albertkinng Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 This is the greatest news from Affinity so far. They're not dead! Actually, they are working as we speak on a mayor release of their apps. How do I know? Check the video on Apple's website and find out all the things that are coming! So far, Live Sync, Universal Control drag and drop, in app access for iCloud and Photo apps are just a few you can actually spot in the brief ad. Can you spot more new and upcoming features?

Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 19, 2022 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2022 Thanks for the enthusiasm... but that's quite a lot of assumptions you have made there. We are proud to be featured in Apple’s launch, look out for exciting updates and an actual feature set from Affinity's social channels albertkinng 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

I'm pointing out what the app is showing up by itself. 1. iCloud (Files) is represented by an icon 2. Photos (also represented by an icon) 3. Account sync (represented by an icon, otherwise why I want to see my name under the account icon tab if it's not doing the same as the actual apps) 4. Project Gallery (that's basically how it looks) 5. Live Docs (do we need a definition?) 6. Project Info (is literally that) 7. New Icon (bruh!) Possible Assumptions: 1. Project Cloud Management (Based on the GUI that let you delete and move your tiles) 2. Drag and drop with Universal Control (based on the GUI that let you move projects around) 3. Studio Link (Based on the same functionality as the desktop because the others apps are available on iPad already) Maybe I'm wrong with the last three. Not the others, as they are shown with the labels very clearly.

HugoIII Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Wait- I also see the announcement of Affinity v3.45 at April 2023 - I heard it includes ai to make all of our Work. Maybe the time we are winning at this point we can spent at discussions in forums and have a look into our glass balls to tell development teams who are they in a very complex design process what they have done, should done and have to do. Or we all should doesn’t burning these kind of time and focus on our main projects - in my case this is not a discussion about any software - it is about a productive use of this wonderful piece of software in a professional way.

Totally relevant. This is not a place to be cynical and offend others, that’s for sure. Nobody is guessing what’s coming. In my defense I just pointed out what it’s showing up in the video, and the moderator was making sure with the post that it’s not ok to make any assumptions, if this was an off topic, this thread wouldn’t exist now.

Affinity should be accurate and trustworthy with the software they are working on. Imagine that even Publisher for iPad is not even coming out? How sure you would be putting your money on a next product? Judging for the lack of social media interaction and no news about the progress behind the scenes, it was refreshing to see their app on an Apple’s product announcement. I’m happy that Affinity still working on my fav apps. That’s the only thing I wanted to express here (a forum for users in a channel for feedback and chatting about their softwares) just sharing the joy of knowing they’re still here! Can’t wait for what’s coming!

They indeed don't have an obligation to anyone about anything. But it would be a great gesture to the community to give a small announcement about the state of V2. Seeing the messages on the forum it seems a lot of people are eager to get some info and quite a bit of speculation is going on lately. I think it would be wise to get a bit of a grip on the speculation so that people won't get majorly disappointed and go full negative posting everywhere albertkinng 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertkinng Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Affinity posted a new teasing video for new apps coming this month! I can't wait to see which of my guesses are true and which aren't! I have my money ready to buy all six apps at the same time. Not only that, but I've been saving for this moment. Designer 2, Photo 2, Publisher 2, Designer iPad 2, Photo iPad 2 and Publisher iPad 2! OMG! I think I'm going to have a heart attack just for waiting.
