I needed to find Microsoft font types that I could use in a presentation. The scanned font returned 80 random fonts, none of which were available in Microsoft. So unless there is a way to filter results and find font types that can actually use… this app is useless. ### 2/5 — Couldn’t identify anything *2025-07-26, version 3.0.11* Gave a bunch of random fonts, couldn’t read the text I put in ### 1/5 — Que pasó? *2025-07-11, version 3.0.11* Me funcionaba súper bien y de un tiempo para acá ya no sirve, no encuentro ni la fuente más básica, hice el intento solo para probar y realmente ya no sirve la aplicación ### 1/5 — Ya no funciona *2025-07-10, version 3.0.11* Antes me funcionaba bien, ahora ya no identifica ninguna fuente. ### 1/5 — Used to work but not anymore *2025-07-09, version 3.0.11* This was a great helpful app for several years and I used it periodically to help me find font names. But it doesn’t work anymore. At all. Just says can’t find the font every single time. What a shame. ### 1/5 — Whatthefont *2025-07-09, version 3.0.11* Ya no sirve la aplicación 👎👎👎👎👎 ### 4/5 — good but *2025-07-08, version 3.0.11* fonts are currently not being detected, please fix this ### 1/5 — Hasn’t Identified a Font Since Updating *2025-07-07, version 3.0.11* This use to be an important tool for me as a graphic designer tasked with recreating logos & artwork. But since I updated to the newest version, it hasn’t identified a single font for me yet. ### 1/5 — Pésima *2025-05-29, version 3.0.11* Es malísima, literal te sugiere fuentes que ni al caso ### 2/5 — Useless *2025-04-28, version 3.0.10* This NEVER identifies the correct font. ### 1/5 — Barely Works *2025-03-21, version 3.0.10* Super slow, bad interface, and it doesn’t show accurate results. ### 3/5 — Was okay but glitchy after latest release *2025-03-04, version 3.0.6* After the most recent release, the ability to enter your own text to see the font matching results does not work once you type in several letters, it appears to be six, then you can’t see your text unless you go into every individual font to look at it, which defeats the purpose of having the summary on the first page App used to be okay. Someone has some work to do. ### 1/5 — Went downhill with latest release *2025-02-28, version 3.0.6* Before, the app correctly broke the image into lines. Now it groups many lines into the identified sample, which totally confuses the recognizer. Before, one could see the resemblance between the scanned sample, and the matching fonts. Now the differences are notable. ### 1/5 — Time waisting app *2025-02-19, version 2.4* It doesn’t work ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-02-17, version 2.4* Used this for a while, used to be pretty good but misidentifies fonts now with obvious and egregious differences. Looking for an alternative now. ### 1/5 — What The Font Happened *2025-02-08, version 2.4* Can no longer analyze fonts. I set a a name (Sophie) in Garamond Italic Pro. Took a photo. Used that in the app. ALL the results - if you can call them that - were Sans. Furthermore it misspelled as Sopbie ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2025-02-06, version 2.4* Save your money (time is money) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Two thumbs down👎🏻👎🏻 *2026-05-19, version 3.0.20* This app cannot identify any font! Terrible! ### 1/5 — И? *2026-05-12, version 3.0.20* Не могу принять соглашение, кнопка не рабочая. Собственно, прочитать я его тоже не могу - просто белый экран и больше ничего ### 1/5 — Anche no… *2026-01-14, version 3.0.11* Non ne trova mezzo… carichi fotografie di scritte interessanti e non ne azzecca una! ### 1/5 — Отстой *2025-12-24, version 3.0.11* За шесть лет ничего не исправили. Приложение не запускается на айфонах 5, 11, 12, 16 ### 1/5 — Не работает *2025-11-24, version 3.0.11* Приложение не работает совсем ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-23, version 3.0.11* Tested on a block of text from a full word doc I know the font (my document). It gave 100 options and NONE were the actual font I used ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-08-25, version 3.0.11* Cannot identity any sort of font at all. Gets them all astronomically wrong ### 1/5 — I can’t delete your app *2025-08-11, version 3.0.11* WHY WHY WHY! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2025-07-12, version 3.0.11* The app updated a few months ago and now it doesn’t recognize any font I put in there. I have even tried basic fonts that should for sure be recognized. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-07-12, version 3.0.11* Never once recognized a font automatically from a picture, never recognized a font after I selected the text. Might work well for plain no background b&w but didn’t have that need to try ever. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-04-20, version 3.0.20* This app not only found my font but gave me some great similar suggestions that I hadn't found before in my search ### 5/5 — 問題なく使えました *2026-04-19, version 3.0.20* 知りたい欧文書体がすぐにわかりました！ ### 5/5 — Accurate and reliable *2025-10-04, version 3.0.11* I’ve been using this app now for some years, I’m a freelance graphic designer and recently got hired with a marketing company. This app has always been my go-to. I’m not sure what the other reviews are referring to? Maybe they just expect things to be handed to them on a silver platter 😆 graphic design is work and research!! What the font gives you near identical fonts if not the exact one you’re looking for. Definitely recommend it!! Thank you to the developers!! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-11-06, version 2.4* Worked in an instant so I am mega impressed ! ### 5/5 — You can delete the app if you are not getting results *2024-10-12, version 2.4* Just reinstall the app if it’s not giving you results and you should be good 👍 ### 5/5 — 急に使えなくなりました *2024-02-20, version 2.3* 使えるように再開して欲しいです。 ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-02-11, version 2.3* What the font is Awesome! ### 5/5 — 最近使えなくなりました *2024-01-23, version 2.3* とても便利で利用させて頂いていましたが、最近検索しても結果が出ず、使えなくなってしまいました。復活願います。 ### 5/5 — It’s been working great for me! *2023-12-13* Gave it a 5 stars because it works well for me and saves me hours searching for a specific font. Of course, there will be fonts not recognized due to being a custom perhaps, bit if you are working with generally known fonts it will identify and even provide others that are similar you can go and download/purchase. Excellent job guys, thanks!! ### 5/5 — Please update it *2023-09-21, version 2.3* Hey, I use this app all the time - it’s been great in finding fonts for design work. But in last few months I’m getting errors that it can’t connect to servers. Please could you update it with a fix? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
