### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2026-01-24*

The interface is not well thought out, and it takes a lot of tapping and scrolling to access font info or make changes. But the app did what it promised, until it didn’t. Fonts loaded with Fontster are no longer available for use in any app. The last update (in summer 2025) did not change that fact. I have unsubscribed.
