you purchase past this point you will likely have LIMITED updates in the future. You will likely have a subscription model with social media bloat and cloud limited. You were warned.

It’s taken me a long time to decide how I feel about Photo 2 after using the first version. The giant change between the two is that it is now a near-exact replica of the desktop app; they replaced dialog boxes with a UI system that suits the iPad better (it would have been a travesty if they hadn’t), and you still have to think a bit laterally to figure out where to find features. But that’s not new. What held me up for a long time was the Command Controller. That’s the thing that substitutes for the keyboard: command, control, option, shift keys. The desktop version can’t work without them, and neither can this. That means my habit of holding the iPad in one hand and drawing with the other keeps tripping and falling down. It’s most annoying when it _almost_ works, then hits a snag. So I regret the loss of some workarounds that they’ve removed, like the ability to select multiple layers by tapping one then sliding on the others. Constant annoyance: to get to Help, you have to exit the current document, find it on the main menu, then close it and go back to the document. Despite complaints, one huge accolade: this is an iPad app that does almost everything its desktop cousin does, and its cousin is first rate. This is a copy-and-paste of what I just said about Designer 2, since all of it—including, or especially the accolade—apply equally.

No words needed. Download and you all set. One of the best apps on the market.

Thank you Seriff for providing such amazing tool for photo editing! I never doubt it d be that great specially for its price. But I’m glad I bought it. Now id like to see some Ai improving for masking,selecting subjects. Since I’m using this app, I drop photoshop for good! Keep on the good work!

I own the original Affinity photo for iPad. I loved the program until it recently started crashing when using the clone tool. I would spend a lot of time cloning out blank borders, created from a panorama, only to have the program crash about two dozen times before I was able to save my work. I am using an iPad Pro 12.9 sixth generation. Today I began the trial for version two of Affinity photo for iPad. It crashes the same way that version one does. Before I’m able to save my work, the program crashes, and all of the work, including hours worth are lost. I should not lose the ability to use version 1 for iPad, but I was willing to pay again, if version 2 would work. Sadly, it does not, so I may not continue the seven day trial.

One of the worst out of affinity line up for the iPad. It cant read any LUTS and you cant even import them even though i can successfully upload them but dont show up on the LUTS menu. I tried changing the LUTS to CUB from CUBE but no shot

Would give this zero stars if I could, no tool bar on top or on the right side, read all the tutorials and nothing worked, even tried reinstalling and got the same result, when I hit view the word view pops up and then goes right off
