dbryant08 Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 It's great news that Affiinity is receiving greater visibility and popularity. Purchasing your software has given me a greater sense of freedom and I thank you for that. Since you've now moved towards the iPad platform, will you also be working towards developing your software on Android? If so, do you have a projected timeline? I do most of my work from PC but when traveling I'm always on my Android. Hope to hear good news! Thank you. Quote

The very diverse nature of Android hardware and software infrastructure would make testing of such a complex software nigh on impossible. Personally I can’t see it ever making it to Android.

Kat Reed Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Surely, if Serif are touting Affinity as an Adobe replacement, an Android version would be sensible as Adobe have apps for Android? Quote

But the Adobe apps for the iPad are cut down apps in comparison to Affinity which is desktop class and performance on iPad. Android can’t at the moment deliver such performance.

Martin_1 Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 I'd buy an Android version. Androids market share is also way way WAY bigger than Apple's. So from a business viewpoint creating the apps for Android would be a good thing. Quote
Reddog777 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 My Samsung Tab S6 has plenty of power - 8 GB Ram https://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Apple-iPad-Pro-11-inch,Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S6/phones/11034,11204 Quote
Martin_1 Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Same goes for my Huawei tablet. It's equal to the iPad Pro 11 inch. It can run anything without any issues. So Affinity Designer shouldn't be any issue at all. Quote

Personally I can’t see it ever making it to Android. "Impossible"??? Lightroom is on Android. Video editing software like PowerDirector is on Android. Video recording software like FilmicPro is on Android. I'm not sure how Affinity is any more complex than these...or video games. Interestingly, On1 is developing a mobile version for both Android and iOS that will be out in June. It will sync up with the desktop versions. They managed to figure it out, too.

So, the chance to see Serif Labs release version of Photo/Designer/Publisher is almost zero... Just like @DM1 said, buy yourself a real tablet (iPad Pro) if you wish to run Pro software on a tablet... Piracy is a bigger problem on Windows and Mac, but they thrive. Besides people don't tend to pirate things that are reasonably priced. Fragmentation was an issue maybe 5 years ago. The latest versions of Android will be able to run this. Fragmentation happens with hardware reliant features, like a camera app trying to work with every manufacturers proprietary cameras. This software would rely on OS integration, not manufacturer specific hardware. I'd suggest that if YOU want to properly run pro software on a tablet, get a Microsoft Surface Pro over an iPad Pro. Are we still doing the Apple superiority condescending "advice" to people? Geesh. Quote
dalydose Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 On1 is going to make a mobile version of their app that syncs with their desktop versions. I'd love it if Affinity could do this as well. Quote
Tunda Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Is there any new information? I am currently using the trial version of Affinitiy on the PC and would only buy it if it comes out for android soon. The marketshare of android tablets is also increasing more and more and is ahead of apple in many ways...this would be a smart move for serif... Quote
Nihal_ish Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Samsung is the only company making great android tablets with stylus support (S Pen is faster than apple pencil) so it makes sense to bring affinity to Samsung like recently clipstudio paint did. Quote

If Samsug the only company, then it is a small market for additional users, and not worth Serif's time to develop a completely new implementation of the Affinity products focused on that small set of users.

What about a kickstarter campaign, if you are not sure if it's worth your time? it seems like you are supporting apple's monopoly on tablet market. Quote

I am not supporting anything except Serif's right to choose what they want to do, and they have made it clear that they are not interested in Android at this time, nor in Kickstarter campaigns (see the Linux topics).
