IFontMaker for Positive User Reviews

Amazing!When I first downloaded ages ago I found it too daunting and didn’t do anything with it but I found a class on Skillshare with Liz Kohler Brown who shows you how to use it and she makes it so simple and I’m so excited by it now, it’s brilliant!.Version: 2.93

Astoundingly good!Huge fun to use, stylish and intuitive interface, with a great set of editing tools including copy and paste, reshaping, and a choice of ghosted fonts to base yours on (if you wish to). The ability to create kerning pairs would be useful - if it's in there I haven't found it - and better help would, er, help. A pen tool is also a top requirement. As it stands, the app is great for creating hand written fonts, but not for much else. But this is still a five star app, at a truly good price..Version: 0

PerfectJust what I was looking for! Great app, really easy to use. Only feedback would be to make it more obvious how to export the font as a ttf, took me a while to find out. Definitely worth the money :) thanks!.Version: 1.8

I Love it! Missing a Couple Things...By far the easiest and fastest font maker there is! From letter creation to file export, it couldn’t be more seamless! PLEASE ADD... 1. More brush options-I realize this isn’t Procreate but it would be amazing to have at least a few more brush option. 2. Some sort of smoothing or snap to shape/line so that editing was a little less tedious. It’s amazing how it is and I am so grateful to have it :) Just always find myself wishing for a few more features.Version: 3.11

DIY font makingA great app to help you design your own 'fun' font. The editing and drawing tools are fairly limited though, but using an existing font as a template ensures that the letters that you create are balanced in proportion to each other. If app could be excellent.Version: 1.6.2

Best app EVER!!!I’ve always wanted to have a font using my hand style for CAD drawings. 30+ years in design as an engineer and technical illustrator. Used every form of Autodesk and other tools. Tried all sorts of SHX files. Never got close to what this app lets me produce. I’ve never had a crash. Maybe older versions did. This one is fantastic. Takes a little knowledge of font design to really make use of the power of this app. Grab a book on typography if you don’t understand why letter spacing doesn’t seem to work for you. Then go back in and adjust your letters using the advanced tools in the app. If you’re a graphic designer this is a MUST HAVE. If you’ve just always wanted your own carefully developed hand written copy on your digital drawings, now you have a tool to do it! Not a paid endorsement. Just stinking love using this app :).Version: 2.91

Big funWho didn't love to create their own customed lettering when they were young, or copy the lettering off album sleeves. This is just a huge amount of fun. A perfect tool for idling away a long commute, doodling away fonts. Granted this is not a fully functional font creation tool with custom kerning and bezier curves, but it is perfect for iPad usage. Well supported with a web site, and the ability to create exportable and usable fonts. The main limitation is likely to be your imagination. If you like this check out the web based FontStruct, which offers another accessble way to create your own fonts..Version: 1.6.2

Where is the £?Can anyone tell me if it's there, love playing with the app, have seen the '$' but as I'm in the U.K. I need the sterling symbol?.Version: 1.6.1

WowI wasn't expecting something like this! Could use a few more tools and perhaps some precise editing options but otherwise this is pretty cool..Version: 0

Amazing, needs more toolsA great app that could be even better with a few additions to the toolset. I would happily pay for some extra features like being able to render the font straight in the app rather than having to go through the online process. Also it really needs proper vector tools to be able to design more than hand drawn fonts. It would also be great to be able to fill an outline without having to fill it manually with lots of strokes. Overall highly recommended and keep up the great work developers!.Version: 1.6.1

Lovely and straight forward tool.I downloaded this last night and have managed to produce a couple of useable fonts. I've made a few before and for the money was not expecting anything much but this app produces very good results if you want to make personal fonts or fonts that don't need total control of detail. What I've managed to do is produce useable headline fonts and hand style fonts for use in info panels, etc, and am already working on a bunch of others based on drawn characters. If it has bezier editing I have not discovered it yet but I would rather do that on my main machine anyway. Forget total precision and have fun with it. I am..Version: 1.6.1

I LOVE IT!!!I have wanted to create a font of my own handwriting for so very long and this one is perfection. I did have a couple of crashes but I will attribute those to user error, as I was getting used to the app. I have created my first font that is available in other apps and I have got to tell you that it is the most amazing fun to type really fast in my own hand. Thank you thank you thank you.Version: 2.93

Clean, simple, and great for most purposesIf this had the ability to erase bits, and better control over precise line strokes when drawing with the Apple Pencil—rather than having to go it and tweak—this would get the extra star for being a great, simple tool for quickly creating fonts. The online gallery of users’ submissions is a Wild West of thousands of unsorted fonts, so doesn’t function as a way to discover other creators’ work, but overall this is a nice, clean, easy-as-pie tool that actually makes adjusting kerning enjoyable..Version: 3.32

Wishlist• Fine tuning with keyboard. • Option/Shift click to select multiple items. • Flip Horizontally and Vertically • Better knob selection, it is often hard to grab a knob to adjust paths. The work around is to zoom in and selection gets better. • Quick shapes/paths (like ovals, rectangles et cetera that are ready to insert and manipulate). • Custom ruler/s guides that appear both globally and on certain glyphs. • Ruler (like in Pages or Adobe products) that allows you to see the metrics easier. • More refined grid (maybe add sub grids so you can better see the metrics between spaces..Version: 3.49

Cool but crashyI love the app; it let's you create your own font sets and upload them to your Mac or PC. Amazingly easy to create them with a touch interface. Very cool and cheap at the price. However, the app crashes regularly, losing recent edits on whatever character I was last editing. Otherwise, it's great and I hope an update will soon solve the crashing issues..Version: 0

HelloI love this app, although it cost A LOT I like it. Please change how much it costs so my other friends can get the app :) $5 maybe but it's up to you.Version: 1.6.2

Fantastic appThis is a brilliant font making app. It is very easy to use, and contains everything you might want for creating a new font. You can even create a full character set, not only with the accented and miscellaneous characters (æ, î, ø, ü, etc) but it includes a very large extended set of latin unicode characters (characters like œ, Þ, ĕ, ƥ), and even Japanese, greek/coptic, cyrillic, thai, and web and dingbats. It is great value for money and is comparable to software packages that cost $500-$1000 on a computer… I created a 135 character extended unicode font in fifteen minutes that would have taken me days if I was using conventional computer font software using the mouse etc. Brilliant!.Version: 1.8

Good app, could be AMAZING with new toolsThe app makes designing fonts very easy and quick BUT..... it lacks some tools which could save time and allow you to do more detailed work. First, please give us an eraser tool. Pleaseeee.Version: 3.32

Excellent App!!!!Ultra easy to use with some great features to create great fonts. Would definitely recommend!.Version: 2.61

Fantastic but needs improvements!I can honestly say I adore this app. I have been working hard in it. I love the ease of use but there are some minor things the developer could add to really make this app sing. Simple things such as an eraser, a fill option, a snap option that can be turned on and off and so on. It’s the little things that will make this tool explode. I’m so grateful for it even at its most basic stage and look forward to new developments!.Version: 3.48

Cool, just coolA great app for the iPad. Intuitive and fun. Love to see a greater selection of pen and brush widths, but that's a quibble..Version: 0

It is so close to a 5 StarI LOVE this app but don't like that you cannot adjust the pen radius, they are far too thick for the nice fonts i want to make. Please please PLEEEEASE make this available..Version: 1.8

Request for RTL LanguagesPlease update this awesome app to support of Persian and Arabic languages so we can make font in our languages too and use self made font in our projects and surely we mention you guys when we publish our work , if you support RTL languages Surely you will have a larger target community of consumers and this will be beneficial for both sides of the story. Thank you for your efforts to prepare this wonderful application and I hope you will consider my request in order to make the app better and more productive..Version: 3.34

Good appNearly five out of five. The place where you download the fonts isn’t secured, it just needs some code to prevent the information laving the site. Also could use a couple of extra brushes. Otherwise it does enable me to make really cool fonts..Version: 3.41

An absolutely fantastic app!This is a first class app and, within a few days of download, one of my favorites. As a designer I love working with custom fonts and often have hand drawn lettering I wished I could use as fonts. I had always in the past painstakingly hand lettered all such art. This app has solved all my problems in a few minutes! A great user interface and a simple as can be operation means your limited only by your imagination and what your hand can draw for fully functional typefaces of your own creation! Easily one of the best apps on my iPad and another quick answer for anyone who claims the iPad is not a creation tool. I love this app!.Version: 0

Almost perfectI love this app. I use if frequently to create some of my fonts. The only thing that I feel it’s missing is more brush options. I would probably use only this app if it had more options, because the convenience of it. I like the vector brushes so please don’t take anything away, but more options would be awesome..Version: 3.42

Simple, intuitive, great possibilitiesThis app is outstanding. It has a simple, intuitive interface and works exactly as it's touted to work. I created a font of my own handwriting in about ten minutes. No, it's not the greatest font in the world. But I *could* create a great (or at least useful) font using this app – the limiting factor being my own typographic talent, not the app. No regrets at all about shelling out a totally reasonable $7..Version: 0

Well worth the price and more or less easy to useI don’t know why this app has so little reviews because it made me beyond impressed. It’s easy to use in the most basic functions however in more advanced functions such as making bold versions of fonts and making connective fonts there is a learning curb if it’s your first time using I recommend skimming through a YouTube tutorial and visiting the developer tumblr as it outlines some of the less straight forward functions as I don’t think they’re something that a person could reasonably figure out on their own, but other then that I think it’s a brilliant font making resource!.Version: 3.32

ITunes file sharing now mendedAfter the previous update I couldn't access my existing font designs or upload my previously saved fonts to the app via iTunes file sharing. I emailed the developers, got a nice reply that a fix was in the works. And lo and behold the latest version arrived and works great again! Kudos to Eiji and Tom..Version: 2.07

Small tweaks needed, but a great app anywayRaise your hand if you two finger tap to back up every time you need to undo something on... *raises both hands high in the air* Every. Single. Time. Other than that it seems to be a great app on the iPad mini 5. My only complaints are not being able to two finger tap to undo, and the move tool and features are slightly awkward. I would love to see better options for rotating and shrinking in the future. It seems those are lacking for an app of this price and ability..Version: 2.93

GET IT!!Finally, a useful app that isn’t just keyboards or subscriptions. I’m extremely happy with my font and it came out great. I don’t know what everyone else is on about; this font app you want. Absolutely golden and worth every penny..Version: 3.50

Creativity on the move.This is a superb app that allows the creation of fonts anywhere. It is very easy to use, with the added ability to use the authors website to create ttf files. These ttf fonts are then available for import into other apps on the iPad, such as Graphic or AnyFont. Good price for a well designed and stable app..Version: 2.81

Very coolI want to provide balance to some of the negative (out of date) reviews. I've used the current version solidly for two days, and it did crash once. The app is especially suitable for handwriting and casual lettering fonts (you really could convert your handwriting into a font in a minute!), or even a display/novelty font. It is less suitable for someone needing a full featured font editor with multiple weights etc. With patience, someone could create some lovely fonts, though. The custom brushes convert strokes into artistic lines for very nice effects. The ability to convert lines into editable outlines makes this a powerful tool. And fonts can be easily shared, or installed on your iOS device directly, or downloaded to your desktop (PC or Mac). I was able to create a Hebrew alphabet even though the characters are not displayed by default, an easy work around allows you to create custom alphabet sets. And the Hebrew properly goes from right to left..Version: 2.70

Great app but where is an eraser?What a fantastic app to create own fonts BUT it lacks refinement. Any pencil needs a sidekick and it’s called eraser! For some small mistakes, eraser would do a great job instead redo it again. Please consider update soon with eraser tool and more pen options..Version: 3.34

Please add more languages!I really love this app, but there is one problem: not enough languages to choose from! Could you please add Hebrew, Korean, some more Chinese characters (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and Hindi letters?.Version: 2.93

Pretty goodI have been looking for a good font maker for some time that I could buy without having to pay a reoccurring subscription. I took a chance and bought this one, something I wouldn’t normally do without trying it out first. It is very good and with a bit of practice it produces good quality fonts on my IPad Pro with a Apple Pencil. Saving fonts could be a bit simpler but can be done and I’m pleased with this product. Good stuff..Version: 3.45

