★★★★★ Fun to learn type!
I love various features and simple sections to learn different aspects of typography. It feels like the playground for the designers. Hope we can get kerning feature on iPhone version too!…

I love type and this app is amazing…
Top negative
★☆☆☆☆ Really?
This app won't be worth it if it were free. I expected more fonts. Disappointing app!…
★☆☆☆☆ Don't waste your money!
This app should be free for what you get. I love the concept but there are barely any fonts and it's certainly not very fluid to compare and contrast font styles (one letter at a time). Save your money. Definitely needs more substance…

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
