Word Swag - Cool Fonts for Negative User Reviews
✓ No free option to try thisDisappointed because it looks good but there’s no free option to us what it lets you create. Why bother then? Waste of time and there are other options out there..Version: 4.02
✓ Don't want to try proI just wanted to play with the app and see what it does but it wouldn't let me do that. No matter how many times I declined trying pro it blocked me from continuing unless I did. If I had found it useful I might have switched to pro but never going to know now..Version: 3.05
✓ App Crashes & kicks me out5 times I meticulously get all the words lined up to make a sentence (pain in the #*@ since can’t do more then 2 words or it changes to italics) where I want them & go to choose the font color, when I click on the textured or other color I’m kicked out of the app! So frustrating! I’ve even tried rebooting iPhone XS Max Still crashes. Hope you can fix this soon as I otherwise love the app (oh & if you can get it so you can make complete sentences with same font size & kind (no changing some words to italics & ability to choose same font look for all letters I’d love that). Thank you!.Version: 4.06
✓ Too Eager to get to buy ProOn the recommendation of a friend, I installed Word Swag and started to play with it on my iPhone. I was impressed until the app covered my work with a pop up to buy the Pro version! When that was closed there was a link to buy the said same Pro version over my work. When I would try edit the text the pop up about the Pro subscription would open. Very sad when this app had promise..Version: 2.5.6
✓ Dodgy UpgradesI had already paid for the premium version and after a new upgrade they’ve turned 70% of previously used fonts off saying you need to pay $4.99 a month for access and put the watermark back on. Iv used the same font for a year on my account and now it’s a monthly cost. Really unimpressed with Word Swag..Version: 2.5.1
✓ DON’T EVEN BOTHER!!Really disappointed in this app, after using it for many years the creators have decided to start charging a subscription fee for it even though when I got the app i paid for it outright!! and now ALL the extra written styles I bought have been taken away!! and now it asks me to start paying for them... Greedy much!! I was upgraded to PRO & then had it taken away so annoyed and disappointed.. I paid for it and I want what I paid for!!! DONT BE GREEDY & DOUBLE DIP...Version: 2.5.3
✓ Review of new WordSwagI’ve been a user of WordSwag for more than a few years. I’m not sure if this happened due to an update, because I got a new phone & had to reinstall the app or if the company just got greedy, but all of a sudden, all of the fonts & colors I used to use suddenly are only available on the Pro version. And they have their watermark on it. In fact when I chose “no” as an option to trial their Pro version for a week, it would not let me progress to the free version until I accepted the free one week trial. I guess they are counting on me forgetting & paying the $4.99 a month to use their app which is outrageous. This was by far my favorite photo editing app bc of how user friendly it is but a $5 monthly fee is just plain ridiculous. I have recommended this app to hundreds of friends each year but NO MORE!.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Distastefully PushyI purchased the app years ago for the one time fee. Briefly tried pro when it came out and then went back to the basic as it was all I needed. Now after not using it for a period of time I find that I cannot do ANYTHING - basic actions are all blocked with pop-ups trying to force an upgrade to pro. I’m deleting now. Yuck..Version: 4.56
✓ DisappointedThe subscription price per month is so expensive, I would’ve expected a once off payment. The fonts included free font really feel like some generic font found on a word document, only 2 of them really being nice. Include more free and nice fonts. Also export for it makes it blurry, when I try add it to my Instagram stories, the font becomes blurred. Overall disappointed..Version: 3.07
✓ Why does it keep freezing?!After purchasing it, the app freezes within a minute of using it. What am I doing wrong??.Version: 3.08
✓ Backwards step!So, I purchase this item for £4.99, which is great value considering having full functionality. The most recent update then removes the majority of font types and applies a watermark! Therefore, without paying a newly introduced monthly fee it is pretty well pointless. So in essence I have paid £4.99 a few different fonts and a watermarked image! Not happy. A real backwards step..Version: 2.5
