I’m Dyslexic, and i recently learned that dyslexic fonts exist i was really excited to try this out because well i thought this font looked pretty cool. The only problem i have is how in the world to i use it? like i have no idea how to put the font on my ipad and i have looked on everything and nothing works or helps.

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?

Super useful

Free and I’m using it with “Make It Big” app to make messages accessible. Really easy to install the font. Thanks!

Charging now? Just to redownload

I had to delete and reload your app now when I try to redownload it. I’m getting alerts on iPhone for a charge of $5.41. My woke device isn’t getting Charge done my laptop. What gives? I need to see and read properly .

Help me

Does not work on any apps

Fantastic Font

Really great font, my boyfriend is dyslexic and it helps him a lot! I'm not dyslexic but I also find it easy to read. Doesn't work in every app but thats up to the other developers to fix, not an issue with the font itself. Would be great if this also included the monospaced version but that's not a huge issue.

Installed but can't activate

I installed this application but I actually can't seem to activate it to use as system or apps font

Limited

At first i was confused. The app is good considering it’s free, but very limited in its actual use. This actually isn’t because of developer error, but the IOS seemingly has no way to change system font.

fast install of this font

Free and does exactly what it says. Thank you for providing this for free.

I’m confused

How do you set it up?

Great App

Deliveries its purpose exceptionally well. Recommend to everyone to gain a deeper insight into neurodiversity and to better aid others when developing print.

Bless you for doing right/ Abençoado seja por fazer a coisa certa

Tem pessoas tentando ter lucro de fontes iguais a essa que são uns dos poucos e não tão úteis recursos de acessibilidade e nem criado por eles é.

Esse é bem feito e facílimo de instalar e do custo correto.

Works beautifully

Simple to install.

It took me seconds to install and was immediately available on my iPad’s kindle app. I've used this font in the past and have found it helpful.

Installed and rebooted iPhone

But nothing has changed anywhere….

Which is a shame.

Best font on the PLANET

This font is a lifesaver! I don’t know how Abbie came up with it, but it’s amazing! Look, you have to install some stuff to make it compatible, big whoop. It’s 100% worth it! For the longest time this was only available on the Kindle, but now she’s literally GIVING IT AWAY as an open source app to help people.
Instead of downrating it, maybe some people should reach out to the creator, (who has graciously made herself easily accessible via social media), and ask for help!
To Abbie: THANK YOU! Thank you for creating it, for working to make it accessible across multiple platforms, and for making it open source.
We see you and we appreciate you.

This app is fake

I’m a dyslexic 13 year old this needs to be fixed it causes me stress because every time I download this app it doesn’t work I’m so disappointed.

Thank you

Sorry all the reviews that are terrible since they didn't understand that you can’t control what apps gives you access to custom fonts.

Many reviews without understanding

This font is a lifesaver! It works incredibly well for all apps that choose to support custom installed fonts. However, some apps do not. This is not a reason to review bomb this particular app. If you want your favorite app to support this great font, then reach out to the developers of that app and put your negative reviews over there. But do not give a low rating to this great app unless it is somehow deserving of it on its own merits.

Helpful tool

Thank you for developing this app. It really works as it is explained and I really like it. I‘ve just learned that this font is helpful for people with dyslexia and I need it for some of my students.
