## Review summary

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)
