Calligraphy Practice

Lost money and time

There are several apps that allow me to practice calligraphy with my Apple pencil on the iPad. This does not. The only option is to draw letters 3 to 4 inches tall using two fingers. The letters are beautiful, and the app seems well designed, but it does not work the way I had hoped. I wish I had not spent money on this.

فيه بعضا لمزايا الجيدة ولكنك مجبر ان تكتب بأصبعين، كنت أفكر لماذا لايوجد فيه خاصية في الإعدادات بإمكانية الكتابة بقلم او باصبع واحد فقد. اضافة لذلك غير دقيق جداً حيث يوجد بعض التعرجات والتموجات اثناء الكتابة

This is a great little calligraphy app. The two-fingered technique is very natural (and fun, really), though it might (further) penalize left-handed calligraphers. If you have any doubts, check out the demos on the developer's site! It's still pretty bare-bones (currently in v.1.1), but if you're at all interested in practicing calligraphy, by all means pick this up and support the development of this app. (With that in mind, a few feature requests for the developer: ** the option of fixed nib geometry (set width & height) ** one-finger flourishes! ** a small preview window tucked in one of the upper corners, so I can keep an overview of my whole document ** basic select/cut/copy/paste/delete of strokes Thank you!)

You have to provide your own text. No examples of completed works. Difficult to navigate in terms of responsiveness if you don't press in exactly the right spot. Sometimes when you are forming a letter, nothing happens. You have to write slowly. I had high hopes, but just too difficult to write using two fingers. If you could use a stylus of some kind it would be better. Disappointed.

This app requires a very strange two finger method of writing. There is not much choice of calligraphic scripts. Ridiculously overpriced for what it offers. Please add other fonts. Specifically Old English and Gregorian. Definitely cannot use a stylus.
