Muna Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I don’t get it! From the reviews I’ve read before getting the Affinity Designer for the iPad, I was under the impression that this is the best design app ever! How does the best design app ever not have a Free Transform tool or options?! I’m totally frustrated and wasting a lot of time to figure this out, because I simply can’t imagine that a “design” app doesn’t allow me to distort an image. And the idea that I have to buy another app and add to the work and time, just to transform a simple image, and disrupt my work flow! Could someone explain how this happened? Because I’m regretting buying the app with every passing day. Edited December 18, 2020 by Muna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I don’t think Designer has ever been marketed as the “best design app ever”. Some of the text on the website says it is the “Best in class” but that can have all kinds of meanings depending on what the reader thinks it means (that’s just marketeers doing what marketeers do).

Dazmondo77 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Muna - many many users had the same reaction on first firing up Designer on the desktop - I've always viewed it as a standard feature that I've taken for granted since first using Freehand 8 (1998) - the good news was it was originally added to the Designer roadmap around 5 years ago, and the devs must have had some form of vector distortion working since first release, but I'm guessing they won't introduce it in an up and coming Beta until it is awesome - it is very hard to be patient, especially when an important job you are working on needs this, but for the time being we have to find workarounds - we have a few workarounds on the mac and windows but not sure what to recommend iPad - hopefully we won't have too much longer to wait? 22 minutes ago, GarryP said: don’t think Designer has ever been marketed as the “best design app ever”.
