I find Affinity Designer really good and worth using. The newest version is really attractive and it can do almost everything like Photoshop, illustrating, and layout tasks. It even supports reading and recollecting, which is amazing to see. I really like that it's not just one tool; it's every tool in one. I really appreciate the features because they give us the best experience. The setup meets my expectations because it really looks like a tough illustrator, so it wasn't very hard to learn. Plus, it has a very interactive UI, making it easy to do everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that Affinity Designer doesn't meet my expectations in AI features. It doesn't look as good as other AI software. Additionally, there are little things that need improvement, like AI and adaptation in RTL format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Affinity Designer is very fast and allows for a smooth experience, even when I work with large projects, it continues to function very well without freezing. It is a very intuitive tool; it was very quick to understand the interface when I started using it. Additionally, I really appreciate that it doesn't have a monthly subscription, but rather is a one-time purchase. It is also very useful because it allows me to design logos and icons and export them in SVG, serving as a quick alternative to other tools like AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that there are features that could be further developed or elaborated on, they could add the possibility of adding plugins like in Illustrator. The interactive tracing tool or Autotrace has details that it doesn't detect well, it uses too many nodes, many irregular edges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Affinity Photo really easy to use and understand, especially when working with 360 images. I love that I can view images in VR mode and edit them simultaneously, which is amazing. Affinity Photo allows me to quickly remove unwanted elements, like tripods and people, from videos efficiently and effortlessly, doing it fast and easy in just three clicks. Additionally, the initial setup was really easy, as our professor explained it to us quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it harder to locate tools because I'm used to Photoshop's design. I would love if they have a learn mode like Adobe, which leads you to their videos to learn that specific tool of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Affinity Photo for its ease of use and layout, which helps me with typography layouts, editing sketches, photo editing, and image compositing. I appreciate how the integration of typefaces allows me to prototype edits and see them in different settings, and how the ability to adjust and tweak brushes adds versatility to my work. Additionally, the initial setup was super easy and straightforward, only requiring registration. This combination of features makes Affinity Photo valuable for creating business cards and graphic designs effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it challenging to use OpenType features and have difficulty accessing alternate characters when editing layouts. The software also functions better with a wider screen display. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Affinity Photo for image manipulation and creating mockups. It's a big money saver for a solo designer like me because it's a one-time purchase, not a subscription, saving me over $100 every year. I like the affordability and the thoughtful user experience of the app, which doesn't feel overwhelming and offers easy control and customization. I can do all kinds of projects with it and have mastered the software in a shorter time. The switch from a competitor to Affinity Photo was really easy, especially if your fundamentals are clear. Also, the initial setup was easy, taking just a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the app a bit laggy coming from Photoshop. Laggy means it's missing the smoothness on zoom or when moving around the project. I think Photoshop utilizes the GPU and CPU better than Affinity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its functionalities are easier to understand than any other design software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I don't find any flaws or insurmountable complexities that are present in other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is an alternative to Adobe Photoshop and functions very similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that it had more of the same features as Adobe Photoshop. One key feature that I love from Adobe Photoshop is generative fill that is not easily done well in Affinity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is alot less money than adobe and gives me most of what I need to create the work I do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I need to create vectors from images and also outline fonts but I think that has now been solved with the new canva app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how professional it feels while still being easy to use once you get the hang of it. The one-time payment is a huge plus compared to subscription models and once you tried it once, you will stick to it and use if often, and the performance is smooth even on large RAW files. I also like that its easy to setup and it supports non-destructive editing and has most of the advanced tools I’d expect from high-end software without overwhelming the workspace.

For me, the learning curve can be a bit steep if you’re coming from other editors like Photoshop. Some tools and workflows take time to get used to, and a few niche features available in Adobe’s ecosystem aren’t here yet. Also, having more built-in tutorials or guided help would make the transition easier for beginners Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
