| 2024-11-21 |  | | The app has always been good. It saved me the bother of looking for fonts since 2020 (lockdown). I have been working with it without problems. But I wish I could rate you more than 5 stars. You are more than an app. You are a graphic designer workmate. 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | The most frustrating app I've used. I had to move the pic to several folders just for this stupid app to detect it. When i finally able to upload the photo to the app, it didn't even recognize the font style and yield a bunch of stupid results which aren't even related or similar to the font style i was looking for. SMH |
| 2024-10-13 |  | | This app used to be great, always worked, and gave many close-enough typefaces or even the exact one of the one you're trying to find. BUT! NOT ANYMORE. For a long while now, I take a picture, and the app changes what it wants to see. It is sometimes upside-down or 90° off-set or doesn't focus on the writing in the image - which is the sole purpose for this app! Please sort this out!!! |
| 2024-08-25 |  | | This app is helpful for identifying unknown fonts. Twice I have received photographs with unknown fonts, and have been able to find exactly (or closer than I could distinguish) the right font. The app presents several alternatives. Watch the small features of the typeface that are important to you, and you are likely to find the match. First this app brought me to a font I already own, and then second to one I could easily purchase. As a former Compugraphic employee, Thank you Monotype! |
| 2024-07-24 |  | | I love the app, helps in identifying fonts effectively but I think it needs work on creating an ability to choose folder. And as well as arranging photos from latest to oldest. Currently it just shuffles images which makes it difficult to locate a image of choice. When you do so I come do a 5 star |
| 2024-04-14 |  | | It does not actually identify the font on a document...it gives all the fonts it can cull that sort of look like what is on the paper. For me, that is just as unhelpful, since all word processing programs already display what the fonts look like in the fonts list...I downloaded the app because of the difficulty in eyeballing an exact match. Again, this app does not resolve that. |
| 2024-02-20 |  | | The "finding font via camera" is a really nice on-the-go-feature. I would like to be able to browse my phone gallery/folders instead of just scrolling down a myriad of pictures, though. Maybe by just uploading a file instead of accessing all picture files through the app? Currently, if it is not a recent picture, it can be really difficult to locate the one in mind. |
| 2024-01-31 |  | | It is obvious from the first seconds of use, that this app is so bad and doesn't work at all, even with a simple clear text and a basic font. In a text with two rows with two words each, it recognized and displayed about ten dotted rectangles on the white area above the text. and two rectangles over two letters. Uninstalled a minute after installed. Did anyone test it before posting it? |
| 2023-09-20 |  | | It's usually very good at detecting fonts, however, often times it makes it look like the font has been recognised but all the results are blank. I have no idea why it does that and it's quite annoying. If it hasn't found anything it should state it clearly in text. And preferably produce the reason why it hasn't found a matching font. I will give it more stars if these insufferable problems are fixed. |
| 2023-09-01 |  | | Used to work great until recently. Now it shows blank boxes where the results used to be. What happened? There was nothing wrong with how the app worked, why you tinkering with it? Build a new thing if you're itching. Trying to reinvent the wheel is dumb business 'sense'. You're teaching me to rely on other products. The thing worked great, now it doesn't. Plain and simple. |
