RYOUTA Kira a cool developer has did something I’m not exactly excited about. Several of his apps have an update with the update notes saying “this product became deprecated and has been renamed”
And in the App Store description, it says “this is a deprecated product get KQ Dixie 26 instead, if you bought this app recently, you can request a refund”
I mean, why not just have a bundle to upgrade to the new versions? I’m guessing iOS 26 is at least playing a part in this decision…?
All the apps listed below now have Legacy in the name. So far the Legacy apps with this App Store information are….
KQ Dixie
KQ Minisynth
KQ Unitone
KQ Sampei
The KQ 26 apps are not available at the moment.
What are your thoughts? Maybe this is thread worthy.
Also should I update these? They should still work fine, right? over time they will get less and less attention, correct?
Yeah this is a definite topic for discussion…I love KQ Dixie too
Probably worth emailing him to get clarity on why this was done and whether the legacy apps will still get updates to keep them functional. I have a feeling he probably wouldn't want to shaft people and destroy his reputation, this has likely never been about money for him, based on the low prices and niche nature of most of his apps.
Why does this worries me a LOT. I payed for both, Photo and Designer, and now it’s going to be free. Website looks different now as well, some announcement that ‘creative freedom is coming’.. Nothing is free in this world, they need to earn money one way or the other. Is there a subscription nightmare on the corner? We will see..
Looks like the Affinity Suite is being trashed. Either a subscription based V3, or completely replaced by a Canva version.
Message there forum: ‘On October 6 2025, we’ll be transitioning the forums to read-only mode.‘
Lots of fear on the Affinity Reddit sub.
Could it be, Affinity Suite 26?
Yep. I purchased the V2 suite a year or so ago, after they stopped updating V1. My concern (and a lot of others) is V2 requires an online license check, so if they replace Affinity with a Canva version (Canva bought them out a couple of years ago) the activation server might not be retained.
best case scenario is V2 doesn't get updates, but keeps working, and is replaced by a new V3. But I don't think that will be the case, and shutting down the forum suggests they're expecting a lot of flak from existing users.
I'll stay with the 'old KQ ones' until further clarification.
'Relabeling' and republishing existing apps with zero new functionality and expecting us to repay for them again is a new low in my book...
And I'm quite sure the 'new' apps don't use the same Bundle IDs as the old apps so one is more or less forced to keep both apps installed to keep existing projects working...
I get it income needs to be generated somehow in order to maintain the apps but simply labeling them *26 can give an indication of an upcoming yearly paid update-cycle...
I sense an upcoming trend of yearly paid app updates and if this 'plague' infects the majority of apps I'm out...
I've emailed him to ask for a clarification
Hello,
I understand your concern. If the legacy apps works well in the iOS/iPadOS "27", you can still use those.
Apple has stated that apps not adopting "Scene feature" will become unusable in next year's update, leading to this situation.
If true, many older apps are expected to become unusable in iOS 27.
The new apps are already released in my region.
The lost functions in the KQ 26 are:
You can safely migrate to the "26" version if you don't use those functions. The app preferences and Audio Unit ID are common.
Some issues might occur if you use the both versions simultaneously.
For those who have purchased the older versions, I will prepare update bundles. (Not released yet)
The following prices are in the case if you purchased them at the current price.
KQ MiniSynth Update Bundle: $11.99 - $9.99 = $2.00
KQ Dixie Update Bundle: $10.99 - $8.99 = $2.00
KQ Unotone Update Bundle: $7.99 - $5.99 = $2.00
KQ Sampei Update Bundle: $11.99 - $9.99 = $2.00
Thank you very much for chiming in!
Now here’s a real opportunity for a startup product. Affinity going the way of Adobe, is the writing everyone saw on the wall, when it got bought out by Canva.
Thank You for the clarification, much appreciated!
Nice that the Unit ID is the same as for the previous apps, this makes transition a lot smoother.
Not bundle ID, but audio component IDs are same.
So I can migrate smoothly.
Serif did promise that there would always be a one time purchase option after the Canva takeover…
https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/press/newsroom/affinity-and-canva-pledge/
Of course, they might have decided not to honour that previous promise! So weird if so - why do people use Affinity: because, unlike Photoshop, it’s a one time purchase. Giving up your USP would be a very strange decision.
The ‘Creative freedom is coming’ announcement for some reason makes me think that there’s a web based version 3 on the horizon but I really hope that’s not the case.
Ah shucks, I missed it.
. I buy apps with gift cards and didn’t have a chance to pick one up yesterday.
Don't panic - they've migrated to Discord. 2800+ members so far and very little flak
If you’re an Affinity owner, I’d say download everything quick! This looks ominous. No purchases are possible, product pages are gone. I fear Canva might finally have flexed their muscle and turned Affinity Suite into a subscription product which was always so against the Affinity philosophy.
I could be wrong ..l we’ll find out on the 30th October.
Nope, you're absolutely correct. I've re-downloaded my installers for V2 (direct from my Affinity account - they've removed the Mac Store versions), but the issue is they require an online license check, so we're at the mercy of Canva as to whether they keep the server online and we can continue using our purchases.
Fortunately I have V1 on a few older devices which will work offline, but as it was purchased from the Mac Store, I've no way of installing it on new devices.
This all sounds sad. I've been a Adobe loyal since the mid-90s but clashed with them some months ago and removed all their stuff. It hurt as Photoshop is the one app I truly know. So anyway, this felt like a godsend and now you telling me all this shite, guess happiness is just a hoax 😀 I do own V1 of photo but uninstalled it long ago, guess we'll see where this ends up then. I installed and registered both Photo and Designer and bought them both for 0.00 Yeah, that can't be right...
@Pxlhg There is also Affinity Publisher at $0.00, do not forget to purchase that app as well.
I know but I have no interest in it and it's another 1.75 Gb my drive can do without. Maybe I should register it and delete it, we'll see. Thanks anyway.
Thanks for this! Got them all.
****> @dakti said:
Do you think the apps on iPad are given away for free because Affinity decided so, or is it an accidental mistake? Affinity deleted apps from MacOS AppStore, so why they did not deleted it from iPadOS AppStore, but give away?
Who knows but at least get them and install them.
A V3 all-in-one, one-off purchase, with a Canva bolt-on opional monthly sub would be the least worse-case scenario for me. But it's a hard sell for existing users since V2 is only a couple of years old, still buggy, and there was hardly any new features from V1.
If they don't switch off the server to stop us opening V2 I'll carry on using that. If not I've reinstalled V1 as it doesn't require an online license check. But I won't be buying V3 or a Canva sub.
