(Publisher) Pre-order program

[bediicco]

I have adapted every new release in the Affinity Suite on Windows and now for the iPad with a long wait. Constantly searching for the publication and the entry price, waiting for the app itself. Affinity's e-mail reminder has never worked before, the service has admitted this several times - when the e-mail comes, I and everyone else have already noticed and bought the release much days before.

Why this miserable wait? I would like to buy Publisher now for the iPad at the introductory price and then simply be informed when the software is available for download. Why do I have to check every day to see if the time has come?

Let me just buy and pay for it as a pre-order now!!! 😣

Thanks.

Hi @BenDE

Unfortunately that will not be possible. 
 

If you follow the 'News and Information' thread on our Forum, it will advise you when any information is available.

You do realise that all Apps on Apple devices have to come from the Apple App Store not from Serif direct. There is no possibility to pay an Apple App provider directly.

There is no problem to pre-order Apps in Appstore. You can buy Apps before initial public release

Fair enough, never seen any provider do that before.
