joe_l Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 To make it clear: I like the Affinities. A lot. And I highly appreciate the work Serif puts into it. But V2 is plagued by a massive amount of bugs, which reminds me of the (German?) term "Banana software, which ripes at the customer". Has Serif to rethink QA? I have this feeling over some bugs, which should not be part of a retail version. So for now, I am using V2 for unimportant projects, learning to master the new software / features and bug hunting (not MY task so to speak). Serif did not met the hype about V2, but I have high hopes, that they will fix the bugs and deliver a stable V2 I can enjoy for daily work. I am sorry for the mild rant here from a faithful customer. 🙄 _Th and Nnnn 2 Quote ---------- Windows 10 / 11, Complete Suite Retail and Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ana-Irina Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Affinity has been a life-changer for me, but...I am also waiting for the next V2 updates. Right now, V2 doesn't feel finished and I am a bit anxious to use it for larger projects. There are all these small things, like Publisher 2 not maintaining the proper proportions of the page previews, that make me feel uneasy. I have a bunch of objections regarding the UI, but even if I'd ignore all the "cosmetic" issues, the software is still not stable enough. I am glad that Serif is still providing updates for V1, because I am not ready to switch to V2 just yet. People are giving a lot of feedback, so hopefully the Serif team will start implementing some very-needed corrections. And maybe they'll fix the New and Export panels too. That would be nice. 🙂 Until then, V2 is back on the shelf for later use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorwaves Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I also continue to use only the V1, which works well and stably on my computer. After some testing I think that the current V2 is immature and since my current projects don't allow me to play the beta tester, I didn't install V2 on my work computer. I bought the V2 as soon as it was released and even though it only introduced part of the features I was hoping for, I am grateful for these and other improvements (including the universal license) and look forward to more features in the coming updates. For three years, I've found V1 to be a reliable Adobe replacement that performs well enough to leave the top dog. This created a certain trust in Serif, which is why I reacted calmly to the current development status of the V2. Despite the problematic start, my overall impression is rather positive. I assume or rather hope that Serif will be able to fix the software soon. Then V2 would definitely be a step forward. joe_l 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
