Nice App

Really like this little app. Simple and packed with lots of info. Would like to see more standard / common fonts in there. But as it stands I've learned lots already.

Would like to see more devs follow this route of educating us about really common aspects if our lives.

Disappointed

Download this today was happy to pay the small fee. However the Overlay and Juxtapose parts don’t work as they should.
When turning my iPhone X the screen graphics don’t tilt as they should and the touchable options overlay each other.
Are you in the process of fixing this if not I’ll rather have the small fee back and no app.

Great but Buggy

I think the app is/can be really useful to learn about typography. However, when I am using the “Compare - Juxtapose” feature. The font colour is white on white, with no option to change the colour (using iPhone X)

Developer Response ,

Thank you for using Typography Insight! Could you please update the app and try again? Dark mode support has been added and it should fix white on white text issue which is caused by automatic dark mode switching on iOS 13.
