WhatTheFont App Reviews

Cool app when needed to duplicate text, but very hard to use when using my iPhone 5S. Any updates soon?

I use this app for my job all the time. When a customer sends us artwork to work with full of fonts we cant identify I use this app to find them quickly instead of browsing a large binder of fonts. It doesnt function perfectly all the time but in the right circumstances it works very well and is incredibly useful.

Its helped ID several of the fonts Ive needed it to, but crashes randomly. If I try to click on any of the possible fonts it IDs it crashes and says something about an error and I have to reload the image in. Ill keep using it because its the only app like it available, but I wish it was less buggy.

Although I only get it to work maybe a 3rd of the time (this is my fault, not the apps), when it does work it provides amazing results. One suggestion though: allow a search history to see what weve looked at in the past.

Several tries and it thought my block letter "I" was a train or a English taxicab.

Assessment: It does a decent job— found one font dead on, and a font close to the second one I looked for, but not exactly the same. The good: Definitely beats trying to find fonts with web searches. The big problem: When you click on any of the listed fonts the app has identified as a potential match, you get a message saying that “An unrecognized error has occurred,” following which the app either takes you to the start screen or crashes. The improvable: - Photos taken within the app to use to identify the photographed font are saved to your camera roll / photo stream. - Can’t resize the box to select the letters to analyze once you’ve drawn it. - After entering/changing the letters the app guesses for each letter image, the keyboard disappears, necessitating re-clicking in the next box down over and over.

Every time I try to look at the alphabet in the font that I selected it shows an error notification and then takes me back to the home page. I dont get to look at fonts, which for me defeats the whole purpose of getting this app. Please fix this bug.

Probably a long shot, but can we get an update, this app could be incredible, but right now its very useless. Its identifier needs a major tune up.

Im really surprised at how responsive and accurate this App has been! Keep it up!

Great app identified the font type in seconds and it worked great!!!

I just wish they would update it for the iPhone 5....and I guess 6 and 6+.

The app seems to be just as accurate as the website and more convenient than the site. I would like to see a full screen for iPhone 5 and better graphics. Overall its quite remarkable though.

First I thought this app would be awesome to find out what font am looking for but then it so AWFUL. Cannot find the font. Loading forever. And the app havent been updated for freaking long period of time. Look so ODD in 6+

this app is truly amazing, I use it all the time, however I have an iPhone 5s. not only does it not fit the screen, but it looks like its still on ios6 software. this app does crash all the time too :( just need an update for 5 stars!!

Good thing it was free because this might be one of the most useless apps out there. Shame shame.

Was excited for about 3 seconds until I opened and tried to use it. Repeated errors with ever try. How did this pass Apple??

iOS 8 version does not upload photos and hence is useless.

When the app works correctly, that is if you feed it a good photo of your font, it’s awesome. However it is frequently frustrating to get it to simply read characters in what is seemingly a perfect source photo. This app is a must have for designers, however, it’s been completely abandoned. The last version came out like three years ago, so it’s still iPhone 4 sized and absolutely no iOS 8 styling. With a relatively small amount of work, the developers could make this app relevant again.

I uploaded and deleted this app once already as it was utterly useless. I gave it another try today and failing to identify Adobe Garamond Premier Pro three times (really) I consider this app a sub-joke. I work in design and should know better . . .

Hard to say how well it actually IDs fonts because it crashes repeatedly during the character identification section every time. Retaking the photo and restarting the app dont help.
