Five stars, ideal privacy policy

This app works as described and the developer chooses not to collect any personal data for themselves or their affiliates. After reading the single paragraph, I was so happy to read their policy I nearly cried. Previously, I've agreed to fork over my data to Adobe, so that's on me.

Great concept but current version is broken

I was super excited about this app, but a few issues I’m encountering: - when I select fonts from system or typekit in either comparison on display modes the wrong fonts are coming up - when displaying a font (in my case objektiv from typekit), the descenders were cut off. Cool idea, just buggy for me

Underwhelming

Honestly there’s a lot leas than I expected from this impulse buy. Maybe they’ll add to it in the future. Not much here that you cant learn in about 30 seconds of googling.

Excited for the future!

I’m a web/ graphic designer and have had an affinity for fonts and type for a while. Needless to say when I saw this app, I pretty much impulse bought almost immediately. This app has a lot of basic fact and tools, but it’s nothing I didn’t already know from my high school graphic design class when we spent like a day on fonts. I’d love to see more in depth info on type, maybe some history, how each letter plays into one another. How is each letter designed and why does it take that form? I don’t know, maybe I’m blowing smoke because I don’t know type that well, but I’m excited to see what’s added in the future!

YES

I was not expecting this app to be so elegant and interesting.

Simply enlightening

I've been working with desktop publishing type for pushing 30 years now, and this app gave me an insight into how to compare typefaces systematically that I would never have thought otherwise. It's great!

Fun to learn type!

Some good basics to typography... I wish it's go a bit more in depth with it... Also would be cool if I could compare fonts I have installed on my phone and iPad
