iFont Reviews

I’m using iOS 14. I followed or tried to follow your instructions but they don’t match what’s on my iPhone SE 2020. Where and when can I see the fonts that I have installed and chosen to appear, and where will they appear? All I see is what looks like Microsoft Arial font. I don’t see any instances of the fonts that I chose in any app. Why did I buy iFont if it doesn’t work? And why don’t the instructions agree with the settings menus? I am about to ask for my money back.
OK, I just realized that this won’t do what I want. So I’d like you to refund my money including for the fonts that I have downloaded. I don’t know why you can’t explain in the Promo materials upfront that this only works for some specific apps and not for everything on the iPhone.

I have 4,580 fonts currently on my iPad and for some reason all of them uninstalled for no reason. So now I have to check each and every single one and reinstall them. Again. It be great if I could install more than 100 at a time and maybe not have to keep reinstalling this many fonts every time. If I try to check more than a certain magic number (which I haven’t found the sweet magic number yet) it freezes and crashes.

Update! It's now December 2021. I just got a new 9th generation ipad with ios15 and I've spent hours upon hours trying to put my fonts on this only for it to crash and I lose everything. The profiles show up but the fonts say they're not installed! 15 hours I've been messing with this crap and I'm right back at the beginning for the second time! I'm so frustrated and I need iFont to work!!!

I downloaded this last night and was thrilled at the functions and easy accessibility and such. I downloaded it to help with uploading fonts for my Cricut.
I already had about 1,000 fonts saved/installed on my iPad, through other apps, and iFont is superior by FAR.
Being able to acces DaFont and install, all right within iFont !!! Amazing!!!
I was BEYOND happy with this....
...until...
I tried to download/install a final 50-60 fonts I hadn’t yet fully installed on my iPad, thru iFont . iFont got a little glitchy and kept kicking me out. I figured that it was just taking some time due to the larger upload (even tho it was still small, I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt because of how amazing iFont is)...
however, now, when I click iFont it loads to about 65-70% and then kicks me out completely.
I can’t delete and renown load iFont because of the fonts I uploaded thru iFont .
I’m not sure what to do....and I am very disheartened. ☹️

Maybe this is because I’m using this on an iPad, but I can barely read any of the text, from the text preview on the left panel list to the tiny sample text in the boxes in compare mode. It’s all very very tiny. It really needs larger text in the font list on the left and a slider to manually adjust the size of the font in the compare boxes. On the iPad there’s plenty of room to adjust up, especially when only comparing a few fonts. I use a lot of script fonts and at what appears to be a 2 pt font they all look the same. I like the design of iFont the best out of all the font apps, but the previews are the smallest!

This is a really great program. But I seem to have a lot of bad luck. Things happening to me and not to other people. It took me a while to figure out how to use the latest version to get my fonts to work for iOS 13. But just when I got the hang of that, another problem came up three days ago, after recent update (Feb 27?). I use Scrivener and anytime I click on the font formatting button inside Scrivener the program crashes. This doesn’t happen on my other iPad with Scrivener where I don’t have this app installed. I think they’re related. I’m a freelancer who depends on both programs. Hoping you can work with Scrivener team to figure out what’s happening.

Had to go through quite some hoops to learn that Google Drive is not compatible due to issues with Google Drive - not this app.

Learned this via Procreate who has the same issue with their in app font manager.

I connected to Dropbox instead and it works. UI feels a little unintuitive and janky - ie. scroll bar doesn’t allow me to scroll all my own fonts to install, some are hidden beyond the point of where I’m allowed to scroll.

I have three or more apps that are supposed to serve the whole “font managing” issue. This single app, however, combines all the useful features from them all, and puts them in one place! For free! You can’t beat that. Even with the ads (& very reasonable price to remove them) they aren’t intrusive popups; just simply a minimal bottom banner. Thank you to the developers for creating this and for distributing it so freely. You have made my font searching & installing process go so smooth/painless.
P.S. I do have one issue; while on the browser tab, to search for fonts, sometimes it will just like, stay stuck on the screen, not allowing you to click anything on the website. (“Download font” button, or links in my case.) it will refresh and iFont acts properly, just kind of gets stuck only inside that browser mode. However, with the way you’ve implemented such simplicity and ease of “outside” importing, from safari or whatever else, this really isn’t too big of an issue... 5 stars no doubt! ★★★★★

I looked through quite a few of the other Fonts apps on iFont Store. As far as I can tell, none come even close to this one, because this one links to TONS of fonts from other websites that the others don’t have access to. I have downloaded lots of outside fonts through iFont (free for basic use) and they work perfectly with Apple Keynote and Pages. So thankful for the developers of iFont... I LOVE IT!

