Great app for font lovers

As a font geek, this app has been great for me. It correctly identifies the font among reputable and popular fonts and not just among a limited database with “similar” or “copies” of fonts, as other apps do. The only feature I would like added is the ability to save fonts to favorites or something, just like in Shazam, so I don’t have to remember the name of every font that once drew my attention.

Much Better!

This app is infinitely better since their fall 2017 update! Some things are still a little finicky, such as trying to draw the boxes around the text you want to identify. But boy am I glad we got this update! Much more useful and effective now.(Original Review Below)I love What The Font... on desktop. Seriously: do not bothering trying the iOS version. It is barely functional, and it seems that the developers forgot about it years ago anyway.

Why updates do more damage than good?

One thing I'm never going to be able to understand is how an app can work almost flawlessly and all of the sudden after an update (updates only purpose is to make things better) the app stops working. Maybe the auto selection sounded like a good thing to add, but it is really a nightmare, where before I was able to draw a box where the font was located in the picture, no worries I have to go through deleting endlessly boxes that show out of nowhere without even the possibility to get rid of the auto selection option.

What The Font

What The Font is an intriguing concept for those who are interested or have a passion for font design but the overall execution seems to be lacking for me. While the app is simple in design and easy to use I feel it needs to be much more from an educational viewpoint. I would like it if the app had a database of the most common or popular fonts and how/where they are most likely to be used. Rather than just relying on the app as a snap and analyze tool it could be used as a reference guide as well.

Good app.

this app is overall a marvelous one, let’s you take a picture of a font OR import a picture from your photos that has a font on it, recognizes the font in a few seconds & gives you a bunch of results. something that could help the app would be adding history of the previous fonts recognized. I recommend this app for the designers or anyone in fact, to know a font’s name in just a few taps & a few seconds!

Room for improvement

It works decently well and has saved me hours of searching through fonts. That said, sometimes what is shows isn’t remotely close. It might that the database is limited considering how many fonts are out there. It’s not a deal breaker but it’s annoying that I have to delete the pictures I take using the app from my other photos. It would be nice if there was at least the option to only allow the pictures to exist while using the app.

Very useful font identifying app!

I’ve been using this app for several months and this app is useful!The chances of getting the exact same font is about 80-90%. Lower quality photos might impact your experience.The average rating is a 2.6, but I think it is a great app for me!

Love it, glad I have it

As a graphic designer that often works with clients that have no idea what font they used when putting their project together, this is a huge time saver. Only once could it not give me the exact font but even then it was close enough that It wasn’t a problem.

Does this even work anymore?

This WTFont used to be super finicky, but at least I could get it to work (when I first read about it more than a year ago), now it gives no errors if it can’t find something, it just searches forever - I was in the middle of some design work and let it go for a half hour last night (just to see...)Cropping/selecting the text seems unnecessarily weird considering how many native language API’s have this built in - image constantly re-sizes, re-centers, and re-sizes the crop/selection box in a way that doesn’t seem to have ANY correlation to what I’m doing to it, if you have text near the edge of the image, don’t even bother. I’ll get the selection box just right with my fingers, let go, and it snaps to something completely different, and drops (at best) the character at the end of the string I was trying to select. Take aways:-Fix text selector-Maybe a better loading modal -Give errors on timeout or empty result set

Not particularly helpful

The fonts identified often look quite close to your source image, but it overlooks commonly available font matches in favor of ones you’d have to buy from a developer.Case in point: I couldn’t remember which font I’d used for a particular project from several years ago, but knew it was on my system. The app gave me a dozen close matches I’d never heard of and didn’t have. I finally tracked down an old electronic file, which showed me I’d used Haettenschweiler. It’s available on most Windows machines, but was nowhere on the list the app gave me. It earns a second star for a clean interface, as well as for actually finding some close matches, but no higher because I suspect the developers are purposely skipping over commonly available fonts due to some kind of licensing agreement with font merchants.
