Calligraphy Master: Cursive

I thought I bought this app years ago. It was a full version that allowed you to write and copy anything over by tracing. But today I open it and everything requires a $10 payment even with the description of the app currently saying everything is free. So they went through the trouble of making a charge page but did not bother to update the app’s description. I’m almost certain I bought this app a long time ago and they are now charging again. Restoring does not do anything.

I am training to be a level 9 HSK Chinese Certified Translator. This app lets me import my favorite Chinese text and format it so i can practice writing my Chinese with text above so I can see the text to write below. It is an awesome app. Many fonts to choose from. Easy to use. Though I am highly technical experienced and a power user. I found this app to be very useful for me.

Very difficult to use. Only sometimes will the app save a draft if you accidentally hit the back button, “trace the alphabet” just gives you the text with weird spacing, when you change the size of the font, the grid does not adjust, the calligraphy pen doesn’t allow for the proper angle for the script fonts. Turning off the setting for drawing with your finger doesn’t change anything, tapping the screen with your finger will still leave marks. There’s no tutorial to explain any of this. I also don’t like that two entire categories of text are then Bible and can’t be deleted. Two stars for at least giving night mode. Not worth $10 by any stretch of the imagination. Edit: Feedback function in app also does not work, just gives me an error message in Mandarin and night mode only applies to the menus, not the actual calligraphy practice. One star, give me back my $10
