I pretty much use Affinity Designer every day since their Windows launch (2017?) . This saved me hundreds of euros or more in comparison to Photoshop. I will 100% buy this!

So I bought all V1s back then and now they're gone from the Mac App Store. I see.

Edit: Got it, have to download it from the purchase history (which was 2014), not the offical now-gone link.

Apple is at least partly to blame here for stubbornly refusing to add paid upgrades to the app stores, despite developers calling for it for years.

I migrated to Affinity after Adobe put the last nail in the coffin for me.

I have to admit that even with some experience, Affinity doesn't get close to Photoshop in terms of shortcuts and ease of use ("getting in the flow").

Sometimes I even resort to using photopea web, rather than open affinity.

That said, I really appreciate their pricing model and hope they stick to their guns.

Can you not download them from your purchases tab?

Yes but devs usually leave the old version on the MAS and don't remove it entirely.

Also it appears the new v2 licensing approach does not support Family Purchases, which is a step backward in my view.
