Love it!
Forty years ago, I typeset on Apple computers and used Pagemaker. Having been retired for decades, I searched for a program that was easy and fast to use that had enough controls to create a layout in short order. I want to create, print and get on with my life. This is the one! I was able to easily maneuver about the controls seeing many similarities to the old Pagemaker and so many more improvements - too many to mention in this short review. The price was at a level that I could justify, so I jumped in and bought it. NOT SORRY. Thanks to the developers for such a great program. Only one critique: the pointer arrow is a bit too large and covers the control names. But, not a deal breaker by any means.
United StatesWhoa!
I've gotten by for several years with Designer and Photo, ut confronted with a long document and a short deadline, bought this program. I was done in half an hour.
United StatesHyperlinking Still Not Working
Reached out to support a couple weeks back about hyperlinking and its still broken. Affinity Publisher is completely useless to me without hyperlinking.
United StatesEXCELLENT Product!
Can't believe what we get for the price. There are of course issues importing files from an Adobe-centric world but I dropped the subscription and switched - never looked back. Add how the apps (Affinity Designer - Affinity Photo - Affinity Publisher) work together like one - GAME CHANGER! Should be App of the year — 2021!
United StatesUpdate.
Es excelente software por un precio unico. Solo necisita algunas mejora. Por el momento ya no uso las sobre precio y desgarradoras software de Adobe. ¿Porque usar Adobe por un alticimo $precio$ cuando puedes usar estos productos super economicos y y puedes hacer lo mismo?
United StatesBetter documentation needed
Doing even the simplest tasks requires a total reunderstanding of how a program suite should operate. This would be fine if there was good documetation or startup tutorials out there, especially ones geared towards coming from Adobe products. When it works it's fine, when you want to add a brush and don't know there are "personas" that must be switched to in order to access certain features, it's not fine. Adding brushes, for instance, requires jumping between multiple personas to access them.
United Statesworse than adobe
Not as intuitive as adobe distracting and complicated but the price is very cheap