✓ Not diverseI am quiet sad to have paid £5 for this app to find that it was not diverse at all. I am a black woman and was hoping I would find black people in the pictures. I wanted babies feet to use in the background but yes this did not have it. I now have to use my own pictures but am so sad that in 2018 it still hard to find black modules on apps such as this one. I would love my money back. I sure will be telling my circle of friends about the issue I experience on here. Such a shame as other than that it’s ok..Version: 2.2.8
✓ Cancelled the app but have been billed since and still ‘subscribed’After using the app on a trial basis I decided it wasn’t what I was after. After cancelling the subscription I have still been charged... UNSUBSCRIBED indefinitely!.Version: 3.05
✓ Don’t get proI was charged twice on the same day and still don’t have access to pro..Version: 4.1
✓ Great app but annoyed!!Is a good app but when I first install I originally paid for the app, with everything in the app for free, and it has now changed to monthly subscription or I have a word swag logo in the corner of my pictures!! Should make the app free and only charge new people monthly.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Disappointed Rip OffI have been using Word Swag for almost 2 years and now without notice they only give you a couple of fonts free and want to charge over $7 per month to use. No other options other than an automatic debit from your credit card. Another Company now going to lose business. I’ll be finding a different app now..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Lovely app, but too expensive for meI used to have this app on my old phone - it was brilliant. Very easy to use, great design, and produces good images. I would happily pay a one off fee for the app, but the current monthly cost is far too much for me to justify. It’s a shame as I really liked this app, but I will be searching for a cheaper alternative..Version: 2.5.3
✓ ShameI love this app and have been using it on my phone for over a year. However, having just been given an iPad, I’m really disappointed to realise when I downloaded it that I no longer would have use of all the features as I would have to pay a monthly subscription. Something I have never had to do on my phone. I don’t pay that much to use any app - certainly won’t start now! Shall just have to put up with using it on my phone for free. Considering there have been very few updates this year, (we were told new fonts every week but that didn’t happen) I shall have to find a more reasonably priced app if I have to pay for one..Version: 2.5.3
✓ Zero, if I couldNO. do not buy. this app used to work. not anymore. it’s full of bugs, crashing ALL the time, with basic functions, like adjusting text size, not working, thus rendering the app useless. BUT, worse of all is the complete lack of interest by the developers who collect your subscription. I have sent 5 emails asking for help with text size adjustment function. FIVE. as of today, there has been no answer. and that, on top of being unacceptable, i just dumb. cause here’s what’s going to happen the sec I post this comment. I will cancel my subscription and get the competitors app. one that works. one managed by people who actually care. byeee….Version: 4.44
✓ FeesI have this app on my Samsung only paid $4 something for the app once off fee have full access to fonts, I just got an iPad and I download this but if I want access to all the fonts and features I’ve got to pay $7 a month, how come it’s different pricing?.Version: 2.5.3
✓ Been jipped.Paid $8 for this app and it was worth 5 stars originally... Until I had to re download it from my cloud and now I'm being prompted to spend another $3 to download fonts I have been using for months on the original massive price I paid when I originally downloaded it !!! Tried to restore purchases and it won't work. and can't get in contact either..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Feature request.I love the app simple easy to use comes out great every time . One feature I’d like to see is the ability to draw a line and have the text follow that line. And the ability to mix fonts either of your choosing or if a random variety. I have the app called Pathon which does this nicely and has nice fonts as well I just hate switching between apps I don’t know if it’s possible I like your app for colors and features and think the ability to do this would be a bonus. Til then I’ll just switch between apps to curve my typography around and through objects. Ok I’ve used this app for awhile and love it obv got upgraded to pro version which I appreciate very much thankyou. So now new users have to pay 5$ a month to use it? Oh my I’m sorry I love the app it’s great but going to subscription based I don’t know. I understand the need to generate revenue but to be honest if it was that price I don’t think I would use it that’s really high. 60$ a year for an app? That’s absurd. Love the app once again not loving the new business model of subscriptions..Version: 2.5.3
✓ New filter update 👎🏼👎🏼I guess there’s been a new update to the app, and it’s totally changed the Image Filters. They look terrible now. Before you could use them and it didn’t really look like a filter was used, it just brightened the colors a bit and made my pictures look so nice! Whatever was updated with the filters is terrible now though. Especially with my 2 favorites (Sweet & Bowery). I used either of those to edit all my pics. The filters made the pics look so fresh and beautiful, without looking all gaudy and heavily filtered. Now the natural colors are filtered to look terrible, you can definitely tell the pics are filtered, and the pics look like they all have a fuzzy filter over them as well. I’m so disappointed, Bc after using this app for over 2 years it was definitely by far my favorite. Now I have to take the time to go through and find a different app that accommodates my needs Whatever update y’all did yo the filters, I wish you could undo it. :(.Version: 4.05
✓ New Update Limits Image UploadsI used to be able to upload my images into Word Swag & then add wording layers over the top. Now I can't do that which now makes it a much less useful graphic design tool. Please please put the function back in where you can add word layers after uploading an image!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.Version: 2.2.1
✓ NopeCan’t do anything with this app that’s free. Deleted it 🤷🏻♂️.Version: 4.00
✓ Beware. This App effectively requires you to sign on to a monthly chargeI don’t agree with Adobe’s avaricious monthly/yearly charges - but having said that; you get a lot more value from an Adobe subscription than this outrageously priced app, which requires you to pay a high monthly subscription to access this apps relatively limited functions. IMO, Apple should have a big red flag on any and all apps that have monthly subscriptions as any form of add-on; because more likely than not, said app is useless unless you pay to subscribe. This kind of app should be a one off cost..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Not as good as it wasI really liked this app but now after an update I am being forced to take up a free 7 day trial of the pro version. I don’t want to do the trial but I can’t do anything until I accept, so I guess I’ll just delete the app and find something else..Version: 4.00
✓ FontsYou need to unlock more fonts because this app is boring and in useful with out fonts. I can just edit it on my own using camera instead word swag. So unlock more fonts for people who aren’t buying. Everything else is really good tho. I hope you take my review into consideration because u really need to..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Worst app everIt doesn’t even let you edit anything. Just keeps asking you to upgrade. Garbage..Version: 4.42
✓ Deserves Zero StarsTypical money hungry model that wants your credit card details up front even to try its basic features, because they intend to charge you unless you remember to disable it. But they still have your details, so you’ve given that away. Hardly a safe model, so screw them. Because they use this model, I wouldn’t use their product even if it were the best one available..Version: 3.01
✓ Great app but recent update wrecked itI loved this app prior to the latest update. Now I can’t download any of the background images in the app. Always comes up with “Network Error. Looks like there was a problem downloading that image...” Fix please for better rating..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Not a happy guy, features taken away!😡I spent around £5 to purchase this app with the given features being available. They’ve now removed a significant amount of features and have added watermarks on the images which look dreadfully unprofessional now and makes the app useless for business purposes. Please restore the features (that I’ve originally paid for!) immediately, this is quite unacceptable on behalf of the app developers and I should not have to pay for ‘pro’ to access features that I previously had for free..Version: 2.5.3
✓ Please fixApp will not open at all!!.Version: 4.06
✓ Not bad, Not GreatThis app certainly does some chops things. The included text formats and options look great. There are, however, a few key elements missing from the current version. First, the ability to add more than one block of text without having to save and "Re-Swag". Second, the ability to "save" a preset setting to apply to multiple photos. This is easy if you are doing them back to back, but a "user favorites" or saved templates feature would be beneficial to achieve the same result multiple times. Finally, I did not find the interface to be very intuitive. I eventually found settings to create what I wanted, but found myself searching several times for a formatting option that wasn't in plain sight. I also did not like the idea that some features were still "premium" to the app. I would rather pay a dollar or two more and have a full-featured version without in-app purchases. Three Stars..Version: 2.1.5
✓ New update 👎🏻I PURCHASED this app over a year ago and it worked well - I loved it. But now with the new update it is basically unusable unless I upgrade to pro, costing me MORE money! I’m not impressed. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling after reading a recommendation to someone experiencing the same issue as me and it is still telling me to upgrade. Again, I say I am NOT IMPRESSED!.Version: 2.5.3
✓ Make WordSwag Great AgainI used to use this application religiously. It was one of the essentials to own on an iPhone. I will never pay a subscription to use an app of this kind and it’s sad to see them going this way. It USED to be amazing but now this is absolutely useless. Sorry to have to delete it but that’s what happens when you get greedy..Version: 2.5.5
✓ Love this App but...I love this app and use it a lot however I originally thought this was free with in-app purchases not a sneaky subscription that appears on my credit card for $5 a month. You have to make sure with all these apps that it’s not a subscription. Sometimes you find the info at the very bottom of the description page which is also often worded in a way that is confusing. But hey my fault! I didn’t read and reread and triple check. I would have been happy to buy extra fonts and all of that as I app purchases but with the limited amount of options and it being a subscription service, it’s not worth the $5 a month. In three weeks my subscription ends and that’s okay. I’ll miss it but I just don’t think it’s worth it..Version: 2.5.5
✓ Crippled app. Uninstalling right awayCan’t get past the obnoxious try pro version. Too expensive for what it does.Version: 4.01
✓ Help, please!How can I stop paying for this app?.Version: 3.08
✓ Growing but Falls ShortThere have been a few improvements over the years but I am repeatedly finding it difficult to find any real use for this app. Too often the font characters and lines are too close or the text lacks the ability to add additional contrast, e.g. Adding a shadow or outline. In either case the text can hardly be read when placed atop an image..Version: 2.5.6
✓ Not freeThis not a free app. It won’t let me use it unless I purchase the pro version which is a monthly fee. If I would have the chance to play with it and create something I would have upgrade. But since I don’t know if I like it or not I deleted it..Version: 3.06
✓ Constantly freezesI used to love this app and use it daily but now I just find it freezes constantly and locks the page so I lose everything I’ve created and can’t use the app again for a while. Very frustrating for a paid app..Version: 2.2.9
✓ Another old favorite Paywalls me out of use.This app was one of my favorite apps in the entire App Store for making Instagram posts - I was a Digital Art enthusiast and aspiring graphic design student in high school and college, and used this app all the time on my posts. When I finally updated the app again on my new phone after grandfathering the app in, I found that the app I had paid money for to use initially was now unusable except by paying a ridiculous weekly subscription. I wish legal action was cheaper or that there was some kind of recourse available to me - Tapping “restore” does nothing. I don’t make art anymore except with pen and paper now, because stuff like this makes me sick... Thank you for all the great years..Version: 4.02
✓ Nothing is freeFor free you can add an image and place some coloured text on it but you can’t do anything else. No export is available. Manipulating the text with two fingers on a small iPhone screen is not easy or accurate. At US$7.49 per month plus tax for the pro version it’s completely over priced for what it is. There are much better free apps available. Don’t bother downloading. It’s free to download but after that it costs. I didn’t bother wasting my time with the 7 days free Pro trial as I didn’t like the look and feel of the limited options available immediately after downloading..Version: 4.01
