Can't wait to try this out, currently waiting for TestFlight to work properly and install the new build. 

 

This should make vector work so much better.

Just downloaded the beta from test flight.  I am having a lot of fun working with my photos and the affinity app is amazing.  I am still seeing a lot of crashes when I try to import pictures from the cloud using Microsoft OneDrive as a source.  It will access the drive but then timeout and make you start over.  i have seen this bug in every iteration of the software.  

 

Thanks!
