App force quits

Anytime while doing words for example and you choose a caps letter then switch to a lowercase letter it just closes the app completely which is ridiculous seeing as how I paid for the app. I have u uninstalled and reinstalled still doesn’t work right! It happens bile doing other things as well and you really should give some instructions for the freehand writing for when it doesn’t force quit! Fix the dang issue or refund money and make this app free if it’s going to force quit for 50% of the app!

I paid for this app only for it to continuously crash

I like the concept of this app, however, it will not stay open. I paid for this app and am so sick of it crashing every 3 minutes. This needs to be fixed and I would like my money back. Thank you

Get this app, it’s great!

I’ve been interested in calligraphy since childhood and used up reams of paper back then practicing. I recently wanted to get started again and wondered if there is an app - there are! This one is, by far, the very best. Easy to use, lots of hands, and the price is incredibly low.

If you’re interested in calligraphy, don’t hesitate. Get this app and try it (it’s free to try!). Be warned, however, this is highly addictive! You’re going to have good penmanship!

Practically unusable

You can get better practice material by googling free calligraphy worksheets. The description of the app leaves out that after the initial purchase you need to make additional purchases to unlock features.

Life saver

I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found this app. It seriously calms me down and helps me get used to how the pencil on my iPad Pro works. I love the app and I wouldn’t change anything about it. It simple, meditative, and soothing. I suggest anyone whether they know calligraphy or not try this is you have anxiety. It really works. Also a great DBT skill package if you think about it. This app helps you practice mindfulness, distraction, and probably a couple others I’ve missed. You go developers!!

Better than using Procreate

I’ve had a go at using Procreate to do calligraphy where you use pressure to effect a thin or thick line but it’s very difficult to get the hang of when you’re used to using a calligraphy pen, where the angle of the nib does this job. This app is much more like the experience of using a calligraphy pen to write. I love the effect it gives.

Love it

This app is wonderful, it walks you through perfectly for a beginner or you can dive in if you've studied before. I've been looking to study calligraphy for years, and I'm tired of plain cursive. I've had everything I need for a long time but didn't have enough knowledge to execute the letters correctly. I'm a visual learner and I've learned more on this app in 5 mins than I have reading books I had to pay for. I need to get an apple pen because my little tablet pen isn't working as good as it could be, but I am so excited to keep learning and finally be able to write in my book of shadows and have it look beautiful. Thank you so much for this app!

About time I find it

It’s pretty cool it’s what I’ve been looking for.

Love this

Very useful for me and it’s fantastic!

Lacking just one thing.

Oh wow, I am so glad I found this app! I first learnt the joys of calligraphy many years ago but am so out of practice. Came across this app while searching for apps to put on my new iPad, as did a few others which I tried but quickly deleted after I realised how good this one is. Only one complaint I have is that I have three favourite styles that I would rather practice on over any of the others so I would find the ability to ‘favourite’ the ones I really wanna do so I don’t have to search through to find a particular one when I’ve forgotten the name of it. If the developer reads this and can add this feature I would love it even more!
