Scammy
Forces you to get a free trial or spend 7 dollars on the day of download. ( Paywall ) I refuse to spend 7 dollars for a font. No thanks.
Subscription based BS
You get 3 days then have to subscribe…. Just to add fonts to your iPad. APPLE NEEDS TO GET ITS STUFF TOGETHER. just allow us to install fonts natively.
Terrible
The fonts can not be used.
Won’t work
It didn’t do anything
Bait and switch
This app appears free but tried to make me do a 3-day trial where I will be charged $0.57/week if I forget to cancel. I was only looking for a safe source to download open source fonts for simple graphic design and don’t want a recurring cost for an app I will hardly use. If they are going to charge you just because you will use fonts for work, they should list a separate app with a clearly disclosed price. Total waste of time. I will use google fonts.
GRRRR
I AM NOW GOING TO BARK AT YOU WOOOOOFFFFFFF
App has Become Unusable
This app has continually become worse and worse. It fails to install fonts, it constantly shows false positives (fonts that are not installed but claim to be), it gives constant errors (“profile failed because it contains fonts that are already installed” when there is no indication that this is the case, for example), and the errors given direct toward dead-end action steps for solving problems. Using this app will ultimately, at this point, lead you to being completely unable to manage fonts, or know which ones are actually installed or not. I recommend with my entire chest that you use a different app.
Font Finder is gone
It looks like an update has happened and the Font Finder that was in the sidebar is now gone. Now I am unable to import fonts that I have saved on my iCloud. This app is now useless to me.
So tired of subscriptions.
I’m so freaking tired of being nickel and dime to death by stupidity subscriptions. I’d be happy to pay for a one and done. Most of the apps aren’t worth paying the hundreds of dollars they hope to get out of you after you’ve forgotten to cancel.
Used to be free, now it’s not
I’m not paying anymore money for subscriptions.
Horrible
Too many permissions and wants to download something other than the font! This app is not trustworthy!
False Advertising not free
Requires you to accept Free Trial subscription that bills you after 3 months, not free, instant uninstall
FREE TRIAL SCAM
Same as the other reviews. Did the free trial and ended up being charged for a full year. DO NOT INSTALL!!!
Doesn’t work
I grabbed this app, hoping to install a large batch of fonts into my Pages app, but it kept telling me to install the profile repeatedly every time and then wouldn’t allow me to install the fonts anyway. Plus, trying to figure out how to cancel the free trial wasn’t easy. I literally installed it and then deleted it an hour later. Save yourself some time and headache and stay away.
No way to contact developer
Canceling my free trial has been a headache and even when I do cancel the app is wanting to charge me for a year which I do not want. The link to report a problem leads to nowhere and there no contact information for the developer.
Billed for 3-day free trial, not heard from support
I was billed within 12 hours for the 3-day free trial after signing up. Emailed support, not heard back. Shameful. App works great, had no problems apart from that. I want my money back
bait and switch
greedy basic utility app that deceptively opts users into a bogus subscription. 0/10 don't recommend!
Took my money and fonts don’t work
TOOK MY MONEY AND THE FONTS DONT WORK 29.99 AFTER A FREE SUBSCRIPTION AND IT DOESNT WORK AND THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP MY MONEY
:/
No guide 2 get them into the apps unless have to PAY
Total Scan for Cyrillic users
If your native language uses the Cyrillic alphabet, this app is literal TRASH. I paid $29 thinking I’d get premium fonts, but it’s a joke hardly any support for Mongolian characters. To make it worse, they charged me without warning and REFUSED to give my money back. They’re basically stealing from people at this point. Save your $39 and go buy a nice dinner instead. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!" I want my damm Money back
Ads make it unusable
There are ads with no way to close them. There is no X, so you have to force close the app and hope you don’t get it again. Not to mention that every other page is an advertisement. It’s so hard to use the app that I just uninstalled it.
Stole my money
They put date ranges that my free trial would end on a certain date and charged me regardless when I canceled. I won’t be using it but I’ll continue to keep giving it bad reviews
Terrible App, Horrible Customer Service
Absolutely trash of an app, useless. Terrible interface, terrible customer service. I do not recommend.
Scam
Doesn’t work, even after following their in-app instructions. Clearly just an attempt to track your data across other apps where you try to use it.
I cancelled my subscription but was still charged
I downloaded the app and signed up for a 3 day trial. I cancelled the subscription the night I got it and was still charged for a yearly subscription. I tried asking for a refund through Apple but denied.
Trial scam
I enrolled in the three day trial program, however the second I installed the trial I was notified that a year of service was purchased. Tried immediately to cancel subscription and was told it would cancel in a year.
No thanks
I’ve had this app for 2 minutes and I’ve experienced multiple things popping up in my face before I can even get a chance to try anything out, including this request for a review. I’ll be deleting this immediately. Thanks!
Not free
Don’t waist your time 3 day trail then its 30$ a year for something that should be free and built into ios devices.
Why??
At first it was fine then when i was trying to get my 11th font i had to get premium
Surprise! It’s not free
Only $30 a year to do something that is free and simple on literally any Mac or PC?! Wow! Sounds great! Sign me up!
Seriously though, don’t be fooled; just because they slap a little “i” in front of the title doesn’t mean this is an Apple utility. It’s just another greedy company betting on the fact that you’ll forget about your YEARLY subscription after your Etsy store tanks. Charging for a service in which you have to pay to license fonts anyway if you want to do anything creative/professional with them is absurd. Just another monetary gatekeeper in your way of being creative. Don’t buy into this. Look up how to manually add fonts through iCloud directly into creative apps like Procreate and whatnot. There’s a way to do it. Don’t use this “service.”
Also I listed “Yo mama” under “Who referred you?” because I’m a class act.

