Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Custom keyboard for real-time font usage in messaging

High Demand
"Nobody wants to "share" photos of texts. They want to use new fonts as a keyboard."
"I can't change the font on my name for Twitter, IG or Facebook."

#2: Favorites/bookmarking system with organization

High Demand
"Like creating folders for favorite fonts, or categorizing fonts"
"the ability to "favorite" the fonts you like and keep them in an organized file so you can reference them later"

#3: Category filtering (script, serif, bold, funky, etc.)

High Demand
"the ability to search by type of font (script, bold, funky, etc)"
"There should be categories of fonts. Sometimes I want big bubbly letters and sometimes I want clean sans serif letters."

#4: Custom preview text with variable sizing

Medium Demand
"it would be nice to have a custom preview (type in a box to see the text used in all fonts in the catalogue) like in sophisticated font managers"
"view font in various sizes with a default text or entered text"

#5: Bulk font installation/download to other apps

Medium Demand
"Would be 5 stars with more features such as being apple to download multiple fonts into Phonto all at once instead of having to leave the app for each install"
"No instruction on how to "download" beyond the app itself; still not found on my keyboard or under Fonts in System."

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Build working Unicode font generator with clipboard integration

34% of complaints center on inability to use fonts outside the app. Create a tool that generates Unicode text alternatives (mathematical alphanumerics, etc.) that actually paste as formatted text into any app without keyboard installation.

Implement robust category filtering and favorites system

16% of users request organization features. Build taxonomies (serif, script, display, handwriting, etc.) with multi-tag support, ratings, and persistent favorites with folder organization to differentiate from bare font lists.

Create custom preview mode with variable text input

Users want to see their own text (business names, phrases) rendered across fonts at different sizes before committing. Build a 'try before you buy' experience that shows side-by-side comparisons with user input.

Fix the payment flow with bullet-proof restore purchase

11% report payment failures creating fraud perception. Implement server-side receipt validation, clear entitlement status UI, and one-touch restore that actually works. This is table-stakes for premium features.

Add curated font collections and licensing transparency

Users want to know if fonts are royalty-free for commercial use (t-shirts, etc.). Provide clear licensing info per font and create themed collections (modern, retro, professional, playful) to aid discovery beyond alphabetical lists.
