Better than PS

The iPad version of Affinity Photo is the best photo editing app I’ve used on iPad. Hands down. I prefer the desktop version to Photoshop when examining it holistically to include cost, learning curve, etc. buy it, you will love it!

Simple and powerful

I’m using Affinity photo to quickly process photos from my Sony A7RIV, which is a 61 megapixel sensor. The files are NOT small, even using compressed RAW files. I use an external card reader to open the files directly via import. Then, it’s as easy as saving the modified image to iCloud via an export function with robust features. Done. Tip: Share is separate from save. Affinity handles the files like a champ with the M1 iPad Air. I’m coming from the Windows version of Affinity and trying the shrink my travel setup. I don’t have a pen or keyboard and so far Affinity as my main processing app is working pretty well. Will need to check back after more time! Happy customer.

Extremely powerful, not a “mobile app”. Focus stack, star stack, pano stack!!

I’ve used photoshop on my desktops since 2002, and I’ve tried everything to get away from them. I love editing on my iPad, and having it as my main “computer “, but the editing software is horrible. Gimp on Linux is one thing, but the tik-tok type garbage editing software seems to be made for instagram rather than real professional photography. I’ve used darkroom, Lightroom, and a few other iPad apps. I thought this would be another stripped down app, barely able to keep up with Lightroom. It’s by far the best photo app on iPad. Extremely in depth editing. Very complicated at first, but lots and lots of tools, adjustments, and raw editing. You NEED to watch a few of there tutorials to even figure out what’s going on. It reminds me of a new person using photoshop. This will completely replace desktop editing for me. It’s more than enough power than I’d ever use. I generally do some masking, color, light, and cloning. This does all that plus way more. I love that I can do focus stacking, panoramic stacking, star stacking etc. you will definitely be happy after you try and learn this software. Great deal.

unintuitive for power users, confusing for basic users.

they tell ppl to open feedback on their stupid webforum which they simply neglect to respond to. the delete key doesnt do anything. holding CMD fails to show ANY commands or shortcuts. bad ipad app, arguably worse than the day I bought it.

Great app, but subpar compared to the desktop version.

While I love this app and it is surprisingly functional relative to most apps that claim to do the same things, I can’t recommend if you own the desktop version. The ui is different in a lot of ways which can be jarring when switching between the two. I still have not figured out if/how to do the simple action of flipping your selection horizontally or vertically. On top of that there’s seemingly some features that the app is capable of doing but doesn’t allow you to do on the app. For example line weight is not adjustable at all. When trying to give a vector line thickness you can, but you can’t change how the thickness grows or shrinks through out the line using profiles like you can on desktop. Yet when importing projects from desktop the retain their thickness profile, you just can’t change it for some reason? It’s small things like this that make switching to the iPad version of this software really frustrating, and with the additional price tag on top of it I can’t recommend unless you travel a lot and you need to be able to make edits to your projects on the go.
