## What is Portraitype?

Portraitype is an original way to share your stories.

Sometimes thousand words fall short of telling the story of a single portrait.
And sometimes thousand pictures fail to satisfy the impact of a single word.

Portraitype lets you combine both and create typographic portraits to make your statement.

1. Pick a photo from camera, photo library or your Facebook account.
2. Enter and edit your story.
3. Portraitype!

### 2/5 — Time to do better

*2021-08-12, version 1.0*

Later- I get constant pop-ups about required updates but I can't delete … to the app store's satisfaction. So very sad. ___________________ I so much want to use this but my writing has been on the back burner. Now I regularly get a notice the developer needs to update- should I keep or delete? Terrible, isn't it? No matter what I do it could be (is likely to be?) gone for many of us in the near future. What's it to be? If you have a great idea make it work or just keep it to yourself. Don't tempt us and toss it after teasing us with your temporary trial. Tweak it. Fix it. We deserve better.

### 4/5 — Unique!

*2019-01-28, version 1.0*

Lovely and beyond fun to play with.

### 2/5 — Interesting

*2016-04-25, version 1.0*

But cannot write in your own personal text and
D the color layers don't work... Can only get one color....needs tutorial or better instructions

**Developer response:** Hello Sylvanita1, thank you for the feedback, at the time of your comment, there was not any option to reply.
1. You should be able to write your own text by tapping the text area (just after picking a picture).
2. If you see only one color (white or gray) even after selecting a color from the hue wheel, please try changing brightness and saturation values via using sliders at the bottom. Final color is what you see on the center (of the hue wheel).
