Nicwess525,
Needs more fonts
I would also like more historical information about the fonts. Like what exactly make a font considered Garald or transitional?
In type inspector, after selecting a font at the top you can hit mark. What is it trying to show you?

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!

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

TheProspectorNYC,
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.
GDduby,
Great idea but lacking in content
This app seems great for students just starting out in graphic design, or typography. Past the function of a basic learning tool, this app seems useless for any professional situation. The content is severely lacking for me to spend anymore than two minutes with this app. If the library of fonts was much larger, then I could see more usefulness for this app. For anyone looking for typographic knowledge past that of a basic level then I recommend "The Elements of Typographic Style" by Robert Bringhurst.
jcjvm,
Good start, not polished
The app lacks depth. Among other things, it needs more fonts. The user interface is not intuitive. It's clunky and can be confusing. Navigating around the app forces portrait to landscape to portrait, etc. It forces constant rotation of your phone just to use the app with no user choice to do so.
I wouldn't recommend paying for this app in its current state, but I remain hopeful that the developers will continue improving the app. It definitely has potential.

Great for the design students
As a student in design school, it is just great to see gorgeous historical typefaces in large size with retina display. Might be not enough for the professional designers but, definitely great app for the students in design school. Can be used together with textbook.
GoodOldMonkey,
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!
L.Art,
Could have been cool
This app would be a favorite of mine if there were a larger number of fonts available. Right now there are very few choices and obviousones. As is this app is only useful to people who have never looked into typography before. It could however, if more fonts are added, become a super awesome app.
