Is it free.?

That's so cool! I nearly jumped of my seat when I saw your video (and the fact that finally Designer is out for the iPad) pop up... . Also thanks for the Designer Course... I bought it when it came out, to refresh my somewhat limited experience with vectors (and my nonexistent experience with Affinity Designer). Now that it's out for the iPad my interest has practically doubled. I'm really excited! Also, Procreate 4.1 is a really, really strong release. I'm super impressed with how they implemented the new features and with how well they work.

Been using it for only about 15 minutes and already I think it’s amazing. It’s done everything I wanted it to do(like expanding elements from its center, which apparently is a lot more difficult to implement than you would think), and intuitive to do for the UI. It also has SLICES, which is a godsend for web design.

Woooow, Procreate 4.1 and now this.... It feels like Christmas! 😍

Been into photography and editing for some years now but only recently started on digital art a couple of weeks back when I got an iPad Pro and pencil. Your enthusiasm for the subject when watching reviews prior to buying it got me interested, and your enthusiasm for Designer convinced to buy it despite never having used a vector art program before lol. This does look like a lot of fun :)

Awesome updates dude. I get so happy when I see a notification from you. Affinity designer looks amazing. Exactly the Application I have been waiting for to transfer my learning curve to a more vector base. Keep us updated on the App based course. Peace.

I am excited. Has been a few years since i have done any serious designing. All the innovations and improvements for designers on the mobile platforms is reeling me back in...

Hello Brad! I'm playing with Affinity Designer for a few days and IMHO is SUPER AMAZING!!! Ok, it's still young and not completely bug free, but I think that it's really a game changer, a killer App. The missing link between Procreate (or Artstudio Pro) and Affinity Photo. I already know more than someone that is buying the iPad Pro only because now it can run Affinity Designer!

So excited to finally see this come out!!! thanks for the great video Brad, always fun to watch!

Great short intro to the BEST vector drawing app for the iPad Pro in the market. FINALLY a professional level drawing/designing/vector app for the iPad Pro. Been waiting a while for developers to take the iPad seriously and finally, with Affinity products, we are there. Looking forward to more tutorials, because this interface is indeed quite different - maybe even better!

Have been happy that this is out after I bought Adonit Snap for my 2017 iPad. I am new to Affinity and this is the first step of my Affinity Revolution.

I always get excited when you get excited about a product

I’ve just got this app, and am learning how to use it. I have used Serif software for many years and have never faulted it! Not only does it do everything you want it to do, but it is a fraction of the cost of the other high-end apps that it replicates without any problems. Thanks for sharing this great overview, and I hope it encourages people to get the app.

finally we gonna have a pro level up for illustrations and design on the iPad that can handle vectore shape and text!! :)

Honestly I say make the review while you’re so excited! There’s nothing wrong with displaying that excitement in a review tbh When you do make a full blown review, could you go into more detail about the pixel tools.

OMG Finally !!!! i've been waiting forever!!! mann what a nice DAY !!! the new update of procreate is finally out !! and Affinity Designer As well ! XD it's can go good more than that yeahhhy !!! Thanks for the Video BTW ! i always wait ur news :D about everything !♥ u are the best !! we will be waiting for ur next video about procreate's new update ! :D i am very excited to use both of them :D

Men, you are the best. I was confused about to star to drawing again, but, be cause of your videos I get an iPad Pro and start to make digital drawing.👌🏾 I really like your videos, and Pls make the course of Affinity Designer for iPad, I will buy it🙌🏾

Freaking finally! I've been waiting for this forever!

Yeeeessss I’ve been waiting for this I can finally fully work on my iPad since I mostly work on Affinity designer already!

I think I would buy your iPad course if you decide to make one. I have never used a vector based drawing program and I’d like to learn how to. Only I can’t be bothered with a desktop version. I love my iPad too much. 😍😍😍😁😁😁

Wow this is impressive looking. So much attention to detail in the interface!

