Affinity photo for iPad Pro crashes all the time

[Thodoros 0]

Hi there, it’s been now two weeks that I’ve purchased the Affinity Photo for my Mac and iPad Pro . Although the desktop version is doing well I have many problems in the iPad version. When I’m working in more than 20 layers, then it becomes extremely slow, it crashes and it does not saves my work. When I try to merge two layers it takes forever. Now I’m working to a project that has about 25 layers and I can not continue working because it does not saves my work. Is anything I can do?

Which iPad Pro are you using and how much space do you have free? There have been a few people on YouTube that have had issues like yours and the reason is that they have almost no free space on their iPads.

I have the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) with 1 TB,  so I don’t think it’s a matter of space. I realized that when a project begins to be more demanding (working with with more than 40-50 layers) the Affinity Photo does not respond well. It freezes and sometimes crashes. Also when I try to merge two layers it takes for ever (almost two minutes to merge !!). This is happening only to the iPad version, the Mac desktop works just fine.
