I have used this app on and off for years. It has worked in the past amazingly well yet not always giving me the correct response. It has saved me hours and hours of trouble but recently it comes up, saying it cannot contact the servers or something like that giving me no results over and over again, please try again later, it tells me. I have to go online and do it on my computer which I can do but is not as simple as the app I donโt know what has changed, but I do wish this was fixed
Key word here is โcan.โ The app can approximate a good amount of the fonts you give it to search for, but at best itโs results are more often than not just that: approximations. It rarely ever finds the exact font, and then sometimes it seems to not even know what itโs doing in the first place and gives back a host of completely irrelevant fonts that donโt even look in the slightest bit similar. Issues with getting an error message when searching fonts is becoming more and more common as well, and some days I canโt even get it to give me ANY results - good, bad or ugly. For simple font enthusiasts or creatives, itโs a fun โhobbyโ app, but if youโre really jonesing to find out the exact fonts youโre looking for, you should go elsewhere because you wonโt ever find it on this app.
The fonts identified often look quite close to your source image, but it overlooks commonly available font matches in favor of ones youโd have to buy from a developer. Case in point: I couldnโt remember which font Iโd used for a particular project from several years ago, but knew it was on my system. The app gave me a dozen close matches Iโd never heard of and didnโt have. I finally tracked down an old electronic file, which showed me Iโd used Haettenschweiler. Itโs 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.
