Ah, that is why I didn’t find it on iPad. Thanks. After following your advice on the desktop I found that typing the name here also works https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/ignore/

But, not that much time on the iPad version of Publisher - Serif Labs seems to have low prio on iPad nowadays…

iPad & Publisher, well personally I couldn't care less. - But if Apple keeps on their yearly announcement cycles, aka maybe a possible October event, or at least some new iPad Pro hardware & iPad OS update announcements this year, then Serif for sure will be aware of that and act accordingly.

Well let's ask someone who will probably know what the future will bring ...

No…

If we talk Publisher for iPad it could take around 10-14 month before release…

If we talking v2 on all three platform, then 2025…

In the past, it has taken Serif 6 to 12 months to produce updates of APhoto 1 differing by only one decimal number (1.6, 1.7, 1.8, etc.) In between these releases there were often several updates to each of the decimal versions. In the four years since I bought my copy of APhoto there have been 18 such updates to APhoto 1. Every update was preceded by a public beta that was tested and commented on by users over months.

I am wondering why there is now so much excitement and speculation about APhoto 2 being released "soon" given that there has been no public beta of such a product.

Do users expect APhoto 2 will be released without a public beta preceding the release?

If so, is it logical to conclude there will be major improvements and changes included in APhoto 2 as compared to APhoto 1 given that relatively small changes and bug fixes in APhoto 1 undergo months of public beta testing before release?

You mean really "update" (version 1.10 to 1.11)? No - see Beta forum, where isn't any prepared beta version.

You mean "upgrade" (version 1.x to 2.x)? Hard to say - how many months is few months for you? In the development of such a complex software as ASuite for two/three platforms, several years can be "a few months".

It would be nice if that were true but unfortunately it is not at all uncommon in the software industry to not fix existing issues in one version & instead to focus on developing (& selling!) the next major release.

I am not saying Serif will not issue any more v1.x updates, only that they may not.

The same thing can be said about Publisher for iPad - still no ”public” beta and no sign of a stable version of Publisher for iPad that has Studio Link not buggy as hell…

As I said earlier, don’t expect Publisher for iPad to be released until next summer/fall…

Since iPad apps must come from the Apple app store & Apple does not permit public betas in its store, there will never be a public beta for any of the Affinity iPad apps.

This should be obvious if you consider that there never was a public beta for either AP or AD for iPad, so once again a strong indication that  @AffinityMakesMeSmile does not know what he wants us to think he knows.

If Affinity doesn't make the suite available for the Atari 2600, I'm going to have to go back to Adobe.

Doesn't Atari have an emulator chip to enable running Mac OS 6.x 7.x? [dizzying flash-back to myself in the 80s emoticon]

My Macintosh PowerBook 180c (1993) with Mac OS 7.x had an Atari 2600 emulator.  I tend to doubt the Atari 2600 would have been able to emulate Mac OS 6 or 7.  The Atari 2600 was a video game system.

There was a Mac emulator for the Atari ST which was a computer system.  Also an MS-DOS emulator.

I don't think the ST would have needed an emulator chip.  It used the same 68000 processor that the early Macs did.

That is most likely what I was (mis)remembering. Thanks.
