  • Great app! Limited by Apple’s iOS failures.

    Thanks for making an essential typeface, OpenDys, available on iOS in several fonts! And thanks for putting up with the folks who are frustrated with Apple and put the blame on you. Like OpenDys, this app is a gift to humanity.
  • Doesn’t work on iPhone 11

    Download, folllwed instructions, tried every app I have including Quora, squid news, WhatsApp, messages, gmail, proton mail. Essentially the apps I often need to read or write with, but no dyslexic typeface?? Spent too long searching for ways to get this to work with no results. I’ve used similar on my kindle so I know how well it would work for me which makes this all the more frustrating.

  • You need a browser extension to use this

    To use this on Safari, you need to install a custom font browser extension!
    Without one, it WILL NOT WORK
    After that, works like a charm on webpages.
  • Explain please

    So I downloaded this to help me read and it said it downloaded successfully but nothing changed and someone explain

    I can't control what features Apple chooses to allow for the OS, and Apple does not have a feature that allows changing the system fonts.
  • I wanted this to work

    I really wanted this to work but no matter how hard I tried I could not get it to work for my iPhone. I don’t know what else to do. This is really not worth it on ur iPhone I could not say that for anything else though I have never tried. It might work great on other things but the iPhone is not on that list.

  • Can’t use it on an IPad

    I downloaded the application but it won’t allow me to use the font
  • I wanted this to work

    I use a similar app on my computer, so I was kind of excited to have it on my phone.

    Upon downloading it, I tried to:
    -open and close apps (via “swipe up”) to try and force the font to work
    -tried turning my phone on and off
    -uninstall and reinstall
    -opened Facebook messenger, Apple notes, chrome, systems, texting. None worked.

    Nothing worked. Turned boldness off on the phone, tried a couple other things- nothing.

    I would try one of the other apps, but they seem to be having the same problem

    Fonts can be used in apps that support installed fonts. I can't control what features Apple chooses to allow for the OS, and Apple does not have a feature that allows changing the system fonts. Facebook messenger, Chrome, texting all do not support installed fonts.
  • Ineffective

    I can’t get it to tell me how to even get it to work on anything

  • This works perfectly to read things in something like apple pages

    It seems like there are other options on the App Store that require a payment, don’t bother. This one works perfectly.
  • Works on iPad

    Installed quickly and easy. Now I can use the OpenDyslexic font in my other apps like Notability. No issues.
