Not functional

The app downloads but does not install as described. To get any dev assistance you need to sign up for a forum where other ppl are also asking the same questions. The links provided do not work & do not provide instructions for install. For such a great & well-needed product, this was a disappointing result.

No idea how to use this app

Once you install the font nothing happens and the app provides no instructions on how to get your phone to use the font

Edit: this app only works with Office, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Why leave that information out?
