### 5/5 — Great app for converting to runes

*2025-07-02*

This app is overall really useful when I want to type something English in runes. It also has a simple ui and is easy to use. The only minor complaints have have is that there is no keyboard for Old English runes, which is the only runes I often write in. And secondly, that the app does not support the system keyboard for iPhones or at least the version I have. I would very much like if the developers would fix these issues. Again, these are only minor issues and I still find this app extremely useful.
