Last year I got an iPad pro as a gift. I’ve been meaning to do more with it especially photo editing and I finally got around to looking into it.
But…every damn photo app seems to be a subscription. The ones that aren’t are very basic.
Until I found Affinity Photo 2.
Holy hell, an extremely full featured photo app with no sub?! It’s like Lightroom and Photoshop rolled into one for a one-time payment of $A30.
I took a few days to learn it and once you do it’s very good.
For the cost of buying Affinity forever I could get Adobe’s photo plan for just 2 months!
For someone like me who will use this stuff lightly, going some months without using it at all, subscription software sucks.
Well done to Affinity for providing a high quality alternative. Give them a look - they also have Windows and Mac versions.
This sounds like an ad but it’s not, I’m just so tired of having subs pushed in my face - especially on the app store - that when I find a good alternative I feel like shouting about it!
I agree 100%, Affinity is amazing and certainly have my loyalty mostly BECAUSE of no sub. I will say that I need to spend more time using Affinity Photo. I know it can do all I need it to do but I’ve gotten so used to just using Pixelmator Pro and moving on. Both are great!
