skroychowdhury Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Since Publisher Beta is coming to an end is there any NEWS on when they are bringing the new app in Microsoft store. I would really like to order from Microsft Store instead of ordering from their website. I already have the Affinity Photo and Designer from Microsft store. Would like to buy their third app on Microsoft store too. Quote
walt.farrell Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 The product is scheduled to become available on June 19, so it presumably won't be available before that date in the Microsoft Store. If I had to guess, it might be a few days later, depending on when Serif is able to submit it to Microsoft, and how long it takes Microsoft to approve it and make it available.

I would suspect they will take their sweet time before submitting the app to the Microsoft store. Since they have to give a cut of every sale through Microsoft store I would imagine Serif would want to sell as many copies as they can by themselves before releasing the app to Microsoft store.

What's wrong with that??? A lot of time, effort and expense goes into development. They deserve the right to market it as they choose. No need to be sarcastic about it. jmwellborn 1 Quote RickyOAPh, ADe and APu user New User as of Mar, 2018 (Still stumbling along given too many directions at any given moment) Windows10 platform

The 1.7 releases of Photo and Designer were on the Mac App store the same day they were on the Serif store. Based on the release threads here on the forum it appears it was the same for the Microsoft store. I see no reason for Publisher to be any different. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/4-news-and-information/ Quote

Agreed, there are no plans to make it a different day. There is no need to penalize those who like the Microsoft Store by making them wait for a later launch date.

Gerard O Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Will Publisher from Affinity Store work ok with Designer and Photo from Microsoft Store? I have both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo from Microsoft Store. Can I purchase Publisher from Affinity Store and integrate them or should I wait and purchase from Microsoft Store?

It is your choice we are trying very hard for this all to be seemless on each OS, no matter where you choose to purchase from which should be your choice.
