Calligraphy Handbook User Reviews

Top reviews

An everyday app

Love to practice on here. Works well. Save a tree and practice here.

Love it

It’s a little clunky but I like the fonts and the practice sheets.

Exactly what you need

I’ve tried a ton of calligraphy apps and there all for people who already know calligraphy or are just bad for mat so for being a complete beginner on calligraphy this app works great

Great tutorial

Awesome practice.

Brush performance needs improvement

The app is very good in all ways, except for the very important aspect of the brush performance. I am using a 1st gen iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil and almost every letter has at least one stroke ruined by the brush lagging and then snapping back. If this were addressed, it would be an easy 5 star app.

Fun app!

Enjoy using this app very much. It’s really a great tool to practice calligraphy writing.

Needs sample brush strokes

There are a few places where I can’t figure out exactly how to create the stroke they show. It would be helpful if there was an option to view how it’s done.

Not Free

You know what I hate? I hate apps that claim to be free and a few days later, everything is locked with purchase messages! That is the case with this app. Why not tell people what the charge is up front rather than bait and switch tactics. This may very well be a good app but I wouldn't know because I never really had the opportunity to try it before it locked!

This Is The One

You know how you download a bunch of apps looking for the one that’s going to work best and then delete all the ones that did not work… well, this is the one you’re going to keep. How it works: It allows you to first trace the letters and then leaves you to do it without tracing. The challenges help you get precise because you’re being graded and if you get the letter wrong, it resets until you’ve got it down. It also shows you several different styles and it teaches you how different angles of the quill, or calligraphy pen, affect the letter. It is worth the money.

Nice

The only problem is I can’t change pen colors can someone tell me how or can someone on the app fix it please
