## Description

OpenDyslexic is an open-source font designed to improve readability for people with dyslexia. It includes regular, bold, italic, and bold-italic styles.

This extension enables installing OpenDyslexic on iOS so you can use it in apps that let you pick fonts. OpenDyslexic is created to help with some reading challenges associated with dyslexia.

## Review summary

User reviews praise OpenDyslexic for readability, ease of installation, and its free/open-source, cross-platform nature, and for working in apps that support custom fonts. However, results are highly variable: it does not work in all apps or on all iOS devices, setup/activation can be unclear, and some users must use extra steps or extensions. Overall, positive potential is tempered by app and device compatibility and inconsistent behavior.

### Pros

- Easy to install with quick setup.
- Readability improvement for dyslexic users; described as a lifesaver.
- Free and open-source with cross-platform availability.
- Works in apps that support custom installed fonts.

### Cons

- Not universal across apps; many apps (e.g., Apple Books) don't support custom fonts.
- Activation/setup is unclear or frequently fails.
- Compatibility issues on iPhone/iOS (not working on certain devices/versions).
- Requires extra steps or extensions for some usage (e.g., Safari browser extension).
- Some users experience no visible changes or fonts not applying despite installation.
