I've used it off and on for a while. Have not yet given 1.5 a full trial, but it has some new features and fixes that I'd been waiting for.
As a JPG tool, Affinity photo used to be a bit of a PITA in that it did not remember export settings. You had to set everything every time, even if you wanted to do a bunch in a row with the exact same settings.
In 1.5, Affinity Photo now remembers export settings and they've also added a batch processing feature (although haven't yet tried that).
Overall, Affinity Photo is very capable, and with every update it's getting closer and closer to being a truly viable Photoshop replacement for professional use. And at a much lower price.
