  • Buggy, but irreplaceable

    FondFont makes actual font installation on iPad actually possible. For that, it gets 4 stars. The usual possibilities for font installation are confined to the Apple walled garden. With FondFont, you *can* install your own fonts. This said, the process is quite a kludge. You must be patient with larger fonts (+1mb), as the process requires FondFont to send a font to the OS boxed up as a configuration file, then go through the labourous iPad/iOS password process. This is generally good, as it ensures some security for these configs. But it may need several tries to get the font accepted, as iOS doesn’t leave much time for the package to wait for your ok. Have the “VPN & Device” section of “General” in Settings open as you install fonts. Just try a few times. If the font is good, you can get it done, even for very large fonts. Thank you to the dev who maintains this project. 多謝。

  • Refund please

    Rating: ZERO. Cryptic instructions on how to download fonts. Can’t use it ! Worthlessssssssss!
  • Lame!

    Doesn’t work.
  • Bad

    Don’t buy it
  • Total waste of money.

    I can't even download fonts on this app. What a waste.
  • Works well IF you can figure out how

    This app needs some instructions! Fortunately found a site that showed me how to do this...
    1) airdrop a .ttf or .otf file onto my iPAD,
    2) select “FondFont” to open it with, and it adds it to the FondFont, library.
    3) select each font you want and hit “install”, it will launch some dialogue windows that you have to allow and then close.
    4) Go to Settings, General, Profiles, select the font, then install and follow dialogue windows.

  • Wasted my dollar.

    Refund, now.
  • I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!

    There is no support on how to even use this and no fonts I can use and I want my money back so I can delete the app and not have it take up space on my phone!!!!!
  • Fontalicious!

    The app works very well, despite the reviews, you just have to figure out how. You also have to supply your own fonts.

    My one issue is that there is no support for Touch/Face ID so every time you install a font you have to enter your password. I just got a new phone and none of the fonts I previously installed were restored. So I guess an option for iCloud/iTunes backup would be nice.
