I almost paid the upgrade in the first minute. But I looked harder
I wanted something to try out ideas for a new script style without wasting the paper. This is simple, responsive, and appropriately priced. I expect developers to be paid, so paywalls don’t bother me even when I wouldn’t place them the same way- we can’t all agree. And I was glad to see this developer offered a reasonable one-time price. The ads interrupted my second stroke, and continued to be intrusive. But I thought the functionality was there and was willing to pay to make the ads stop.
I double checked the reviews because the rating overall was low. That’s ok some of my favorite apps got some early reviews that they couldn’t shake for a while.
Then I saw the developer had a lot of apps. More than others I’ve seen. And they’re similar. Ok, that’s smart- reuse your code and make more variety. But I looked at several and they all had bad reviews.
That and the last update was 2 years ago. Not that you have to update something that works, but I’ve no reason to believe the developer will keep the app working.
It’s the only the first handwriting I looked at though, so I may come back to it.

Not my favorite
I like the app but everything is money! I think it would be a good app if not everything was money. There are only 4 brushes you can use and you have to go back to the start of the game to choose a different brush every time, which is really annoying. If it didn’t cost money to use anything I would love it, but almost everything costs money on the app.

No apparent way to change angle of nib.
I find this app useless with no way to adjust the nib angle.
My grandads Nokia has better quality 📞👴🏼😡
This is a bad app do you have to pay to get Colour and it’s glitchy and you have to pay for everything the only thing you get for free is actually downloading the app.Honestly,I would rate it 0 stars if I could , seriously it seems like it hasn’t been updated since 2014 not joking. Don’t waste your time with this app .

Charged too much
Update:
I already paid for this app 3 years ago for the full upgrade. I was overcharged at the time. Now I open the app and it is trying to charge me again. I hit “restore purchases” and it still wants to charge me for an upgrade. I already paid for it once. This is the second time I report this app to the Apple Store. Scam.
Previous Review:
In app purchase says $1.99 to purchase this app. I was charged $2.99. Reporting to Apple Store.

Sorry to hear you are having issue with our app, we are looking into this now. Please email us directly if you have any questions about your purchase. Sincerely abecedaire Team
Bad business
I bought and paid for this app. Later on and just because I was using it, I was asked to pay again! Greed is wrong !
Don’t waste your time
This app stinks. Everything except the worst brushes cost money. You can’t change the color without paying. Ads pop up nonstop. And two of the four “free” brush options are so thick you can’t even practice calligraphy with it!
kind of weird
the brushes and whatever are alright
there is very limited options to the brushes and pens though
and with that the canvas size is very thin and long and hard to work with
as well as anytime you try to undo something it sends you back to the home screen and gives you an ad, and dosent let you load it back or anything
those are the main problems of it but other than that it’s fine??? i guess it’s alright
it gets 3 stars

Does not save
Also one area of canvas does respond. But this app has been abandoned so my comments are moot.
Huge Let Down 👎
I don’t like judging, but for this I have to be honest: it was awful. It only had one brush with one color. The color didn’t bug me so much, but the brush was terrible. It was so inconsistent, you would TRY to make one line of a letter and it would have bumps, if you did the slightest thing wrong the ‘ink’ would fill the whole screen and you couldn’t make anything. Now the premium version might be better, but I’m not even gonna try.

Awesome
This app is one of the best and easiest to use.
Don’t bother....
Absolutely awful app, can’t do anything without paying for colours or brush thicknesses/styles. Would give zero stars if I could.
Bad ui
UI doesn’t look good
DON’T GET IT
This app is absolutely worthless for $2.99 YES $2.99 - I thought i was getting it for less and i was immediately charged more. You will learn Nothing from this app other than is not worth your money.
So far it doesn’t work
Every time I try and type anything it closes. No matter what button I push. It’s happened 6 straight times. Either money back or fix the issue.
This app is a scam
This app was not helpful if I wanted a sketch pad I would have just used the other apps I have. Please refund my money.
Lame.
I now understand why this app is rated poorly. It’s a waste of time.
Dont waste your time
You have to pay to unlock anything, so the app is useless when free
Don't get!
Unless you do the money upgrade it only let's you stay on one color and one font which is really big.

Hello! Thank you for your input, your review is greatly appreciated. we are constantly improving Calligraphy HD, a new update is coming soon.
Terrible
This is a terrible app. They could have done much better. You have to pay just to switch colour. Also crashed instantly. Disappointed
