Damn good

This app is awesome, great to practice with, I feel guilty that I spend more time on this app. Great collection of font styles. Worthy of purchasing if you got the calligraphy bug.

Great app if you are precise

I’ve been doing calligraphy for 40+ years. This is a great app for beginners and intermediate writers. The one drawback, IMO, is that the app grading is ridiculously exacting. I like to deviate, just a bit, to make my letters more “me.” With this app, creative flair is stifled. Also, if I want to get the letters for a certain words, the caps and lowercase letters are listed as different fonts, so I cannot practice someone’s name, for example. Very frustrating.

I do love this app for practicing my calligraphy, though. It is so nice to be able to erase mistakes on the screen! :) IRL, calligraphy with ink and paper is not very forgiving with mistakes.

This is a great app to learn to write beautifully!

What’s happened?

I spent hours using this app. Gave it a break for a while. Now, it’s full of bugs. Shuts down randomly, without saving current progress; freezes when using the undo feature while setting up words. Great app, lots of fun, but incredibly frustrating to use at the moment.

Wonderful App

I’ve learned so much about Calligraphy. Well worth the upgrade.

Hate This App

Rarely do I write reviews; but today became that day. I got suckered into buying the upgrade and for about $5 all I got was different ink colors. The number one problem I have with the App is my connected fully charged Apple Pencil isn’t working and there’s no troubleshooting or FAQ. The pencil worked for a short while in the beginning and then stopped. I wished before buying the company was clearer on all the upgraded features which I guess is each different ink color counts as an upgrade. The instructions manual is is horrible; very little any clarity for application use or missing information about the different features, and why you would use it over another feature. I guess they expect the user to know all the end and outs of the App through osmosis.

Great app but a small detail missing

A nice touch would be to have the letters actually join up to make words instead of just letters side by side, but it’s still a great app to practice different styles of font

Nothing for lefty users

Booooooooooooooo!

Payant

Tout est dit. Pourquoi une appli apparement gratuite où on peut à peu près rien faire sans payer ?

Paid and happy. Love it THANKYOU

The only reason I paid is because of the reviews. I do have to say never doing calligraphy, and using this best thing to do . I have had it about an hour and can do some of the letters without tracing . Great teaching tool. The challenges are hard , you have to be perfect . I love it. I suggest this to anyone who wants to try this or just get better at handwriting.

Agree Totally

Agree completely that both this and the other app similar are worth it! Best tutorial and practice I’ve seen!!!!
