## Review summary

Fontcase is valued as an easy, free, open-source way to install and use custom fonts on iPadOS across apps, with a fast workflow and cross-app utility. However, its reliability is hampered by OS-version compatibility issues, brittle profile-based installation, and limited font format support. Users also report difficulties removing fonts and inconsistent app-wide usage, with some signs of long-term maintenance gaps. Overall, it’s a helpful tool for many, but OS compatibility and maintenance are major constraints.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a fast, straightforward workflow (e.g., from download to seeing a font in apps like Obsidian within minutes).
- Free and open-source, with privacy benefits (claims of no data collection and community trust).
- Enables font installation on iPadOS by working around iOS font restrictions via configuration profiles, allowing fonts to be used across multiple apps (Pages, Obsidian, etc.).

### Cons

- Reliability and compatibility issues on newer iOS versions (notably iOS 16.3, 17.x, and even 18.x in some comments) and signs the app may be abandoned (no updates for over a year).
- Profile-based installation is brittle and can produce errors (Profile Error, missing/disabled profile options, disappearing profiles).
- Inability to remove fonts and frequent installation failures leave fonts stuck or partially installed.
- Limited font format support and app-wide applicability (e.g., not all apps see fonts; not supporting .ttc files; some workflows restricted to certain apps).