Great appLove how easy it is to create your own fonts but would be great if we could copy and modify popular fonts so they don’t look as hand written.Version: 2.93

Good for hand written fonts but still needs workI have played with this about 15min and love the hand writing ability. the finger tool that can bend the line is useful but needs getting used to I think. the only real downside that dropped it a star from top is: although there is a straight line tool there is not an arc/semicircle tool and the straight line tool ends can't be rounded easily, an option for this would be nice. I hope these appears in an update. overall I enjoy it but may end up on a pc to create the final project..Version: 1.8

MrGood but keeps freezing.needs a bit more work...Version: 2.70

Great app!!Love this app, lots of fun!! A bit pricy but it is super easy to use and creates beautiful fonts! Only limitation is that the fonts cannot be utilised by the iPad which is a shame..Version: 1.6.2

Use this appI love and actually use this app. Also my kids love it we use our fonts made on their iPads in fun ways please add iOS 12 support so we can continue to enjoy your awesome app!.Version: 2.91

Best font CREATION appThere really aren’t many (if any) to compare this to. So it deserves praise for that much. I only wish the pen tool existed. This has similar tools but not similar enough. I also wish you could create your own stroke types to use. Good font creation app for iPad otherwise of course..Version: 2.95

Amazing!!!Wonderful app, Ive been waiting a long time to be able to make a font, and without much typography knowledge I finally found an easy, intuitive and instant software (and webservice) to do that. Fantastic. Very happy, and the quality is super. I think if I had more technical knowledge I could do more with the app. It certainly helped to get some immediate ideas out and want to learn more about how to use full fontography programs like FontForge with some ability. Many Many Many Thanks. Especially, definitely, without question a nigh perfect app for anyone has a beautiful handwriting style they would like to turn into a usable digital font. Thank You!!.Version: 2.07

Update of the missing lettersUpdate: The letters in English appears ok, but when I change the shape it doesn’t appear. The only letters that don’t appear is the “H h” and “@“.Version: 3.49

No SMP character support?!I am making fonts that support SMP characters but they just appear as a half A and another half A. Please fix this bug, please!.Version: 2.91

This is Great!This is a pretty good app, it does need more brushes,but it’s an Amazing app compared to the other font apps. I’m still not sure how to use the fonts I make tho.Version: 3.41

Easy to use font creatorI adore iFontMaker 💕 Everything is easy to use. I’ve now got around 18 fonts for sale all made with this app. My only suggestions would be an eraser and the ability to export .otf .woff .woff2 .eot and .svg font files (it’d save me time in converting from the .ttf). With these you’d be five stars ⭐️.Version: 3.49

FinallyWith the new Anyfont app now I can use this font maker and actually use it on my ipad..Version: 1.8

Just what I wanted!This is a really nice app - it looks good and is really easy to use. If you need to make a font for whatever reason, this is the best solution I have found and the price is very reasonable for the functionality. Coupled with a stylus even a clumsy oaf like me can make a font that looks quite nice!.Version: 1.8

Almost Perfect - Wish There Were More UpdatesThere’s nothing quite like this on the Apple app store I’ve found. Everything for fonts is about texting with DIY fonts and using them in emojis. They’re built differently. I’ve been using iFontMaker for some years now, and I love it! I’ve even made a font that I write one of my biggest novels with. If you try to make fancier fonts, however, especially cursive ones, you’ll notice the shortcomings almost right away. Letters should be able to change depending on the letters they end up near. I’m not sure if it’s just out of the scope of what an app can do on iOS or not, but you’re out of luck if you want to make ANY cursive handwriting. Each letter is going to have to be stand-alone and look good as a stand-alone in the overarching font style, because there’s no way to add a setting to say…have l run into e which runs into u and i. There are some bugs too and it seems like the app has been abandoned. Now, I do think it’s still worth the price I bought it at, and it really is great for being able to make some simpler fonts so that you know you own the font and you can use it however/whenever/wherever you want. But if the creator ever wants to come back to the app and make updates, add features, etc, I’d be happy to pay more! (Just long as it’s not a subscription…).Version: 3.49

