There’s no telling how long this one might last, but it looks like you can score the popular Affinity image manipulation and editing apps for FREE right now using the steps below.
We are talking about the complete, lifetime license editions of Serif Labs’ Affinity Photo 2 for iPad, Affinity Designer 2 for iPad, and Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad.
When you navigate to the App Store all three apps appear to be free downloads with in-app purchases for the full versions. However, if you follow the steps below, many users are now available to secure the complete versions of these apps for FREE:
Navigate to the App Store for each of the three apps
Download the app/apps you want
Then you’ll need to make an account or sign in
Then enable the FREE 7-day trial
Navigate to the Account menu on the home screen and select Buy Now to effectively purchase the app for FREE
You can do this/follow these steps for each of the three apps listed above.
As of right now, the official Serif site is down in what appears to be preparation for a transition to new new business model after being purchased by Canva. Many folks, based on a statement from Canva previously, and the fact that the official site is now teasing “true creative freedom…just around the corner” on October 30, believe this is just some sort of glitch or Canva/Serif giving away lifetime licenses to versions of the iPad apps that will never get updated again.
Either way, free is free, and these apps would typically cost $18 and $22 back when they used to see 50% price drops for Black Friday and the like. There’s no telling how long this offer might last, be right until October 30 or until Canva decides to shut it down. Get in there while you can.
