NO SUBSCRIPTION.” really grabbed my attention. The iPhone, being the device (or platform) I have with me at all times, is naturally the device I would find most useful to have Affinity Publisher working on. That’s not the way I see it.įrom my perspective I wanted Affinity to produce a version of Publisher that would work on both iPads & iPhones so that I could amend stuff, mainly text, I produced in Publisher on my ancient iMac. I take on board what others are saying, ie: that I’m a troll just ‘knocking’ Affinity. It’s worth considering if you have your choice of software and want to save money.įollow on Twitter for the latest tech deals and buying advice.I tried doing that originally, but didn’t notice any difference.I thought I tried doing that on the page in question, but maybe I only tried the first couple or so of pages and assumed all the rest would be the same.

And it’s still true that Serif’s apps are optimized for M1 Macs where Adobe is still fleshing out support. You can buy an app once knowing you’ll always have access to it for your next project. Hopefully, the world will have improved to the point where sales like this aren’t as important.Īs before, there’s a simple allure: the Affinity suite offers much of the functionality of equivalent Adobe creative apps (Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign) without the need for a costly ongoing subscription. The studio had discounted its apps by ‘just’ 30 percent for Black Friday, so there’s no guarantee you’ll get this large of a bargain in the future. If you’re unsure, you can try any of the apps for free in a 90-day trial - even if you used a trial last year.

The company is once again offering 50 percent discounts on Affinity Designer, Photo and Publisher whether you buy them for a computer ($35 each) or iPad ($14 each). Serif ran a sale on its apps to help creatives at the start of the pandemic, and it’s bringing back those deals at a particularly difficult moment.
