SLOW & FRUSTRATING

[Stacey G 0]

I was doing great work with the app until my iPad updated to the new iOS. Now, I click a file to start working on & wait for awhile while it loads, then sometimes, not all the time, but often click to change something & wait & wait & wait. Then I check to see if i can find out what’s going on. Everything looks up to date & seems to be saving to my iCloud, then i see a suggestion to delete the app & reload it, i should not have listened to that. I do want to point out that I checked my iCloud file & everything appeared to be there, but i should have checked closer, because it appears now that since April (It is now nearly August) it has NOT be saving to my iCloud. Sadly I did not understand this until after I Deleted the App & re-installed it (Yes, I realize this is my fault, I should have checked closer, trust me the lesson has been learned!) So now about 4 months of work is gone. After a small meltdown regrouping session, I decide to suck it up & start re-doing my work, but what happens, OH YEAH IT STILL MOVES SLOW AS MOLASSES!!!! This is as you might imagine very frustrating & makes me want to not even try to use the app & use something else like Sketch or whatever. I guess my questions are:

1. What am I missing? I fully realize I just might be missing something obvious, just please help me, point me in the right direction. 

2. Is this something I need to wait for you guys to figure out & fix? Can you give me any idea of when the fix might come? 

3. Why in the world would it stop default saving to the iCloud when I never changed that option & when i would periodically check it always said it was default saving to the iCloud? 

Here is the rundown of what I’m working with:

iPad Pro : iOS 12.4 

Affinity Designer v 1.7.1.1

Sincerly,

Small update. Thanks to my husband I have recovered the lost deleted files! BUT, The app is still SUPER SLOW & Frustrating. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. If someone could give an estimate when that might happen it might help. My questions are still the same, I’m just a little less stressed since we were able to recover the deleted files.

Thank you!

Hi both,

Can you please both provide examples of this behaviour so we can investigate it. We would need:

• screen recordings and/or steps to replicate it
• project files if the issues are file specific. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Possible that devs have found the issue and fix coming soon for Affinity Photo. Who knows, may be same with Designer?
