Fontinator Feedback
by far, the easiest way to install additional fonts to iOS that I've come across.
- duplicate detection would be nice
- break profiles up into smaller installations [multiple fonts, if you aren't wanting to install fonts separately, tend to crash the app or flat out refuse to upload]

Unable to install fonts
Keeps saying profile error, but I can install on iFont.
Close, but Not Quite…
Overall, the concept for this app is simple and excellent - install your custom fonts (.ttf, etc.) quickly and easily and use them across your iPad OS apps like Office 365 and others.
I would easily give this app 5 stars if there were fewer bugs and unexplained errors. For instance, iOS has no problem with Japanese fonts, but this app glitches out and shows glyphs instead of the fonts for some reason. Also, more commonly, there will be something that the app doesn’t like about a font file or font family and it will just say “this profile cannot be downloaded”. This is particularly problematic when installing multiple new fonts at a time as you don’t know which font is the problem and have to go back through and install them one at a time to figure out which is the problem.
Again, great concept and big props to the dev team for all their efforts on this. Just need a little more polish/intuitive UI in order to become a top-tier option.

Please fix
App was working just fine for a while and I loved it. But now I can’t even download new fonts because of a “profile installation…” error. Please fix this issue i won’t be able to even use Vectornator anymore for my designs
Fontinator is about to make me uninstall 2 apps
I wanted to use Vectornator since another vector app I like is no longer being supported. The problem is that I need to be able to import fonts into the app for my design projects, and Fontinator is an awful answer to that issue.
I tried importing just one font for a project that I had previously imported into Vectornator. Fontinator created the profile for the font, and the iPad believes that the profile has been installed successfully. However, Vectornator still can’t see the imported font, and Fontinator still says that the font needs to be installed. I have double- and triple-checked my steps. This whole process is counterintuitive anyway, as other design apps on iPadOS allow us to import fonts from within the app, rather than having us use a separate app that then makes us install profiles in the main Settings. Maybe that’s why there haven’t been any Fontinator updates in a couple years…
Whatever the reason, this poor excuse for a font installation path is a dealbreaker. I want to like Vectornator, but the app is useless to me if I can’t add the fonts I need. Unless y’all can come up with a better font import path ASAP, I guess I’m about to uninstall both apps to regain that storage space on my iPad.

Profile not downloading
Used to work great. Now it won’t let me download the profile I need to install fonts. The app loses connection to the server whenever I try to download. NEEDS FIX ASAP.
Not installing
It has stopped installing and says all my fonts need to be installed. Even the ones that are installed.
Persian fonts
It has so much bugs. And i can not add persian fonts.
Vectornator is a such of great design application. So pls fix this problem.

Seems like you can’t add new fonts to Vectornator anymore
Can’t add any new fonts because the link to install is still corrupted and it seems like they’ve abandoned the app.
It worked once for me
It worked once on iPhone and iPad, but now I can’t “install the profile” as it won’t come up in settings. If fixed this app would be perfect! I would love to make Vectornator font logos on iPad please fix 🤓
Amazing.
Simple, does exactly what it says it does. Installs fonts (if you don’t know where to find any, start with Google Fonts)
Thank goodness. And the price is right too!

Fix this app or offer intuitive font install process
Instruction is vague at best, and many times it will not install properly. The profile install is flimsy and even after installation, will not be recognized by Vectornator.. Please fix!
Software Update Please
Update
Worse than useless
It worked at first but not with all my fonts. I tried uninstalling the profile entirely and reinstalling the fonts, now I can’t use any of them. The profile claims they’re installed, but the app says they’re not, and Vectornator is not recognizing them.
Please put it back the way it was where I installed fonts into Vectornator, because I now cannot use Vectornator at all for what I wanted it for in the first place.

Quick, Simple, Painless
I installed dozens of fonts through this app. There are older reviews talking about bugs with batch imports that seem to be fixed. The process isn’t exactly intuitive, but I think that’s more Apple’s fault than theirs. Very handy with a simple but elegant interface.
I had good hopes
The fonts failed installing. App is glitchy and I wish you could delete a font when accidentally importing the fonts didn’t want for instance.
Otherwise the simple look to it is perfect.

Works. Not intuitive, but is free.
I recently started using Vectornator. Thor a project, I needed an Old English font. I found a free font database and downloaded to my iPad. Using this app, was able to import the ttf file into Vectornator. 👌
Doesn’t work!
Not able to install the font profile this app creates! Keep getting an error message that “collection formats are not supported”. Wish it worked since it has a clear UI, but unfortunately there are still bugs that need to be fixed
?????
how do you use this? i open the app, its blank or brings me to my files. then what do i do. i want to create custom fonts..,,
Worst. App. Ever.
This app makes literally no sense whatsoever. When you open the app, you will see the name of the app, a plus sign in the middle, and an “i” button for info. When you click the “i” button, the only information it gives you is that the app was designed in Germany and the current version downloaded. No real information for people with questions. When you click the plus sign, you can see your iCloud Drive and files. The thing is though, every single item in the drive is grayed out so you can’t select anything to even use the fonts! Huge waste of time!
