  • Affinity

11/22/21

Like so many others, I came to Affinity after becoming disillusioned with Adobe's subscription pricing. I might have come for the value, but I have stayed for the software. It is fabulous — a real joy to use.

I use all three apps — Photo, Designer, and Publisher. I have Photo and Designer on both my Mac and iPad, and can't wait until the long-promised Publisher iPad version comes out.

All the apps can be interlinked to share functionality. They have a common interface so once you've learned to use one, you are a long way towards using them all.

Functionally, they do everything I need and more. I would say I am an enthusiastic amateur rather than a professional user, but I do push the programs beyond just simple functionality. They are all highly performant. So much so that I was even able to use them satisfactorily on an ageing 11-year-old laptop when my main machine was unavailable for a month. I have not found anything I did in Adobe's equivalents that I cannot do in the Affinity apps.

The support team are also very helpful. There's an active user forum, and having posted there a few times I've received good support from the developers, who even went to the trouble of analysing my files and diagnosing a problem. It turned out to be a bug and within a couple of days they had fixed it and made a beta available publicly. I never got that kind of support from Adobe.

To bring it back round to where I started, you get all of this performance, functionality and support for a very reasonable one-off price. I almost feel guilty for not giving them more money when they come out with major new features!

Highly recommended.

The software is outdated and overpriced, but it does what it sets out to do. The biggest problem is that the company refuses to honour their "lifetime perpetual licence".

They direct you to their website to generate a licence key, but since they changed their website you can no longer do so.

You would hope that having paid five hundred dollars for a piece of simple code, they would be able to sort out a licence key anyway, but sadly your hope would be for naught. Their rude support team refuse to help.

Overall, best avoided. There's better, cheaper and more performant autoresponder software out there that comes with competent support and a team that stand by their licence. Interspire is none of those things.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid.

  • Disney+

There's no doubt that there's a ton of great content on Disney Plus literally something for all the family. Some major movies are missing, but that's down to region restrictions and laws in specific countries, so we can't fault Disney for that.

The real problem comes with the actual player. On my TV (a recent Samsung SmartTV) the app is awful. Content stops to buffer every few seconds. Okay I don't have the fastest internet, only about 10Mb/s, but Netflix and Amazon Prime don't have these problems neither of them ever buffer. Disney is virtually unwatchable most of the time. Nothing takes you out of a movie like having the action stop-start-stop-start! It's not much better on other devices (I use iPads and MacBooks) either.

My other main quibble is the interface. The main screen for selecting shows is hard to navigate and so, so slow... thumbnails take minutes to load. There's a button to "skip recaps", but there's no way I've been able to find to actually navigate to it. And another personal bugbear is subtitles they're only available in one language for most content. Netflix manages a dozen or more.

I know all of these problems are fixable because Netflix has managed. They have a bigger catalogue, a way better interface, and no buffering or speed problems. But they also don't have Disney's shows.

I'm keeping my Disney Plus subscription going for now because it's relatively low priced, and because I hope that the app will get better over time. If it worked properly, it would be great value.

  • Flightradar24

7/4/20

As someone who loves flying, FlightRadar 24 is one of my favorite apps and websites. I don't strictly need it as such, but seeing what's around me is addictive.

If you take commercial flights I guess it's a useful service, but that's not the way I use it. I like to know what's in the air around me. The augmented reality thing works great for that I can point my phone at a plane in the sky and it overlays everything I could want to know about it which is almost everything except the pilot's name!

It's worth paying for the lowest tier to get rid of the ads and to be able to set some alerts. You also get the 3D view which is like a flight simulator (you need a decent internet connection though, otherwise the landscape loads too slowly). If you want the top tier it becomes prohibitively expensive. Apparently if you set up your own station to contribute flight data you can get the top tier for free, but that's a bit beyond me.

Overall, a highly addictive and useful app.

My friend recommended Joshua to me after he had him cast a spell to get with a colleague he liked. I was kinda skeptical, but I was such a mess after my wife left me that I figured it couldn't hurt to try.

The guy is real nice, helpful, friendly, and he explained everything to me in an easy way. I'm no Einstein but he made it all easy. He stayed in touch all through the process and answered all my questions, even the dumb ones.

The spell worked out great. Sarah, my wife, came back just as Joshua said. She told me about how she'd started missing me and had made a mistake in leaving, and that all lined up with when Josh cast my spell. We're probably better now than we were before because we both know what its like to be apart.

Recommended would use again, but I hope I never have to!
