Hi @kanihoncho,

As far as I'm aware you can install and run the affinity apps from an external drive if you're on MacOS, but we do generally recommend installing it locally to your 'Applications' folder in finder as prompted to during the .DMG install.

Hi Nathan 🙂

Is there any prospect of Affinity being available for each Mac architecture separately, so your many customers using all three programs won’t have to download and waste precious, non-expandable SSD space on program code for a platform other than their own? We’re now looking at downloading 3 x 3 GB or more because of the universal packages. This must be especially painful on iPads, where I assume the same issue applies.

I’m mostly asking on behalf of others. I have a reasonable amount of storage myself, but I assume that customers buying affordable software aren’t the same ones purchasing the most expensive Macs with maxed-out storage. And since students now get Affinity for free and may have Macs with smaller SSDs, this issue must be particularly challenging for them.

Serif, did you foolishly fill the usability specialist role you advertised internally? If so, be transparent with your customers. Continuing without proper UX expertise insults your entire user base.

As a member of the Tech support team I really wouldn't be able to a give a definitive statement, but I'm not aware of any plans to offer non-universal installers for MacOS. If this is something you'd like to see considered I'd recommend posting over on the feedback section of the forums. 🙂

Alrighty 🙂
