I haven't used it yet but I went thru it to see what it could do and not do, I knocked it down. !!ads!! take up need space for enlargement and will bump you off to their ad! and because it doesn't have an elegant true calligraphy, and when some are enlarged the print will not center and go off screen*** if someone wants larger sizes they can use a tablet enlarge letters, then put on copier and enlarger to the size you want. Other than the above issues..if the ads slow down I might keep it.
I would like it more if the lock disappears until you press a KEY not the screen. Also make it so you don't keep sliding the top phone menu down while moving. And lock the screen so it doesn't accidentally switch views and reset!! Would like to see the percentage we used so we can resize the pic again if needed.
love this app! lots of fonts to choose from. easy navigating and it lets you see the words you want as you look through them. easy file sharing as well as making your screan lock in place and the screen can get really bright so tracing is easy. Makes tracing easy so you can quickly draw up a stencil.
We want more editing possibilities, screen size usage, and UI features soon, and would find it useful to trace with, and then it will just do better while operating as much more for us all.
Wierd controls and functionality, not a very good dashboard, but finally an app with a half-decent selection of fonts.
needs more fonts lol...and less ads. other than that it is really helpful with hand lettering and calligraphy for beginners just learning the angles and curvature
Good but could use some improvement like better size manipulation and ability to delete fonts. Most of the default ones I know I won't use and rather free up the space.
This app is awesome! It takes my crafts to entire new level with all these different style fonts!! From painting, wood burning and more they always have just the font I'm looking for ♥️
Would've rated 5 stars but ads ruin any tracing as lining it up again correctly isn't easy. (after accidentally opening the ad)
While there's some pretty cool fonts, this app is very basic, minimal options and there's no instructions, no back or erase option. Very blah
Great fonts, be sure to check the settings and allow storage of fonts. Check in settings in app or nothing will stay
The fonts are ok, but no way to really use it and no tutorial or information. Very frustrating!
I was looking for an app that able to create font from scratch. This is not one of them. However, its a good app showing many style of font.
Very easy to use and understand the different options when doin lettering also helpful in aiding in making stencils by reversing the pattern n also enlarging it gr8 app
Loved the app but lately everytime I open the app and try to edit text for any font the app closes. I have Uninstalled and reinstalled but it made no difference
Really great app! Lots of choices, easy to navigate. Keep adding fonts please!!
new update is PERFECT. thank you so much for fixing the editing issue. this is exactly what I've been looking for!
Wow, this app are just awesome. I've made a Rustic/Farmhouse tray and now I can create and add some coffee names to it to make it look like the real deal. Thanks!!!!!!👌🏼👍🏼
I do tattoos out my home and I haven't found a better app to use to get different fonts then this one
It's amazing, I only wish it were easier to type word you're changing style on first thing top and center
This one of most creative apps ive encountered, it keeps my freetime all filled up. Love love love this app!!!
I can't get the fonts small enough for my needs. In fact, most sizes don't fit the screen.
Very cool and simple. Great way to explore font types.
Love this app. It did exactly what i needed and the fact the screen locked i thought was awesome.
Well i love using the app to trace things. But i cant use any of the fonts I downloaded! 3 stars
Problems with sizing but other than that works great. Pinning it helps from losing your place
Worst app I've ever downloaded, and there's multiple apps that are exactly the same.as this that do absolutely nothing the description says
Wonderful app, But it is what it says only fonts you can't add your own pics or anything else.
I used to love this app, but the ads every 30 seconds are ridiculous! The only thing you can do here that stands out, is trace letters in the font of your choice. But you can do that on any font site by typing your letters, saving the image, and tracing it instead. I'm uninstalling, because the pop up full page ads & no option to purchase ad-free are a dealbreaker. I'm not putting up with that while trying to scroll and find a font I like from their limited selection. It's too bad, it was great.
