Features & Capabilities

OpenDyslexic helps make reading clearer on iPhone and iPad by displaying text, PDFs, scanned pages and websites in the OpenDyslexic font. Its weighted letterforms are designed to help reduce confusion between similar characters such as b/d and p/q.

Paste text, scan paper pages with OCR, import PDFs, or read Safari pages in a clearer layout. Adjust text size, spacing and contrast, and use the reading ruler to follow each line with less effort. OpenDyslexic supports more comfortable, independent reading for people with dyslexia and anyone seeking a clearer reading experience.

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.

Pros

OpenDyslexic font improves readability for dyslexic readers.
Some reviewers find the font easy to use and helpful for writing and reading.
Viewed as a promising accessibility tool with potential life-changing impact on reading.
Offers accessibility benefits that can help students with reading difficulties.

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.
Installation and compatibility issues; fonts may not install or appear in Font Book on macOS/iOS.
Crashes or instability reported in scanning or reading features.
Perceived as overpriced or misleading about OpenDyslexic project and value.

I downloaded this app hoping to have the font used system wide on my phone, but it’s stuck behind a paywall. Can we be so for real? The whole point of OpenDyslexic’s conceptualization was to have a FREE, OPEN ACCESS font for people to have to make their lives a little easier. Do not download, you’re just going to be disappointed like I was.

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.
