good but

whenever i try to restore perchases it wouldn’t let me and i still have ads

Terrific way to learn this skill

Challenging and encouraging

Très bonne appli pour démarrer

Très bonne appli pour débuter. Dommage que la page réagisse à la main lorsqu’on utilise le apple pen. La page bouge et se tâche facilement

Brilliant!!

The best calligraphy app thats free with NO ADS !! I’m loving it

Thanks so much to the developers for making this app free xx

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.

Super app

Très bonne appli pour découvrir la calligraphie

Muy malo 😿

Yo e intentado escribir a mano y queda súper horrible 😞 además ay una oposición que es escribir las letras y solo te da un pedacito de espacio para escribir todas las letras del alfabeto y en letra Romana y lo e echo a pura puntería re chiquitita la letra y queda también horrible 😤

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.

Please

Please put the three coloured Ink back in again :(

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.

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.

Good app

* 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. And the sample is likely to give you a sense of whether you’d find paying for the full app worth it.

*It’ll be hard to go back to doing calligraphy with a pen and paper, you don't get an undo feature that way, ha.
* or ink that changes color as you go or does pretty stripes or…

Good app but could be better with some more tools

I found the calligraphy app worth enough for the purpose of learning and practicing calligraphy. It’s interface is clean an clear. The practice guidebook is self content. The practice exercises are presented in graded manner. Exercises cover almost all the essential aspects of calligraphic writing. I think it could be batter with some more helping tools like line and curve controller, auto shape fine tuners, shape tracer and vectoriser etc.

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.

Cagarro Impresionante

Es una porqueria
