monzo Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi, I'm running Designer and Photo already on Mac and PC, so pleased to see the new iOS version. Just a quick question - what's the performance like on an Air 2? I realise this is the lowest compatible device, so wondering if there are any limitations with usage and performance. My Air 2 is an earlier model. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFisher Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi monzo :)The performance on the Air 2 should be just fine. Have you used the app at all since posting on the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzo Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi, Thanks for the reply. Haven't bought it yet, due to the not-quite-wonderful feedback from some, but since I've got everything else they've made and I use it daily on the desktop, I'm sure I will eventually. It'd be good to hear feedback from Air 2 users - since this is the lowest specced supported model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherineb Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I have an iPad air 2 and the performance seems ok. I am still learning to use it and therefore have some issues but performance wise it seems decent. You can't beat the price off the app. And there seems to be a lot functionalities available. What I am not pleased with, is that they have no development with pen makers. I bought Adonit Pixel especially for that but it doesn't seem to pick up all capabilities, especially with the brushes. Anyhow I think this app is worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilleG Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'm not a power user; I do mostly photo editing for personal use. But I shoot RAW and usually make a number of adjustments on an image and I'm happy with the performance of my Air 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still considering whether to buy - a lot of bugs and crashes are being reported, so still on the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be fine for several edits, then freeze up or crash. Doesn't seem to save where you were at when it freezes or crashes. Also having an issue that it doesn't return storage space claimed after deleting a project. That being said, after the kinks are worked out, it's fairly impressive. Looks like about 85% of the desktop features made it into the iPad app. And, they're the most useful features too. I wouldn't use it on a paying gig right now on an Air 2, or if you're in a hurry. But fingers crossed Serif tightens this up enough for solid Air 2 use. At present, not quite there I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunrize Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi, I have just got the Affinity Designer for iPad (Air 2) - cool, but: Unfortunately, I am experiencing freezings & lags, when checking examples included in the app - it's practically not possible to work on those files. Are those examples so "big files" that iPad Air 2 is not capable to treat them correctly? Now the app is launching but nothing responds. So, a bug on my iPad? or it's just generally a too old machine for the task? A bit disappointed here, but I could understand if my iPad is too old - just tell me, and I'll ask Apple to get the refund. Thank you for your help guys.
