### 1/5 — only crashes

*2023-08-22*

i had so much hope for this one too

### 2/5 — I made a good font... but this tool does not have any potential whatsoever

*2021-09-26, version 2.7*

This app is too limited
Limits:
- cannot export at all
- capped at one free font
- does not look polished
However, the background font helped me

### 1/5 — This app is awful

*2021-08-29, version 2.7*

I made a question mark and it looks like an apostrophe and I made an exclamation mark and I don’t even have one or a period . Also the letters are so spaced.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2021-08-06, version 2.7*

okay so, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!! it has very bad quality and its just wasteful. i thought i was gonna get something good. like a custom keyboard. this is why you should always read the reviews before buying a app. 1 star

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-05-02, version 2.7*

Just dosent work dont waste your time if you want an app that actually works look up fontsie

### 1/5 — Might as well draw your message.

*2021-04-30, version 2.7*

When I got this app. I expected to be able to have this as a legit keyboard like other apps do. I’ve had apps where you could go into Message and use it there. This app you have to hit the old copy and paste. While yes it does work, not very well at all. I made punctuations and it did not save them. The only thing it registered was the letters and numbers, nothing else. You can’t go straight to your message app and switch to your own hand writing. I have not spent much time with this app at all, much less then an hour and I can already conclude this is a waste of time. You might as well go to a drawing app, make a drawing with your hand writing, take a screenshot, and send that instead.

    Also, your only allowed to make one font and have to pay 99 cents for the rest! Who would want to pay for that?

### 4/5 — Can anyone give a good review?

*2020-12-31, version 2.7*

All the reviews say this app is so bad٫ but its not. I mean٫ yes it sometimes crashes and the letters are a little more spaced than I would like٫ thats really nothing to hate on. In fact٫ I think this app is fine. If you could just fix the two things I mentioned above٫ I would give five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — Its a pile of trash

*2020-11-25, version 2.7*

I have nothing good to say about this app

### 1/5 — :-(

*2020-06-24, version 2.3*

It went smoothly for me up until I was finished, whenever I typed something into the message thing and copied it, when I went to send it, just a huge square appeared. It doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Do not recommend

*2020-03-22, version 2.3*

This app freezes, the writing portion is very hard to control, and other stuff like that. Every letter that I take a picture of freezes the app and I get nowhere. Don’t waste your time on this app.
