### 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?

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out. It's important that we understand how the issue occurred. Please, can you provide more details on this matter to our support service (support@apalon.com)? We are willing to help.

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Read please

*2020-04-13, version 1.8*

Excellent app but it needs more text fonts.  please add more font 🙏🙏🙏.  text font like Turbo Ripped, sniglet, nosifer, Arizonia, Érica one, fiolex girls, lemondrop, luckiest guy, etc.

Create compatibility with PNG files.  images with a transparent background lose the transparent background when using their app.

Thanks

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comment and will consider it while working on future versions of the app. If you have any further suggestions or ideas - please let us know at support@apalon.com. Thank you in advance!

### 2/5 — Crashes - Needs update

*2020-02-09, version 1.8*

Looks like this developer has stopped supporting this app.  It has not been updated to work with the latest versions of IOS.  Too bad because it was a great app.  I hope you update it soon and I will change my rating to 5 stars!

**Developer response:** We appreciate if you could contact our support service (support@apalon.com) with a more detailed description of the issue so that we could try to resolve it for you. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

### 1/5 — The app won’t open

*2019-01-03, version 1.8*

The app won’t open for the iPhone X or beyond IOS 11.  Support responds to email with a repeat of your question; no resolution.  So disappointing!  I gave one star because a rating is required to post a review.  
There should be guidelines of how long an app will be supported  for operating systems, timeline for fixes and refund options.  Too many apps are abandoned that result in lost funds to the buyer.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and sorry for any possible inconvenience! We are working on the resolution of the issue and hope to release it soon. If you would like to receive a beta-build of the app and test it for yourself - please let us know at support@apalon.com. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

### 1/5 — Stay away

No longer works.

### 1/5 — Stopped working I have iPhone 8+

*2018-12-10, version 1.8*

This was go to app and I loved it, but I can’t get it to work. I click on the app and get the LEGO page and it just stays there. 😡 I have tried to delete and RE-instate, but that didn’t work.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY! Doesn’t work with new iOS

*2018-12-05, version 1.8*

They obviously ran with the money in this one. And u gotta love the “please email us” responses on here. Several emails with “we are working on it” and weeks later it still doesn’t work. I wasted  my money. DO NOT BUY. New iPhone, new IOS, THIS APP DOESN’T WORK This WAS my fav app. I used almost every day. After upgrading my iPad it will not open. It’s disappointing since this would have gotten a 5 star rating...

**Developer response:** We have a test version of the app that might have a fix of the issue. Please contact us at support@apalon.com if you would like to test the app. Thank you in advance!

### 1/5 — App Defective

*2018-11-08, version 1.8*

The app refuses to open. No helpful answers from customer support. Now I have to spend time to get a refund. Buyer beware as it may not work on your phone.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2018-10-12, version 1.8*

I can’t even get this to open then it crashes. So disappointed.

Can’t control font size, line spacing, or text width...🤷🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Needs More Fonts

### 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.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for reaching out and please accept our apologies for the temporary inconvenience. Please try to reinstall the app and see if it helps. If the issue continues, please let us know via the e-mail address support@apalon.com. We're always ready to help! Best regards, Support Team

### 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.

### 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!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-12-01, version 1.8*

Any chance the developer will update this app to work with the latest IOS release? This hasn't been updated in 2 years!!  Many features won't work anymore .. like OPENING the app to begin with🙁.  Will give a higher rating if these features are fixed.

**Developer response:** Please contact our support team (support@apalon.com) so that we could find a solution for the issue or proceed with a refund. Thank you in advance!

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2020-09-27, version 1.8*

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2020-08-17, version 1.8*

But today I needed it to do one thing which was to make a narrow rectangle for a map I’m making that I can add text to. The only rectangle is too wide and can’t be altered. The app needs a few more simple shapes and then it will be perfect

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comment and will consider it while working on future versions of the app. If you have any further suggestions or ideas - please let us know at support@apalon.com. Thank you in advance!

### 5/5 — Great fun!

A unique opportunity to photograph a background, and add selective text for any personalized greeting, message, or favorite quotes.

### 5/5 — Owner

This app is simple to use. Easy to brand yourself in a professional way!

### 5/5 — Keeps crashing on iOS11

*2017-10-30, version 1.7*

Ever since iOS11 came out this app, which I paid for crashes every time I open it. I’m on a iPhone 6s and can’t even use the app now. I enjoyed using it in the past, I wish they’d fix the bugs...
