Will Affinity one day support Android Devices?


Recommended Posts

Hello. I was wondering if Affinity would one day be on Android because I would love to use Affinity on the go or have an extra portable device to work with but I don't have any plans to get Apple products. Nothing against them, I only see myself buying apple stuff when/if I ever have super extra cash laying around. Since I'm on PC Windows, Android would be a much more seamless experience.

Thanks in advance.

Very unlikely due at least in part to the relavively low computing power of sevices that run tyhat OS.

IOW, if it did work at all it would be horribly slow for almost anything you would want to use it for.

And unless a lot of devices running the Android OS get a lot more processing power (& a very large user base for those more powerful versions!) they probably never will.

Ok, thanks for the responses. I understand now. After making this post I looked around and see this reason is well known and it makes sense. I guess if I really want a portable I have to save up for an iPad...and pen...and case. It's ok, I want to upgrade my old tablet and this will be a huge consideration in my choices.
