I'd like to upvote this feature: automatic 2-way cloud sync between iPad and desktop would be great.
Amazing mobile app btw. I'm switching from the "Graphic" app, but Designer on iPad is next level.

Of course, I've moved this thread to our feature requests section of the forums so our devs know it's still an anticipated feature
We appreciate it! Our customers have made us the great company we are today and I'm more than proud to be a part of that community.
Thank you - I'll pass your kind comments through to our documentation & tutorial team

Hi RyanH!
Unfortunately this is expected behaviour, you'll need to close the file in Designer iPad and re-open it from cloud after your changes have been made on your Mac, as the file will not automatically update.
This is a feature our devs want to include in the future so hopefully it'll be possible in a future update  

Hi Dan,
Thank you, I was leaning toward that it was expected behavior after searching the help, and not seeing anything about it, but just wanted to clarify, thank you! 
Also nice to hear that it’s something that might be included in the future!
 
I’m sure you guys hear it all the time, but it’s such a great thing to know that Serif/Affinity has real conversations, etc with their customers  
Forgot to mention that I love the tutorial videos as well. I always look there (and the help) if I don’t know about how a tool or feature works— very much appreciated!

Hi everyone,
 
We just thought it would be helpful to offer a thread that explained why things may seem quiet at present with respect to Beta releases and new features...
 
 
We have two active code branches at present, one is the bug fix branch from the App Store version (this is where the current 1.4 Betas are built from), the other is our development branch that contains all the new features. At present we have to make sure that our launched Beta versions fix the issues that customers may be encountering, without introducing any other side-effects. This is so that we can be in a position where we know the App Store version is dependable and that customers will be getting a good experience.
 
As soon as we have tested the 1.4.2 Beta thoroughly it will be uploaded to the App Store and will become the 1.4.2 App Store version. We do not expect this to be a lengthy process, but it will not be immediate as it requires a certain amount of testing before we can responsibly push it as an update.
 
Once this has happened we will be able to start building from our development branch and produce a 1.5 Beta for you. The development branch contains a large number of new features already, but we won't make them visible until they have reached the standard you would expect, so we're not going to comment on what those features will be until we know we can share them with you.
 
We hope that makes sense and clears up any queries, if you have any comments then please feel free to post them.
 
Thanks,
Matt

Great, thanks! But ... to get back to the topic ...  ;) ... I am still feeling the GUI of Affinity Designer is to dark ...  :(

Yosemite style...mockup
 
Obviously less than half done but you get the idea :)
 

Awesome stokerg!
 
I will add that to the Feature Requests!
