Fontinator for Negative User Reviews

I had good hopesThe fonts failed installing. App is glitchy and I wish you could delete a font when accidentally importing the fonts didn’t want for instance. Otherwise the simple look to it is perfect..Version: 1.0.1

Doesn’t work?! How do I give it acess to a doc?I’m on a newer iPhone 12 max and when I open this app, it only has a plus sign to add a doc and an “I” button for info. First, the “i” button doesn’t give any info except basically that it is “made in Germany” and the name, along w a privacy legal doc for our perusing. No helpful info at all or even about the app. Second, the last of the 2 options is the big “+” button. Click on that and you see a list of all our files, iCloud, local device files etc. This is fine except everything is completely washed or grayed out, so you can’t click on any of them (and do SOMETHING with font). I thought maybe it was just looking for specific type of file so I scrolled through many of the folders to see what might be accessible (vs whited out / unclickable). Literally NO files were clickable for opening at all. After trying the i and the + buttons, there were literally no other options to even try or click. And no files accessible - why? What type are we even looking for? Why can’t I just type something somewhere (there is no access to a keyboard either )? There is nothing else at all that can be seen, accessed, or clicked on - no tools, nada! And my stuff had the latest updates etc. So i don’t know!! I was looking forward to using this app to change my font in things like Day One Journal, various drawing apps, Keynote, Twitter text perhaps, Pages, Notes, etc. UNFORTUNATELY it seems like somethings missing entirely - it just doesn’t work..Version: 1.0.1

How do i make a font!!Whenever i press the + button, it just brings me to sections. i don’t know how to start a new font!! please tell me how to i’m really confusedddd.Version: 1.0.1

Doesn’t workBoooooo.Version: 1.0.1

No documentation or explanation?It appears to be only a font management app for what one already HAS installed locally, and is not a font seeking-and-downloading app. Perhaps the developers might think about STATING its purpose up front. Or if it does download fonts, kindly explain how that function works, if it even exists. Sorry, this one is an unfortunate failure..Version: 1.0.1

IrritatingThis used to work fine, but now it’s refusing to let me download a font I need for a client..Version: 1.0.1

Not installingIt has stopped installing and says all my fonts need to be installed. Even the ones that are installed..Version: 1.0.1

Was greatBut can’t install anymore the profile necessary and no updates or notices to user base regarding the issue.Version: 1.0.1

Please fixApp was working just fine for a while and I loved it. But now I can’t even download new fonts because of a “profile installation…” error. Please fix this issue i won’t be able to even use Vectornator anymore for my designs.Version: 1.0.1

Profile not downloadingUsed to work great. Now it won’t let me download the profile I need to install fonts. The app loses connection to the server whenever I try to download. NEEDS FIX ASAP..Version: 1.0.1

Worked at first. But now too much of a headache to deal with.Originally I loved how Vectornator worked with all my fonts. And then they updated to use this apps to install the fonts to the app. Which was a little troubles some but do able. Now it seems some fonts don’t even work and I’ve had to clear out my font library several times to try and install just the fonts I haves used for some projects. It has been difficult to put it lightly. Even when getting new typefaces I have to worry if I’m spinning the barrel and biting the bullet. This has made me use the Vectornator app less for any font work I need to do. Very disappointing. I hope they release an update soon so I can get back to loving this again..Version: 1.0.1

Worse than uselessIt worked at first but not with all my fonts. I tried uninstalling the profile entirely and reinstalling the fonts, now I can’t use any of them. The profile claims they’re installed, but the app says they’re not, and Vectornator is not recognizing them. Please put it back the way it was where I installed fonts into Vectornator, because I now cannot use Vectornator at all for what I wanted it for in the first place..Version: 1.0.1

How do I use the fontI have the font in the menu but how do I type in it.Version: 1.0.1

Isn’t working anymoreIt used to work but it doesn’t anymore.Version: 1.0.1

?????How do you use this? i open the app, its blank or brings me to my files. then what do i do. i want to create custom fonts..,,.Version: 1.0.1

Worst. App. Ever.This app makes literally no sense whatsoever. When you open the app, you will see the name of the app, a plus sign in the middle, and an “i” button for info. When you click the “i” button, the only information it gives you is that the app was designed in Germany and the current version downloaded. No real information for people with questions. When you click the plus sign, you can see your iCloud Drive and files. The thing is though, every single item in the drive is grayed out so you can’t select anything to even use the fonts! Huge waste of time!.Version: 1.0.1

Strong LIMITATIONSI like the simple UI. However, like some have mentioned, batch importing is a huge issue. Huge because it takes troubleshooting between the apps sharing and this one, so time was wasted and frustration incurred. Also, there’s no ZIP file importing! Import 𝙤𝙣𝙚 (𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚) .otf or .ttf file at a time. Way way waaaaaay too time consuming.

