What Users Really Think About Calligraphy Penmanship

Deceptive trial model combined with broken Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity and severe performance issues

"The trial period is 80 hours continuously. As soon as you start using the app, you have 80 hours until the trial is up regardless of whether you are on the app or not."

"App is not responsive to pressure from the Apple Pencil which is not very useful for learning calligraphy"

I have to continually delete app and reinstall as it is only loading trial version even though I paid for it. Otherwise, I like it.

This app is appearing to be free with "in-app" purchases. To me that means there are some things you can do for free, however, the only thing that you can click on is the dang guide. Why don't you just advertise this for what it is, a paid app. This is false a advertisement and it's not appreciated....

This app is cool for drawing and handwriting, but it glitches out A LOT! I’ve had drawings that have taken me hours and even days to draw, and the app glitches out and I lose all my work. Sometimes it even saves as a draft 1, only to save as a layered drawing.

The trial period is 80 hours continuously. As soon as you start using the app, you have 80 hours until the trial is up regardless of whether you are on the app or not.

Didn’t realize this was a pay to play thing. War hours to see if you like it, but once you trip the clock it counts down whether you are there or not. I got a good 40 minutes playtime before the pay wall popped up. Nahhh.

There is not a steady flow in this app. The “ink” is at least 2 seconds behind my pen stroke. Hopefully this is just a bug and I didn’t spend $3 on trash.

I really want to learn calligraphy and this is the first app I came along to. I don’t like this because I didn’t get a chance to try it. My Apple pen didn’t even work with it. But it works with other apps that I have. I don’t know if your able to fix this, but if you can, please do and I will try th...

The free version of this app worked for one day, but then required a payment to access any of the app features again (even the ones that had been available for free at first). The program itself is nice, but not really something I would pay money for (especially when the trial doesn’t even work)
