### 5/5 — Очень хорошее приложение

*2026-06-20*

Мне не нравится то что там надо покупать!❤️

### 1/5 — no keyboard

*2025-04-07*

only needed a keyboard

### 4/5 — Cool app with one drawback

*2025-02-18*

I really like glyfs and I picked it up on Black Friday which was totally worth the price, the app is amazing and does everything it says, but the performance on my M4 Pro or M1 Mac isn’t good when scrolling/loading so the app kind of feel clunky

### 5/5 — Не хватает символа

*2025-01-02*

Приложение супер! Но диабет пожалуйста возможность использовать не только такое сердце ♡ но и такое ♥

### 1/5 — Werte lassen sich nicht kopieren

*2024-12-21*

Das Symbol lässt sich kopieren, aber die einzelnen Werte lassen sich nicht kopieren.

### 5/5 — wheres da keyboard

*2024-12-01*

I can’t seem to find the keyboard like every other but every other app has a keyboard with letters and numbers and stuff but the app is great not gonna lie

### 5/5 — Muy útil

*2024-08-13*

✦ Personalmente utilizo muchísimo los glyphs para estructurar mi información y esta App es muy util para tenerlos a la mano.

Algunas sugerencias para el desarrollador:
➊ Poder cambiar de orden las tipos de fuente (para poner las relevantes o más usadas arriba)
➋ Poder reordenar los favoritos
➌ En la sección de Glyfs no mostrar los más usados si no todos y crear una sección de Popular para mostrar estos los primeros.
➍ Que el usuario pueda agregar glyphs que no aparecen en las categorías

### 1/5 — Unnecessary Logo Change

*2024-06-06*

Change it back to black, or at the very least give Premium Users the option to customize/cycle between logos at will.

### 5/5 — Muy útil

*2023-10-01*

Si utilizas glyphs es una App muy útil. Los favoritos se sincronizan entre Mac, iPad y iPhone. También como extra muy positivo incluye funcionalidades de reformarteo de texto.

Me encantaría que se pudieran 
➊ reordenar favoritos 
➋ reordenar categorías 
➌ cambiar código de símbolos por ejemplo a Hexadecimal
➍ incluir emojis en otra categoría
➎ ver tooooodos los glyphs

### 5/5 — Where is the pure black dark mode??

*2023-08-13*

The new dark theme is trash! I want to downgrade to the previous version!

**Developer response:** Hi,
Please update to version 2.0.2 which reintroduces the original (black) theme. In case you have any further comments, please reach out to us at glyfs@8aev.com. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we're committed to continuous app improvement. Thank you for your support!
