Otherwise, I like it. -- Hannah Whitall, 2024-02-28 ### **--- "Free?" This app is appearing to be free with "in-app" purchases. To me that means there are some things you can do for free, however, the only thing that you can click on is the dang guide. Why don't you just advertise this for what it is, a paid app. This is false a advertisement and it's not appreciated. I'm not sure if I even want to pay the $3.99 for it after being lied to. It didn't even come with a "try it before you buy it" warning. 2 stars for your dishonesty. -- larralozo, 2023-09-23 ### ***** ""Don’t listen to nay-sayers. This app is fantastic!" I am a long-time calligrapher. It’s great you get to try beforehand. The minimal amount you pay after trial is so worth it. -- Sha-shee, 2023-07-10 ### ***-- "Glitches" This app is cool for drawing and handwriting, but it glitches out A LOT! I’ve had drawings that have taken me hours and even days to draw, and the app glitches out and I lose all my work. Sometimes it even saves as a draft 1, only to save as a layered drawing. -- NettieKA, 2023-04-20 ### *---- "Trial period isn’t very user friendly" The trial period is 80 hours continuously. As soon as you start using the app, you have 80 hours until the trial is up regardless of whether you are on the app or not. -- hjsinenj, 2022-12-31 ### ****- "Very helpful!" I find it helpful, as well as easy to navigate. It’s very well thought out & fun. I am enjoying learning with my son. We have the same app & compare our progression each day. -- True story 135, 2022-02-28 ### ***-- "Point and trick" Didn’t realize this was a pay to play thing. War hours to see if you like it, but once you trip the clock it counts down whether you are there or not. I got a good 40 minutes playtime before the pay wall popped up. Nahhh. -- The BakerMan, 2022-01-19 ### *---- "Nothing for lefty users" Booooooooooooo! -- Maxxavier, 2021-11-07 ### *---- "Lag time… Don’t recommend buying" There is not a steady flow in this app. The “ink” is at least 2 seconds behind my pen stroke. Hopefully this is just a bug and I didn’t spend $3 on trash. -- morgenelyssa, 2021-09-15 ### ****- "Good, but you have to pay." I REALLY like the app, and all the options you have! It is a really fun thing to do, and I love the app. The only downside is you have to pay, but it is not that much. -- pookie 2009, 2021-08-12 ### *---- "I’ll try again soon" I really want to learn calligraphy and this is the first app I came along to. I don’t like this because I didn’t get a chance to try it. My Apple pen didn’t even work with it. But it works with other apps that I have. I don’t know if your able to fix this, but if you can, please do and I will try this app again. Thanks! :) -- Lillian Amazing, 2021-04-06 ### *---- "Free version doesn’t work" The free version of this app worked for one day, but then required a payment to access any of the app features again (even the ones that had been available for free at first). The program itself is nice, but not really something I would pay money for (especially when the trial doesn’t even work) -- 17568rfydbby, 2020-12-21 ### ***** "Amazing!" This worked great and definitely recommend!!! -- Mitzie, Mimi, or Miriam, 2020-08-04 ### *---- "Won’t let me purchase." I tried this app out for a day and forgot about it. I then came back to it and couldn’t use anything without buying the full app but I won’t let me purchase it so 1 star from me. -- Luckygirl9479, 2020-06-10 ### *---- "Purchase failure" Cannot use app due to error. App was purchased, still can’t use. -- !s2#, 2020-06-09 ### *---- "I had fun for a day" And then a week later I tried to use it and I had to pay. I was like huh? I clearly didn’t see there was a trial and I guess after the trial ends you have to pay to use it. I’m deleting the app now -- Patrishavenegas, 2020-06-07 ### ****- "Please update app" I love the concept but I can’t purchase the full version because it’s not connecting to the App Store! -- Sneaky Greens, 2020-06-05 ### ****- "Great simple app - bug when purchasing" It would be great to have some more styles and stencils, but the app is great. However, when I tried buying the full version, there is a problem. Hope it's fixed soon. -- EduardoG2, 2020-06-05 ### **--- "Meh" It does things, poorly -- Svalich, 2020-05-08 ### ***-- "Has potential but isnt’ ready for subscription payment" Needs a menu to an icon to access the styles of letter. Adding a page to practice in this app means you’re practicing blind without a guide or anything. To access the list of letters you have to reboot the app -- tehehe4all, 2020-04-10 [View all Calligraphy Penmanship reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Calligraphy Penmanship In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Penmanship unlock all features | $3.99 | ## Apps Similar to Calligraphy Penmanship -
