## Review summary

Users largely praise the design and handwriting-practice focus but are overwhelmed by the predominant paywall. The top pain points are the inability to try before buying, pervasive font unlock costs, and occasional in-app purchase restoration issues. There are also usability concerns on iPhone and a lack of helpful onboarding. Overall, the app is seen as a well-made tool hindered by pricing and access barriers.

### Pros

- Well-designed app with many learning options and good overall usability.
- Large font library and easy-to-use features for practicing handwriting, including text import for language practice.
- Generally helpful for handwriting and calligraphy practice.

### Cons

- Major paywall: most features are locked behind a $10 premium or subscription, with little free access.
- Cannot try or test features before purchasing; no free trial or sandbox to evaluate the app.
- Fonts and features require unlocking; users report being unable to use fonts without paying.
- In-app purchases/restoration not working across devices or after reinstallation.
- Mobile usability issues on iPhone (finger tracing problematic with small fonts, navigation/interaction glitches) and lack of tutorials.
