UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (Free for existing customers)

The software version can be seen on the corner of preferences screen.

Your Affinity iPad apps should update automatically next time you run them. However, you do need to be logged in with the same Apple ID you used to buy them.

If the automatic update does not happen for you, go to the iPad App Store app and go to Updates. Once you’re there, tap near the top of the screen where it states 'Updates' and then hold, pull down and then release. This should manually refresh the updates page. However, don’t contact us if the updates are not available for you yet—Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world and this can take up to 24 hours.

Unlike other updates, I was able to open the beta version along side of the newly downloaded AP 1.9.0.128 from the App Store.  I was wondering if the beta will be live for some time.

thanks to all that have made this app so awesome

It will, but there is no advantage to using it. It is the same as the release build minus about 5 last minute bug fixes