How often do you get multiple support responses on a weekend? iFont is easy to use. I use my iPad to create materials for my classes, but have always had to open the documents on my Mac to make final adjustments with the fonts I need. No longer. The fonts are now on my iPad. One font I was trying to use was ancient (system 8 or 9). Although this app doesn’t support files that old, they did research for me and sent me directions to update the font. I appreciate their effort and work ethic.

Okay, so I just watched a five minute video and read pages of blog post to learn how to download fonts onto iPad, and they all wanted me to pay $1.99 for AnyFonts and download an unzipping app. So I was really intrigued when iFonts offered to do EVERYTHING for free.
And let me tell you: this is not a joke!
I only leave reviews when I feel like something needs to be said, and today that something is ” iFont does exactly what it says, and exceptionally well at that, for absolutely nothing.”

Does just what I need: installs new fonts to my iPhone and iPad with no trouble whatsoever. Instructions are a little unorthodox at the start, but once you get the hang of it the process becomes second nature. Installing fonts to your phone shouldn’t be this hard, but I’m at least grateful that iFont makes it easier than ever. Do yourself a favor and purchase the premium. It’s cheap, unlocks every feature you’d need, and the developers deserve every penny for this gem!

I downloaded iFont on my iPhone 8+ because I am an avid Cricut user and I need to have all the same fonts on are on my MacBook accessible in my iPhone apps, such as Design Space. iFont definitely allows that. When a problem arose with one of my fonts unable to install, I emailed customer service and they responded in about a day or two! That’s amazing customer service from an app developer. iFont is also SUPER user friendly! I love iFont so much and will definitely be bragging about it to all other iPhone and Cricut iPhone users 💜

Seriously... I have a small business making hats, shirts, vinyl graphics etc. iFont has been so helpful with all the fonts I purchase. It gives me a preview of the font in my business name and color, or whatever text I choose!! That takes the guesswork out of choosing a font. It is hard enough with so many out there, being able to see your words in the previews is awesome. I did purchase the full version but it was very affordable. No regrets!!

After wasting hours and $$s trying the various other purported “font installers”, I read a review online regarding this app, so I thought I’d give the free version a try… Within seconds of opening iFont, I was able to import a font which I had previously Airdropped to Files, in anticipation of installing it. All the others apps failed! I immediately upgraded to the premium version! iFont combines all the capabilities I was hoping for into one app— browse, import, install, glyphs, … Thank you developers!

It’s easy and fast and you have access to literally thousands of fonts at your fingertips to do what you please with! For graphic design and photoshop junkies, this ones for you.

However, for the team, I don’t like that we can only share one specific font at a time to an app, instead of the entire font profile, or even other fonts as well. It does slow down progress by a lot, and I end up not using half of the fonts I’m into simply because of the time it takes to do one. At. A. Time. Not being a complainer, but this is 2019 guys!! You can do more to make iFont worth 5 stars instead of 4 😉

this app has supplied me with a plethora of great fonts, which I am super picky about. It’s an app that’s definitely got a learning curve to it, but I always eventually figure out how to get it done. There are also some decent instructions I finally found, which was my fault because I have that “I don’t need no stinking’ directions” attitude. I finally took the time to actually check out iFont and found some answers. See asking for directions doesn’t really bruise your ego too bad, and I’m chick with such a mind set. Sheesh. But ifonts the way to go. I’ve tried several other apps that just flat didn’t work.

If you are a graphic visual designer of any kind like me, then you need iFont. I tried others before and they are clunky and unintuitive. Give iFont a go and you’ll find that you can literally do everything you need to in app. Find your typeface and group the complete font family when you install it. Saves so much time when your obsessed with typography and need to keep things organized and efficient.

*Pro tip: select all of your fonts you want to install by checking the bubble instead of hitting ‘Select All’. It will insure that you aren’t installing one font at a time when you need your Apple device to group your fonts together.

