Used to be amazing, what happened?
I work in a print shop and I use this app all the time. It used to always give me a list of similar fonts but now all I get is “Sorry, we couldn’t reach the server.” What happened?

Barely useful
So, you’d think in the age of AI everything that it wouldn’t be that hard to get sophisticated font id from photo’s. You’d be wrong, though. I own a sign shop and have to match fonts all the time. This app is usually less than helpful at taking an example photo and telling me what font it is, or even get me CLOSE. In fact I’d say it’s MORE than less than helpful.
Doesn’t work
I have tried several times to identify a font with this app and it always says cannot connect to server
Can’t reach server, upload again
And again. No help here!
Server not available
Received this message
Can be helpful at times
Key word here is “can.” The app can approximate a good amount of the fonts you give it to search for, but at best it’s results are more often than not just that: approximations. It rarely ever finds the exact font, and then sometimes it seems to not even know what it’s doing in the first place and gives back a host of completely irrelevant fonts that don’t even look in the slightest bit similar. Issues with getting an error message when searching fonts is becoming more and more common as well, and some days I can’t even get it to give me ANY results - good, bad or ugly. For simple font enthusiasts or creatives, it’s a fun “hobby” app, but if you’re really jonesing to find out the exact fonts you’re looking for, you should go elsewhere because you won’t ever find it on this app.
Couldn’t reach the server error
Every time I search for the font of the image, I keep getting this error that said they couldn’t reach the server. Sometimes it’s fine, but most of the time that error occurs. It’s a little annoying.
Doesn’t work anymore
Use to love this app but now it Doesn’t even work on the most simple of fonts. Not even manually drawing a squares helps it identify fonts.
Sad
Once picture is taken not necessarily to your standards and can’t be used, it can’t be deleted to clear work space
Doesn’t work well
It’s not that easy to use. I scanned a picture and after 10 times of trying to get the app to read it it finally read it. Then when I went back with the same picture that worked last time it couldn’t read. I’ve tried with different fonts on the computer, on paper, screen shot pictures, with my camera, and it just takes more than 5 or 6 times for each method and it just doesn’t read good.
