### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2023-01-07, version 1.8*

It needs a lots of work

### 1/5 — Not worth the payment

*2022-06-15, version 1.8*

The editor  does nor allow to navigate through the text, it doesn’t use iphone feature to move up and down a text; neither allow to position touching the screen. It is not useful. Also the art, and stickers offered are not useful, too plain and honestly boring.

### 1/5 — Difficult and confusing

*2021-11-16, version 1.8*

Not user friendly. I’ve used other photo apps, and I’m a novice at best, but this is very confusing and NOT user friendly or user intuitive.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-09-05, version 1.8*

Every time I try to open it, it crashes.  I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling and same thing happens.

### 1/5 — Waste of $4.99, don’t buy

*2021-06-05, version 1.8*

Bought this thinking it was going to be a good value. I really wanted a app like this where I can buy and not subscribe to. The problem is I can’t add a new photo from my library to use. It doesn’t let me. I have tried everything but no go. Then they got this icon that says “more” but that only gets you to a screen where they are advertising for sale their other product. Don’t buy if you don’t want your money stolen from you.

### 4/5 — Help question

*2021-01-15, version 1.8*

I love your app - Fontmania - however whenever I add a paragraph- It always appears as one VERY long line. 
It never breaks down the sentences to lines. 
How can I fix this please?

### 2/5 — App Stopped Working

*2021-01-06, version 1.8*

This app started off being fabulous. Many fonts. Many colors. Easy to work with. But just recently it stopped working. And the functions are limited. Not sure how to get in touch with the developer. It’s a great app if it can do all that it says.

**Developer response:** Hi Victoria! Thanks for the provided information and sorry for the issue. We really want to help. Could you email us at support@apalon.com with some more specific details about the problem? Looking forward to your reply.

### 1/5 — Sad it app has not been upgraded

*2020-12-31, version 1.8*

This used to be my go to app to embellish photos. No longer opens with the upgrade to iOS 14. So sad, will be deleting app as it is no longer functional.

### 4/5 — Typo

*2020-12-23, version 1.8*

I’m 55 years old and sent my new date a picture of me suntanning on my back porch, with what I thought said wellness center. No it’s spelled with one L that’s crossed, looking like it says wetness center....a much more nasty derogatory statement. I really love this app and use it often, my only request is that you please do a spellcheck, or find me a new boyfriend. 😊

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review and sorry for the situation! We will do our best to correct the typo as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

### 1/5 — Unless

*2020-12-01, version 1.8*

Useless app that doesn’t appear to have a trial period so while it most apps you have the ability to download and try it, this one once you download it, they bill u. 

And it is completely useless in that it’s junk!
