User Reviews

Pros: broad symbol library and easy copy-paste; helpful for typing many symbols; free version offers substantial content with an affordable upgrade. Cons: frequent updates that removed free content and shifted to paid access; confusing or deceptive pricing; compatibility issues and crashes on newer iOS devices; UI changes hurting usability.

Pros

Extensive library of symbols and characters (subs, superscripts, math symbols, Greek letters, crosses)
Easy copy-paste workflow: tap a symbol and it’s copied to the clipboard for insertion
Useful for typing hard-to-find symbols and special characters (e.g., superscripts, math symbols)
Free version provides many symbols; paid upgrade adds more, offering good value for advanced users

Cons

Major updates remove many free symbols and push them behind in-app purchases, described by many users as a bait-and-switch
Pricing and upgrade terms are seen as deceptive or unclear (claims of discounts not honored, reports of double-charging)
Stability and compatibility problems on newer iOS/iPadOS versions (app won’t open, crashes after updates)
Post-update UI changes and feature removals degrade usability and frustrate users
