[Presentation Mode for Publisher]

The app (v1/v2) already has a page Preview Mode, but it's not in the sense of a full screen presentation mode here as it's well known from dedicated presentation software and the like.

Clicking preview mode and just hiding guides but not the full interface... is just hiding guides. Hopefully, this will be implemented in the future.

[Affinity Publisher V2 - Constantly Crashing]

I got the same crashes. Mostly when pressing the synchronize chapters in a book. So I quit using the book feature and just made pages. I spent 2 days trying to redo it every time it crashed I had to save every 5 minutes and close the app to keep my changes...but I got fed up and just made it into pages instead of using the book feature. I'm also a new user of Affinity as well. A bit disappointed.

 

Aside from that, there is no full-screen preview like in InDesign (shift+w), and masters duplicate themselves every time I sync books (ending up with dozens of master pages).

 

I almost pushed my company to switch over to Affinity instead of Adobe because it is more cost-efficient...

Currently, my stand is a big no. It took me almost 2 days trying to go around fixes, crashes, and limitations that I could have done in 2 hours in InDesign.

Just hoping since it's just version 2, and could be unfair to complain to Adobe's apps at version 12 or something...but still a very unsatisfactory start for me.

[Presentation Mode for Publisher]

I'm a new user since Adobe pulled out Pantone and removed the Adobe library for non-enterprise users...I jumped ship. Content so far.

But this feature "preview" full screen without any other tools, guides, etc. is a must. Exporting it every time just to preview... by definition is not a PREview. 

Just bought the full suite too... it may not be a dealbreaker for most, but it is an inconvenience that has already been done by a competitor for years. And introducing it to other artists, that comes up a lot and I can see their faces wince in pain and just stop thinking of trying it out.
