### 1/5 — -10 stole my purchase TRASH APP AND DEVELOPERS

*2026-07-23, version 6.2.4*

The built in a fail so you cannot RESTORE your previous purchases. 
Also, it’s trash now … the original app was so much better.

### 1/5 — Useless app. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2026-01-12, version 6.2.4*

I actually paid for this app when it first came out only for it to now be obsolete as developers stopped developing this app. I’ve reinstalled dozens of times and still no luck. Please fix this or just remove from the appstore completely and issue refunds to everyone you guys stole from

### 5/5 — Все хорошо

*2026-01-09*

Ну даже глупым можно разобраться

### 2/5 — Knows my iPad somehow

*2026-01-05, version 6.2.4*

I was scrolling through the App Store a 30 minutes ago, and saw this I thought it was a fonts thing and I said “oh! I’ve had it? But I don’t remember it,” 
Later I remembered recently, the AppStore has been thinking “oh, she has downloaded this!” And they put it on my iPad, I have not, just saying it will take your everything saved, because the AppStore stopped that 2 weeks ago and it didn’t say this 3 weeks ago, please make this better Im scared now. 😱

### 2/5 — Can be better

*2025-09-19, version 6.2.4*

I’ve been using this app for years and it works fine for a few days but then crashes. I have to delete and reinstall it to finish my work. A LOT. I am working off a 16 pro max, everything is updated with 1 TB memory. I should NOT be having an issue with this. I hope the developers see this review because this app could be BETTER

### 2/5 — Overall Experience

*2025-07-08, version 6.2.4*

It lacks basic technical instruction which makes it difficult to use.  It does not seem like a complicated app but without basic instructions it worthless.

### 1/5 — -10 stole my purchase TRASH APP AND DEVELOPERS

*2025-06-05, version 6.2.4*

The built in a fail so you cannot RESTORE your previous purchases. 
Also, it’s trash now … the original app was so much better.

### 1/5 — meh.

*2025-04-25, version 6.2.3*

it was great til yall started charging to even remove the watermark. i miss 2013/2014 font candy..

### 3/5 — Still crashing

*2025-01-31, version 6.2.3*

Third time writing a review in about a two year period and there are no fixes to the app crashing and having to delete and redownload to get it to work.  It would be different if it were a free app but I am not going to continue to pay for an app that doesn't work!!

### 1/5 — Rip Off

*2025-01-22, version 6.2.3*

Purchased this app in July 2017 to “unlock everything”. Now, they have switched to a weekly subscription fee and when I try to “restore purchases”, the app crashes. I get new subscribers would sign up and accept the TOS to use this app, but the fact that I am not grandfathered in is greasy. Don’t waste your time on this app.
