Seriously, MacUpdate! The current version is 1.10.6 (six, not five). OK?

V1.10.6 is out. "Bug fixes and stability improvements." It's essentially an update specific to macOS 10.13 Ventura but backwards compatible.

I tried and tested Affinity. Awful piece of software. Don't be fooled looking at their smooth razor sharp photos jumping right into your eyes. Functions, features are scattered all over the place. They make it look as "top-of-the-line" application, really making an impression, creating a "glamour" effect using silky smooth black background, making it look alluring and exciting....but it is all Smoke. It's an illusion, to fool and blind the user, a smoke of cheap effects. SWIFT PUBLISHER beats affinity in everything: ease of use, in logical placements of every tool and features. Many features in affinity are repeated all over the place under different names, again to fool you, to make it look "sophisticated". In fact, it is far from being so. In addition affinity is also very very slow. SwiftPublisher is definitely The Best and so far has no competition. Don't waste your time. You might get a cheap euphoria effect when using A. in the first couple days, but I can guarantee you'll get disappointed after that. Affinity will get you nervous for many different reasons. SWIFT Publisher is also a much better value for your money.

This is the alternative to Indesign, a pro publishing tool.
I think it's the most underrated among cheap publishing apps.
People complain about its complexity should not use it.
It's a PRO tool, not an armature tool, a pro tool for an armature price.
Do not take its purpose wrong.