Awesome! I asked about this yesterday and here’s my answer!

whoa you seem sooo excited hahaha, also the app looks amazing and wow so many features!! Definitely will try this app too once i got an ipad

thx for the great news, excited !!! Waiting for the new iPad pro 3 , it should power up the on-the-go solution to a next level.

The text along a curved line feature is so much easier in Affinity Designer than any other ipad drawing app I’ve ever used. So awesome.

Omg, first Procreate 4.1 and now this! So happy I bought the Ipad 2018 and Apple Pencil!!!! 😍😍😍😀😀😀

I too recently bought the IPad 2018 about a week ago as an amateur artist (very amateur lol), and it is absolutely amazing! There is no other drawing tablet for this price that are nearly this amazing to use! Procreate and the Apple Pencil as a combo are so wonderful to draw with, and it runs so well with very little lag or parallax. The screen is the perfect size (if you’ve used the iPad Pro or another larger drawing tablet it might seem a little small, but it is by no means crammed, but it is perfect for me in my opinion). Definitely worth it in my opinion, and this is coming from a broke teenager, so I make my purchases carefully! If it wasn’t worth it I would have returned it already! 😂

Awesome video, thanks ! You made me download the app on my Ipad. And loved it so much that I wanted to download it on my mac as well. I was so surprised I didn't have to pay for the desktop version since I already paid for the Ipad version !

I’ve been waiting for this, excellent!

Also, tapping and dragging on the studio icon to resize is a great hidden shortcut feature I stumbled across!

Would definitely love if you made tutorials for the iPad version, especially for us beginners. Thanks so much!

Purchased within a hearbeat as I received the announcement email. The desktop version served me very very well for the past year.

AND SOLD! Thank you for yet another fantastic review!

Brought this as soon as it came out. I have the desktop apps and I have Affinity Photo for the iPad. I’ve even cancelled my Adobe subscription because of these apps. And I got say this on the iPad is awesome :)

As I promised on your other video, I bought the app :D Ty for the recommendation!

Serif really showed the potential of the great iPad, the second time already. They managed to get their full featured professional applications onto the iPad and still optimize it for the screen size and touch interactions really well, which is key. Let me explain something before I come to my final point about Affinity at the end of my comment: I think Apple is doing amazing with iPad and it is designed with other ideas in mind than computers, it‘s supposed to be interacted with in a different way, which many people don‘t quite get. It’s a device from the ground up designed to be portable, intuitive to use via touch screen and many things are different from what they are on computers. And that‘s intentionally and shouldn‘t be changed. While many people want Apple to make the iPad more similar to computers with things like mouse support, windowed apps, a whole file system with finder or even run macOS on it, I really appreciate the approach Apple is taking and the way they‘re designing a new platform. And every year they’re carefully and thoughtfully bringing in new features, like the dock, that brings the iPad’s capabilities closer to computers, while still maintaining their approach. The iPad‘s form factor has many advantages, compared to a traditional laptop: - The main advantage is, that it‘s one single device which is really portable and doesn‘t rely on anything like a keyboard and mouse, - you can literally pull it out of your bag and start using it, - you don‘t even need a table or your lap to get done some simple things and - many tasks are way more intuitive to use on a properly designed touch interface. And that the iPad is exclusively designed the way it is and doesn‘t also support mouses or tries to be more than an actual tablet, results in software being perfectly optimized for a great touch screen experience. And that is KEY for making the things I mentioned in the list actually work. Microsoft praises their full desktop OS and full desktop applications on their convertibles, but those programs are a nightmare to use on a touch screen, especially when the screen is as small as 10 inches. And because those convertibles are trying hard to be a tablet even though the software isn‘t made for it at all, they end up being a worse laptop as well. So it‘s basically a lose lose situation in most cases. Those devices are great for some people, but can‘t compete with the iPad as a tablet, not at all. And now to my final point: Serif, with Affinity Photo and Designer, showed that such a device, a device designed for a different kind of interaction which is more simple and intuitive, can indeed run really powerful software that is actually optimized for an intuitive touch experience. And that‘s AWESOME! The iPad with those apps is now super unique and no other device can compete. The iPad doesn‘t replace a computer, and Apple even said that they will be continuing the macOS system as they would be without the iPad! But the iPad can replace a computer for CERTAIN taskst which it is well designed for and in some cases is even better suited for. Things like drawing, illustrating, doing graphic design, even editing photos, are all professional tasks where the iPad shines with it‘s form factor, touch interactions and Apple Pencil. **And software that is designed for it from the ground up was key for all that!!!**

