"Awesome Platform with Great Features"
What do you like best about Affinity Designer?

Designer gives the no-professional and professional user enough of what they need to create or edit great graphics. It isn't over complicated and Serif has awesome videos which get a new user up and running with ease Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Affinity Designer?

This isn't a knock on Affinity, but sometimes when you purchase ready-made graphics for editing, the way they are imported to Designer makes it difficult and in some cases, impossible to edit. I believe this is more on the person and program that was used to create the original though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic! An absolute must purchase"
What do you like best about Affinity Designer?

Affinity Designer is hands down my must-have program. Working with any type of graphic design, I always use Affinity Designer. It is extremely powerful and easy to learn. It's very flexible and even works for some light photo editing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Affinity Designer?

The only issue I have with Affinity Designer is that it doesn't have a transparent artboard layout like Adobe Illustrator, so it's harder to work with many open artboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent vector editing software for the price"
What do you like best about Affinity Designer?

I love being able to design vector artwork without having to pay $20 monthly. The program is great! It's well designed and easy to navigate. I love the way they use layers and they've integrated bitmapped brushes in there as well which opens up so many new possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Affinity Designer?

There are a few drawbacks. Some areas could be tweaked in order to improve workflow. Text warp has not been implemented yet although you can set type along a path and then adjust each letter. It would be nice to be able to copy a gradient and re-use it in multiple shapes. If that is in there I have not figured it out yet. Also outputting the files to an Adobe friendly file still needs improving since it is difficult to avoid dealing with Photoshop at some point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Most Recent Art Buddy"
What do you like best about Affinity Designer?

This software, apart from being so economical on a one-time payment basically anyone could afford, is like having Photoshop, Inkscape, and Gimp -- three design programs -- rolled into one. I can do more with this program instead of hopping between the three, saving, working, saving, etc. And its capabilities are outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Affinity Designer?

It has one of the hardest learning curves, for me, because my mind is locked into using other programs that all have similar settings and functions but this one has a mind of its own and it was all new for me and I had to invest more time in it. It is now easy, but the learning curve is stiff for most folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
