Reviews: What People Think About Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad
Just a random IOS Reviewer
Rating: 5/5
I have been a big fan of Affinity for quite some time. I also went through a stretch using an iPad as my only portable productivity device, using it as my main laptop. This was only possible due apps top tier apps like LumaFusion and the Affinity Suite, etc. Apps like Affinity Publisher are what make the iPad what it is! I believe every serious creative professional with an iPad should have this app downloaded!

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 was absolutely loving EVERYTHING about this app…the functionality, the mobility to create a book on the go, and the simplicity of the UI until this afternoon when all of a sudden, about 60 of my linked images all changed to ONE duplicated image that couldn’t be undone even by cycling through the history. On top of that, when manually replacing one linked image to its original pic, the app clearly bugged out and a lot of the backgrounds changed to that newly replaced image as well. But before you ask, no, it wasn’t an image placed on a master page by accident. Please, please, please get this fixed because I abandoned Adobe for Serif products because I fell in love with this company but the levels of stress I’ve endured by trying to find a way to get my book back have been unfathomable. And the endless crashing is insane.
