A major flaw for me. And yes, I’m working as a typographer since 1996. ### 2/5 — Largely a waste of money *2020-03-31* OK for newbies I suppose, as it didn’t tell me anything that I didn’t already know. Tiny text, and paragraphs get truncated on a small screen (not all of us can afford iPhones with a large screen, even if our pockets were big enough). Only works with later iOS versions for no obvious reason, which stops me from using it on my old iPad. From which planet do the developers come? ### 4/5 — Petites erreurs mais sinon parfait ! *2020-03-28* J’ai beaucoup aimé cette application et attends avec impatience d’autres activités semblables ! Petit inconvénient (même si je sais que cette app est déjà très bien), une traduction en français serait la bienvenue ! Aussi, la fin des phrases n’est pas présente et le partage familial n’a pas l’air de marcher : on m’a dit que c’était aussi disponible sur tablette, mais on m’indique qu’il faut repayer ! Je m’adresse surtout à Apple pour qu’ils puissent m’expliquer le problème. Bonne fin de journée ! ### 3/5 — Missing end of sentences *2020-03-23* Interesting app so far but the experience is really not that great when half sentences have their ending cropped :/ (from the first section : the basic, at least) I hope it will be fixed ! ### 2/5 — Great but Buggy *2020-02-21* I think the app is/can be really useful to learn about typography. However, when I am using the “Compare - Juxtapose” feature. The font colour is white on white, with no option to change the colour (using iPhone X) **Developer response:** Thank you for using Typography Insight! Could you please update the app and try again? Dark mode support has been added and it should fix white on white text issue which is caused by automatic dark mode switching on iOS 13. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2019-10-15* Download this today was happy to pay the small fee. However the Overlay and Juxtapose parts don’t work as they should. When turning my iPhone X the screen graphics don’t tilt as they should and the touchable options overlay each other. Are you in the process of fixing this if not I’ll rather have the small fee back and no app. ### 2/5 — Great concept but current version is broken *2019-09-29* I was super excited about this app, but a few issues I’m encountering: - when I select fonts from system or typekit in either comparison on display modes the wrong fonts are coming up - when displaying a font (in my case objektiv from typekit), the descenders were cut off. Cool idea, just buggy for me **Developer response:** Thank you for spending your time to share the issues! Could you please update and try? Font change issue in Type Inspector has been fixed and added dark mode support. For the descender cropping issue, I’ll work on the fix for the next version. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Underwhelming *2019-03-30* Honestly there’s a lot leas than I expected from this impulse buy. Maybe they’ll add to it in the future. Not much here that you cant learn in about 30 seconds of googling. ### 3/5 — Excited for the future! *2019-03-25* I’m a web/ graphic designer and have had an affinity for fonts and type for a while. Needless to say when I saw this app, I pretty much impulse bought almost immediately. This app has a lot of basic fact and tools, but it’s nothing I didn’t already know from my high school graphic design class when we spent like a day on fonts. I’d love to see more in depth info on type, maybe some history, how each letter plays into one another. How is each letter designed and why does it take that form? I don’t know, maybe I’m blowing smoke because I don’t know type that well, but I’m excited to see what’s added in the future! ### 4/5 — iphoneSE点击observe闪退 *2017-03-04* iphoneSE点击observe闪退 **Developer response:** 任何不便敬请谅解。 Type Inspector固定在版本3.8上。 请尝试。 谢谢！ Sorry for any inconvenience. 'Type Inspector' is fixed on the version 3.8. Please try. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2016-09-23* It gives me a chance to look deep inside of famous fonts. Typography compare part is most interesting. **Developer response:** Hi live_nature, now you can access thousands of fonts from Adobe Typekit by signing in with Adobe ID. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Must habe *2015-02-15* For typo lovers! ### 3/5 — Quite nice *2015-02-08, version 3.2* The app is beautyfully designed. I only hope that, with time, more fonts will be added to their list. ### 5/5 — Fun to learn type! *2015-02-04* I love various features and simple sections to learn different aspects of typography. It feels like the playground for the designers. Hope we can get kerning feature on iPhone version too! ### 5/5 — Well done ! *2015-02-02* ;) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Little learning *2020-12-15* The „learning typography“ part is highly overstressed. Defining typographic vocabulary is not „learning typography“. Not worth the money. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2020-02-18* Very limited use - was intrigued from a Typography nerd standpoint but found little to use or learn from. ### 1/5 — License *2019-05-28* Why do you have separate licenses for iphone and ipad? ### 1/5 — 看不懂 *2019-04-27* 全部都是英文 ### 1/5 — Cheap made... *2019-04-27* Im wesentlichen ist es eine PDF Datei und keine App ### 1/5 — Really? *2012-10-27, version 1.2* This app won't be worth it if it were free. I expected more fonts. Disappointing app! ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money! *2012-10-24* This app should be free for what you get. I love the concept but there are barely any fonts and it's certainly not very fluid to compare and contrast font styles (one letter at a time). Save your money. Definitely needs more substance! ### 1/5 — Not useful when there are only 16 basic fonts *2012-10-19, version 1.2* Add more typefaces to actually make this worth our money. ### 1/5 — Totally Useless *2012-04-23, version 1.0* The lack of fonts in this application make it useless. Save yourself the dollar an look this stuff up on wikipedia. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2012-04-20, version 1.0* Not that helpful, no cool examples, and almost no font variety whatsoever. Not as advertised ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Five stars, ideal privacy policy *2020-12-02* This app works as described and the developer chooses not to collect any personal data for themselves or their affiliates. After reading the single paragraph, I was so happy to read their policy I nearly cried. Previously, I've agreed to fork over my data to Adobe, so that's on me. ### 5/5 — Additional *2020-10-06* New ### 5/5 — Langage *2020-04-19* Needs a french translation. ### 5/5 — YES *2018-12-26* Perfect ### 5/5 — 大爱此软件 *2018-11-03* 找了很久，总算找到这么出色的APP ### 5/5 — Running perfect on iOS 10.3 *2017-03-31* Thanks for the quick response and fix. **Developer response:** Sorry for any inconvenience. Type Inspector is fixed on the version 3.8. Please try. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Nice *2017-03-15* Nice and elegant ### 5/5 — Clever and Useful !! *2015-06-09* I was not expecting this app to be so elegant and interesting. **Developer response:** Thank you very much! Now you can access thousands of fonts from Adobe Typekit by signing in with Adobe ID. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — interesting! *2015-05-08* interesting way to get familiar with typography for for non designers and fun as well as those who are deeply concerned ### 5/5 — Simply enlightening *2015-04-11* I've been working with desktop publishing type for pushing 30 years now, and this app gave me an insight into how to compare typefaces systematically that I would never have thought otherwise. It's great! **Developer response:** Thank you very much! Now you can access thousands of fonts from Adobe Typekit by signing in with Adobe ID.
