### 2/5 — Pros and cons

*2025-02-17*

This app allows you to make your own handwriting into a font for it to be on your keyboard when you text. I tried this app to have my handwriting as a font, so I wrote it down , and when I was done the app told me to go to settings and to give them full access to literally everything, like your street address and your CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
