Then, this happened!

I think we might get a few more people in our little corner of the internet soon!

Noticed that when I went to buy it this evening.....and it's top of the Paid Apps!! Well done to you all. It must be such a great feeling releasing it into the wild to such rave reviews. Congrats to everyone involved!

[Patrick Connor 3,309]

Well deserved recognition IMHO, congrats to all involved

[TonyB 1,480]

That's a wicked profile picture Patrick, I'm jealous now.

[rui_mac 507]

Just wrote a review in there. :-)

[David 401]

Fantastic news

[Jens Krebs 315]

Do you guys have any sales numbers for the first 24h to share?

[eejits 599]

Ditto rui_mac!

[GRScott 194]

I also wrote a review. Give them all of the kudos' they allow.

[Andy Somerfield 2,482]

No sales data yet - the App Store doesn't update so frequently (fair enough - I guess they have a lot of data to process!). So far, it says we have sold 14 copies :D (And none in the UK - I bought it at zero hour, so it's way, way behind).

 

We probably won't share exact numbers for the launch period, but I'll try to make sure we give you guys some feedback as to how we did!

I've put AD on Pinterest. 

 

Is anybody doing any anything on deviartart?

[Matthias 154]

App Store Germany: Affinity Designer is the No.1 bought app and the one with the best revenue.

Congratulations!

bought it and showed it to my students

[Lescot 62]

Great news!!

And that's just the beginning.

Sent the link to friends in different communities.

 

Right now on vacation -no Mac and no Appstore around... Eager to

buy my copy when I'm back ;)

[peter 634]

Must be weird, waiting to rush back from a holiday, LOL

[Martin Majewski 4]

That's what brought me to Affinity Designer, to the purchase of the same and finally to this forum and this reply! :-D

[MEB 7,560]

It's called Butterfly effect :)

Welcome to Affinity Forums Martin!

Commission, my dear boy. Claim it.

 

Sounds like another success story for the AD team. Install it on a couple of machines and get them hooked. It will be the best thing you did for them: Educate/Entertain (See the 1,000,000% zoom video, which was so amazing) and Economise, saving them tons of

dosh all at the same time. Maybe you should ask Serif about group licences etc.

 

I had a lecturer like you once (Recording technology), gave hooky copies of the MIDI composing software Cakewalk on floppy disk! Your students will remember you for this. They owe you.

 

Hmm, 11months x Adobe's subscription ransom money saved = a few more beers in your direction.

 

Enjoy! peter

[peter 634]

Guess which site is talking about AD?

 

http://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-illustrator/

 

Currently it's 11th on the list. Get liking it folks, it belongs at the top.

 

It's also getting a mention on a certain unkosher site called egydown, didn't take long did it?

Affinity Designer needs to have the same "essentials" badge that Sketch has. I would post a picture of it here but I can't figure out how to upload photos to this forum.

 

I think it's also a good idea to post a comparison review in Amazon between Illustrator and Affinity Designer. I wrote a review on the Photoshop page of a competitor and it rose to become one of the top reviews so there is obviously a lot of people who are interested in hearing about good competition on Amazon.

KipV,

Check this video: attach_image_post.mov

[KipV 117]

MEB I am not getting that attachment icon after clicking "more reply options". I saw the attachment icon at one point when I wasn't looking for it but know I can't seem to find it now.

[MEB 7,560]

It's at the bottom. Have you scrolled down completely? Are you using a mobile device (tablet/phone) to access the forums?

[KipV 117]

Here is a video of what is happening at my end:
