IFontMaker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Please updateHi I’m do some graphic art work and I think this software is half way there. I would like to be able to move the outer edges rather than the centre line this would be a huge advantage and a much more creative. To have both ways, either centre line or outer line would be fab. The points in the line seems to be fixed to the thickness of the line but would be good could take advantage of been able to fatten up the at the point in the line you pick. Or add more points to it. Or to be able to import a vector. This would make this software more professional. I think this be hitting the 5 stars.Version: 3.48
✓ Wish you could use different brushes!The brushes on this are limited, I didn’t see an erase option either. I wish it would let you import black/white images from procreate for more detailed font designs..Version: 3.42
✓ Utility?What is the point to forge new font on an IPad if you canot use it on it? I was a little angry to realize that I paid 7 box and at the end, it was not doing what I was expecting. On the other hand, I have to say That the app is fonctionnal and fairly well design ( I cannot compare, it is the first font making application I Ever use)..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Yet another oneI bought this app hoping it would be more diverse in languages, i have yet to find one that allows making korean characters, which i need, but i do not have a PC to be able to make a set as i would like. I dared test this by just using the english keyboard, but unfortunately it does not work, because the way Hangul is written requires the use of symbol stacking(Bat-chim). This app would be excellent if they added more languages and keyboard options. I really need to be able to make a korean type face similar to the settings i use for my english type face for comic translation reasons. I would consider expanding for the purpose of others who use more languages outside the very minimal options you have listed..Version: 2.95
✓ No eraser & can’t create smooth finishAfter seeing a couple people on skillshare using this app I was quite excited however I was Sadly disappointed after trying it out especially for the cost. Requested a refund. Needs an eraser tool and I feel that it is especially hard to get a smooth fluid finish on the lettering. Need more flexibility..Version: 3.34
✓ Crashes RegularlyI like the premise of the app. The creation of a font is very straight forward. Unfortunately, the overall user experience is pretty bad, as the application hangs and crashes regularly. This does not lose the characters already created, but it is time consuming to resolve. (Re-starting the application causes another crash...only a restart of the iDevice fixes the issue—until it happens again.).Version: 2.91
✓ I can’t uploaded fontI can't upload the font. I would appreciate it if you could convert it into a font and use it without using a server..Version: 3.44
✓ Issues giving my file a nameI wish there was a feature to restrict my horizontal movement. Snapping I guess you would call it. Characters should snap on the bottom line or adjust in small increments. But my original problem is that I can’t name my font file. Clicking on the Title Box doesn’t give me that option so all my fonts are called Untitled..Version: 3.44
✓ Good startVery buggy and needs improved features (Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity, streamlining like on Procreate, etc.) so not sure its worth the price tag. But with a few updates, totally worth it..Version: 2.93
✓ Wish I had not purchasedVery disappointed in this app. Does not work good with an Apple Pencil no brushes. The look of the app is nice. Should have practice page with cut paste. After you fill out all the letters it just sends it to a website to create the font. Honestly you can do that for free! Don’t buy this app it’s a rip off Especially when you can do the same thing for free online. Wish I had my money back I will forever cry for those $10.Version: 3.34
✓ Doesn’t do what I need it to doI already drew a font in Procreate and would like to import it in order for it to work with a keyboard. This doesn’t do that, however you can import a photo to use as a guide. So I used a screenshot of my font and attempted to redraw it in this app. Well that doesn’t work very well either as the brush (depending on which one) doesn’t follow the line drawn very well. The brush that will make a nice pointed end looks like it’s following your stroke until you take the pen off the screen, then the line snaps into some strange geometric shape that doesn’t even come close to resembling the line you were trying to draw. Filling in the letters you drew is also a bit of a pain, and there isn’t an eraser to aid in making fine points. I’ve wasted my money on this and would like a refund..Version: 3.44
✓ I love this app but I need and eraserI don’t just want undo and redo, I want to be able to remove a portion without removing whole thing!.Version: 3.32
✓ It won’t workBasically I’ve tried to get it to install to my iPad but it just won’t work no matter how many tutorials it won’t download plz help.Version: 3.49
✓ Great App with a couple changesLove this app. Just wish it wouldn’t freeze on my iPad Pro when trying to load a previous project. I have to shut down the iPad completely to get it to work again. Also wish there were different brush/pen options to make a more realistic brush fonts..Version: 2.91
✓ “Text replacer”Don’t get me wrong, it’s great in so many ways. But, it only works on pages or other specific personal documents. You can’t copy and paste it, it is not a true font. You can’t use it in iMessage or anything else. All I would like is for a keyboard integration..Version: 2.93
✓ Doesn’t work with latest iOSI used to love this app but now it crashes since my iPad updated 🥺 desperately needs an update!.Version: 3.44
✓ Updated, now it crashes on openingCannot use this app anymore after the update, it starts to open, flashes the screen with my fonts and then just crashes. I have rebooted iOS several times with the same result. i don’t want to delete the app and lose my fonts - it says it will delete the data and the app. DO NOT UPDATE.Version: 3.49
✓ It’s okReally limited, but if you want something basic and simple this is fine. Gonna go back to using font creation apps on my desktop because I need more character options, like symbols, and basically the ability to import faster files for when I draw letters in other programs with way more brush option and pressure ability.Version: 3.02
✓ Currently not compatible with iOS14I’m super disappointed because since updating to iOS14 I have been unable to use the font I created. Please update the app to be built with “use installed fonts” privilege..Version: 3.34
✓ Please add custom brushes!!!!A good intro typeface design app, but really suffers for lack of being able to import brushes. Would be at least 4 stars if they added this feature..Version: 3.03
✓ Freezes and crashesI want to love this app,but it’s constantly freezing and crashing. I also have trouble with line glitches when trying to draw letters, both with and without the pencil. Please fix!!!.Version: 2.93
✓ MidThis app is great for creating fonts, and i made quite a few. the issue is the fonts don’t work on imessages. like bro i might as well buy some pre-made fonts that work on imessages. i’m pretty annoyed by that but idc at least they work on procreate ig lila 🫶🦋🥂🌴.Version: 3.49
✓ PanCongrats on a promising app. Here are some things that bug me / i miss: When I zoom in the glyph ends up off to the side of the screen, two finger panning would be great. So pan+zoom in the same gesture, like pretty much all ipad graphics apps do. Decent line preview - i don’t really know what I am drawing without it. Hiding the preview background might be more intuative, like an always-visible on/off toggle?.Version: 3.48
✓ If you want five stars ...If you want five stars, add a feature where I can take a font is that exists on my iPad (built-in or user-installed) and change part of that font, such as just changing parts of one or two letters to be more the way I would like them to be, when an existing font is 99% of what I need it to be but I want it to be 100% what I need. Can you do this? Please?.Version: 2.93
✓ It’s a nightmare to useI see from the reviews that no improvements have been done to this app although people are asking for them. It’s impossible even to draw a straight line unless you use the line brush but it has blunt ends and I simply want to draw a straight line with rounded ends! How come there is no possibility to do this? It’s crazy! Also no possibility to copy and paste a line, flip it etc... please improve it or it’s useless..Version: 3.40
✓ Connection problemsDoesn't work well....Version: 2.70
✓ Buggy, unstableThis is by far the buggiest app I have used in a very, very long time. It crashes with annoying regularity and is completely useless as I am unable to create a new document or even view past ones that I’ve created..Version: 3.49
✓ It’s okThis app would be great if there were more editing functions. When writing or drawing what will you need to do at least once? ERASE!! Where’s the eraser? I don’t want to undo my entire line just maybe erase a little piece. I’d love to write on the dot paper so my lines could be more straight and proportional. I’d like to be able to use straight lines (in a shapes section that you hopefully one day create), on parts of my letters. This app is almost what I’m looker for. High potential to be great but more options are needed. Today, I wish this app was free or gave me a free trial so I could cancel and not give any money. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone and probably won’t waste my time using this app. I want my money back..Version: 3.42
✓ Doesn’t fully support Apple PencilWhat’s the point of supporting the Apple Pencil if you don’t support pressure sensitivity? App said it had updates to support iPad Pro, but the most obvious thing that would imply would be the ability to use the pencil to draw your letters more naturally (I.e.: with pressure sensitivity). Discovered immediately that it does not. Uninstalled and refund requested immediately..Version: 2.93
✓ Crash and BurnAfter the last update I decided to do a new font with the completely rebuilt system. I worked my way through and was near the end at the colon and it crashed and won't open again. I don't think I have the stomach for the monotony of redoing my mediocre typography. Maybe it's for the best..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Not recommended at allWorks for simple one stroke text, but fails for more intricate design, which is why you buy font building app. I wasted 3 hours designing a font, which appears fine in the app, but looks totally corrupt when it's converted/processed by the web site. 3 hours billable work at $360 + $12 app = a very expensive waste of time..Version: 3.32
✓ Needs a good update for iPad ProThe app is really good, unique in features, which allow users to do quick but good fonts. Unfortunately as other users have said, it crashes a lot and you have to restart the device. Other feature needed is the spacing between uppercase and lowercase letters, it is impossible that one-single-spacing works for both if you are doing a script font. Lastly, would be a treasure if the creators add support for a pressure brush since were are now in the pro era. I have requested this several times to the creators with no answer/interest from their part. Please don’t let this app become obsolete. UPDATE: Dropped my starts to 1. Instead of improving, in the app the “cut” scissors no longer work. It doesn’t paste neither..Version: 3.32
✓ Needs Brush imports and still crashesThis could make you a lot of money as font design has become very popular but is not pro enough but could be it is not far off but lacks options for adding brushes and eraser or if this is too challenging to do then the option the import vectors for example from affinity designer or raster images from procreate in png..Version: 2.95
✓ AMAZING, until the latest updateAVID addict of this app. Author, artist, calligrapher - it's perfect. But since the latest (and coolest) update, it now crashes after 2 seconds of opening it. Every time. I refuse to delete it. So: TO THE ADD DEVELOPERS: Pleaaaaaase fix this (huge) bug fast!!!.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Crashes when I try to add vectorsIts nice and easy to use but I want to use it along with other software and when I try to add vectors it freezes and wont paste the paths. Please fix this.Version: 3.34
✓ WishfulI could look past all other problems with this app if I could just copy/paste from procreate into iFontMaker. That or if they would make some better pressure sensitive brushes or brush customization. Would love to know if an update is coming..Version: 3.32
✓ Seriously Lacking Pressure SensitivityI want to love this app. I purchased it some time ago before realizing it did not support pressure sensitivity. I’ve just come back to it (over a year later) to see if that update had been made but, alas, it has not. This is a major flaw as font styles are limited without it. I prefer hand lettering/calligraphy/script style fonts, but without integration of the pressure sensitivity feature, it would just take entirely too much time to replicate it. Please please please update the app to support this feature!.Version: 2.95
✓ There’s room for improvementOk, I admit it: I was going to ask for a refund. From the description and the example it look a lot more easier than I thought. Which it is, if you know how to use it and if you know how to use anchor points... But after a few days of trying and trying again, I’m almost done with my first font and I’m quite satisfied, after all. So, I’ll keep the app and hope for future updates to fix some things that I think would make the app work better. Like adding nudge tools: sometimes you need to move one line of that little smidge to match another line and it’s super hard with fingers/pencil. Some arrows to nudge it a little bit would be appreciated. And adding snapping tools would be really useful for when you’re creating very precise lines. Also, I don’t know what it is but everytime I move a point, instead of seeing the line moving I see a big blue area that makes it impossible to see where I am going... it’s kinda frustrating to wander around with the anchor point trying to guess if it’s in the right place. Other things I think might be helpful would be shapes (especially ROUND!!!), a cutter, multiple selection of points or lines (for copy and paste purpose), the ability to move point/lines in straight lines. That’s a lot of things, I know! But that’s what made me think that I wanted a refund in the first place, so Mr. Developer just take this as a constructive criticism... And after all, thank you for giving us an app that makes the iPad really Pro..Version: 2.93
✓ CrashesIt's ok, does what it says but sometimes crashes and doesn't save the work which is frustrating. Also, I would really like an eraser tool and a wider variety of brushes for the price of the app..Version: 2.61
✓ Waste of moneyIt wont let me import font into procreate. Random streaks appear when I draw my new fonts in the app and I cant get ride of them. This app wasted my money..Version: 3.34
✓ Very good appI did like it a lot at first, The latest revision "Sept 01 2010" was buggy. When I wanted to contact tech support to explain the problem, was not easy to find email address and when I did I got no reply.. Hmmm...Version: 0
✓ Pretty horrible for a 9 year old app.This is only good for quick handwriting fonts. And even then the stroke smoothing is set so high that the result looks nothing like what you wrote. There are no settings, no way to adjust it. You can copy objects but can’t paste? What is that??? You can’t cut a hole in an object to make an A, B, D etc. you have to draw separate pieces. There are no snapping features for drawing straight lines. There’s no way to paste or import from other drawing apps. Basically nothing that has been established as “basic” in drawing apps for the last 30 years is in this app. There are NEW, free web-based apps with 20 times more features than this 9 year old paid app. It’s just sad..Version: 3.20
✓ One Of A Kind App[20-07-2016] No other app can do what this app can do. Although it makes everything so much easier for being able to create fonts, I have trouble with being able to zoom in enough to see and version 1 of the rounded line is sometimes straight but not always - one day it's as straight as version 1 of the squarish line, the next it zig-zags of goes everywhere but in one straight line..Version: 2.70
✓ Improvement Suggestions to Developer1. Pressure sensitivity (very important!) 2. Better brushes/pen options 3. The ability to copy/paste or import svg shapes from vector apps. (i.e. Affinity Designer, copy and paste a letter we designed it there to your app, or import from a saved svg of that letter) 4. The ability to import a font we created in FontLab/FontForge etc..Version: 3.34
✓ Can not import or create brushesI am upset that I paid for this app and outgrew it in a matter of a couple weeks. It is useless to me or anyone that what’s to creat fonts with brushes. The brushes that are installed on it are less than adequate for any application. Don’t waste your money..Version: 3.34
✓ HelpI accidentally bought this app, can i have a refund.Version: 3.41
✓ Would like more brush options!The app is good, but I would like color and brush options, such as a lighter color on the fonts, so I could do a two tone font. Also, other brushes, perhaps a double line brush? Otherwise it is an ok font maker..Version: 3.34
✓ DisappointingI was looking forward to using this app on my IPad Pro, however, I can’t even get through each letter without it crashing on me. My Apple Pencil stops responding to the app also right before it crashes. So frustrating spending this kind of money on an app that does not work properly. Ridiculous..Version: 2.93
