I’ve figured it out for the ipad in Affinity Photo!
Draw a pen line or choose a shape tool. Set this item at active so there will be a square around it. Choose the text tool. Set the cursor it at the line or the shape  and start  typing. The text will follow the curves of the line or shape.  And the best part..... if you draw a line with the pen tool and like to change the curves, the text is moving also!!

what does it mean to set the shape or line as active thanks?

Chose ‘Distortions > Equations’ in the Filters Studio and play with the parameters, or use a macro such as the one provided here:

The file you need for Affinity Photo on iPad is the *.macros one, with ‘s’ on the end of the filename extension. The iPad version of APh doesn’t understand *.macro files.

Works well on iPad...for a quick macro, just choose the 2nd ‘B’ link to download.

Otherwise...use the Filters> Shear (using tab tables)...or Pen Tool, to create your own on a Text on Path (Art Text> Tap on Line Path- red/green triangles to adjust text placement)- use Nodes and such too further manipulate.

I figured it out but how do I get the text in the shape of a heart? Also equations on the iPad to do this is broken and doesn’t work.
