I love the texture and blending brushes, the interface is just as easy as illustrator and love that it is now integrated with Canva, which is game changer! Love that it has about all the same features as Illustrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be awesome to have a font integration similar to adobe fonts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Affinity Designer is the affordability. Other publisher apps charge an arm and a leg. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Affinity Designer is not as intuitive as I would like it to be after using other similar apps for years. Also Affinity Designer is a bit buggy and the screen takes time to refresh after a change is made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software is very reliable and fast, it can edit even large files without stress (vector and raster graphics). I also appreciate the fact that it has a perpetual license instead of the annual subscription, the cost is adequate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular, just some rare lags when opening large files with many embedded elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is worth mentioning positively that Affinity does not have a subscription system. YOU pay for the software and get the updates for free. I love the interface. It looks much more modern and you find the tools faster than with Adobe. There are enough tutorials for the tool. Of course, it can't be compared to Adobe, but that's difficult when Illustrator has been on the market for so many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The color settings are often not intuitive. It is difficult to use the workflow that one had with Adobe in Affinity. Sometimes it is frustrating. Of course, it is different software, but some things I don't understand why they have to be different. There are three workspaces (Vector, Pixel, and Export), which are sometimes confusing.

It's easy to use, cost effect and works. Serif are constantly updating and keeping it relevant and it supports multiple file formats both for importing and exporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing really, it's a great product and updated reasonably regularly. It can be annoying if you buy from Serif directly (say for a beta) and then they release it o the app store and there's no way to get the App Store version without purchasing again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great UI and UX. Quick to get to grips with the basics. Hugely capable with top features and compatibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback is the compatability with certain filetypes if converting from other software. Not really a dislike, but could really make it even greater. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have purchased the suite of Affinity tools, but it's Designer I use the most. I have found that it's one of the easier graphics packages to pick up and use without a massive learning curve. I use it to resize and take images to the final publishing stage for our social media. I like the way that it is easy to manipulate images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I learn what i need to know, as many others do. I would like to know it inside and out ideally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use

Simple and easy interface

Various and varied tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are not enough tools for artificial intelligence, even though other programs are built-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity and the ecosystem between Affinity software. The handling is simple, easy, and can be used in vector illustrations. It's my alternative tool to Illustrator. The handling is not obvious at first, but by using it every day, it will become automatic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The handling is not easy, especially when you've been using Illustrator for 15 years; the transition is complicated. However, there is one thing that still hasn't been fixed, which is the interpretation of EPS files created in Illustrator or other software, which is disastrous for file usage. It seems like it interprets the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Somewhat different interface but it was easy to use and have fun Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me some time to get used to some features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
