Last year I got an iPad pro as a gift. I’ve been meaning to do more with it especially photo editing and I finally got around to looking into it.

But…every damn photo app seems to be a subscription. The ones that aren’t are very basic.

Until I found Affinity Photo 2.

Holy hell, an extremely full featured photo app with no sub?! It’s like Lightroom and Photoshop rolled into one for a one-time payment of $A30.

I took a few days to learn it and once you do it’s very good.

For the cost of buying Affinity forever I could get Adobe’s photo plan for just 2 months!

For someone like me who will use this stuff lightly, going some months without using it at all, subscription software sucks.

Well done to Affinity for providing a high quality alternative. Give them a look - they also have Windows and Mac versions.

This sounds like an ad but it’s not, I’m just so tired of having subs pushed in my face - especially on the app store - that when I find a good alternative I feel like shouting about it!

    Affinity whole suit is great and I can personally highly reccomend it. It isn’t on par with Adobe on several things, but they are closing the distance fast. They are great especially if you need them only once in a while.
