Hi, After getting frustrated with 10-years old version of Photoshop I still own, and missing some features from Pixelmator, I decided to give Affinity a spin. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a trial on your website, only a purchase link to the Mac App Store. I didn't like the idea of spending 50€ on software I have never seen, but I decided to take the plunge. The software is very impressive, but after few hours I got slightly frustrated with minor details. I honestly don't blame you guys for it, as they're mostly related to my own habits from Photoshop, Pixelmator and Sketch. I mean things like cutting selections, editing existing text layer (it's turned into curves, after committing with Cmd+Enter?), lack of direct transforms on selection – all possible with Affinity, but working slightly differently than in other apps. Seriously, it's not you, it's me – I'm just too used to shortcuts from other apps, so I decided it's best if I return it, and keep using programs I'm familiar with, for productivity sake. Unfortunately, I bought the software from the Mac App Store and Apple sent me a message just after the purchase:
In other words, I can't return it. I'm now left with a piece of software I won't use, and 50 euros less in my bank account... Only AFTER all of this I came up with the idea of googling up a trial version... and guess what, I found this! https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/signup/trial/photo/ PLEASE, link to the above page on Affinity website. It will save others from frustration and wasted money. I'm a software developer myself, and I can live with giving 50 bucks to an indie company, especially if they made a good product. But given that the only way to purchase your software on Mac is via Apple's awful store (and, at least in my case, no way to get a refund), offering a trial version in a clear way would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers
