Affinity > all photoshop alternatives
Sorry
I just checked this out. Seems great, but I was bummed to see they only support iOS, and not Android. Any idea if they plan to extend to Android?
They'll never support other platforms. Imagine being forced to purchase a whole system to use a single application.
Imagine thinking you're being forced
How would you describe it?
If they want to use the application ... they are forced to purchase a whole system.
Not so difficult to understand.
Or is there any other way to use the application?
Lol, you're not being FORCED to do anything dude. No one here is FORCING you to use it. Not so difficult to understand.
Also, you can run it on Linux using WINE
How does it compare to PS? After becoming comfortable in PS, I find the work flow in anything else cumbersome and hard to adjust to.
Very rarely do I need to google how to do something
It's about as close to photoshop as you can legally make a paid photoshop clone

Isn't Affinity more an Illustrator alternative since it's vector?
Affinity Designer is an Illustrator alternative, Affinity Photo is their Photoshop competitor and Affinity Publisher is an InDesign clone. The company that makes the Affinity products is called Serif. Hope this helps to clarify.
Just like Photoshop it has multiple softwares, Affinity is the brand name. It has a rastor program and and vector program, as well as a third software I think is like light room
Your use of > rather than ≥ correctly indicates that Affinity is not a Photoshop alternative at all (going by other comments about how it's not even available on Linux).
