Suburbian Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 You'd think it would be simple to just get a refund or express your dissatisfaction, or something not publicly? So you sell crap as far as I'm concerned if everyone has to read my issue too? I hate forums, detest them and want nothing to do with one or the the people who find them useful Photoshop beats your product in the one category that really matters.... stability and reliability and Affinity is a -0 to Adobe at 100 and I was duped for 50 bucks by this "thing".... most unreliable unstable software I have used in 20 years ...bar none. If users want guaranteed frustration? ...Affinity because it's a pure crapshoot to have a an image not crash the program and get you through without 5 or 6 freezes per image .....horrible, horrible after 6 months just horrendous freeze crash freeze updated to new, uninstalled and downloaded latest version clean...same exact issue, just as bad. Same computer Runs Adobe and Silkypix, smooth as silk...not a hiccup ever ....not one... Who cares what the results are after all that frustration? All you can really think about is paying money for a nerve rattling experience like Affinity offered and why you bought the thing in the first place?

p_mac Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Suburbian, you must have lots of money cause you are paying Adobe monthly fees. I have been using this product since the beginning and have never encountered what you are telling us in your post. I walked away from adobe when they tried to collect fees on my standalone product and their nosey pestering with their phoning home software. I am sure that serif will give you a refund. Mac or Windows? would be a good thing to let them know and what operating system you are running. Perhaps the type of computer. Guess it is back to adobe for you, see ya'.

Report a Problem if you purchased from the Mac App Store, or follow the Returns and Refunds procedure if you purchased from the Affinity Store.

So this is a problem with an easy solution for everyone: just don't post anything else here you don't want publicly available.

jegog Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If you are having problems it is either your hardware or some other background program doing something that programs should not do. As for photoshop 20 years ago, you must be dreaming or smoking something hallucinogenic if you think it is better than Affinity Photo. And Photoshop has never been close to only $50. Before you start bagging a product make sure it is the product causing your problems, because it makes you look stupid when you make false accusations.

firstdefence Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 He's just venting, I think if he'd come to this forum before he got so wound up things could have been different. I'm guessing he's a Windows user on a average spec system. Adobe have a 30 year head start on Affinity so I think Adobe should have got it right by now, having said that looking at the adobe forums would suggest adobe is anything but stable lol! I've used Adobe products for more years than I care to remember and there have been many crashes, incompatibilities, even BSOD when I was a Windows user. Aah! the memories, playing Ghost Recon "if you can see me you're already dead" or SplinterCell 'sneaky sneaky' Sat there with Bandana on and camo'ed up and thinking Rambo thoughts hahaha! Maybe when he's calmed down we could help him, if he wants that help. I think he needs a hug so I'm sending him a hug there you go vexed man lol!

In the email that you received when you purchased Affinity Photo back in January the 14 day returns process was explained. As you are past that you are probably best to try to use the support processes to improve your experience. You are not alone in disliking support forums (which as you see above has customers who are willing to help showing forums can prove very efficient) you can alternatively create a support ticket by emailing AffinitySupport@serif.com firstdefence, SrPx, MEB and 1 other 3 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