Best iPad app i have boughtI have no reservations in giving this app 5 stars. It is quite simply one of the best iPad apps i have used. The uncluttered interface allows you to get started within moments of opening the app for the first time. Well positioned grid lines and an 'example font' in the background give you a head start on the glyph shapes. The ability to copy whole glyphs or just individual strokes allows you to make accented characters with ease. A really well thought out app. The recent addition of file sharing is fantastic - i can have my iPad back now that my mum can transfer her font project to her own iPad!.Version: 0

Brilliant App!I love this app soooo much, I wish I had more reasons to make fonts! I needed to make a font with a very specific detail for using in other creative apps. It’s simple and beautifully created. I think I’ll be making more fonts just for the fun of it! Well done and thank you!.Version: 2.95

Wow! I am addictedMany years ago, I loved the Amiga app that allowed you to construct rudimentary fonts. Now, I have it again, except much more fluid and beautiful. Easy to use. Efficient design. Get a pogo stick and build your own personal handwriting font for be creative and let inspiration take over and create your masterpiece. Great work!.Version: 0

Great Little AppI love this app. So easy and straight forward to use. I love being able to create my own writing styles and fonts. It could be better in one way, allowing it to be landscape mode, especially on iPad, a little difficult to work on it portrait. Other than that, it’s brilliant..Version: 2.93

5 star service from the teamI have been using this elegant App for a few years now and it is intuitive, versatile and really works. If you are creative, then having your own typeface can really add a unique touch to a piece. I recently transferred my data to a new iPad and in the process found I was unable to use the app. I reached out to the developers and they steadfastly responded, guiding me with multiple emails over several days and then scoured my files to seek out a corrupt piece of data, once it was deleted I was up and running again. They even did this on a Sunday. I cant state my praise for this level of support enough, Eiji you are indeed a star..Version: 3.41

More fun than most gamesI've had iFontMaker less than 36hrs and made five cool fonts - WOW!.Version: 0

Great app for creating rough draftsWhile this is a perfectly useful app for creating a complete font file, in my opinion its greatest strength is in letting you easily create excellent rough drafts of handwritten fonts. I’m able to easily sketch out, modify, and perfect each glyph using my Apple pencil, which helps the authentic look of this style of font. Then I can easily export it as a font file and bring it into a desktop application like FontLab to do the kerning and ligatures. I have tried out the kerning options in the app and they work fine. If you’re just doing a one-off font or two, go ahead and finalize it in the app. But if you’re more of a regular font designer, I think this is a great app for that first design stage. My only request would be to add in customizable pen shapes. I’d evn pay extra for that feature!.Version: 3.49

"Install iOS Font" doesn't do anythingUnfortunately I am unable to use the installed font in any app because the button simply does not do anything..Version: 3.49

Love but need moreLove this app, but would love more brushes or ability to upload our own..Version: 2.91

Customizable grid neededPlease add the option for a customizable grid and allow grid to stay on while drawing. or vertical width lines. Overall a good app.Version: 2.95

Just to let you know..this app still rocksHave not seen recent reviews. I’m very happy with this app. I am running iPad Pro with iOS 12 and Apple Pencil. It runs well and has installed my font to my system fonts through any font...Version: 2.91

The iPad was made for thisI fully endorse everything that georgeorgeorge says the previous review. This is an excellent app, great value for money - and really astonishing in its ease of use. There are some rough edges, and certainly room for improvement and development, but this is one of those rare occasions where an app deserves a 5-star rating despite those qualifications. Despite the lack of a comprehensive tutorial or video I'd produced my own handwriting font, transferred it to my laptop, and was using it in Pages within 10 minutes. Great fun, intuitive and inventive. If anyone ever claims that the iPad is 'only for content consumption', just show them this. I look forward to seeing where the developers go with future updates..Version: 0

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)It’s a pretty good app, simple to use with a good amount of features. The only real problem that I have is that I literally can’t paste the ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) face into kerning in any way or the app will automatically crash. It is physically unable to handle it. Admittedly it is pretty funny, but I wish it would stop crashing..Version: 3.44