sensoriussupremus Porting some huge professional programs sounds easy but isn’t. I could well imagine that they have plans for it or are even working on it. But such complex applications take lots of time to plan, design and finally develop, easily multiple years. So IF they are planing it or even already designing/developing it, it could still take years for a public release. And Apple would not tease any work in progress so we really can just wait and see. On top of that, professional video editing software is even way more complex than photo editing software. We’ve seen how much time it took for professional photo editing software to come to the iPad, Serif worked on the iPad versions of their software for some years, so video editing software will at least take another couple of years to be more advanced than something like LumaFusion. You should also keep in mind that computers exist since decades and all those professional programs we nowadays use on them (Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Premier Pro, ...) all took many many years to develop, evolve and improve, for them to be at a level they are today. And iPad is still quite a new platform compared to computers. And porting a computer software to iPad is not easy at all, since the platform is really different, as I explained in my comment. The WHOLE interface has to be rethought, pretty much like Serif had to do it, but for video editing it’s just even more complex. The iPad and its iOS are evolving, the applications for it as well. And we’re going to see more and more on it in the next few years, hopefully. And as a final note, Apple is making an amazing platform and wants third party developers to do amazing things on it. We’ve seen how much Apple pushes developers, and I could well imagine that they’re NOT going to do something like Final Cup Pro for iPad but some amazing third party developers will make something amazing. We already have LumaFusion which is the most powerful mobile video editing software. And Serif, who exist for quite some time already, started out with their Affinity product line in 2014 I think (and it’s what really made them popular) and did some huge stuff within the last 4 years, and we’ll see many other great teams doing amazing stuff for iPad. We can expect a lot of professional software to come to the iPad, but we have to give it some time. :)

Please make an iPad version of the course!

AWESOME! I'll be so up for an ipad AD course!

So....only 'low down' is... that it IS a good tablet app, adapted to the device... instead of those desktop clones... But I see your issue with the course.... Anyway, this gives you a chance of bumping both the desktop and the ipad version of the tutorial, if you produce an ipad oriented version as an extra... I'd call that an extra business opportunity + refresh/bump of the desktop tut sells. And u explain really well, so, kind of sells are expected.

I’m running to the App Store, I’m so pumped🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽

Hi Brad, I just wanted to tell you I happened to catch this video of yours and finally started paying attention to Affinity software. All I can say is I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. Designer and Affinity Photo are absolutely brilliant. So brilliant in fact that I am contemplating switching to their software entirely from Adobe‘s. I have used Adobe software ever since I have been a designer. It’s great stuff as we all know, but Affinitys ability to work across all my devices is a huge development. Essentially, a game changer. My question to you is, I’m more than willing to use Affinity photo for my photographic image based work. The only missing link for me is what is the best approach for dealing with my photography shoots. I am heavily invested in Adobe light room. What would you recommend as an alternative to light room if I decide to no longer subscribe to Adobe creative cloud? I also wanted to mention, that I think you are really good at what you do. Your instructional videos are very informative and engaging. Well done!

Great Video. It's awesome to have this powerful Program on a iPad. I think it will change my workflow a lot.

