User Reviews

Many reviews complain the app doesn’t work as advertised: it’s not a system-wide font, only usable inside the app or via separate paid add-ons; users report install problems, fonts not appearing in Font Book, and incompatibility across Mac/iOS devices. Some reviews mention crashes (e.g., scanning feature) and that you must buy extra apps to read web content or documents. A portion of users praise the OpenDyslexic font for readability and accessibility, calling it life-changing or a god-send. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong accessibility potential, but significant reliability, consistency, and value concerns.

Some reviewers find the font easy to use and helpful for writing and reading.

Cons

Not a system-wide font; functionality is limited to the app or requires separate paid add-ons for web reading.
Extra costs and in-app purchases (web reading, scanning) reduce value.

Crashes or instability reported in scanning or reading features.
Perceived as overpriced or misleading about OpenDyslexic project and value.

I love the font in this app, but I can't use any of the import options — even a one-page PDF freezes the entire app. I've tried several ways to quit it; the only way I can close it is running `killall Dock` in Terminal.

I bought this app because I figured it would help with my reading. I like the ruler tool a lot. However, it doesn’t scan correctly any of the texts. There is no trial period. $40 absolutely wasted and the way they advertise it you just see it as 0.77 per week. They don’t tell you that you’re forced to buy it the whole year. The scan text does not work because it mixes words together and doesn’t match at all what’s in the textbook. The last paragraph of my textbook was the first line in the scanner. Do not buy. It’s literally my biggest regret of a purchase. I have never written a review before but I’m literally writing one right now because of how upset I am about the scanner to text not working. That’s the whole reason why I bought the app, and the one feature I wanted to work did not work at all. DO NOT GET THIS APP.
