I can't wait til you guys over at Affinity are able to implement the most bad-ass arrow  tool, so this thread can die already. I mean this thing better not only point, but it better be so dynamic when people use it they can't help but to cry because it so damn beautiful!
 
I want Tony to deliver a Keynote address in Steve Jobs attire. I would like  Tony to tell use this arrow tool is the "best one yet" I want him to tell us how amazing it is and how the competitors can't touch Affinity's proprietory arrow creation technology. When Tony unveils the demo I want to see white doves let out into the ski and confetti dropping from the heavens!
 
When everyone salivating and crying, hit them with the 5 dollar price hike for the arrow tool plugin it only seems right (says the guy waiting 4-5 weeks for his apple pencil) They will bitch and moan, but they will buy and like it. lol

It's a shame!
 
I bought Affinity Designer just the first day it was released at AppleStore. An awesome program with a nasty surprise: no arrowheads. It was my fault not to check for this feature... I just couldn't conceive a "design" program without it, so I didn't check! I'm not in the "artist" side. I need Designer for "technical" illustration and I have to draw lots and lots of arrowheads in my work. In my case, no arrowheads implies no use for Designer.
 
As arrowheads were in the todo list, I considered it was "fair" enough to launch the initial release without them. I didn't bother too when arrow heads did not appeared in next releases. A question of developer's priorities... fair enough! And I trusted them when they stated in the forums that implementing arrowheads was in their minds.
 
But now is version 1.5 and still no arrowheads. Arrowheads are so basic for technical workflow that I consider such delay absolutely unfair. Affinity should have CLEARLY stated from the beginning that Designer would remain subpar in the "technical" field for long!
 
Now, I really regret to have bought that application. It's a shame!

+1 for arrowheads. I've never encountered illustrative software that doesn't support them – it's essential for people in a wide variety of fields, e.g. architecture, engineering, science, maths etc. I'd use AD for everything, but the lack of arrowheads and a poor implementation of dashed lines forces me elsewhere all the time. It's a shame, because AD otherwise has great tools and sensible workflow.
 
And please don't repeat the mistake you've made with dashes. We need to make collections of both dashes and arrows that can be independently applied to different sets of paths. Styles in AD grab everything – line weight, colours, fills etc. I frequently need to change just one thing in a selection, e.g. the dash or the arrowhead, but I don't want all the other properties to change too. And trying to replicate the same dash/arrow manually over and over is a really bad workflow.
 
Please allow the user to capture and reuse a dash or arrowhead independent of other style characteristics.
