NOT WORTH IT!! **Developer response:** Thanks for you comment. You can upgrade to remove ads :) ### 1/5 — Scam *2021-08-17* You can't practice—no way to use it. I pay for the lifetime. Is no way to access practice pages. Stay away! **Developer response:** Thanks for your comment. This app provides inspiration for calligraphy design ideas. The pro-version of the app unlocks AR camera mode and the possibility to enter your own texts, as clearly stated in the app as well as in the App Store.

The app was just stuck on the loading screen and it will never open for use. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Not actually free! *2026-02-03* Once you start using this app, it’ll try to force you to buy a package to continue. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The app offers both free and premium features. We appreciate your input and will keep working to improve the user experience. ### 1/5 — Lies *2025-11-15* It says it’s free but it isn’t at all **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The app is free to explore, and the subscription unlocks everything. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-08* When I tried to open the app, it gets stuck on the loading screen. **Developer response:** Thanks for your comment. Please contact support at wienelware.nl to get this problem solved! ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-04-13, version 7.8* The app crashed even the second I opened it ### 1/5 — Where’s the calligraphy? *2025-04-13* This app seems like it’s more about cursive handwriting, than calligraphy - unless you pay for the pro version. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The free version focuses on cursive basics — calligraphy styles are included in the Pro version for those who want more :) ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-01-03* Bah que dire à part que cette app est pourrie aucun intérêt tout est payant je ne recommande pas une étoile parce que pas de zéro **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2024-11-10* You literally can’t do anything unless you pay them you can’t even see a preview **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

However, you get a limited number of letters before the ‘please buy to continue’ comes into play. It doesn’t even say in-app purchases! I was not expecting 3/4 of the alphabet and numbers, etc. to be missing. I really wish apps would be honest and upfront and say you have to pay if you want to utilise the package in full. Or ‘we have tasters for you to try for free’. At least you’d know what to expect. And it would be nice if you showed the reviews so people could see them before they download. ### 5/5 — No hace los cambios de letras *2024-05-04, version 6.3* No sirve la aplicación ### 5/5 — I enjoy this *2022-10-19* I enjoy learning this ### 4/5 — Go pro *2023-04-20* It is a really good app but the version of “go pro” doesn’t work . **Developer response:** Thanks for your comment! What exactly does not work for you? Please contact calligraphy [at] wienelware.nl to provide some more info. ### 3/5 — Good app, make it free *2025-03-31* Needs to be free i want to learn :(( **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The app includes free content so you can try it before deciding to buy :) ### 3/5 — App wäre gut aber *2022-03-30* das blinken nervt so hart ### 2/5 — Won’t load *2025-07-12* I have an iPad mini that the app won’t open. It opens to the pink background and never loads. Any help to get it to load. **Developer response:** Thanks for your comment.
