User reviews

I think this will help in the future but they should add a menu and a simple switch for turning the font on and off or an indicator for if it is on

I use this on all my devices an apps, I find it very useful and I love that it is free. I've struggled with dyslexia my whole life and struggled as the world switched to computer-only use, the tools I used growing up were no longer applicable. with Open Dyslexic I'm able to overcome that and work much faster. computers are no longer a hurdle for me
