The Affinity Creative Suite for iPad (Photo 2, Designer 2, Publisher 2) is currently free, you should probably get them in case it's a mistake and they change it later, they're normally $18.49 each. Just make sure to activate the perpetual license after downloading (currently showing as a $0 IAP).

@michi based on their homepage, I bet these versions are being discontinued https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/

Still a great catch though! Grabbed all 3. Thanks!

@developerjustin @michi Doesn’t look like the desktop software is available for download anymore either?
Dang, I should have upgraded to v2. For my limited use that probably would have sorted me for a very long time.

@developerjustin @michi Found the download page still existing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like V1 upgrade pricing applies. Not sure it’s worth the cost for me :/
Happy to have the iPad apps though

@mez Ugh, I’d been procrastinating buying the v2 suite, and now it looks like I can’t anymore. ☹️

@Wevah I was able to download and install it (searched for the v2 download) but pretty sure I was previously posted a better price for upgrading from v1. Buying the license looks to be done in-app

@Wevah That said comments on a fb post I found made it sound like they weren’t offering v2 purchases and people in the trial window were screwed so ymmv

@Wevah Oops, followed the actual buy now button and it just gets you to the landing page womp.

@michi Do you have any idea how much and what type of information they require to “sign up” for an account? I have the first version of Designer on the iPad, but I am pretty sure that I didn’t require an account to run it.

That sounds like a great deal for those that don’t mind yet another account though.

[edit] By the way, Thank you for the heads-up…I got them 🙂!

@michi They are dropping support for v2 apps it seems, and promise "Creative Freedom" on October 30, which likely means a subscription model. I guess this is as good time as any to grab the last "good" version of the product.
