Not letting me remove overlaps without paying for a subscription

So, I’m a young type designer, and I don’t have a bank account. I tried to remove overlaps, but it said I needed to pay for Letterforms Premium, and I can’t pay (since I don’t have a bank account). I’m that same boy from 2 years ago (I was 11 at that time, now I’m 13, and I can’t have one until I’m 18 [and I will turn 18 on Dec 5, 2030]). Can you please remove the “Letterforms Premium required” thing from the “remove overlaps” button, please?

How to sketch to vector?????

Hey, I’m sure this app is great, BUT the tutorials are almost non-existent. For example, In your description it says Sketch to vector in seconds. How??? I spent 30 minutes trying to figure it out. This is not right. There is no tutorial about this feature.

Thanks for your honest feedback — and I'm sorry for the time you spent trying to figure this out. To find this feature much more easily in the latest version: 1. Import an image and add it to a glyph. 2. Look for the new button next to the invert color button (moon shape icon). 3. Tap it to trace the sketch to a vector path. Long press the same button for additional settings. Please ensure you're on the newest release. Thank you for your feedback.

Solid mobile Font Editor

This is the only serious typeface design software in the entire App Store. Its capabilities are extensive and surprising - you can program opentype features, design multiple weights per family and interpolate between them, full support for creating variable fonts. I hope more people interested in type design are able to hear about this app

Update 3-14-26: today’s update is making the app crash on launch for me. iPad A16, iPadOS 18.5

Update: developer contacted me within a day after my last update and worked with me to promptly fix the crash. Everything’s working perfectly again

No instructions

No instructions, tutorials, you don’t know where to start and what to do. Could be the greatest app ever, but without any build in tutorials it’s useless .

Thank you for the honest feedback. We hear you, and you're right — a great tool needs great guidance. We've added better built-in tutorials in the latest update. You can find them in the "Learn" tab (the third tab at the bottom of the main "Font Families" screen on iPhone or on the sidebar on iPad). We're committed to making this app intuitive and powerful. Please give the new tutorials a try and let us know what you think.

I do not know how to get into editing mode. But it would be fun. (If you answer I will rate again)

Hi! Thank you for the feedback and for being willing to give it another try — that means a lot. To enter editing mode: Tap to select a glyph (letter/symbol). A round, blue "Edit" button will appear on the bottom. Tap that button to enter the full editor. We've also redesigned the interface and added a step-by-step guide in the "Learn" tab to make everything clearer. We really hope you find it more intuitive now and have fun creating!

Starting fonts

There does not seem to be a way to paste in an image so you can use it as a template. The image is not an existing font.

No instructions anywhere. Useless to me.

Sorry for your confusion. You can find tutorials by tapping the Heart icon at the top, then the second tab at the bottom. It’s indeed a little buried, we’ll try doing something with it. Sorry again!

love it, but it doesnt' seem to work right now?

Hi Developer, this is exactly the kind of tool I was looking for. I would pay a lot for it, actually.

Problem is right now it doesn't seem to be working at all. Is there a reason it doesn't work? Do you have more documentation and help? Will pay! If you don't want to keep building this, I will!

Hi, thanks for the stars. You can find tutorials in the app from the HEART icon on the top main page then the second tab at the bottom. Also, if you have any specific questions, you are welcome to contact me through the email found within the app. Hope you’ll enjoy the app.

Powerful little app

Once you get around to navigating the features in this app, it truly is quite a powerful tool for any designer.

I needed to created a self styled Hebrew font for laser engraving (Stock font options just were not going to do for this project), and once I plugged in the the Unicode symbols for the characters, I was off to editing. Kerning is not super intuitive, but Im sure Ill overcome that learning curve as well... I can adjust as needed in the design software... Overlaps seemed to give prolems upon export, so a bit of reworking was necessary to simply remove any and all. But lesson learned on first go, so next should be easier.

Kudos to the developer of this software. Thanks for creating a tool that truly adds value to the craft of being a designer.

I dont know what the buttons do.

The app was made of Unicode characters and it's so hard to see in some Unicode characters. can you change the buttons? The buttons are hard to see and it's covered in the question blocks from super Mario brothers

Hi Dylan, thank you for this very specific feedback from long ago. We wanted to follow up to let you and any new users reading this know that the issue you described has long been resolved. The interface you encountered, which relied heavily on Unicode characters for buttons, was part of our very early prototype. We have since completely rebuilt the app with a custom, professional icon system and a redesigned UI. The buttons are now clear, visually distinct, and designed for readability. We appreciate you taking the time to point this out during the app's early days. It directly contributed to the much more polished and usable app we have today.

