There should be some way to use the guidelines with the free version, no matter how limited, or a way to purchase outright. ### 1/5 — Scam app *2022-12-20* I purchased the 2.99/m subscription but the app still shows that I’m not subscribed. I need a refund. ### 1/5 — I should have read the description more carefully *2020-11-28* I have been looking for an app which allows me not only to create my own guidesheets but also use my device to practice. When I found this gudesheet generator I was so excited I didn’t realize the app only generated the guidesheets and didn’t allow me to use my device to practice. A waste of money for me 😔 ### 2/5 — App is only for Copperplate/Spencerian/Roundhand *2022-07-04* I write Spencerian (aka Copperplate or Roundhand,) and this app is sufficient for making guidelines for these. However, I would’ve liked it better if the user would have been allowed to change the slant for italic hands. As it is, the user can only change the slant to 30% or higher. The italic hand uses a 5% to 15% slant, so it’s not useful for that at all. Too bad, as I would’ve found this app extremely useful if that were the case. Nonetheless, I’ll use this app occasionally. ### 3/5 — Good app but.... *2020-08-01, version 10.6.07* Cannot write on practice sheets and dose this app support Apple Pencil, it does say in app info. If this app does not support Apple Pencil the you should say so within the app information. Don’t think the app is worth £1.99 if I can’t write or practice calligraphy on the practice sheets. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2022-09-10* What a great app to create handwriting/penmanship/cursive writing blank practice sheets from plain printer paper. It’s totally able to adjust page sizes, x- height, and even spaces between practice lines—allowing different sizes of writing. Well worth the price. Very pleased that I found this app. Highly recommended for students and adults alike! Handwriting says a lot about the person. Columbus Ohio U. S. ### 5/5 — Useful *2022-04-04* I like the app, but I can’t seem to save the last one that I did. I’m having a problem with this app. While I’m picking out the colors that I want to use, the whole thing dies down. This keeps happening. Something must be wrong with the app. ### 5/5 — A lifesaver! *2022-01-20, version 10.8.08* This is fantastic for pointed pen guidelines! I would love to see broad nib options included and an option for changing line width, but it is so easy to use and saves me so much time not having to create guidelines myself that I can’t complain. ### 5/5 — Wow *2021-09-13* Countless hours of ruler, pencil and tedium - gone. Replaced with a few quick clicks in this app. Nice! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works *2020-09-26* Please remove the branding info on the footer, people using this are likely not selling the paper maybe do than on a free version ### 5/5 — Good, but doesn’t support copperplate. *2020-06-09, version 10.6.07* Does t support copperplate ratio of 3:2:3. So you can’t have ascender and descender lines of 1.5 x X height. Unless I’m missing something? Thanks for so quickly updating the app! 1.5 x height now supported. Great app, easy to use. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Look no further *2020-01-21, version 10.1.15* This is an excellent app, simple to use, has all the features you will need for printing custom size template paper to suit your style. Great for using as a trace guide when using an led light box. ### 5/5 — Great for Practice Sheets *2020-01-16* Easy to adjust lines. Lots of options for practice papers. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
