Do not buy

I bought this app because I figured it would help with my reading. I like the ruler tool a lot. However, it doesn’t scan correctly any of the texts. There is no trial period. $40 absolutely wasted and the way they advertise it you just see it as 0.77 per week. They don’t tell you that you’re forced to buy it the whole year. The scan text does not work because it mixes words together and doesn’t match at all what’s in the textbook. The last paragraph of my textbook was the first line in the scanner.

Do not buy. It’s literally my biggest regret of a purchase. I have never written a review before but I’m literally writing one right now because of how upset I am about the scanner to text not working. That’s the whole reason why I bought the app, and the one feature I wanted to work did not work at all.

DO NOT GET THIS APP.

Hello Suppppw, I'm sorry to hear this — especially since this is your first review ever, I know something really went wrong. I'd like to understand exactly what happened so I can improve it. On the scan: text getting mixed up or reordered usually comes from the photo angle, lighting, or a curved page, but if it happened consistently for you, I'd like to look into it properly. Could you reach out through the in-app support (Settings > Contact) with a couple of the photos you used? That will help me see exactly why the recognition failed on your textbook. On the pricing: you're right, there's no free trial on the yearly plan. I understand the weekly price display made that less clear upfront — that's useful feedback, and I'd like to know what would have made it clearer for you before you purchased. Thank you for taking the time to write this, even though it was out of frustration — it genuinely helps me improve the app. Michaël

So far… Not so good

The way it’s described once you install this it will work on your existing text message, platform, browser, etc.… So far the only thing it works on is everything that you want to see and read you have to copy and then paste and then read it on this app so now it creates several extra steps, which means I have a 100% chance of not using it and something that I thought that I had found to make reading easier is now 100% unusual… But while it’s not usable in any way form for me at least the developer got their $39.99 well I got something that was unusable

OpenDyslexic Font is amazing

As an elementary teacher anything I can do to help my students is worth it and this font is so easy to use. Love Love Love

Super. Helpful

I’ve been using this font for years it got me through school and my career in more ways then one.

Hello longtalk, Thank you for sharing that — knowing this font has been with you through school and your career is exactly why I built it. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. Michaël

Do NOT BUY

I have a 2022 MacBook Pro, 2023 iPad Pro, and an iPhone 15. I have tried to use this app as well as the harry potter font from this creator and neither of them work. Do NOT waste your money.

cool

this is cool

SUCKKKKS

They don't tell you what your paying for. Why have it on the apple store if it doesn't work for all apple products. WASTE OF MONEY!!!

No

It on worked IN APP nowhere else. Not god when youre trying to idk do you diploma.

not currently working in any format.

I took a chance paying for the app would make I work more seamlessly and as of right now it does not work at all. Multiple installations. Multiple approach to different documents. It simply does not work. We really need this font easily useable. Do not fund apps that do not work.

Response from developer

Hello Doug Notfunnyatall, I want to be clear about what OpenDyslexic actually does, because I think that's the root of the frustration: it can't replace your iPhone/iPad's system font everywhere — iOS doesn't allow third-party apps to do that. What it does is let you use the OpenDyslexic font inside a specific set of apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Office 365), inside this app itself for writing text or generating images, and in Safari via the built-in extension (enable it in Settings > Safari > Extensions > OpenDyslexic). You can also import or scan PDFs and documents right in the app — it runs OCR to bring the text into OpenDyslexic automatically, for free. I'm sorry the scope wasn't clear before you bought it — that's genuinely useful feedback, and I want the store listing to make this clearer. Michaël

Thank you!

I am incredibly grateful for the accessibility of this app and the open dyslexic font - it makes a world of difference for me!

Finally!!!!

A font I can read!!!!! I wish I knew I was dyslexic when I was a child! I believe it would have changed my life. My parents were big readers. I noticed I had a hard time reading when I was 4-5. It wasn’t until I saw this font in OPEN Dyslexia I realized I was dyslexic all my life!!! I’m 55 years old. I did very well despite dyslexia. But I can only image if I had been diagnosed earlier I would understand why I had such a difficult time reading! Thank you soooooo much!!!! 💕

Hello Majo1969, Thank you for sharing something so personal — I'm really moved that seeing this font helped you understand something about yourself after all these years. I'm glad you found it, even later than you'd have liked. Michaël

Does not work outside of the app

Do not waste your money on this. It doesn’t work. It is a rip off.

Game changer!

Game changer for my severe Dyslexia

Hello IMFelis, Thank you — hearing it's a game changer for you means everything. Michaël

OpenDyslexic on Mac

I paid for the app but can find no way to use it. The dialog box that pops up tells me the font has been installed on my machine but it doesn't show up in the font list. No search finds it either. I have paid for something I cannot seem to use. If I could see the font file, I could deal with it but a search for OpenDyslixic just returns the app and we go round the loop again. It's not joined up. A pity.

The sad truth (Please view if you are the developer)

I don’t want the developer to feel bad, but this app is kind of confusing. In settings it shows all 13 fonts, but how do I use them? I am really thinking that it's not using the fonts at all. But i guess you can create a dyslexic-friendly image by typing… non-dyslexic friendly letters? So please let you use the font on your keyboard. I could buy BTD6 with this money :(

Nothing works

Not sure why I just spent $4, literally nothing works

What a Scam

It only allows you to type in the app in the font, not read documents or anything like that

Thank you !!!!

Thank you guys !

Great idea

This is a great idea only I cant get the font installed to use in pages. Typically installing fonts is super easy.

Great for iPhones, not great for Mac

I have recently purchased this to use on my Mac as I have found this font really helpful. However, after purchasing the app, I can't seem to use the font in Pages. I have been able to use it on my iphone, but for work I have been unable to open it up

I have therefore asked for a refund on this product as I can't use it how I had intended