How do you use this app?
After installing the app I installed 6 fonts. They take 10 taps plus passcode EACH.
There’s no user guide or other help file to explain how to actually use the fonts and they do not show up within any text editing apps.
Avoid and save yourself the aggravation.

No Free trial
I downloaded the apps and it said I should get 3 days trial, but I got charged for subscription.
Falsely charged for two separate subscriptions at once when trying to sign up for the 3-day trial
This is the first app review I have EVER written-I never feel compelled to write reviews. But today, when I tried to sign up for the 3-day trial, which CLEARLY stated I would NOT be billed today, I was billed for BOTH the 1-year subscription AND the 1-week subscription. I have an invoice email from Apple as proof. I have sent emails to support seeking a refund with no response. This is absolutely unacceptable, and I cannot in good conscience recommend this app to anyone until this gets resolved. If this is not resolved in a timely manner, I will escalate this as needed.
Always Upselling
Just wanted to try a font. Send you into a free trial which costs 29.00 a year. Ridiculous. You can get the same function for 2 dollar flat fee. Difficult to use and annoying questionnaire before you can do anything. And now I’m just trying to figure out how not to get charged 30 bucks before I delete this junk.
3-Day Free Trial
I don’t usually do this with apps, but I personally feel like I got scammed. It had the option for me to do a 3-Day free trial (or however subscriptions type it out), and it said the price today would be $0.00, then, after the free 3 days, I would have to pay 29.99, after I accepted the offer, they ended up taking the 29.99, away from me, and I’m just sitting here like.. wow. Not tryna tell anyone what to do, if you wanna get the app then get it, but this was unnecessarily for them to have that option and not follow through with the trial offer. This has never happened to me after accepting a free 3 Day trial, and it happened today! So, yeah!
Frick you, scammers!
I got my font installed, but I can’t put it on! I’ve went to my apps, my settings, everything! There is absolutely NOTHING. This is a warning to other downloaders: DON’T GET THIS FONT APP.
Subscription required
This app used to be free and totally incredible. I went to download it again and it’s not free anymore and I’m really frustrated.
Being charged to use
I tried to click on developers website only to be taken to a page that’s not their website. Same for when I clicked on support. I’m being charged $19.99 for a subscription I did not order. Apple says to contact developer…HOW??
They force you to pay
CROOKS! They force you to choose either buy their 30 dollar trash app or slowly get pushed out of every app on your phone because you are prevented from upgrading and from buying any other apps until you do.
Forced subscription
They are forcing you to subscribe to use the app. So, no longer free.
Scam!!!!!
I downloaded this app and did the free trail but I cancelled it when I deleted the app the same day and the subscription still charged me $30 for an app I don’t use!!! I tried to contact them on every platform but it’s impossible and on instagram they just blocked me instead of responding!!! DO NOT GET THIS APP ITS A SCAM
Mongo is sad, Mongo cannot click “Allow” localhost, is required to install fonts
As you already know because you are reading this review, iOS does not have an internal mechanism for downloading and installing new fonts for use on other apps such as Pages, Mail, etc. Setting aside the “forced Subscription” issue for now, this review focuses on the fact that the font installation process requires the user to click “Allow” or “Ignore” on the localhost popup when attempting to install a new font, but neither option is clickable. At that point the only item on the screen that is responds when clicked is the “Done” button which closes the window and doesn’t allow you to proceed. The app looks promising but this bug makes it unusable for installing fonts.
🩵-lunar-🩷
it was telling me to pay 20 DOLLERS JUST FOR STARBORN
LIKE I WANT IT FOR FREE
BRP

No ID
It doesn’t identify fonts
IT DOESN'T WORK
I CANT USE THE FONT THAT I INSTALLED THIS APP TO USE IN SKETCHBOOK
Free Trial a Scam
I clicked to try the app's free trial and went to cancel the subscription the same day. I was still charged for the whole year.
Stoped working
Very dissatisfied
It was supposed to be free.
I thought I had options. I am disappointed.
Cost money to use
This app should not cost money to use. Samsung does not charge weekly or monthly to utilize fonts. Deleting immediately because a free 3 day use is useless.
Downloaded and Deleted Within 10 Minutes!
Absolutely no reason EVER for a font installer to have an ongoing fee. At $30 a year, $7 a week, or free for 3 days then charge … This is a hard pass!
