Support is excellent, even when I ask dumb questions. They answer back right away, probably cursing me for asking such dumb questions. Gotta like that!
And the developers. Dude. Fling them a bug report and they'll be back to you in no time. I've been put on beta versions just for that so I could test the fixed bug. Flying Meat deserve your money.
- Layered screenshots - great feature where you can make a screenshot of your Desktop and hide any window layer you don't like (including Dock, system clock, etc.)
- Anti-aliasing Text
- The new Path Text Tool
These features are missing from Affinity Photo, so Acorn performs better with text. Of course, it misses a lot of Affinity features (i.e. action history), but for its price tag it does a lot.
- Acorn connects to the Internet every time I open it. The auto check for updates option is off.
- There is a scary Registration Certificate with a flying deer head above my name (looks like a trophy of some ghost). One may wonder why developer wastes his time in such repulsive certificate. Acorn prefs have a registration tab panel with my data, which is enough.
- App crashed exactly when I entered my registration info.
- PSD support is very limited.
After all, I regret the purchase. My idea was to work in Affinity Photo and add anti-aliasing text (or text on a path) in Acorn, but this seems no so easy. I will need a common file format (i.e. PSD) that preserves all layers and effects. However, PSD is not well supported in Acorn, so I'm back to Affinity Photo. Affinity Designer has a text-on-a-path feature and if a need arises I will go for it.
I searched developer's site if refunds are possible. I found only this statement in their Terms of Service:
"Flying Meat will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid."
