This is why subscription software is not a good idea.
What if the software is part of your workflow? Sorry.

Yep, no more keeping an old machine around with old software just in case you need to work on old projects. Just tell your customer sorry, you have to pay to have everything created again from scratch.
Before Pixelmator for iPad came out, I found Photogene much more robust and a lot easier to use. Photoshop Touch didn't even get the basics right.
I'm going to be naiavly optimistic and hope that this is because a version that rivals Windows and OS X versions is coming to iPad (launching with the iPad Pro).
I'll see myself out.

Who cares? Procreate is the ultimate drawing, retouching and editing app on the iPad.

I love the iPad, but without a proper pen like the surface has (or Wacom tablets have), doing serious art with any precision on the iPad is questionable.
Its OK because we now have alternatives. DUUUUUUDE, I'm just waiting for the day that Serif's Affinity apps get ported over to iPad, and full working apps. Not no half baked crap Adobe keeps testing with. Adobe, go get yourself a new job already. BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! 
Oh yeah man! Procreate is great. But you know what... I love it more on the iPhone! I use it with my Jot Mini and just doodle out ideas as they come out, so great.
I have heard all good things about pixlemator. I am waiting for it to go on sale again and will jump in. Maybe Apple does something with Photos that will address Aperture users, but for what I do, pixlemator may just be the tool for me.
As for Adobe - no thanks.
Hey try something like the touch screen tablets coming out from Huion. Huion has a touch screen line up that includes a pressure sensitive pen and has express buttons on the side. look for the GT-185HD as its new model. I'm holding out on maybe a larger 22 - 29 inch model but I've seen good reviews on a iPad replacement touch screen. Instead of using apps like Duet and AstroPad you can just draw directly on the Huion touch screen in the native apps on OS X or Windows.
Great program, but I cannot stand the lack of an application frame. How is it they are still requiring us to deal with floating windows?
You do realize this is about the iPad app and not the Mac version, right?
Their attitude toward this app matches their attitude toward desktop Photoshop:
"We already HAVE your money! We should we give up some of that money actually fixing/improving things?"
I pay Adobe a ton every year, NOT for quality software (which they used to offer and I loved it). No, I pay almost ENTIRELY for the privilege of exchanging files with OTHER Photoshop users. We're all miserable, bugs linger, new features are gimmicks, the installer/updater/anti-piracy junk clogs your Mac and makes your Guest account throw up errors... and we're all paying just for file compatibility.
Way to build loyalty.
Also, I have to say, I thought PS on iPad was a really nice app. Either for edits in a pinch when my laptop is away, or as a companion to Procreate. (But Procreate has since gained more layers power, and stands alone better these days.)
Ah, well, they got my $10.

Well, I usually open it when I'm trying to do something right at that moment, and then I always run into a bug within five minutes and have to come up with another idea. So I'm not sure yet.
I decided long ago never to invest any time or energy into anything from Google or Adobe. Every time I read a news story like this - and that's fairly often - I pat myself on the back for that decision.
$30 for the Mac app, and $10 for the iPad app that's already a sale price! Tremendous value for those small prices.
Same reason I'm not going anywhere near a Microsoft subscription. Think of what a crappy job these companies did when they were dependent on users to pay to upgrade their software. Is it really surprising that their service and support will become infinitely worse when the revenue is locked in?

I wonder if Tim Cook uses the Numbers app to crunch data at Apple. I have a feeling they don't do much dog-fooding when it comes to productivity apps.
