To use your existing font rentals from the Fontstand desktop app on an iPad, you need to sign in with your Fontstand account (using your email address and password connected to your Fontstand desktop app).

Shocking *2024-10-24* Impossible to use unless you are a developer! Shocking **Developer response:** Dear user, we are afraid that there might be some misunderstanding regarding the use of the app. The app doesn't have any special requirements and can be used by anyone. Please describe your problem below or contact us directly at support@fontstand.com. ### 5/5 — All this excellent type for five bucks a month! *2022-06-13* I don’t do any final designs on the iPad, but I do sketch a bit. Getting the vast Fontstand catalog for five bucks a month expands my palette considerably, the collection is much sharper and more current than the (very good) Adobe Fonts offering. Then it’s all available for rent on Fontstand desktop, again with reasonable prices, great when the budget doesn’t always allow font purchases. **Developer response:** Dear user, thank you for the positive review, much appreciated! ### 3/5 — Please read before buying *2020-07-26* The fonts in this app are really good but you do have to pay which really gets me upset cause I really want these amazing fonts but. Have to pay and I’m not the type of person that pays for apps. Thank you ## Frequently asked questions about Fontstand for iPad ### How can I use fonts with Fontstand on an iPad?
