## What is Fontcase?

Fontcase is an app that lets you install custom fonts on iOS and iPadOS.

 1) Import fonts from your iCloud Drive or Dropbox and add them to your collection of favorites.

 2) Tap on any listed font and you'll get a preview of the characters along with other metadata.

 3) When you're done collecting, install your fonts in Settings and they'll be available in other apps, including iWork, to make your documents look better than ever.

 Fontcase is completely open source, so your privacy is insured. The app only adds fonts to your settings and does not modify them at all in the process. For more information on why this is important, see the app's Help tab.

 Enjoy!

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2026-02-10, version 2.0.1*

Title

### 5/5 — A full truck of gratitudes

*2025-12-27, version 2.0.1*

It’s about 6-12 months since I installed your app. I use it to embellish my Obsidian on iPad with new fonts. It wasn’t easy at first, but now the process from downloading to seeing a new font in Obsidian takes about 3 minutes. Thank you for that. It is a really helpful thing, given how hard it is to dance around the whimsy requirements of the OS.

### 5/5 — the only app you need

*2025-11-09, version 2.0.1*

with a size smaller than 1 MB and completely free, this app does exactly what it advertised, shaming the costly and heavy alternatives in the App Store. I tried lots of other apps. This is the one. It’s one of those “will never delete” apps. Thank you devs.

### 5/5 — Funciona muy bien

*2025-08-18, version 2.0.1*

Muy fácil e intuitiva. He podido instalar las fuentes sin ninguna dificultad

### 1/5 — Didn’t work for me

*2025-06-30, version 2.0.1*

I wasn’t able to install any fonts due to a Safari error. I wanted to contact the devs via their app support link on this page but it sent me to a website that doesn’t include this app in their selection. Very odd. Think twice about installing this app.

### 5/5 — The only Fonts app I trust

*2025-05-22, version 2.0.1*

My perspective from a long career in security at Microsoft and Google: Fontcase is a free, open-source app that is well-regarded by a trusted ecosystem of iOS indie app developers.

Because iOS requires installing a management profile to load custom fonts, Font apps present significant security risks: profiles can include malicious permissions, or it could embed the font itself with an identifier to track all your web browsing.

I suspect that most of the top Font apps, free or paid, have both the incentive and the means to include such malicious content.

Because Fontcase is open-source, it provides an additional barrier to abuse by making a public claim as to its safe functionality. This makes it easier to audit the code for unintentional abuse vectors and to compare actual behavior with stated (open-source) behavior.

Fontcase is the only Fonts app I trust and use. It's also distributed by a company with no current interest in monetizing it. I took a look at some of the lower-star reviews, and I suspect that most of the negative reviews are abusive attempts to squash Fontcase coming from "competitors" (i.e. the top-rated Fonts apps who have a business model dependent on selling you their app or harvesting your data via tracking).

### 2/5 — 少なくとも

*2025-05-06, version 2.0.1*

設定→一般→VPNとデバイス管理へとフォントを入れることはできますが、設定→一般→フォント→システムまたはマイフォントにいれることができないため、表示反映はされません。少なくともWordでは、ホームタブでフォント名は表示されますが、入れたフォントが反映表示されることはありません、
（iPad Air5、iOS18.4.1）
それでもフリーサイトのフォントがほとんど入れられるのは高評価です。iPadには表示されなくても、Wordを例にするならフォント指定はできるので、同じデータをpcに持っていけば反映されます。

### 1/5 — Funktioniert

*2025-04-25, version 2.0.1*

nicht. Fonts lassen sich
Trotz Profil nicht auf dem Gerät installieren. App nutzlos!

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work now!

*2025-04-17, version 2.0.1*

I’ve followed the instruction to import fonts and install this Fontcase profile to settings. However, the fonts just don’t appear in notability app no matter how many times I restart iPad…

### 5/5 — Best app for custom font downloads

*2025-03-30, version 2.0.1*

This app is super easy to use, and I used this instead of iFont, which costs money. But this app is free and it was very easy to install my custom fonts and download them to my profile and I could use them for all my note taking apps. Thank you so much!