Hey Brad, for the course I think you don't need to re-do the entire work. Affinity just makes a series of video-tutorials that explain the interface and the various functionality of the app. It's not a course, it's just an introduction tutorial, but if a user watch it before watch your course it will not be hard at all to follow you

Amazed by the gestures advantages in this app (from what I see in the video, I don't have an iPad)

Love the app. I was watching your prelaunch videos on it when it dropped yesterday

Cool video. Awesome app! Grabbing it now. My iPad Pro is smiling 😉

Oh dear. I'm really not a big apple fan (let's just leave it at that for now) but lately I get tempted more and more to get an iPad Pro as there are not many (good) alternatives around and the available apps on iOS are just killer. And with this new video you tempting me even more. (I'm a huge Affinity Fan) Thanks a lot *sigh!*. ;-)

So, now that you have Designer, Photo and Procreate, why do you still need Astropad. I mean, I’ve even Kickstarted Astropad Luna, and even have one of the prototypes plugged into the back of my Mac, but I really can’t see myself using it, like, ever?!

Yeah, it's kind of a shame - I was completely over the moon about the prospect of Astropad - it helped me stop drooling over the massive Cintiqs! But when I finally got around to using it, I quickly realised that I didn't really want or need it - I really wanted to need it, but I just didn't! Picking up an iPad and scribbling in Procreate is exactly 0.0001% of the effort it takes to get something like Astropad up and running, and then you have to sit at your desk - ugh! I think the Astro guys are doing an amazing job, and still think it's a great product, but unfortunately, for me at least, it's solving a problem that I just don't have :l Is it weird that I still want to have the problem?

Sounds like exactly what I'm after - when do you think you'll have a course on Affinity Designer for iPad? Can't wait! I was going to invest in a Wacom Mobile Studio, but if all I have to do is buy a new app - Hooray! I've been a PS and AI die hard for years, and was considering learning Affinity Designer to see how it compared, but this is has just sped up that decision!

Thanks Brad! More of these video on iPad pro please🙏🏾

I can’t wait for your class on this.

Please make a course for iPad :D

I bought designer when I got the email this morning and was hoping you would do a video.

Great video as always and please make also an iPad version of your course!!

Buttery smooth

Serif is my favorite company as of a week ago. Have both Win and Mac desktop versions and the iOS app... as well as that book on your desk. ;) Next up: Affinity Publisher. i will buy it, just because Serif deserves it and their software makes me want to work on projects more. Love it.

How does vector and raster relate in this app? For example, if one is using a vector program, how does the raster come into play? Also, can you export the raster part as vector? Thanks. Nice video!

Hey Brad, thank you for your video. Incredible work 👍🏾 What do you think for iPad Air 2 and ADONIT Pixel? Because it’s little expensive for an app and I want to be sure it’s okay before my purchase 🙁

I bought it as soon as I got their email. This and procreate really put the ‘Pro’ in the iPad Pro!

Hey Brad, thanks for the vid - have been waiting for this to come out for a while and have enjoyed playing on it so far. I’m not familiar with the desktop version, but do you know of a way on the iPad version to reset a single node handle? As opposed to just dragging the handle back to the node which is a little inaccurate. In Illustrator the equivalent would be clicking on a handle using the convert point tool. Thank you, enjoyed the vid!

Viewed this because I just bought the iPad version. Please make more iPad specific stuff.

Hey thanks you so much for your review. Thanks to you I felt really comfortable buy my first iPad EVER! Any way, *Question those affinity designer and procreate work with the wacom fine line Stylus?

YAY! I am 670... Great video. I have never used Affinity Designer may have to try it out and do my own video, too.

Hey, man. Thanks for your helpful videos! Procreate just released an update of it, can you do a demo for the new updates? Thank you.

Hi Brad, nice video. Could you check the app, is there ‘recolor artwork’ feature like in adobe illustrator? Because that feature always help a lot when design the alternate color.

