### 2/5 — Fix your app

*2026-10-16*

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! It is an absolute nightmare that completely broke my iPhone’s system functionality. I spent hours of hard work designing and creating my own custom font within the app, only for the software to glitch out, lock me out of my files, and refuse to let me export or use my own creation. It literally holds your creative work hostage.
Worse yet, the app installed a broken third-party keyboard extension that completely ruined my iPhone’s native typing system. Once it was activated, the app trapped my phone and would not let me switch back to my normal keyboard. It froze, glitched out, and corrupted my phone's settings, forcing me to deep-clean my iOS settings and do a hard system reset just to get my normal typing back.
This isn't just a poorly made app; it behaves like malware. It ruins your phone's basic settings, destroys user progress, and scams you out of your time. Save yourself the massive headache, stay far away, and do not give this garbage business a single penny. Apple needs to remove this from the App Store immediately.

### 2/5 — Difficult to compare and adjust the font after it’s made

*2026-10-13*

After you create the font, it’s difficult to compare a document written with your font and adjust your font at the same time

### 4/5 — My experience

*2026-10-10*

I love this app so much I made story’s and everything it’s just I don’t know how to actually get on the message app and type but anyways its my 2nd place typing app or keyboard thingy my first is emoji keyboard it’s so fun but I rate this a 4 star experience

### 2/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS

*2026-07-14*

On the last review I wrote, there were some difficulties, but I noticed that when I make a mistake, or misplace a letter, I CAN’T DELETE IT. That made me impatient on this app, so FIX IT NOW.

### 2/5 — It seems ok buttttt

*2026-06-03*

I wrote out every letter (watching a million adds in the process) and then it turns out you can’t even use it for anything if you don’t pay? Like what?! So yeah, unless you plan on paying for it don’t do it

### 2/5 — Ужасссс

*2025-06-14*

всем не советую это приложение !!! Я сделала шрифт а что бы его установить надо платить????

### 2/5 — A lot of it is off.

*2025-05-31, version 1.0.173*

I mean, it scans good, but in auto scan, they put random character in each. And in regular scanning, if you try again, the thickness will increase. And even drawing, they draw straight lines when isn’t selected. Sure, the purpose is to make good fonts, but randomly, messy, and bolder than normal fonts are shown. Always. Also, when erased, the part of the paper lines erased, disappeared. Can you please fix all the issues for me?

### 4/5 — Лялялялялялялялялляляляля

*2025-05-17*

Не очень сканирует текст

### 2/5 — besides the font….

*2025-04-16*

after downloading the app, when i wanted to setup my own handwriting, it asks to have for full access to the keyboard, and a msg comes up: 
“Allow Full Access for
"HandWriting - Hand Writing" Keyboards?
Full access allows the developer of this keyboard to transmit anything you type, including things you have previously typed with this keyboard.
This could include sensitive
information such as your credit card number or street address.”. 
i’m honestly not comfortable letting some random developer have access to anything i type in this keyboard…. creepy! 😬
so i won’t be setting it up…. after i signed up and paid for the week…. 😒

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! That message is shown by Apple for all custom keyboards—it’s standard and not specific to our app. We don’t track, store, or transmit anything you type. Full Access is only needed to apply your custom handwriting in the system keyboard.

### 3/5 — Good but some issues

*2025-03-25, version 1.0.165*

It’s good but you can’t undo or erase anything when drawing so I re-did it a lot. The drawing feature also stopped working half the times but it may just be my old pencil

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2024-11-13*

On the last review I wrote (January 1, 2024), I'd rated this five stars, saying it was the best font maker available for iOS. But something changed between then and November. It keeps trying to make the characters extremely tiny regardless of the drawing method I use, and the size slider does not go far enough to compensate. Completing a font I began before whatever change happened has become impossible. I don't know what happened, but I'm very disappointed.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

### 1/5 — Can’t use font

*2026-09-05, version 1.0.218*

Require premium to use the font

### 1/5 — MAKE EXPORT FREE

*2026-08-04*

dont bother to pay for export

### 1/5 — Stinky

*2026-04-29, version 1.0.208*

Stinky app.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-02-27, version 1.0.202*

Bad

### 1/5 — locked with paywall

*2026-02-06*

It will let you do everything until you want to actually use it. Creating a font with scanning a paper also sucks

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-01-16*

When drawing the letters,the pen ‘jumps’ and makes the letters wonky

### 1/5 — Frustrante

*2025-10-13, version 1.0.186*

Confuso

### 1/5 — Ohne Abo genutzt

*2025-01-08*

Nur mit Abo nutzbar, ohne kaum Funkionen.
Hängt andauernd

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-09*

Lines have weird beginnings in free drawing mode

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2024-10-26*

Making the font in the app is free (with ads), but if you want to actually download and use it, it’s charging $4.99 a week.  That’s ridiculous.  It’s more than a standard Netflix subscription for a font maker.  Seriously, don’t waste your time with this.  There are lots of free font making apps and websites that work just the same without the scam.

### 5/5 — this app makes fonts this app is beautiful

*2024-03-22, version 1.0.125*

fonts Are Created to Hand writing fontmaker

### 5/5 — There it is

*2024-01-02*

At first I'd thought some important options were missing (namely, the ability to export the font file), but I realized I just hadn't found the option yet. I have now.
This is the best font creation app on the app store. The ability to import from images alone allows me to use an image editor that I'm comfortable with, along with other quality-of-life features that I couldn't find in other font maker apps (such as the ability to add nonstandard characters).
I'm going to be using this whenever I need to make a font for a while.

### 5/5 — 👍🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

*2023-07-09*

Очень даже неплохо👍👍👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶. 

Но я думаю что надо бы еще подкорректировать настройку при сканировании(например, сделать настройку размещение как дополнение к настройке размер, чтобы можно было бы выровнять букву после того как определился с размером, а то если я захочу чтоб буква была прям большая, то она куда-то за другие буквы уезжает 🫤)

### 5/5 — Ну норм

*2022-08-01*

Всё ок
