Font Maker

I love the concept of this app, but I was hoping for a feature that wasn't there. It'd be really awesome to be able to map any key with any character (preferably all of Unicode, but even just the standard characters). You could then make a simple cipher keyboard or use letters that resemble others. I'd give 5 stars for sure for that functionality. I'd pay for it too. To everyone complaining that you can't draw your own fonts, realize that that's not possible to do if you want your font to be visible to others. Apps don't transfer fonts too each other as it would infeasible from a technical standpoint.

Unique, ONLY APP OF ITS KIND IN THE ENTIRE APP STORE! Granted, there are TONS of apps floadding the APP store with the promise of "WOW'ING" your instagram followers with hip fonts, you made, then used, in your bio or comments. Then, when you check out the app, you quickly realize there is no such feature! Instead, all the so-called font apps have a number of pre-made "fonts" (which are really letters from different languages mixed with a bunch of Unicode symbols jumped together in representation of the alphabet) Well, FONT MAKER, does just what it says!For each letter you are given a # of characters to choose from for your target letter. You go down the alphabet selecting different characters or symbols for each letter until you have designed, basically, a new font, in the most simplitic way possible. This app has the potential to really shine amongst apps of its kind, if only the developer would dive deeper into the 50,000 Unicode characters for each letter. Currently, the choices are limited but it does the job. And like I said, you will find it's the ONLY app that actually lets one design a simple, but effective font. And for that, I applaud 5 stars!

On a functional level, the app is near perfect. Sure, the keyboard could be a bit more responsive, but the app does exactly what it’s supposed to do. As far as content goes, there is room for plenty of additions! Not only is the selection for each letter sparse, but most of the letters aren’t any special characters, just the regular letter with a diacritical mark combined with it (google diacritical marks to find out what that means). Personally, I don’t care how many letters are included so long as I can add my own in. The problem is - I can’t because that functionality is not in the app. This puts a damper on what fonts you can concoct, especially once you realize that there are more than 50,000 Unicode characters out there. The UI isn’t super appealing, but that doesn’t really bother me too much. This is perfect for a fun little toy app, but it definitely has the potential to become a sleek one-of-a-kind app.

I put slashes through my zeroes and wanted to incorporate that into my keyboard. The app works ok, and I could make my zeroes have slashes. But I thought you could maybe draw your own font, or have more choices. A lot of the choices this app offers is just Greek letters (oh I just realized I could put slashes through my zeroes on the default keyboard alone.... ugh I’m an idiot), not actual fonts. I would have been okay with it if I hadn’t seen the keyboard (not the font) when I was done. The keyboard was downright awful and weird using. I am used to the default keyboard, but this was just difficult. It looks awful too, and I rather have a boring font than... that keyboard.... Two stars. You have to have pretty low standards to get this

Alright so at first this app was awesome! But... So when I tried to create my own font...the 'save' 'modify' 'delete' and 'clear' options were in the way of the last two rows of letters on the keyboard!! I tied scrolling, but that didn't work. Also, on the keyboard option, some of the instructions were cut off AGAIN!! I tried scrolling down but it wouldn't work. The main reason why I got this app was so that I could make my own fonts. Well without the j k l m n o p q r S t u v w x y z, I can't make a complete font, not can I? That's why this app deserved a 2 star.
