The Typography Manual App Reviews

Super Useful for Type Maniacs and Designers. 5 Stars

and a very nice design. Good Job. Thank you

When you love type, get this app.

Would love to see this nice and usefull helper on the iPad as well...

Im by no means a professional typographer, but Ive been really pleased with this combination application and reference book. Its a real pleasure to navigate (aside from the glossary, but the developer is working on a better version of that). A sleek clean App that offers exactly what it says it will while showing off the best of iPhone user interface. Well made.

Very well done. Its also a great grammar reference.

Well organized, attractive and eminently useful. @thecitylab

This a wonderful app for those passionate about typography, the resources it has are also quite useful.

For $4 I expected a lot more from this app. FontShop has a fantastic app that goes beyond Wikipedia reiteration. Save your money; you probably already know everything this app has.

This is an outstanding typography reference. For use in Japan, it would be useful even for a non-native speaker of English, in my opinion, because of the large amount of poor typography you see when out and about in Japan. 日本には英語のTypographyの悪い例が多い為、日本のデザイナーさんにも役に立つかと思います。分かりやすい説明が主ので、ある程度英語力が必要、ですね。

Very good app. Make more typography app! Sorry my eanglish.

Waiting for *COMING SOON*

Comprehensive information, tools for graphic and web designers, nice interface. Please, add basic information on how to create your own fonts, enhance the section that deals with the most famous characters and possibly facilitate the page scrolling with arrows that do not require that the user always go back in menu. Note: why not allow users to choose which font to view the manual? It would make it more immediate. La aspettavo da tempo. Poche ma esaustive informazioni, strumenti utili per grafici e web designers, interfaccia piacevole. A voler proprio mettere i puntini sulle "i" aggiungerei informazioni di base su come creare propri fonts, arricchirei la sezione che tratta dei caratteri più noti e magari faciliterei lo scorrimento delle pagine con pratiche frecce che non obblighino lutilizzatore a tornare sempre indietro nel menu.

Great app, not a replacement for Luptons "Thinking with Type," but still brilliant, making a type app for the iPhone!

Great App! Easy to use very helpful

I think until there is a serchable version of ETS and/or TDR on the iPhone this is the app to beat for typographic reference. Its pretty attractive, it navigates well and the reference material is as nice to have at the tools like the Em Calculator and the Paper Sizes chart. Truly a great 1.0 piece of software and I look forward to future updates!

Theres really not much useful information in this little application; nothing that could not have been easily incorporated in a 10- or 12-page booklet. The buyer would be better off instead spending a few extra bucks to buy the excellent "Elements of Typographic Style" book. Its not very well written, and has unfortunate spelling lapses such as "An em dash is one em wide, hence its (sic) name..."

Being a Professional Graphic Designer for 30+ years, and a major typographic afficianado, it is nice to see this reference tool available for the iPhone. Now, of course it is not the "Be All/End All" of Typography, but it is a very sweet little reference app. The biggest weakness is that great typographic design is lacking here. I would have LOVED to have seen this app have a Fantastically Beautiful Design and use of Type in this App. Maybe in future updates?! (hint,hint). The Author should look at Design Books by Timothy Samara for Visually Stunning Desgn. When all is said & done, it is about time someone thought about all of us Type Fanatics out here.

Being a creative director for x many years and so on. This app is beyond useless! its filled with typographical mistakes (widows, rivers....) and clearly not worth my typing another word.

Good stuff
