Does not work

This app does not work at all. None of the alphabets work. Useless.

Disappointing

Attempting to copy any rune text written makes the app crush and there are no bug fixes or updates.

Didn’t work as advertised

It could be me or my phone but I followed the directions and the keyboard wouldn’t work. I tried it several times considering I had to pay for the app therefore, I have to give this a one star rating.

Theban alphabet not working

When I try to copy and past it came out all messed up, need to fox this

Nearly there

As this is the most accurate one on the App Store which statistically makes it the best one, there is only one thing I can think of and that’s there are some incorrect runes for Elder Futhrak. I don’t know about Younger Futhrak or the others as I mainly read and write in Elder, but the majority of them are correct.