Stopped workingThis was working amazingly until a few days ago. Now it says the profile is corrupted..Version: 1.0.1

Doesn’t work!Not able to install the font profile this app creates! Keep getting an error message that “collection formats are not supported”. Wish it worked since it has a clear UI, but unfortunately there are still bugs that need to be fixed.Version: 1.0.1

Fontinator is about to make me uninstall 2 appsI wanted to use Vectornator since another vector app I like is no longer being supported. The problem is that I need to be able to import fonts into the app for my design projects, and Fontinator is an awful answer to that issue. I tried importing just one font for a project that I had previously imported into Vectornator. Fontinator created the profile for the font, and the iPad believes that the profile has been installed successfully. However, Vectornator still can’t see the imported font, and Fontinator still says that the font needs to be installed. I have double- and triple-checked my steps. This whole process is counterintuitive anyway, as other design apps on iPadOS allow us to import fonts from within the app, rather than having us use a separate app that then makes us install profiles in the main Settings. Maybe that’s why there haven’t been any Fontinator updates in a couple years… Whatever the reason, this poor excuse for a font installation path is a dealbreaker. I want to like Vectornator, but the app is useless to me if I can’t add the fonts I need. Unless y’all can come up with a better font import path ASAP, I guess I’m about to uninstall both apps to regain that storage space on my iPad..Version: 1.0.1

No instructions?How do you search for your existing fonts.Version: 1.0.1

Close, but Not Quite…Overall, the concept for this app is simple and excellent - install your custom fonts (.ttf, etc.) quickly and easily and use them across your iPad OS apps like Office 365 and others. I would easily give this app 5 stars if there were fewer bugs and unexplained errors. For instance, iOS has no problem with Japanese fonts, but this app glitches out and shows glyphs instead of the fonts for some reason. Also, more commonly, there will be something that the app doesn’t like about a font file or font family and it will just say “this profile cannot be downloaded”. This is particularly problematic when installing multiple new fonts at a time as you don’t know which font is the problem and have to go back through and install them one at a time to figure out which is the problem. Again, great concept and big props to the dev team for all their efforts on this. Just need a little more polish/intuitive UI in order to become a top-tier option..Version: 1.0.1

Was working amazingly, until it wasn’t.I was super excited to be able to install several fonts at once, then while loading another batch I got an error message “bad profile.” Removing one font at a time in search of the “bad” one, I ended up with 1 font only to have the same error message...what gives? I searched for a solution will no avail, I then removed the app, then reinstalled the app, still same result. So disappointed..Version: 1.0.1

Persian fontsIt has so much bugs. And i can not add persian fonts. Vectornator is a such of great design application. So pls fix this problem..Version: 1.0.1

Seems like you can’t add new fonts to Vectornator anymoreCan’t add any new fonts because the link to install is still corrupted and it seems like they’ve abandoned the app..Version: 1.0.1

Needs explanationThe app description needs more information. I have this app plus Vectornator. Now what do I do with it? No instructions or explanation..Version: 1.0.1

Fix this app or offer intuitive font install processInstruction is vague at best, and many times it will not install properly. The profile install is flimsy and even after installation, will not be recognized by Vectornator.. Please fix!.Version: 1.0.1

Import problems.The import is not working. I am doing what it says to do in the instructions but when i come back to it the font isn’t in Vectornator. Why cant you do the drag and drop like before?.Version: 1.0.1

Unable to install fontsKeeps saying profile error, but I can install on iFont..Version: 1.0.1

It worked once for meIt worked once on iPhone and iPad, but now I can’t “install the profile” as it won’t come up in settings. If fixed this app would be perfect! I would love to make Vectornator font logos on iPad please fix 🤓.Version: 1.0.1
