peter Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Hi folks, I'm holding the plastic now until bed time. I'm chomping at the bit here: hurry up Appstore/time zone. It would be nice to see who was first and second and third etc, past the post in buying AD and how it the experience was for all who invested in first release from Nottingham's finest, Affinity. The -Plus team over on Windows has done a great job over the years and Affinity will also do the same here on the Mac. Happy launch day team. Hope the champers go down well! Happy hangover. :D peter.

Staff Andy Somerfield Posted October 2, 2014 Staff Posted October 2, 2014 I was FIRST :D :D Maybe.. hehe - and I checked that iCloud worked too!!! (sorry - internal developer joke..) Anyway - I would like to thank everyone who supported our initial release with their $ - you have only seen a small part of what you have just paid us for - we will continue to deliver for years - this is a relationship, more than a purchase.. Thanks, and thanks again... Affinity Team. peter, Dale and rui_mac 3
davidpwrmc Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I am presuming that sales become possible via the Apple App Store based on local time. If so, then it will be a few hours before a purchase can happen where I'm located (Florida, USA) if it becomes available officially as soon as "October 2" starts at midnight local time. I am waiting with bated breath! ;) - David
Quarian Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Yes, I think davidpwrmc is right. I'm in his same time zone and, as of 8:30 p.m. local time (1:30 a.m. the next morning in the U.K.), the Apple Store doesn't show Affinity Designer in a search.
Raskolnikov Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Appstore details. Why classify as 9+? does AF contain violence? :D
MaxClass Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Raskolnikv, You may not have been the first but are the first red head and possibly the first women. You are an icon on this site. Congratulations. I thought the program was supposed to be PG-13. My beta is. I have to wait until Pacific time here in Las Vegas (same time as the App Store).

davidpwrmc Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I can report that, a few minutes after 11pm Eastern Time in the US, I was able to buy and download Affinity Designer! So, I have it now. Version 1.1.0. Looks like Apple jumped the gun a little...it's still October 1 here! Now, all I need is pasteboard access!!! ;) PS: Am I the first in the US to get AD? :D - David

Matthias Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Bought it! Wrote a little review (in German). Well, more a brief opinion than an actual review.
Bluejohn Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 How do I get it for £27.99? Its £35.99 on the app store.
Staff TonyB Posted October 2, 2014 Staff Posted October 2, 2014 How do I get it for £27.99? Its £35.99 on the app store. What country are you in? Affinity designer is £27.99 in the UK App store for me.
Bluejohn Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 What country are you in? Affinity designer is £27.99 in the UK App store for me. I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland.
000 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I am surely not the first to purchase it but would like to emphasise in what kind position you guys from Serif are, to have programmed a software that people are so eager to purchase that they are talking about who bought it first. The fact alone that this forum thread even exists should be reason enough for you to jump up and down in the office. :-) peter 1
Staff TonyB Posted October 2, 2014 Staff Posted October 2, 2014 I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland. Do you have the App store account set to UK? Can you post a screen shot as it should be £27.99
Kirkers Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Bought this (for £27.99 ;) ) last night, so good to see Serif now on OSX officially, hopefully with enough support from its users it will be the game changer the world needs :D (A)D-Day is here, get clicking on the App Store guys
CartoonMike Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Got it! And now taking my time going though all the settings and such. BTW, the Help file is the best I've encountered so far! It's very well organized and is very readable and clear in its descriptions. Kudos to all involved! Absolutely no buyers remorse from this happy camper :) Mac OS X Catinlina, 2014 iMac, 3.5 Ghz Intel Core i7, Huion Kamvas Pro 22 Graphic Tablet, 16GB RAM, MacOS10.12 || Magic keyboard w/numeric keypad, wireless trackpad, Kengsington Edge Trackball || Flux Capacitor in a secure location --- I encourage kids to go ahead and play on my lawn.

Bluejohn Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Do you have the App store account set to UK? Can you post a screen shot as it should be £27.99 I hve an america mac so this could be the issue. Can you explain how to switch over to the UK store? From googling I can only find ways through the iphone.
Staff Andrew Tang Posted October 2, 2014 Staff Posted October 2, 2014 Hi BlueJohn, The screenshot you have posted shows the price in Euros - €35.99. That is the introductory offer price. :) If you want to see the price in UK pounds, I suspect you need to switch your App Store to the United Kingdom region. The button is at the bottom right of the page shown as a flag. Andy
Bluejohn Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 God im an idiot. I've only moved here in the last month and was lying in bed when I saw it. Still adjustign to the whole euro pound thing. Bit embarrassing.... I have changed my account location and card details anyway. Time to buy!
