Comments on Calligrapher for Android

★★★★★ Lawrence Moraga · Mar 4, 2024

Ever since I started calligraphy this app has and always will be my go-to app for practicing

★★★★★ Jim McCubbin · May 7, 2023

The app works great on my phone. I practice writing Bible verses that I want to remember.

★★★★★ E P · Sep 27, 2025

This is the closest thing I've found to that older (now defunct) app by Adobe; sketch. Love this app for its simplicity, accuracy, comprehension, & detail. The default settings are already a perfectly sized blank canvas & it works for any/all settings when you pinch-zoom. I also enjoyed that the Pen stays relative to size when you zoom. All essential presets easy to locate, spotless layout & easy to navigate interface for the advanced or first time digital artist. Back or erase with ease. 5/5

★★★★★ Donna Kelly · Feb 14, 2024

It downloaded really fast, so you can do it in like 5 minutes or so and it's a really good app from another one that you have to pay in all but this 1 is offering, so you should get if you're looking at my review thanks

★★★★☆ No reddit Red · Apr 12, 2023

Great experience so far. Tried to upgrade to pro, but it was made for an older version of android :(I hope they make a new version!

★☆☆☆☆ AP FF GAMERZ · Aug 5, 2021

Ishko kholte hi phone hang ho jata hai this is not working

★☆☆☆☆ Stefan Manea · Jan 15, 2026

I paid for the "Pro" version of this app but after a few minutes I had a glitch, so I thought to uninstall and reinstall it (restarting has been proven useless). Once I uninstalled the app I was unable to reinstall it. The only button next to the app in Google Play was "Refound" which was not even working. I'm really disappointed by this app.

★☆☆☆☆ Febin Benny · Aug 10, 2021

This app is not useful I did not like this app have any calligraphic pen and this app is not useful

★★☆☆☆ Alan Lam (Atticuss) · May 5, 2026

My only gripe about this app, it has you view ads, which is fine, but it locks you in to trying to download whatever thing it's advertising, preventing you to going back to the app.
