here is some data
based on which I'd say about 500 000 Mac users, maybe some more.

Thanks for describing the steps, its what I meant by asking to show the techinques
 
 
 
 
 
 

Great job. I wish you could show how you did it. techniques

Howdy, 
 
Decided to try my hand at doing an isometric illustration and hope to make it interactive. Plan to use Tumult's Hype to add interactivity, to be able to isolate rooms, make obstructing walls vanish. Very early days but thought maybe some might find it interesting.
 

Beta vs Final:
I guess what you mean here is that, since Affinity Photo might not be 100% stable, is not fair to call it a final product.
Now, if that's the case, I think you came to your conclusion too quickly.
First of all, the stability seems to be a serious issue only for a portion of the users who frequent this forum (I'm one of them). For others, they can either live with that or they don't experience serious stability issues at all.
Second of all, if I got you, your point is since Photo is not 100% there yet, cannot be considered final. When, I ask then, you think it would be OK to consider a product final? There will always be bugs to fix, issues and feature requests (some more urgent than others). Now, if you are or have been an Adobe customer, you definitely know what I'm talking about.
Just yesterday I started working in a studio where they run CC 2017. The bugs with the AE cache, which has been a real pain since the very first CC, it's still there! We are talking about an empire's product, with a first release dated 2011! It's been 6, long years!!
 
Communication
I don't quite get what are your expectations, here. Are you referring to a roadmap with a precise schedule?
As far as the communication goes, I myself have posted and didn't receive answers in a few occasions, I consider that normal. For a software which I bought for $50 (actually $39 with the launch offer), I don't think I can ask for more than what the moderators are already doing on the forum. In fact, as already pointed, the forum is very active.
Also, consider that, perhaps because of the price, a lot of users here are newbie or not trained professionals, which means the forum is filled with questions every day which moderators have to take into account in order to help them to overcome the first obstacles.
As I already posted in other threads, I personally wish there were less irrelevant feature requests (an Affinity Animation/Editing program, basic Timeline for Photo, a Dam and so on so forth), especially considered there are core features and more serious topics to figure out first, but that's just my thought.
 
Lastly, when you get stuck and your post seems to go unnoticed, bump it, chances are someone will chime in and help, or some administrator may notice it.

Then why do you say that the staff prevent customer contact and lack communication when I can see that your three previous topics got a response by staff members and in which you thanked them for the response?

You don't speak for "all" customers, and you have no business presenting yourself as if your opinions are the opinions of every other Affinity customer.

Hey maxen, 
 
This is a known issue. I recommend that you remove an xml file which will retain all your user customizations and brushes. To do this:
  Go to %AppData%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Settings and delete the Commands.xml file. The Pen Tool will then function correctly and will not crash the app. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

After having seen the AD 1.6 announcement of course I’m thrilled and curious. Any idea when you’re going to release it to us beta testers?
