No Customizable Text?
Trapper2000
I foolishly assumed this app would allow previews of user-defined text (like the iPhone version). But this feature is completely missing. Buyers beware!!!
Terrible and unfriendly
Bob is good
Slow as molasses, and very frustrating to navigate. Very poorly thought out and designed.
An incredible app except for…..
Pwason
Want to give this 5 stars. It’s really very very impressive. The only thing I have to wonder is why they don’t allow for customizable text. This is a no brainer for professionals….. unless I start looking for clients all named “RAG” which is the preview text shown. Great work… but do this one update and you’ll sell a ton more of this app as well as make us designers very VERY happy! :)
Painful to use

At one time, this was a top font resource app for designers. Now it's just time-consuming. An exercise in futility.

Your app sorely needs updating. Also consider adding access to Font Magine from the app.
Typography at hand

An excellent way to see and explore type. Multi-faceted organization and easy to use customizations make this useful for anyone interested in type.
Love it so far...

Haven't had it long, but it allows me to view custom text in various sizes and compare any font. This isn't some magical program that gives you free fonts, but instead shows fonts that designers created; some took decades. These are not cheap, free fonts that you can use on your iPad. Instead a resource for designers and typographers to reference and find the perfect font for their projects from foundries all over the world. An invaluable asset as a REFERENCE.
Love the new design

Finally! I love this App. Indispensable tool for type lovers. I love that you can now see custom text in their list.
Its alright but...

(this is mainly for the app developer) There are a few things that could've been improved. The animation when going into tiles are annoying. We could do with a faster much transition to be honest. Also it would be great if there is a way to display ALL the fonts in an A-Z list. Yes all of them.