✓ Frustrating at bestI’ll start by saying how helpful WordSwag has been. It saves a ton of time compared to opening and editing content on a desktop platform, and has a great variety of fonts. Wish there were more, but I’ve been able to create many graphics on the go with this program. Downside - you can’t save any edits, content, or progress you’ve made to a graphic. If you need to revise anything, you have to restart from ground zero. Also, very frustrating that many times the text you’re in the process of editing will simply disappear. The same goes for background images - so many times I’ve been in the process of editing text and the edits I made to the background image will suddenly revert to the original image. Love the concept, but WordSwag has a lot of work left to do as an app. Also not a fan of the watermark the new version of the app leaves on images..Version: 4.00
✓ It might be good if it actually workedTesting this out to see if it’s worth paying for pro. I finally got an image the way I wanted it which was extremely difficult due to the “try pro” button that they stuck in the middle of the image I was working on THE ENTIRE TIME. And every time you tap anywhere near it it brings up the free trial offer. This made it very difficult and frustrating to change or move the text around When I finally got the image I liked...there was absolutely no way to save it. I figured It was a glitch, so I exited the app and started over. The “save” in the top right corner was there when I would pick my background but would disappear every time on the add text page. Happened 3 or 4 times before I gave up. If they’re trying to push people into paying for the app this is not the way to do it. I’ll be deleting it..Version: 3.05
✓ Unfortunately Lost customer and recommendationsI had WordSwag for a very long time and really enjoyed using it and always recommend it to friends and family. I had to briefly delete most apps off my phone due to storage issues but once had that sorted downloaded it again to discover you now have to pay to use it with what seems to be no extra dazzle dazzle 🤨🤷🏻♀️.Version: 4.00
✓ 👎🏻Everything used to be free. A monthly subscription for all that had been free for years ?! Really ?! Greediness is no virtue..Version: 2.5.3
✓ 3 instead of 5 because...Word Swag is great and all. The fonts are amazing and they offer backgrounds including transparent ones. However, I don’t have the pro version and I can’t pay for it. I know y’all have to make money somehow, but I just wish you guys could offer more free fonts. I also would appreciate it if the watermark would go away. Word Swag has so much potential and is very useful, but you guys are just blocking us from using it when you make us pay for the pro version for literally everything. The app is free, so at least half of the content should be free to those who can’t pay. If these things change, then I would totally consider giving it 5 stars..Version: 4.01
✓ Love it but...Love it but not happy that it keeps telling me that there’s no space on my phone to save it.Version: 3.07
✓ A little disappointedI have had this app for almost two years now and I use it for my business. It has been truly wonderful, and free. I have used it almost daily. I got a notification a while back telling me that I qualified for the FREE PRO VERSION since I was one of the originals or something like that. Last night I tried opening my app to edit a pic. Nothing but a black screen. So I updated the app. Nothing. I waited till this AM thinking there was a glitch... then I got a notification to update my iPhone. So I did. As soon as I got my phone back up and running, I went back to the word swag app, it was still the same. Black. Couldn’t access anything. I decided to delete the app and re-download it. IT FINALLY WORKS!! Yaaayyy!! And now I have to pay $5 plus tax a month for it...... total bummer! And that’s what is going to kill this rating. Do I think this app is worth charging for? Of course!! It’s an amazing app, but $5??? A month?? Def not!! Not sure how long I will keep this for that price. Also, I wish there was a way to get this resolved... it’s very disappointing..Version: 2.5.2
✓ No longer usable. Pixelated and Exporting IssuesCan you please fix the app, for some reason text examples are pixelated and be it low or high quality it is exporting incorrectly and nothing like the in-app example. The app is literally unusable now. I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, everything is up to date, yet it still doesn’t work..Version: 4.42
✓ Good but feel robbedIt would be rated 5 stars if they would let the logo be put on the very picture that gets saved. I feel robbed when my picture gets saved without the logo the first time and the option to add logo is only the second time. Which means my original picture is saved elsewhere also without my logo..Version: 4.02
✓ Love this app but...Feel so constrained by the limited fonts. I do want more to choose from and cooler ones as well as ability to edit ie placement of words once I’ve got it almost perfect and make words large. Some are so running writing scrawly you can’t actually read it.. if you could slightly tweak would be better. And automatic black ... always have to choose it. Should just be black with choice to change font colour.Version: 2.2.9