I see there are no other reviews and so I was hesitant, but I wanted to add some fonts to my new iPad Pro and took a chance on this one because your Description was pretty straight forward. So glad I did because it was so easy to add a couple of fonts and it worked seamlessly! Make sure you know how to transfer files from a supported cloud service and understand how this works before using iFont. I saw a lot of complaints about problems with other apps and some of them maybe didn't really understand what this type of app is actually used for. I'm an artist/designer and use a variety of fonts to create and augment my work. Very happy to pay to support this developer. Thank you!

I think iFont is great! I haven’t been able to use the fonts that I installed, but that is because just about no app that I normally use supports these. I have looked through the reviews, and there are people saying that it doesn’t work, and that is just not true! They likely thought that any app ever would work with these fonts, but that’s not true! It specifically says not all apps are compatible. I love iFont. Those people are just ignorant. I hope people keep using iFont and I really hope those ignorant people don’t make others skeptical of this great app. I have one small gripe, though. It says that it requires iOS 15, but it still works on my phone. It would be nice if you could fix that so people who haven’t updated yet can still download it. Thank you!

I’ve been using the paid version of iFont for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say its really solid!

Being able to easily add and install multiple fonts at one time is a huge time saver.

I love the ability to create groups so I can go right to what I want (ie. Cursive / Serif / Sans Serif)

My favorite feature though is the “compare” feature which allows you to type custom text and see what it looks like in any of the fonts you have selected. This is a huge time saver and really helps you hone in on the style/look you are after.

**would love to have the ability to re-size the “compare” viewing area ie. Display fewer on-screen options at a larger size to better see details. It would also be helpful to be able to add fonts to “category” folders from the compare page (this would really help speed up organization / categorization).

This was a solid purchase, def worth the price!

The batch process will only allow a certain amount of fonts to be installed through the profile at a time. After a certain amount of fonts are installed when returning to create a new batch or single instal when scrolling to search a font to instal it force closes. It force closes over and over again no matter if I reinstall iFont or close it out... I’ve tried all the typical fixes to get it to work.

I am trying to install a Google I downloaded through iFont . When I group select all the sub fonts, it only installs one sometimes or sometimes it installs many but not all. I can’t install the entire library at once as a single profile. There’s no good way to troubleshoot as far as I can tell. Don’t know if this is an app problem or an iOS problem or a font problem.

The search for a working font manager continues!

iFont worked great until a few days ago. When I went to download my files it started telling me I had to change my profile settings??? What? Now, it just closes iFont as soon as I open it. I just did two upgrades, neither helped. I have iOS 12.2.

Screenshot the glyph you want

Edit the glyph:

Crop the glyph so that it only shows the image you want

Choose Done to save the glyph

Go to your Cricut App and choose the upload icon on the bottom

Choose Select From Photo Library

Choose the glyph

Choose the Remove wand on the bottom left

Tap the areas you want to remove (background). You will then see the image appear on top right corner.

Choose Next on the top right corner

Choose Next again

Name the image and choose Save

Choose the image/glyph you just saved. A green box will appear around it.

Choose Insert on the bottom right.

You will now see your image appear on the Cricut canvas.

When IOS 13 came out with the new fonts feature, I’ve been looking for a font downloader that won’t break the bank. This is worth the $1.99 I paid for the ads free version. It gives a tutorial on how to use it, and it’s everything it says it is. Love you guys! Keep up the good work!

EDIT: I just upgraded and it works all well now. Thank you so much Devs for replying. Appreciate it so much.❤︎

I'm on iOS 11.2 and I just updated and now I can't install a new font coz, the instruction says 'tap on "allow" in the alert below'. which there wasn't any and I checked on the profiles there isn't any of the new font too. :((

Well iFont beat installing fonts by far, you guys nailed it. Easy to install fonts and manage them, just one thing, if there was a guide for iFont , I think people can see the full power of iFont , for instance there is and option to install all the fonts you want only with one profile. This helps speedup the process especially for people like me who USE FONTS, LIKE ALOT OF THEM.
Anyway tnx for this amazing app.

Excellent app! It works well, and allows you to install any font you desire, including San Francisco from Apple’s own website (has to be extracted from a computer first though, this is a tricky one). All other fonts are easily accesible. Thanks for making such a good app.
