Good but some bugs and suggestions
It is pretty thorough with a lot of hand (font) options. They’re beautiful and pretty easy. But there are certain things like making a nice serif that’s tricky. It would be nice if it had a little video on each letter and hand. Also, like the L, at the end where it ticks up and thicken on the right, how can I do that with a digital pen? Or even a calligraphy pen & nibs without changing nibs?
Initially, it started great but then the app keeps registering my stroke and stops halfway and the whole page shifts instead. Maybe it’s my pen’s battery?
I love that it’s free with possible upgrades. One thing I can’t stand are very limited apps for a free trial.
Definitely worth a try!

In app purchases
In app purchases are the leading cause for all simple apps to lose download potential from users. Unless your app is super amazing. Which it isn’t. Not worth the download unless it was free
Amazing!
I just started and so far this app is great! I’m basically transitioning to goth and I kinda want to be able to do calligraphy. I saw another app like this and I thought it looked cool, so I got it … but it wanted me to pay to do it so obvi, I did not continue it. I started looking for another app like it and found this so, I got it, and I’m resaying or what ever the word is, so far this is great.

Great for getting started
I’m relatively new to calligraphy and wanted an app that would allow me to practice without spending all the money on equipment and paper until I felt more comfortable. Perfect for practice
Usability
Clunky.
I like it, does have some bugs (update 2)
* free version is basically just a sample and you’re not going to get much out of it, there is a small (under $5) one time charge to use the app as intended. No ads, no subscription, no endless series of in-app purchases.
* variety of fonts, many many color options, some nice extras
* I strongly recommend reading the user’s guide in “getting started”, there’s a lot that the app has to offer that won’t be obvious without it
* I was basically just looking for somewhere where I could make letters calligraphy-style, without the wide side of the “pen” changing directions on me unexpectedly. So, obviously this app met that expectation but it also went way beyond it. And I thought I’d enjoy myself but I wasn’t expecting to enjoy myself this much. I downloaded this app maybe two days ago and have been using it more than I’ve been doing anything else other than sleeping.
* the “words” section is prone to crashing, so don’t put a lot of effort into that section if you’re new to the app. When you use it more you get a sense of what causes it to crash and can usually avoid it crashing at bad times and losing your creations.
* I don’t think I’ve had it crash when making art directly from “layers gallery” or “stencils models”. I enjoy tracing the lettrines (extra fancy letters) a lot. For some reason I can’t figure out you can get a grid or lines in that part of the app, but not the same sorts of lines you get in the practice sections of the app which is just weird imo.
* This isn’t a shiny subscription based app with perfect function and new features all the time. It’s more like the early apps. Personally I think that’s a good thing.
* it’s been idk a month and I still spend maybe an hour or two every day on this. Very calming.

Excellent app
It’s a pretty good app. I can learn the structure of different letters.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I really enjoy it… when it works.
It’s full of bugs and will shut down randomly all the time. Wish I could use it consistently, because the designs and format is all fantastic.
Great Calligraphy app.
I have been searching for a good calligraphy app for a long time. I finally found this ,I am so pleased now.
It starts you at the very beginning ( you know when you had to practice a letter & a page at a time)
For anyone looking to improve or discover calligraphy, this is a great app.

Nice they are checking
I heard from customer service, great by the way, and they let me know you can type the word in so you can learn to write sentences. Cool I did not know that.
Damn good
This app is awesome, great to practice with, I feel guilty that I spend more time on this app. Great collection of font styles. Worthy of purchasing if you got the calligraphy bug.
Great app if you are precise
I’ve been doing calligraphy for 40+ years. This is a great app for beginners and intermediate writers. The one drawback, IMO, is that the app grading is ridiculously exacting. I like to deviate, just a bit, to make my letters more “me.” With this app, creative flair is stifled. Also, if I want to get the letters for a certain words, the caps and lowercase letters are listed as different fonts, so I cannot practice someone’s name, for example. Very frustrating.
I do love this app for practicing my calligraphy, though. It is so nice to be able to erase mistakes on the screen! :) IRL, calligraphy with ink and paper is not very forgiving with mistakes.
This is a great app to learn to write beautifully!

What’s happened?
I spent hours using this app. Gave it a break for a while. Now, it’s full of bugs. Shuts down randomly, without saving current progress; freezes when using the undo feature while setting up words. Great app, lots of fun, but incredibly frustrating to use at the moment.
Wonderful App
I’ve learned so much about Calligraphy. Well worth the upgrade.
Hate This App
Rarely do I write reviews; but today became that day. I got suckered into buying the upgrade and for about $5 all I got was different ink colors. The number one problem I have with the App is my connected fully charged Apple Pencil isn’t working and there’s no troubleshooting or FAQ. The pencil worked for a short while in the beginning and then stopped. I wished before buying the company was clearer on all the upgraded features which I guess is each different ink color counts as an upgrade. The instructions manual is is horrible; very little any clarity for application use or missing information about the different features, and why you would use it over another feature. I guess they expect the user to know all the end and outs of the App through osmosis.

Great app but a small detail missing
A nice touch would be to have the letters actually join up to make words instead of just letters side by side, but it’s still a great app to practice different styles of font
