If your Apple Family is allowed or able to use your Affinity account on their devices is a question I am neither qualified nor comfortable to answer. Your Apple Family is allowed to use those apps on your devices. So, I guess that this license technically will not use Apple’s Family Sharing. It is your Affinity account - which is necessary for the universal license (it works on PCs, too). I think this means that the Apple-ID itself is not the key for the Universal license. It is working across platforms, even on PCs.

The universal license is being handled by Serif/Affinity. However, only you are allowed to use the apps for commercial use-if any members of your household need to make commercial use of the apps as well they will need to purchase their own license. Other people (for example, members of your household) are also allowed to use the apps on those devices. It just all depends on what you want to do.As a private individual you can install Affinity apps on as many devices as you own which run the operating system you have purchased a license for (of course in the case of a Universal License that means you can install on any iPads, Macs or Windows PCs you own). And for just goofing around sketching, Zen Brush 3 is rather nice. Procreate, Clip Studio (for a yearly subscription), and Artstudio Pro are my top picks in that order for drawing and painting on iOS.

It has a lot of features and does a lot of things Photoshop for desktop does, but it wasn't for me.Īffinity is NOT, however, a good painting or drawing program on the iPad, IMO. So if you buy Affinity, you gotta commit to learning it. I'm an old dog who's been working in Photoshop since 1995 (pre layers!), and learning new tricks was hard, so I bit the bullet, got the PS subscription (and subsequently the whole Cloud) so I've given up doing any kind of photo-manipulating on the iPad and do all my Photoshopping and Vector Illustrating on my PC. I don't like the way you have to switch schemas (or whatever Affinity calls it) to do different tasks, and it was taking me forever to learn. However, there's a tremendous learning curve to it. For the iPad, Affinity is definitely the superior product over the version of Photoshop Adobe came out with a couple years ago. I got Affinity a while ago before Photoshop was a full product on iOS. I own both Affinity and the full Adobe Cloud subscription.
