It’s great!! But the æsc(ᚫ) rune has a problem

The app is really great, the library of letters and symbols and so forth is incredible. The ability to create your own keyboards and use them outside the app is awesome; but I ran into a little hitch whilst doing so. I assembled a runic keyboard with great deliberation, and was excited to use it outside of the app. I was aware prior to testing it that I wouldn’t be able to use any of the extended fonts outside the app, it’s a shame, but I can understand how much of a technical challenge it must be to make any of this work in the first place. My problem, however, is with the æsc rune ‘ᚫ’. All the other runes when used outside of the app use the font ‘AppleSymbols’ but æsc appears to use ‘Catrinity’, so that when I use them, it looks like this: ᚧᚢ᛫ᛒᛚᚫᚳ᛫ᚳᚫᛏ. It doesn’t really interfere with anything practically, but I’m sure you can see how it’s an eyesore. I also suspect that with such an extensive library as Unicode Pad’s is, that this is not the only instance of this issue, though I can’t be sure of that. If it’s important, I am on iPhone.

Besides this I haven’t encountered any real issues so far. I love the app! Keep up the good work!

If it does what it says—HELP

This is an edited review, up from one star to 4. The implementation of the app is, let’s say, laconic. You pretty much have to figure it out UNLESS you discover (which I did in a promptly replied-to email to the developer) that “About Unicode Pro” at the very bottom left of what is functionally the home screen, is also where the documentation hides!!

That too is laconic but using it, if you have a clue about unicode at all (and if not, why are you buying this app?) you can do pretty wonderful things. I have to transliterate Middle Eastern Languages, and with Unicode Pro, some time and some patience, I am now able to enter all the characters I need (and more!) via a custom keyboard. Since I also use a hardware keyboard, this means I can have the transliteration keyboard open on the screen, and type normally until I need some weird character or other, and then, boom! Brilliant!

Five stars when the documentation is labeled “Help” or something similarly obvious. But an elegant little app, on the whole, and invaluable to me.

Developer Response ,

Done! The new version just released has a help button at the very top of the home screen. Hopefully this will make it more obvious. Thank you for your suggestions!

Happy Clientel ,

BIG THANKS!

This App is AMAZING! Been searching for something like this for a while. What can make it even better is the ability to create custom fonts from scratch WITHIN the App. I will update my review to a 5-star when the current cons are gone... Pros: • Able to create custom keyboards • Wide variety of catalogs • Able to store entire sets of letters, words and phrases (other than single characters) inside the keyboard buttons. Cons: • Drag and drop feature when reorganizing custom keyboard • There is a bug that needs to be fixed in the “Search for more keyboard option“ for example, when I select a keyboard of preference, then deselect, I cannot choose another keyboard again unless I back out of everything then re-enter the option • No Phoenician script that reads right to left. I have an iPhone Pro Max 12 with the 16.3 update. Thank you again!

The bug with loading other keyboards has been fixed!
