So, what do people think of Apple's new Creator Studio?

Do we need yet another subscription service?

@_elena LOL @ “NO is a full sentence” 😅

Too many things are subscription now… it’s just overwhelming!

I’ve heard that Pages and Numbers are unaffected, although there are extra ‘premium’ features added with the Creator subscription. I got this info from a YouTube video, and am yet to investigate it personally, so might be incorrect.

@andycarolan @_elena https://www.apple.com/apple-creator-studio/ some of the pricing questions are covered in the Questions and Answers at the bottom of this page.

@gastonrampersad thank you for pointing this out and HUGE sigh of relief re: my Pixelmator Pro @andycarolan

[tekphloyd@social.lol]

@andycarolan We don’t need no Creator Studio
We don’t need no more subscriptions

@andycarolan

I think: “bye, Apple!”

[ctd@mastodon.social]

@andycarolan I only want Pixelmator Pro on the iPad, so at the moment it looks like a non-starter as I don’t want to pay for all the other apps that I will never use.

@andycarolan Hey, what’s not to love about previously full versions of free apps that came with your system (Keynote, Pages, Numbers, etc.) suddenly becoming lite versions?

And, also, gotta love the icons. Giving Adobe a run for their money there.

Such design.

@andycarolan I don’t need all the things, but I’ll glad Pixelmator Pro isn’t dead. I use that tool often.

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@CTD Yeah, it's an odd bundle. I guess for some it would make sense over buying individual apps.

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@aral Yeah, it's not a great feeling at all.

I'm not here for all these subscriptions... it's wild.

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@justincox Yeah, it's a popular app.

I wonder how many people would find value in all these apps in one sub... it's pretty diverse, but feels like an unnecessary money grab.

@andycarolan Big bag of nopes. To each their own but I got rid of Adobe for Affinity and Da Vinci Resolve and would never go back.

@andycarolan It’s not something I’ll be using let alone need.
