I nearly a total beginner with this kind of app, and no artist, but I’m enjoying it hugely. I totally love the interface. I think I’m fortunate in that department since I don’t have any preconceived bias about how things should work from having learned other programs.
Not having an artist bone in my body, I’ve been using it to try to turn photos into drawn art. Very addictive. I’ve had a few crashes, but very little lost work. The program seems to auto save pretty often.
Crash city on this end.
This is an awesome app. I wanted to get back to drawing and it presented an excellent opportunity to do just that. The tools are top notch for vector and pixel rendering. A must buy for any person wishing to optimize graphic creations on iPad.
That silly thing was the reason I bought this Designer app buy Affinity. Thans for that!
For many of the members here on Audiobus forum, both music and art (at any form) is pretty close to our hearts...
Affinity Designer for iPad is where everything comes together, just like a good DAW (Beatmaker 3, Auria Pro or Cubasis) or beatbox (Groove Rider GR16 or Patterning)...
Feeling soooo lucky to have the advantage of modern technology (iPad) and modern software! Thank's to ALL software developer out there!!
I’m still on the fence about Affinity Designer.. not disinterested, just holding back after a few recent app purchases.
Designer has gotten good praise in general, I’m just wondering what you’re able to do that you can’t do in other vector and bitmap apps. I just picked up Affinity Photo recently and although it is definitely a great app, the general workflow is a bit chaotic and has a few too many menus than I’d like. To be honest although it is “feature-packed”, I’ve found I can do most things more easily in other apps that have been around for a while.
I guess that’s partly why I’m reluctant to jump into Designer. Is it similarly heavy on the menu-diving? I know not all drawing apps can be designed as well as Procreate, and that Designer is predominantly a vector based app. Do I go for this one or Graphic etc. to cover vector needs? I wish Assembly hadn’t moved over to subscription.. it’s kinda the vector equivalent of Procreate.
I would not hesitate to buy Affinity Designer for iPad!
The combination of both a vector AND a pixelbased drawing app is what makes it fuckin' great!
You can also apply filters to both vector as pixel layers...
Best 15 euro/dollar/pounds spend this side of 2015 and forward!
Cool thanks for the feedback! I’ll do some research into the vector tools. Does it come with a lot of pre-made shapes and UI icons to place and tweak (like in Assembly)?
It’s pro level vector drawing/design software, so its more suited to those who create artwork from scratch, but there’s a few basic shapes to play with.
Ridiculously low price for what it provides, but possibly overkill for most users.
Doh. Thanks for trying. Dammit, that was pretty much the most important feature to me.
Okay good to know. I do create artwork from scratch but I haven’t used vectors much. I generally prefer raster but figured vectors make sense for non organic elements such as basic UI design, icons etc. Forgive my ignorance but say I wanted to create a basic synth app layout complete with knobs, sliders and keys etc., can you create elements or shapes and duplicate and save them as brushes or shapes or something?
Well looks like if I dropb it to peesee then resave the file in photoshop then procreate can load it...
If you mean vectorized premade symbols, there’s a lot of them to drag’n’drop from the symbol library...
Looks like this:
Even if some functionalities still missing in Affinity Designer, almost everything can be done with easy workarounds, for example rubber tool is missing still, but the app has a great way to use the bolean tools to use for the mission...
And, do remember that this is just version 1.0 of the Designer app...
Affinity Designer is really great, but there’s also a really good free vector program called Vectornator. It’s not as robust as Designer but it’s comparable to Graphic for sure.
I’ll just checked in Assembly app in Appstore...
It’s a free download, but, the so called Pro IAP is $35!
So, what’s Pro extension doing that the free doesn’t do?
Yeah it’s great for that, you can save elements as ‘symbols’, which can be re-used, good for knobs. And when you edit the symbol, all the copies update too.
Biggest advantage over pixel apps is vectors are scalable, so there’s no loss of quality if you resize anything.
Thanks guys! I love this forum, it’s full of such awesome people always willing to help.
The ‘symbols’ look exactly like the kind of thing I was after. I was looking up some tutorials and being able to update changes across all symbols is super useful for making iterations of things very easily. That’s probably old news for experienced vector users though.
For anyone interested in making game assets in Affinity Designer this article was quite informative:

@ErrkaPetti The Assembly ‘pro’ update includes 1000+ extra shapes, png, svg export, text etc.
Having enjoyed using Affinity on the iPad this month, it finally nudged me into using my desktop version that I've had for ages.
Been meaning to make an SVG version of my Circle of Fifths (squared
) design as a poster for the past 4 years. It's taken me all 3 days of this weekend but it's come together quite nicely (finally!).
It's gone through so many aesthetic changes with probably more to come, but this is the state at which I'm putting down my pencil for now.
Very nicely done, it looks great!
Are there any noticeable differences between the iPad and desktop versions (workflow or features)?
Wow.
Thanks.
I hadn't used the desktop much but found myself frustrated when trying to recreate on the ipad, some Affinity Tutorials meant for desktop.
These mainly concentrated on dissecting and transformation of Circles, for this project. I was finding that the transformation and rotation required was missing some of the needed desktop mouse gestures that didn't translate well on iPad.
This was just my initial impressions while working on this. I'll probably find a good workflow for the ipad, but something this geometrically strict seemed to need the precision gestures of the desktop.
Do love the ipad app though. It's extremely powerful.
Ha, thanks! (I think!?)
Available on Posters, T-Shirts, Mugs and Toilet Paper soon!
Very tempted. Just one question. How do you add fonts, is it done at a system level or something specific to the app itself?
Super easy. So easy in fact the tutorial video is only 27 seconds....
You can import from Files, Cloud etc...

That makes sense, fine tuning on desktop with a mouse and keyboard is a different experience.
Now I’m going to be obsessing over another app until I eventually give in and press purchase.
A short video from someone that has the workflow in Affinity Designer:
Super easy from inside the app itself (as @SpookyZoo said).
But, I use an app called Anyfont to install a lot of intrested fonts... Good shit!
@ErrkaPetti A quick prototype put together in 5 minutes in Assembly “free version” (plus a filter on top). Give it a try, it’s a very streamlined and smart app.
