They seem to have removed Affinity from the Mac App Store.

For those who want a lifetime license instead of freemium, Amandine* is similar to Affinity ($30 on Mac Store).

(I have no connection to either app).

* Edit: It's Amadine, not Amandine (my typo)

And if you want just a photo editor, not a vector software, I really recommend Pixelmator Pro. I've had it and Affinity Photo for years, but I find myself sticking with Pixelmator more often than not.

Apple bought Pixelmator. What is it's future?

Becoming free trash like Affinity.

Why would you assume this? None of their other pro apps (Logic, Final Cut, Motion) have done this.
