Photo

I’m a professional graphic designer. I use this as a professional tool from my ipad. Really nice to freelance with, it has all the essentials and more. <br/><br/>Yeah it crashes sometimes but not more than adobe apps on my laptop.

There are issues that have not been fixed. I’m using an iPad pro. This app can be amazing. It’s like photoshop but the way photoshop should be for the iPad. The issue I have though is it crashes or freezes when using the selection tool and working on refinements. Ive also been dealing with a weird issue where I will save a photo then start a knew one and when I go to save it, it will save as the previous photo not the knew one. The only work around I’ve found is closing the app after every photo. <br/> Again if you know how to use photoshop and are comfortable with it, this is a great option for iPad. I just really wish they would address these issues!

I get lost too much in the sections. I wish I could access anything from the menu, filed where it more commonly is found in most software, at least. <br/>Can you please make a simpler UI for those who want a more combined workspace rather than things sectioned out? It’s too much tapping for something that can easily be in a pop up or something. I get lost a lot.<br/>For example I don’t need a whole UI dedicated to selection… I get lost there and can’t do basic things I do commonly regardless of what I’m doing. Every time I think I have it figured out I end up having to relearn it again.<br/>Too often I can’t even word what I’m trying to do or it thinks it’s something else so I end up with a bunch of irrelevant search results.<br/>If y’all could fix this on both apps that would be helpful. Also a way to combine the two apps if one has both so you can work on one project using both.

they tell ppl to open feedback on their stupid webforum which they simply neglect to respond to. the delete key doesnt do anything. holding CMD fails to show ANY commands or shortcuts. bad ipad app, arguably worse than the day I bought it.

Does Not Work. Can't even cut and paste to a new layer. Makes you tap so many menus and open things in additional documents. Not a Photoshop replacement because it's less usable than mspaint. Wrote a whole review but the Apple store isn't much more functional. Just use Procreate for anything basic. I want a refund but I bought this and then did not ending up trying the app for a year or so and Apple doesn't think that a nonfunctional app still being sold should get refunded if someone discovers it's a scam when they finally open it.

I purchased this app solely to create a Panoramas, and this app can barely render one out of the 20 that I attempted. The app crashes and crashes and crashes, and this is completely unacceptable. If you were looking for a panorama maker, avoid this app like the plague. I’m on a 2021 m1 iPad Pro, so I don’t understand why I’m having any issue at all. This app honestly runs super slow and I’m requesting a refund as soon as possible. This is my first experience with Affinity and it will be my last. I’d rather go back and deal with Adobe. Their apps rarely crash on iPad.

I’ve used photoshop on my desktops since 2002, and I’ve tried everything to get away from them. I love editing on my iPad, and having it as my main “computer “, but the editing software is horrible. Gimp on Linux is one thing, but the tik-tok type garbage editing software seems to be made for instagram rather than real professional photography. I’ve used darkroom, Lightroom, and a few other iPad apps. I thought this would be another stripped down app, barely able to keep up with Lightroom. It’s by far the best photo app on iPad. Extremely in depth editing. Very complicated at first, but lots and lots of tools, adjustments, and raw editing. You NEED to watch a few of there tutorials to even figure out what’s going on. It reminds me of a new person using photoshop. This will completely replace desktop editing for me. It’s more than enough power than I’d ever use. I generally do some masking, color, light, and cloning. This does all that plus way more. I love that I can do focus stacking, panoramic stacking, star stacking etc. you will definitely be happy after you try and learn this software. Great deal.

While I love this app and it is surprisingly functional relative to most apps that claim to do the same things, I can’t recommend if you own the desktop version. The ui is different in a lot of ways which can be jarring when switching between the two. I still have not figured out if/how to do the simple action of flipping your selection horizontally or vertically. On top of that there’s seemingly some features that the app is capable of doing but doesn’t allow you to do on the app. For example line weight is not adjustable at all. When trying to give a vector line thickness you can, but you can’t change how the thickness grows or shrinks through out the line using profiles like you can on desktop. Yet when importing projects from desktop the retain their thickness profile, you just can’t change it for some reason? It’s small things like this that make switching to the iPad version of this software really frustrating, and with the additional price tag on top of it I can’t recommend unless you travel a lot and you need to be able to make edits to your projects on the go.
