I’m relatively new to calligraphy and wanted an app that would allow me to practice without spending all the money on equipment and paper until I felt more comfortable. Perfect for practice

Clunky.

* free version is basically just a sample and you’re not going to get much out of it, there is a small (under $5) one time charge to use the app as intended. No ads, no subscription, no endless series of in-app purchases. * variety of fonts, many many color options, some nice extras * I strongly recommend reading the user’s guide in “getting started”, there’s a lot that the app has to offer that won’t be obvious without it * I was basically just looking for somewhere where I could make letters calligraphy-style, without the wide side of the “pen” changing directions on me unexpectedly. So, obviously this app met that expectation but it also went way beyond it. And I thought I’d enjoy myself but I wasn’t expecting to enjoy myself this much. I downloaded this app maybe two days ago and have been using it more than I’ve been doing anything else other than sleeping. * the “words” section is prone to crashing, so don’t put a lot of effort into that section if you’re new to the app. When you use it more you get a sense of what causes it to crash and can usually avoid it crashing at bad times and losing your creations. * I don’t think I’ve had it crash when making art directly from “layers gallery” or “stencils models”. I enjoy tracing the lettrines (extra fancy letters) a lot. For some reason I can’t figure out you can get a grid or lines in that part of the app, but not the same sorts of lines you get in the practice sections of the app which is just weird imo. * This isn’t a shiny subscription based app with perfect function and new features all the time. It’s more like the early apps. Personally I think that’s a good thing. * it’s been idk a month and I still spend maybe an hour or two every day on this. Very calming.

I’ve been doing calligraphy for 40+ years. This is a great app for beginners and intermediate writers. The one drawback, IMO, is that the app grading is ridiculously exacting. I like to deviate, just a bit, to make my letters more “me.” With this app, creative flair is stifled. Also, if I want to get the letters for a certain words, the caps and lowercase letters are listed as different fonts, so I cannot practice someone’s name, for example. Very frustrating. I do love this app for practicing my calligraphy, though. It is so nice to be able to erase mistakes on the screen! :) IRL, calligraphy with ink and paper is not very forgiving with mistakes. This is a great app to learn to write beautifully!

I’ve learned so much about Calligraphy. Well worth the upgrade.

Rarely do I write reviews; but today became that day. I got suckered into buying the upgrade and for about $5 all I got was different ink colors. The number one problem I have with the App is my connected fully charged Apple Pencil isn’t working and there’s no troubleshooting or FAQ. The pencil worked for a short while in the beginning and then stopped. I wished before buying the company was clearer on all the upgraded features which I guess is each different ink color counts as an upgrade. The instructions manual is is horrible; very little any clarity for application use or missing information about the different features, and why you would use it over another feature. I guess they expect the user to know all the end and outs of the App through osmosis.
