Review summary

Users appreciate Calligrapher for its ease of use, variety of calligraphy tools, and realistic writing experience that supports practicing handwriting and saving creations. However, many report frequent and intrusive ads in the free version disrupting usage. Additional complaints include occasional crashes that reset work without saving, small or unclear controls, limited undo options, and missing features like locking canvas positions and customizing toolbars. Despite flaws, many find it a useful and comprehensive app for calligraphy practice and artwork.

Pros

Easy to use with a variety of calligraphy tools and effects.
Allows use of multiple mediums and writing on photos.
Helps users practice calligraphy and improves handwriting without paper.
Saves creations for further use or printing.
Offers a realistic writing feel with touch sensitive pens.

Cons

Excessive and obtrusive ads in the free version, interrupting user experience.
App sometimes restarts without saving current artwork, causing loss of work.
Controls and icons can be small or unclear, making operation difficult.
Lack of advanced features like locking paper position or zoom level.
Limited undo functionality (only around three undos).

2026-01-15	St*****	I paid for the "Pro" version of this app but after a few minutes I had a glitch so I thought to uninstall and reinstall it (restarting has been proven useless). Once I uninstalled the app I was unable to reinstall it. The only button next to the app in Google Play was "Refound" which was not even working. I'm really disappointed by this app.

2025-11-05	Aa*****	Could not even properly evaluate the free version due to extremely aggressive ads. Gave up and uninstalled after a few attempts. Update: Thank you for that. The total battle ad just kept looping forever and made it impossible to even try out the app. I've purchased the pro version after testing it out.

2025-09-27	RE*****	This is the closest thing I've found to that older (now defunct) app by Adobe; sketch. Love this app for its simplicity, accuracy, comprehension, & detail. The default settings are already a perfectly sized blank canvas & it works for any/all settings when you pinch-zoom. I also enjoyed that the Pen stays relative to size when you zoom. All essential presets easy to locate, super clean layout & easy to navigate interface for the advanced or first time digital artist. back or erase with ease. 5/5

2025-08-24	Fe*****	love every bit of this app, the downside is the Incorporated ads and it bothersome how much it interrupts my focus, so I find myself exiting the app rather than perfecting my calligraphy art. it would be better if one could preserve the moment and save before bombarding every time ones need to undo. let's be real we can't get back time and merely a waste of time showing ads i rarely pay attention to, I'm not saying cut out the ads I'm saying it deserves 5 stars could I get for because of the ads
