Affinity Publisher 2 Pros

✓ Great App - Shame about the registration processThe App itself is amazing and for the price it deserves 5 stars. The only downside was the registration process. The license seems to be linked to one program and if you open a different one after purchasing - it invalidates the license for all versions. Actually - If you are logged into your correct Apple App store account and you click on the buy button again (on the Affinity App's launch screen), it realises you already bought the software, then gives you the opportunity to register it. Having developed some iPad Apps, and seeing how over convoluted Apple make things.... I'm sure a big part of the problem is on Apple's side..GaztaVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Excellent little app ... awesome!Quark and InDesign veteran with 1000's of pages for magazine and tabloid production. This program astonishes me "InDesign didn't do that". And whatever frustrations I've had with (color), vanish ONCE you actually LEARN the program. Very fast workflow. Very, very nice going guys! Now, can you fix it so it works on my iPad mini 6 also, already does on iPad 12.9, and on desktop. Very pleased. Oh, can you put the page DUPLICATE and DELETE buttons a bit father away from one another. Thx.TrekBassVersion: 2.1.1

Affinity Publisher 2 Cons

✗ License issuesThis is a nightmare. I'm really keen to support a company like Serif who don't follow the subscription model. Huge kudos to them for that however, the licensing process is a complete mess. Download from the App store. Purchase from within the App. Thats it - no way to associate with my Serif account as per the instructions on their website. Have reached out to the support group but am yet to hear from anyone. Poor.ScottjoVersion: 2.0.0

✗ In App Purchase Failed to activate PublisherHonestly, I don't think they could have made this more confusing. Wanting to purchase the Universal Licence, the in-app purchase to £90 from me and has left me unable to use the app outside the trial mode. An affinity ID appears to be neded and there's a confusing mess advice as to how to associate your purchase with your ID. None have worked so far. I was keen to make the leap from version 1 to version 2 and the affinity apps are an important part of my workflow, but this paid step up is proving to be a nightmare. Before Serif jump on this review and and advise me to contact support. I've done that and frankly still feel strongly that this release at this moment is not fit for purpose..SolosailorVersion: 2.0.0