So confusing

Look, it is cool. But seriously, you can’t draw lines and it keeps kicking me out when I try to do things. You can’t curve the lines easily, and the template disappears immediately after tapping the screen. I tried to move the sidebar that pops up and has a bar that you can supposedly move it around with, and it kept kicking me out. You have to pay to do more than one character, let alone a whole alphabet, numerals and more. Terrible and not worth it.

Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed feedback, even though it came from a very frustrating experience. We are truly sorry for the state of the app when you used it. You were not wrong. That version has been completely rewritten. We addressed every point you raised: 1. Stability & Crashes: The app has been rebuilt for stability. The crashes you described should be resolved. 2. Drawing Tools: You can now draw and curve lines freely with updated vector tools. The template behavior has been fixed. 3. UI/UX: The interface and sidebar interactions have been completely redesigned based on extensive user testing. 4. Pricing Model: This is the biggest change: You can now create complete fonts (letters, numerals, symbols) for free. The subscription is only for advanced features and exports. We know an apology can't change your past experience, but we hope this shows how seriously we took feedback like yours. If you ever reconsider, we believe the current version is a fundamentally different and better app.

It works well!

I'm not sure what the other reviewers were having problems with. The app runs just perfectly on my 2016 MacBook Pro running MacOS 12.0.1. I saw their freak-out reviews but wanted to try it anyways. PLUS you get a month to see if it works for you before you purhcase it! So you've got nothing to loose! So far the only thing I'm struggling to understand are the Kerning settings. I'm trying to fix a font for a LED Scoreboard clock so that when my display software shows a time 12:18 for example, that it will correct the Kerning so that the "1" are the same kerning as the other numbers WHILE at the same time, shrinking the ":" colon's spacing. I wish there was a little more documentation, BUT the app is elegant, pretty and seems to do anything you'd want a Font Editor to do!! Now, I'm going to fiddle around a bit more till I figure this out! ;) REVISION: I found the "?" button in the upper right corner. There are tutorials and examples inside that viewer. I think I can figure this out now! I don't know why those other reviewers didn't give it a good rating.

Thank you so much for the positive review! I’m so happy that you find the app enjoyable. Regarding how to set kernings, I have added a tutorial for it. Just go from the top Heart Button, then the second tab to see it.

Won't run on iPad or my Mac Pro

It won't even BOOT on my Mac Pro which has every bell and whistle money can buy, so i know the machine is not failing. And I saw the developer said it was more of a touch screen intended app. I got it on my ipad, i don't think it even lasted a minute before it just spontaneously quit. i would love to have an app like this. I sure hope someone comes out with one because this shouldn't even be sold with apps because it isn't an app. It's only the promise of one.

Response from developer

Sorry for your bad experience. It’s especially frustrating when the app works fine on my own devices but not on others’. To give me a chance to fix what’s causing it, would you mind sharing the crash log so I can know where it went wrong? If you don’t mind, in your iPad settings, under Privacy, there’s Analytics & Improvements down below. Then inside it, there is Analytics Data, where you can search for “Letterforms” to show its crash logs. Open one and share to weijiuqiao@gmail.com. There is no identifying information about the user inside so it’s anonymous.

App Bombs

After subscribing to get the app to work, the app bombs several times. Can not even get to first base. The instruction on how to use the app are very sparce and not very useful. Recommendations - don't get in current version. Needs a lot of work to make it usable.

Thanks for the feedback. The latest version has fixed several bugs that could lead to a crash and added tool instructions on long press. The app started out as an iOS app with more of a touchscreen intended design. The recent addition of macOS support has been bumpier than expected. I will keep working on it and any feedback is welcomed.

Eh

It seems like it would be great, but I hate how they show you the tutorial to get you exited, then drop the bomb that you have to pay. Creativity should not come with a price.

начало работы

В руководстве написано, как делаются буквы, но непонятно, как вообще начинать. Весь экран чёрный.
И само начало работы также непонятно. В руководстве все подробно написано, но на деле – все другое!