If I ever get an iPad id be getting this for sure

Brad, I just LOVE all your videos! In the first one that I saw I had to subscribe :) I have a question though: Do you know if affinity files created on Windows PC can be opened on the Ipad Pro and vice versa? Thank you ♥

I was so excited about Affinity Designer on the iPad that I bought it even though I have the iPad Air which is not supported 😩 At least I got the discounted price.

Hi brad, how can I import brushes in designer for ipad? Tapping on import brushes the AFBRUSHES files aren’t avaible.. is this a bug? Please help me I bought a brush set for 8$ and it’s a little bit frustrating

This is crazyyyyyyyy ....take my money Affinity!!

I have instantly bought this app as the email was in my inbox :-D

Wow please do more videos!!!

Well ok, this video answered my question on one of your 2016 videos :D

Hey brad can u make more videos about affinity designer... wanna know this in much more details

Great video, Brad. Have you tried Affinity Designer on the 6th gen iPad? Can't afford a Pro but may get one of those for designing on the go. Thanks.

Man, Brad - I’d take your course if you’re gonna do one for the iPad Pro! I could just watch it on the Surface while working on the iPad!

That's amazing! Brad please do that udemy course, you are a fun teacher and I will love to have you teaching me that. PS: can you add in the middle of de course how to: mask one shape A with a shape B, where the shape A can be visible inside the shape B but not outside ( by example it's an easy way to make shadow by duplicating the shape, moving it and making it darker inside the same shape) Thx!

You are best! Thanks for info!!!

So have you decided if you are going to make a course for the iPad version? I'm new to Affinity Designer and really need some help. Your videos are great!

Photoshop is comming to the ipad in 2019 so I guess Adobe will make somthining simmilar to this app that you showed. Also tomorrow the new ipad will be announced! I will combine it with the app that you just showed and procreate!

Does it have a ‘wire frame’ mode?.... like the 'View > Outline' in the desktop version. Thanks.

Hey Brad, just curious, are you still using a matte screen protector on your iPad Pro? Also, are you importing you AD artwork into Animate CC to animate it? If so, can you explain how you do it (i.e. format, layers)?

Awesome app, a real dreamcometrue. 🎉 I found a missing feature tho, The Global Color setting 😥

Does this come with a smooth line enhancement like sketchbook

ok I'm sold, I'm getting an iPad. ive been waiting for a good vector app for the ipad before i bought one. I'm currently a student studying graphic design, and even though we have to learn how to use the adobe software for uni, it can get pretty expensive. I love vector art but rarely find myself sitting at my desk to draw something on illustrator, because its just not that comfortable. now i can sit in bed and draw/design things!

Got my first iPad 3 weeks ago. Worth every penny. I work much faster. I knew the new one was coming out in November, but couldn't wait (!!). (also, I don't have 1500 bucks laying around (including new Apple pencil, apple care, and ridiculous taxes). I understand that Photoshop (coming out in 2019) for iPad will work on my 2017/18 model, but will be limited in features, according to the person I spoke to at the Apple store yesterday.. But for what I do, I think AD will be plenty. Probably can't give up Illustrator, though.

This is all awesome and I’m loving the IPad Pro with Affinity Designer. I just did a black and white logo in half the time it would normally take me. A few problems though , there’s no pathfinder tools like AI, no shape building that I can find, any work around? And how the heck do I save a native file to open in the desktop Affinity Designer? Please help me

I don't have an iPad in general only an SE so what is that thing on the top of your Apple Pencil. Do you take that part off to charge it and that's so you don't list it?

Is it worth to go for affinity designer instead of vectornator?

I wold love to see an iPad tutorial :)

Not making the iPad course is not an option! I’m actually waiting for it 😀

Is there any way you can erase a line or part of a line while you're drawing without going to the Pixel Persona?

Great video! Thank you!

Thanks man, now I need Affinity besides adobe products...

Brad, Please make an Affinity Designer class for the iPad!

can you use a normal digital pencil? and if so, which one do you recommend?
