Forget the competion, this is what you need!

What do you like best? Affinity Designer is a software made from designers for designers, tired of paying an abusive amount of money on a tool. It has enough resources to work as a graphic designer and for a one-time payment! I am a huge fan! What do you dislike? The shortcuts were made for mac users, so some shortcuts are not so intuitive for windows users. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I was paying so much on monthly ...

A fast, intuitive, and simple program

What do you like best? I love how simple the user interface is compared to other design programs. In addition, the Affinity is incredibly snappy in every single situation. What do you dislike? I don't like that there's not much addition integration with the Adobe Ecosystem. I believe you should be able to work hand-in-hand in case Adobe's software has a feature that Affinity has yet to add. Recommendations to others considering the product Although the interface is simple enough, it's ...

Here comes the new standard

What do you like best? It's a young company, with a well defined direction and a LOT of drive. It's refusing to subjugate to Adobe's trend of making everything a subscription, so, once you pay for the software, it's YOURS. And you still get any update for—like—2 years, after that! As a program, I think it already surpasses the actual standard for vector design, Adobe Illustrator. It does all sorts of things that Illustrator, does some things more, and does it faster and, often, ...

The Adobe Illustrator Killer

What do you like best? Everything just works! The program is intuitive and innovate. Its low impact requirements make it a must have for any machine. ITS NOT ON A SUBSCRIPTION MODEL! One affordable price and its yours forever! It takes everything that makes sense from Illustrator and nothing that doesnt. The learning curving is incredibly low the how powerful it is. Its update schedule is robust and frequent. What do you dislike? The have yet to put puppet warp in the software (its in ...

Good

What do you like best? Simple system, neat alternative to the usual software What do you dislike? Layout didn’t work for me - not organized in a way that worked for me. Recommendations to others considering the product Give it a trial run first - it may be exactly what you’re looking for, or not. Objectively a good product but didn’t fit my needs. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Attempted to use as alternative to others such as ...

Affinity Designer: The Most Outstanding new graphic design program in years

What do you like best? Where to begin? Affinity Designer is a feature-rich, well designed, ergonomic working environment with insane flexibility when designing projects. It is lightweight but absurdly powerful, and it has an ever increasing community base that has transitioned from Adobe. Also, it's a $50 one time purchase!!!! What do you dislike? Not much! My "dislikes" are simply because the software is still in development. I'd like to see image trace for vectoring raster images, but ...

Affordable Adobe Alternative

What do you like best? This is a great alternative if you can't afford Adobe Illustrator. There are a lot of the same tools and functionality that makes it pretty easy to transition to Affinity Designer. There are also more tutorials becoming available to learn the program. What do you dislike? Like any new program, it takes time to get used to a different interface. I am still trying to learn some of the tools. Recommendations to others considering the product If you're on the fence ...
