CharMap User Reviews

Top reviews

Almost everything’s good, but there is a problem:

Some of the characters I added in my collections were still there in the app but when I used the CharMap keyboard in other apps some of the characters were omitted.

Thank You

I wrote several game books using the Unicode characters that this app enabled me to easily access.

I used the APL glyphs and combining accents to write messages in my own custom emoji language. And the variety of standard Unicode math typefaces are always available for messages.

And I keep any math symbols and logic language symbols handy. Great for computer science students or engineers.

The box and line drawing glyphs are also nice to keep handy with this keyboard system on iPhone or iPad.

Excellent product. I really appreciate it.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the positive review! As of version 4.1, you can change the display font used to render characters. To choose a new font, go to “Settings > Advanced > Character Display Font” and choose a font from the list of installed fonts.

Cool

I get lots of characters

Smooth!

So effective!

No ads No purchases

There are no ads and no purchases. It just works.

There’s something missing 🥹

I want to type math equations with this app. Instead of writing “𝑏^x”, I want to write it to look different. So, what is missing? The symbol “raised to the power of x” is missing. I can type “𝑏²” but not “𝑏 ^x” in a shorter mathematical form. I actually like this app so far, but the dapper is that missing symbol. I would have given five stars. 😮‍💨

I love it! A review and a request:

It’s great, it works well, you can add a favorites bar, the important things are easier to find, and it’s free!!! I’m leaving a review, contrary to my strict “no leaving reviews rule” because I don’t like that it’s not 5 stars. Doesn’t make sense to me, it deserves 5 stars. Maybe older reviews bring the rating down.

If I could ask for these: ⁵⁶⁷₆₆₅ but in letter, equation, and inequality form so I can use them for combinatorics and calculus that would be fabulous!

Big issue

It has the same problem as the other custom keyboard apps. Each character is individually formatted to be either (Left to Right) or Right to Left).
It becomes a mess if you're switching between alphabet regularly.
An option would be ideal.

Can you make it so we can use fonts in "Unicode"

This app is wonderful! It's geniunely the best unicode keyboard

I've been searching for a good symbol keyboard for ages now and I'm geniunely flabbergasted by the amount of effort the dev put into charmap!! It has no in-app purchases. Unlike the other apps, it's not asking me to subscribe in the first 5 minutes of opening the app & it's actually functional and clean!!! It looks and feels JUST like an official app honestly. It's completely free and it honestly shouldn't be given how much work the dev put into the app. just.. don't make it mandatory because I'm still broke haha-

Best Character Viewer Keyboard

Great interface on iPad. The most intuitive character viewer custom keyboard I’ve tried.

But, given the preliminary font manager feature, it would be nice to see the app implement the custom font API to replace apps like iFont or Fontinator.

what to do

so when i play this game and made a new collection called “Ruzi's Library” (a library of latin + latin like letters). and the next thing i did is make AC (another collection) called “R.L. (Junicode Font) the next day i fast ly deleted Ruzi’s library instead of R.L. (JF). what can i do to recover it?

Superscript - a follow up

All sorted, my mistake with the previous comment.
Thanks to the Developer for correcting my misunderstandings.

updated to 4.0 - everything’s GONE

i updated to the new 4.0 version and everything is GONE. all my Collections have disappeared. the app doesn’t even open. i restarted my phone and everything, but still NOTHING.

Works really well

useful for me as a further maths student, i can create a collection of symbols which is helpful for explaining and asking questions to others without taking photos of everything. a search for character option in the app would be nice as some symbols are in different sections (how unicode arranges them). i assume the people complaining can’t follow simple instructions on adding it to the keyboard, same as other keyboard apps

GOOD!

Thank you for fixing the problem, now i can type nearly everything! You missed some parts like Cherokee extended and Cyrillic extended C, and a few cyrillic and latin letters, but apart from that, this is one of the best unicode apps ever!

Amazing!

I was able to make an alphabet using major letters from other ones. You might need to search the name of the alphabet for some instead of the language (Sanskrit will not work). I wish there was a better font for the Runic characters or all of the characters being the same font, but I’ll take what I can get. Also there should be a method of searching the character names rather than the alphabet. I was surprised to see some Alchemy symbols too, nice touch.

Great app with minor issue.

This app is lovely! It looks great, works great, and the customization is super easy. However, the only issue I found is that it works perfectly fine most of the time but in some apps, Instagram for example, the keyboard just looks like a big white rectangle, and none of the symbols are visible. Am i doing something wrong?

Simple but good

This is a nice simple app. However I can’t work out how to search by character name. I think that each Unicode character actually has a name, which would be useful to use to search. For example there is a Unicode character that looks like a chest night but I can’t find it with this app.I guys thanks for your
