## Font Book Reviews
  ### 1. Access to large number of fonts

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bridget B. | Student Mentor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2019

**What do you like best about Font Book?**

Font book provides multiple fonts that aren't normally accessible online. Being a web page designer, there are many different fonts needed to compliance purposes and Font Book is the most helpful for providing them.

**What do you dislike about Font Book?**

There are still a handful of fonts unavailable. This would be even better if more fonts were added and.

**What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Meeting compliance needs for several different companies while building their landing pages on sites. Without access to particular fonts, I would not be able to make the sites go live until the fonts were found. Illegal downloads is one of the only other ways to access some of the fonts if the companies don't private them.

  ### 2. The native font viewer on MAC OSX

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Font Book?**

Installation of fonts is straightforward and after installation it is enabled system wide, helps me sort typography options for clients and is a vital tool built-in apple's MAC OSX ecosystem.

**What do you dislike about Font Book?**

Multiple files of fonts sometimes show up as disabled, its better to introduce a feature that just doesnt import duplicates and keeps font library ready to use. and if converting between fonts functionality is also built, will make font book miles ahead of online alternatives.

**Recommendations to others considering Font Book:**

Exporting and converting of fonts to other formats woff2

**What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Typography options for clients. all web / mobile digital platforms use fonts and we use font book for installation of fonts on mac os x and then use it in photoshop, preview.

  ### 3. All Your Fonts Presented Properly

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Font Book?**

Finally a place where you can find all your fonts, the style of font, and also what the font looks like instead of taking a guess.

**What do you dislike about Font Book?**

Collecting fonts is addicting now because of Font Book - my only dislike! :)

**What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Able to find the necessary fonts quickly that are needed for a special project/event.