You Need This App!I made my own font years ago but it took two days - writing,scanning,resizing,and re-touching was just *painful without this app*. This app literally makes all of your documents (and all devices and computers I use) into your own with your own handwriting coming from keyboard - that's the major reason I bought it for. It only took <10 mins. Quick notes to people has a very nice extra touch them. Many other uses for app. Useful professionally, personally, etc. thx iFontMaker!.Version: 2.81

Wonderful for making your own fontsI’ve had this app for a number of years and have had no problems making fonts that I can install in iOS and on my Mac. Had not used the app in awhile, but opened it up again recently and had forgotten how much fun it is..Version: 2.95

Great type maker app, simple and powerfulI love this app since 2010! It makes typeface and font creation a productive quick and easy. One thing though, I wish it would work with iPad Pro Pencil pressure. Looking forward for this feature..Version: 2.61

My wish list!Hello I'm just starting to utilize your app and would like to say it's amazing in so many ways! Although I'm having difficulty with setting the border perimeter settings and/or adjusting the selected font to reduce the size of the font so it may be fit within the lines. A palm reset would be a nice feature to be added! As well as the perimeter lines to be able to be adjusted on the main screen!... Also to install the fonts from device fonts is working very slowly! If this could be fixed in your next update would be appreciated! Also maybe an eraser feature for when lines overlap would be helpful!... I will be more then happy to give you a 5 star rating when updates are made!... Thank you for your time and concern in these matters. Thank you Alta PLEASE CAN YOU DO AN UPDATE TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR FOLDERS, WITHIN THE APP??.... "All perimeter lines should be able to move!.... ALSO A "FLIP" SETTING?... AND A MANUAL ERASER?.... All these features wold totally rock, I think most people that utilize this app as much as I do may agree! I'll be waiting Thank you.Version: 2.81

New version update 😊Very cleverI have made a load of fonts on my PC, and it is always a painstaking process. This new update keeps all the fast and friendly features of version 1, and adds some serious tools that should make it possible to create more easily than ever if you're working with an iPad pro and pencil. Thanks for the unexpected update🤓.Version: 2.61

Surprisingly awesome!I don't often write reviews, I rate apps but I have sat down to write this off my own back for once! I read reviews and sometimes when I see a lot of 5* I wonder if the developer has encouraged people to write by giving them something but this isn't a game, you don't win a cup for writing a review. I'm writing this review because the app is that good! It does what it says, you can create your own font, straight from your handwriting or someone else's. If you have any experience of anchor points then it will help you, there is a similarity in Adobe illustrator and having used that I found this really easy to adjust each of the letters to the shape I wanted. Even if you have no experience, this is worth every penny. I've never spent this much on an app before but I need it for work and took the risk. I can tell you that the reward will be great! Thank you, so much!!.Version: 2.91

Unbelievable...Unmistakably, undeniably, without a shadow of a doubt, the best app I have ever come across in the app store. I am forever trawling Apple's app store looking for new and exciting apps to add to my iPad and this does nothing less than exceed all my expectations. As a graphic designer, the chance to create typefaces on such an open, creative format like this is inspiring and a pure joy! The idea behind the app itself is simple yet obviously incredibly difficult to achieve, yet the guys and girls at 2TTF have pulled it off remarkably well. Minor, if not unsubstantial, glitches and errors occur from time to time but hardly worth losing sleep over when you realise what a powerful tool this could potentially be in the design industry. The one minor adjustment I would ever suggest could be made to improve the app further would be to have more control over the accuracy and placement of creating each character. At the moment it is great for creating quite free, simplistic typefaces. I would relish the opportunity to produce an accurate, precise typeface that could rival others created in professional software such as fontlab. In spite of this, iFontmaker is an unbelievable app that has made an immediate impact on the way I use my iPad. It now feels like it has a definitive purpose! It isn't just an expensive toy after all! Phew!!.Version: 0

Great fun, but......is there no way to actually use your newly created font on your iPad?...surely this is a must?....Version: 0

Finally... Something Worth BuyingI've really felt ripped off by some of the app's out there... but not this one! It was true to it's claim in that it created a font based on my lettering style and did it within 5 minutes. For anyone that likes to send personalized notes, cards or envelopes this is a wonderful solution. I can see where my entire salesfoce will want to borrow my iPad so that they can make their own personal fonts!.Version: 0
