What two App Store reviewers had to say about Character Pad:
"Dead easy to use and works a treat! Update with more characters some time........" - Soxcat
"Fast, simple, does one thing and does it seemlessly. No more having to write ½ as 1/2. Thank you, well worth the dollar!" - Auntmarge64
• If you're looking for a more complete special character writing experience, please search the App Store for "Character Writer" and check out our special character text editor.

Disappointed

Every time I try to use it it includes a question mark inside a box. I just want the character. Don’t need a stupid boxed question mark beside it. Completely overshadows the chosen character.
keeps on crashing :/

i came from the character pad website and this app has been really helpful. but lately it’s been crashing each time I open the app. I have an iPhone XR and I haven’t updated to version 13.3 yet so idk if that’s the issue, but it’s been crashing for a while and idk why.
Exactly as stated

Works as stated. I used it for making flash card for class. Faster then looking up and copying symbols from google.
Cumbersome at best

While this app allows you to pick up and put special characters in your docs, it is extremely cumbersome to have to bounce back and forth between this app to grab symbols, and another app where you are composing your document. The author/developer sums it up best in his description of the newer released app, "Character Writer" ... "Character Writer has been a long time in development and was born out of the frustration normally produced by attempting to compose technical reports on the iPad - often requiring special characters to be copied and pasted individually from a webpage." The only saving grace is that Character Pad is free if you are poor and desperate. I would recommend passing this up and going straight to Character Writer instead.
Upset!

This new update took all of the zodiac glyphs that I have been using to write moon updates with. I am not happy at all! WHY, did y'all do this?
Don't know

I don't know if I'm going to like copy and pasting and then going back to what I'm working on every single time
Love this app, but wish there were more characters

I do a lot of writing, brainstorming, and communication related work on my iPad, and I love using these little images to add emphasis or just take the monotony out of certain tasks. But.. for a paid app, I wish there were more than just the 2 pages. Hoping to see an update with new categories/additional characters added!