✓ App is unusableI purchased this app back when it first began and paid for it outright. Now you have decided to change the business model to subscription you’ve rendered the app useless unless we pay... again. When switching the app over why did you not consider grandfathering it for users like me who not only paid for your app BUT referred it to so many others to also use???? Disappointing to see profit over people. Shame on you!.Version: 2.5.1
✓ It could be very goodYou have to purchase to get font options. They give you very few to try out.Version: 3.08
✓ Mostly goodA great app to create Insta and Facebook pics with text. Lots of great backgrounds and fonts. Unfortunately you can't place the text the way you want it. It formats it for you and rarely the right way. It would also help if you could save a pic and then go back to edit it rather than start again..Version: 2.2.5
✓ Good app, with some flawsPros: - There aren't any glitches. - The way of cropping pictures is convenient (it tells you what size is best for Facebook, twitter, Instagram, etc.). - There's some neat fonts - The way of placing a quote on a photo is easy and uncomplicated Cons: - I feel like for the price, you should get more fonts. I've paid for/unlocked everything, and I was expecting there to be more. There's only maybe 4-5 that I really use. I really hope they'll update it and make more fonts available. - You have to like their Facebook page to unlock one font. I hate when companies do that. I do it, but I always go and unlike the page immediately after. - I wish there were separate symbols and shapes you could add to your pictures. Like lines, ampersands, or geometric shapes. These are commonly included with other similar apps, and it's a pain to hop from app to app to finish one picture. - The premade quotes that you can select from are bizarre. I was expecting something cute or motivational but all of them are weird or are early 2000's jokes..Version: 2.1.5
✓ More ability to adjust would be greatIf you could manipulate the font sizes, that would be helpful. The different styles are all preset and you have no ability to manipulate within.Version: 3.08
✓ Commercial Use?I downloaded this app and it seemed ok. Realised I would need to get the pro version to use it to fullest advantage. Tried to find the Ts&Cs of use as I wanted to use my designs commercially. But it seems impossible to find out who owns all the fonts and whether we can safely use designs made using Word Swag, commercially. There are warnings online telling people that the creators of Word Swag don’t own all the fonts and that we could end up violating copyright. Lots of people online are trying to get an answer to this important issue but it seems that a definitive yes or no answer is not forthcoming. To be on the safe side I have deleted the app and will stick with Typorama whose makers clearly state designs can be used commercially..Version: 4.41
✓ Great app but not paying monthlyGood app but I’m not paying a monthly fee. If it was a one time fee I would pay it. Will use other apps with one time fees..Version: 3.07
✓ Not anymoreUsed to love this app. It just stopped working out of no where. Can’t use it a all. I’ve reinstalled. Still nothing. Then I read all the reviews that it’s now a monthly subscription? No thank you..Version: 2.5.4
✓ There is no way to test this without creating an accountAn account must be created to use anything you create. I am not interested in signing up for something I am not sure I want to continue to use without testing first. I am certainly not interested in signing up for automatic monthly billing just so I can get my final artwork for testing. Other free options are out there. Too bad - looks promising..Version: 4.02
✓ Can’t do anythingI had this app on my other phone and it works so poorly now.Version: 4.00
✓ It was great..I got a new phone, so I had to reinstall all my apps. I had all the fonts open, unpaid for of course, and now basic ones I used everyday for almost a year I need to pay for. Seems a bit unreasonable considering I already paid $5 for the app. I get the developers have a business to run too, but seems a little much. The editing process is ridiculous. If I need to "reswag" something, I shouldn't need to have it saved automatically before adding more too it. Waste of time and space on my phone. I use it a lot for on the go type graphics I need, but it's quite obnoxious to deal with at times..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Logo issuesI used to used to use my logo without an issue as it has no background and now it no longer works. The app applies a background and my logo no longer appears as it should.Version: 3.05
