## Description

Font Candy puts you in the creator's chair and lets you produce custom designs in seconds. Add quotes, artwork, filters, colors, and even layer multiple images. Choose from 45+ artistic fonts or import your own, and overlay text with curved paths, adjustable opacity, and shadow. Create multiple captions, each editable, to craft truly unique edits.

Beyond text, explore built-in artwork and quotes, shapes, symbols, and emojis. Apply colors and filters over backgrounds or text, save designs and watermarks in the app, and share your creations to social media. Design and order items like iPhone cases, posters, T-shirts, and magnets, and use platform presets for scale and crop. Weekly subscriptions unlock all features, billed via iTunes with auto-renewal.

## Review summary

Users repeatedly report crashes and instability, plus a shift to a subscription model that complicates access for those who paid upfront. Restoration of purchases often fails. Core features have regressed after updates, and onboarding is lacking. Despite strong past capabilities for font variety and poster-style text, many reviews suggest the app is now obsolete or under-supported, overshadowing its design strengths.

### Pros

- Wide range of fonts with color customization and the ability to move and place text for posters and designs.
- Integrates as an add-on to the Fonts App, expanding design capabilities.
- Historically a powerful tool for professional editors and serious font-based work.
- Was well-regarded by long-time users for poster-style text design.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezing, leading to instability and occasional reinstallation.
- Subscription pricing and inability to restore previous purchases, with early adopters feeling punished.
- Updates have broken core features (e.g., color palettes and fonts tools) and hid or removed functionality.
- Lack of tutorials or onboarding makes basic usage hard to learn.
- Perceived obsolescence or lack of ongoing development, with reports of reduced functionality or support.
