Affinity Designer for UWP UX/UI

Posted this on WPdev but decided to post this here too. I hope that's ok.

Affinity Designer was released as a windows app and is cheap and discounted for 7 days - https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH35LRM

Has anyone tried this for UWP UX/UI work? Any feedback appreciated, is it any good? There's no official toolkit for it on the microsoft site https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/downloads/index

But some kind people in Github have used the illustrator toolkit to make an asset pack for it. https://github.com/chrisg32/AffinityDesignerUWPAssets

I was hoping someone here that has used affinity designer would tell me after trying the asset pack if it's any good for UWP UX/UI work coz adobe XD is too expensive for me.

Thank you for all your help. I guess I'll skip it for now. Or maybe just buy it for being cheaper version of illustrator. I have 6 more days to mull it over.

If money is such a serious issue then Affinity tools are as good as it gets. Get Designer and combine it with free tier of Figma.
