"Affordable Solution"
What do you like best about Affinity Designer?

It works incredibly well and it's a one time fee that is affordable! I just it at work and at home. I love it so much I paid for it twice lol. Thank you for making a great product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Affinity Designer?

If you have no idea what your doing it's a bit of a learning curve BUT there's lots of learning tips out there on their site and on youtube. There isn't a ton of updates to the software but it works well, don't fix what isn't broken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely the product to use!!!"
What do you like best about Affinity Designer?

Starting out, it's so easy to learn and grab onto it quickly. Your options of what you create are endless.

Affinity Designer has SO MANY OPTIONS & ITS SO EASY TO LEARN. You will regret not getting Affinity Designer along with the other Affinity products. You can easily and quickly make your ideas, drawings, artwork in general and turn them into digital media art, posters, literary whatever you imagine, you can create!

"Excellent alternative to the more well known vector based software."
What do you like best about Affinity Designer?

The biggest appeal of Affinity Designer is that they have not embraced the subscription model for their software. As a small company that only requires the occasional use of certain software, monthly subscriptions can become cost prohibitive. With Affinity you just pay once. Above that though, its still a formidable alternative to Adobe. Having been a user of Adobe products for decades I have not encountered any major feature lacking in Affinity. If you are looking for a comparable alternative to Adobe products without the monthly subscription then check out Affinity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Affinity Designer?

The primary downside is the learning curve if you are coming from other software. Finding things in menus. Shortcuts. etc. Other than that there isn't much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely blows adobe away"
What do you like best about Affinity Designer?

I absolutely love have a raster and vector tools in one, it reminds me of fireworks before Adobe killed it. Also, not having a subscription is a big plus. I love it!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Affinity Designer?

The one big feature missing that I've noticed is an image trace function, however, there are apps in the store that just do vectorizing and the benefits far outweigh the small frustration of popping open a second program on the occasion I need it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use, the smooth UI flow and the tools to edit and modify images. It has great editing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Affinity Designer?

Its price can be lower than 10k inr but nothing major, maybe there can be more tools added as compared to photoshop by adobe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
