Reviews: What People Think About Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad

Rating: 5/5

As someone who designs and sells digital planners, journals, and printable templates, I can honestly say no other app compares. Affinity Publisher gives you full control over layout, typography, and structure—without the subscription drama. Whether I’m creating interactive PDFs, printable inserts, or full-on eBooks, Publisher handles it all smoothly. And it works beautifully on both iPad and Mac—there’s no learning curve jump between devices. The interface is clean, and the built-in “Learn” section helps you get comfortable with the tools fast. What I love most? It’s professional-grade but still accessible to everyday creatives. No Adobe subscription. No hidden fees. Just a powerful design tool that lets you create, export, and sell your digital products like a pro. If you’re a digital planner seller, Etsy shop owner, or eBook creator looking to level up your designs and save money long-term—Affinity Publisher is the one.

In the long run I think Publisher will be a great iPad app but at present (October 29, 2023) it still has major bugs that were being discussed in tutorial videos a year ago. 1. I get the standard iPad keyboard on my screen instead of the switchable Affinity keyboard. What should be there, above the numbers, is a a set of menu options, such as a pair of scissors and an icon for toggling between keyboards (the other has options specific to Publisher—inserting special characters, maths, inserting page breaks, and so on). I once managed to access that menu keyboard (no idea how) but couldn't get back to the QWERTY keyboard until I reinstalled the app. 2. The app still struggles with cloud services on the iPad. I have not had that problem with other apps. 3. Support staff are deeply hidden, nearly inaccessible. They must be Top Secret. Because I have severe neuropathy I don't find it easy to work with any interface. That's not a problem with the app but it does predispose me to being impatient with bugs and glitches.…I think the app has so much potential and is already significantly ahead of Adobe's mobile apps, I'm not inclined to give up. It's definitely a viable alternative to InDesign.

I like the app and the price of it but I expected to be able to do the data merge in Publisher documents. I am not able to do that. I only bought the ipad version as that is what makes sense for me and what I am doing however when I discovered that I cannot data merge like the website indicates (no where does it say except ipad version) I contacted them to inquire if I could just buy a computer version only because I already own the iPad version so I dont want to purchase it again they said no. I have to buy the whole universal license for almost $165 even though I already purchased the IPad version for $42. It would be nice if either they gave the ipad version full functionality or let you buy only the desktop version like they allow you to buy only the ipad version. DO NOT BUY the ipad version if you need full functionality as it DOES NOT have it. I almost feel scammed.
