Brilliant!

RabidG

Worth every cent. Once you get the hang of the navigation, it just gets deeper and deeper. Excellent reference resource.

Very slow App!

SLY333

App is horribly slow on iPad 3 (The New iPad), and slow on iPad mini. Wish to do a My own named Font Collections (not just starred fonts) in future versions.

Enormous app size and slow on iPhone 4

Pros - It's the only app I can find that let's me browse categorized fonts - Attractive interface (though a little peculiar at times) - Offers several different ways/sizes when previewing fonts Cons - Very slow on my iPhone 4 - Takes up a minimum of 214 mb after install (That's with the cache at the lowest setting, 5 mb) - You can save fonts to "favorites," but you can't label them or categorize them further (I would love to see either of these features in an update) - Does not follow Vox-ATypl classification (though that isn't necessarily a bad thing)

Useless

Jdarias_dg

Pretty but useless. You'll find no use for this app unless you know the font name beforehand. One cannot flick trough the fonts as a book (despite the name). Lots of tiles wich show little, useless or rather no information at all. And now it got awfully slow

Excellent but…

The iPhone version allows setting sample text which is hugely useful and speeds up the process of reviewing possible fonts for specific content. PLEASE add this feature to the iPad version.

I want my money back.

The UI is annoying and the content is crap. This app was promptly deleted.

Latest update - constant crashes

The update causes constant crashes. App opens fine, but doing anything causes it to crash, luckily I still had the previous version to downgrade to.

No customizable sample text

SwissMind

I love to have this many fonts to look for when I need something. But the looking for fonts and the trying out fonts in form of one line sample text is restricted to the tiny screen of an iPhone. Why are these features not available for the iPad? When will this feature be available. Was hoping that version 4 would solve this.

Beautiful but crashing

babellab

The is a well designed app with a lot of typefaces to browse. There are many ways to explore the various typefaces that make finding and comparing different types fun and interesting. The only problem is this app has been crashing constantly since update. It seems to be related to the "favorite" button. I'm using latest version of iOS 7 on iPhone 4S & iPad (model just before iPad Air). This crashes the iOS and forces reboot (black screen with apple logo). I hope to see a fix soon. Keep up the good work on developing this app.

Designer's App

Useful app that help each designer to choose a suitable type for the project.
