Would easily be a 5 star app if it was a LOT more user friendly. But it would sure be nice to know how to use it.

Now that I’ve played with it, I would have paid $50 or $60 for it. I basically took a chance that it wasn’t complete garbage since it’s the only font editor in the app store. It’s a great app, and I was hesitent to pay $15 for it because even the description in the app store is almost nonexistent. I’m sure the developer knows exactly what all the tools are and how to use them, but how about helping out users that are new to editing fonts. There are even a few videos, but they have no sound so you are just basically watching someone move the cursor around and don’t know when/if he’s clicking the mouse or pressing a key or anything. It doesn’t tell what all the tool icons are either.

There is a manual/tutorial on the website, but it is severely lacking in details. Some tools tips when hovering over them would be great.Īlso, there is no help file, or manual. Some are obvious but most are just symbols that mean nothing to the average user.

There is nothing to tell you what the tools are. It did everything I needed to do, but I was fumbling all the way through using it - used command-z a lot. Sometimes the round cap for freehand drawing ends up flat and point whe.

There is a non App Store version of this app on the web that seems to be popular. OS: Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon edition Bird Font version: 5.4.0 Using freehand drawing results in some annoying significant changes to it once a single stroke is done. This appears to be the only font editor in the Mac App Store.

For ipod instal BirdFont 5.4.0
