Ok but not worth the money
So I got this app cause I wanted to work on my kerning and leading. I thought this app was going to be really interactive and more of a game to help me learn but it is more informative and not very helpful. There is a kerning “game” but the app does not have any information on what to do with the app. Not worth the few bucks

Crashes
Lots of features will insta-crash, like “the basics”, not ideal, but the features I needed it for work right now, and are very good
Not worth £3
Looks promising, and very nice, but crashes upon attempting to use all but “typeface anatomy tool”. Love to use it but can’t. Waste of money.
Useful
Hugely disappointing that we can’t use Adobe Typekit with an Enterprise ID. After reading there was now Adobe integration I purchased the app...but I feel I’m not getting full use unless I can access my own type library.
Presumably I’ll be told this is an Adobe licensing issue and not Typography Insight?

Suggestion...
Pinch to zoom on the overlay comparison should allow for resizing only the left or right glyph (if gesture is conducted on the edge rather than center of the screen).
Very interesting app
Just a neat series of little interactive displays that teach you all sorts of things you never knew about typography. A fun relaxing app with a clean, intuitive interface and a pleasant design. Makes you wish more apps would follow suit. Look forward to future updates.
Very cool
I would not say that this is an instructional app, but rather a “cliffs notes” accessory that is EXTREMELY handy to have on-hand at all times. Very well done and well designed. All killer, no filler.
Brilliant Introduction to Typography
My father was an old-time Compositor who worked with wood-and-lead blocks. This App has helped me to understand his craft *and* explain my preference for particular forms of type... Oh yes; it also clearly explains the difference between 'font' and 'typeface'!
Love it!
Love it!
Lousy
Useless app, and a typography app shouldn't have such ugly typographical errors.
Typography Insight
This is a great application for those who are interested in the study of Typography. The app title is a perfect description as you can gain insight into the study of Typography with a learning basics section, a section on the main examples of fonts and styles used in our everyday life, and even learn directly with practice activities contained inside. The design itself is a compliment to the application as you can easily navigate the clear white interface that allows you to hone in on the visuals presented without any external visual noise getting in your way. The app wouldn't be as effective with bad design and it also would be somewhat ironic if it had.

Amazing
As an aspiring typographer myself, I find this app extremely useful. Not only does it have references, complete access to Adobe Typekit, and 3 categories of information, but there are practice activities where you can get better at kerning, measuring, comparing, etc. I would highly recommend this to anybody interested in Typography.

Awesome App!!!
This app is very informative and educational. Excellent resource for anyone interested in typography or type design.
Could use some more typefaces
Great app. Very helpful for beginners.
Well worth $1.99
Excellent study companion to use with Bringhurst. Scales and displays beautifully and reinforces basic differences between groups and individual faces.
Great app for beginners
I'm just getting started with typography and with the book I'm reading, I've found this app to be really useful as a handy reference.
Fantastic!
Can't praise this app highly enough! Very useful for remembering various font metrics and terminology.
Avis
Ce n'est rien de vraiment nouveau
Beatiful tool
This a very nice little tool. It's well done and can be use by anyone learning typography. I highly recomend it
Everything Type
It is has everything you need to know about type face and font. A great resource!
Nice update!
Great to see the update with new fonts! Nice companion tool for the students. I really like the overlaying compare feature - Helvetica vs Arial
