Calligraphy HD 4+

Not pay to get features, pay to maybe make it useful

I’m lucky the basic version is free. It’s a monstrosity more than an app. Everything but one brush is locked. And by that I mean that there’s one brush at an unusable size with one color. I couldn’t even seem to get it to erase without a paywall.

Now I’ll admit that eraser problem could be me. But with so may pay screens I couldn’t navigate the App far enough to get that figured out.

But the one pen I got to try was a mess. Can’t figure out if it’s supposed to be speed sensitive or pressure sensitive (I have the Apple Pencil). I spent far too much time on that.

And even then it’s a grainy brush. Like, I could see how it rendered the pixels and every edge was jagged. Lines uneven the flow of the stroke rendered on screen kinda made me wish I had just had the actual stroke

Excellent but needs more colors, perhaps a color wheel in addition

Calligtaphy HD is excellent with the $ upgrade - but just needs aditional colors - an orange, pure blue, bright yellow & especially pure white to make corrections to errors that creep in one needs to clean up. An optional color wheel would even be better allowing for more sophisticated use with an infinite color range.

Read this before you buy..

This is a four star only because, I have a question. How can the preview use cyan ink? We can only use withering gray.. please make more colors and you know those viral “Satisfying Calligraphy Writing” videos? Can you make it more like that app? Anywhoo, this is a good so far except add more brushes but otherwise, GOOD GAME FOR WRITING!!

Unfortunately the free version offer black color only. The color palette is available as an in-app paid upgrade. Also further app updates are planned in the coming months.
