Thank you for this! Affinity can be used on the external display!

I am also very interested in this. Stage Manager is a requirement to make real use of the external display, and being unable to use the Affinity suite in this set up keeps me from using the whole suite more fully. Affinity in Stage Manager is the last piece in a fully iPad workflow. WIll pay again for the privilege.

Greetings, under iPad OS 16 (betas) when using an external display, at this time Affinity Photo is locked to “portrait” 3x4 format. It would be most useful to have support of the Affinity suite in full screen when iPad OS 16 releases this fall. I very much enjoy using Affinity Photo on my iPad pro, and even more so with the introduction of external display support with iPadOS 16. I would entertain paying a fee for the feature. P.S. In more typical desktop environs I am a Wacom tablet-user and would be very interested in having the ability to mimic a graphics tablet with Affinity; with the iPad serving as the tablet and Photos large as life on the external display. This would be another cost-worthy feature. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to say yes, you can. I've been using iFont on the iPad. This uses system profiles to plug the fonts in to the OS. Fonts then show up in Designer and Photo, as if you had just enabled them in FontBook. The app also has preview and organization tools. My type library lives in iCloud, so i download to ipad and import to iFont as needed to review groups of type. My kit is mostly .otf and old .ttf and iFont works with everything i've fed it so far. iFont is also networked with DaFont, 1001FreeFonts, Fontspace, and Google Fonts. Edit: tagging @AppleGrove, @Dan C, @edwardsson for your interest AppleGrove, to two of your points: this too uses profiles, and i have not seen organization/groups of fonts as viewed within the Affinity apps, but neither does my desktop do this. I rely on iFont to group / tagging and do not find loading the profile cumbersome.

Just a note adding my support for Publisher on iPad. I check in on this every month. Very much looking forward to it! I purchased an M1 iPad Pro and I’m very pleased with the performance of Affinity Photo and Designer. Publisher is the last piece to free me from the desktop. (Well, I’ll also need to convert indesign files for posterity, but we’ll get there!)
