User Reviews

Calligraphy HD is praised for its simple, responsive interface and affordable upgrade for practicing calligraphy ideas, but is widely criticized for intrusive ads, heavy paywalls, and limited free features. Many users report being charged multiple times or unable to restore purchases, plus occasional bugs. Some feel the app hasn’t seen updates recently. Overall value depends on paying for the upgrade, but reliability and accessibility of core tools remain major drawbacks.
Pros
  • Simple and responsive interface for practice
  • Affordable one-time price / upgrade
  • Useful for trying out new script ideas without wasting paper
Cons
  • Intrusive ads interrupt usage; ads appear frequently and disrupt painting/drawing
  • Paywalls and in-app purchases lock most features; reports of being overcharged and restore-purchase failures
  • Free version offers very limited brushes/colors; heavy paywalls reduce usefulness
  • App stability issues and bugs (crashes, unpredictable brush behavior)
  • Perceived abandonment / not updated in years (last update is long ago)

I wanted something to try out ideas for a new script style without wasting the paper. This is simple, responsive, and appropriately priced. I expect developers to be paid, so paywalls don’t bother me even when I wouldn’t place them the same way- we can’t all agree. And I was glad to see this developer offered a reasonable one-time price. The ads interrupted my second stroke, and continued to be intrusive. But I thought the functionality was there and was willing to pay to make the ads stop. I double checked the reviews because the rating overall was low. That’s ok some of my favorite apps got some early reviews that they couldn’t shake for a while. Then I saw the developer had a lot of apps. More than others I’ve seen. And they’re similar. Ok, that’s smart- reuse your code and make more variety. But I looked at several and they all had bad reviews. That and the last update was 2 years ago. Not that you have to update something that works, but I’ve no reason to believe the developer will keep the app working. It’s the only the first handwriting I looked at though, so I may come back to it.

I like the app but everything is money! I think it would be a good app if not everything was money. There are only 4 brushes you can use and you have to go back to the start of the game to choose a different brush every time, which is really annoying. If it didn’t cost money to use anything I would love it, but almost everything costs money on the app.
