Amazing fonts **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katie B. | Digital Strategist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2021 **What do you like best about Font Book?** I like Font Book on Apple products because it's one place that holds all the fonts available, but you can also add fonts you find online, whether they be free or paid fonts. You can easily add them by just dragging the font file over to Font Book. **What do you dislike about Font Book?** I dislike how you have to manually go into your files and find the app to open when adding a new font. It makes the process a bit longer than it needs to be. **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to save every font that I want to use all in one area, and once it is added to Font Book, it is available to be used on every platform. I've realized that I love having this app on my Macbook for ease of use when creating graphics or stylized documents. ### 2. Easy to use built in tool for organization **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Font Book?** I love that as soon as I download the typeface and double click it, this app comes up and shows me all the fonts I just added so I can manage them. It's nice to have that automatic, otherwise I might not know where to look for them. **What do you dislike about Font Book?** Sometimes when there is a warning about the font, the description of the warning types can be a little vague. If it was more specific, it could be easier to troubleshoot why the font isn't working and how it could be harmful to my computer. **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** Well without it there would be almost no way to see all the typefaces you have installed on your device. So it's very valuable for organization and then there is no discrepancy over cloud-based fonts. ### 3. Easy to add fonts **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sam D. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 31, 2021 **What do you like best about Font Book?** Font Book makes it easy to add fonts without skipping a beat since it's already on my computer. **What do you dislike about Font Book?** Sometimes it can be difficult to find fonts previously added. **Recommendations to others considering Font Book:** The design of Font Book could be improved to add grouping of specific/similar font types. Organization can be difficult. **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Font Book to add and organize fonts that I use in Adobe products. ### 4. Good But Not Great, The story of Font Book **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jaclyn G. | Graphic Designer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021 **What do you like best about Font Book?** I like that I can see type scale quickly and that it groups the font-weight family so you can scroll through. It also shows fonts in an easy to use way for everyone from experts to novices in the font world and makes it simple to see installed and disabled fonts. **What do you dislike about Font Book?** It's difficult to group fonts by type, so for example, trying to find all the script fonts or serif fonts in my library is virtually impossible. This makes it challenging to find a new font for a project quickly. **Recommendations to others considering Font Book:** This is a very basic font program, and there are better products out there for you. Go check out your options. **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** This program makes it easy to see at a glance my entire font library. ### 5. Simple Font Explorer **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021 **What do you like best about Font Book?** Font Book is a free program to organize and install fonts that you have downloaded off the internet or have a previous archive or fonts in your database. The best part about it is the simple and basic program. You activate which font you want and leave it on. **What do you dislike about Font Book?** If you are downloading multiple fonts families in one go, it may be tedious and slow to get everything set up. Another weak design of Font Book is that it doesn't tell you where the fonts are saved or located on your machine. If you need to back up your fonts, you will have to search for them in your finder window instead. **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** Working in an environment with both PC and Mac computers, sometimes I need to access fonts on a server. We do not have simultaneous compatibility for both operating systems, so Font Book serves as a quick application to install fonts when we use Mac computers. It's easy and fast when you are using it to access the few fonts you need, but that's the limit of my usage. ### 6. Simple and Easy to Use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Font Book?** I enjoy how simple it is to install and uninstall a font type to the IOS. Simply click, drag, right-click, and delete. So easy, a 5 year old can do it. There is no reason a font-software should be any more complicated than that. Lve the mini-preview of the font when clicked. **What do you dislike about Font Book?** Nothing really to dislike. It serves it's purpose for myself and our company. No complaints whatsoever. **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have branded companies that use licensed fonts. So, for obvious reasons, I use it for uploading fonts to my MacBook - to use on design platforms like Adobe Illustrator. ### 7. Font Book Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2022 **What do you like best about Font Book?** I like the ability to compare fonts and see numerous fonts in one program to be able to easily and promptly choose for a design basis. This ease of being able to preview your text in one program with numerous fonts makes the design process much quicker. **What do you dislike about Font Book?** There is a little bit of a slow lag between using Adobe and Font Book and some fonts are not recognized between the both without an install or download which can make things more difficult. **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ease of having a program that is included with the MAC is a huge benefit. This allows for ease of use. It has allowed us to easily drag and drop fonts from previous projects to continue to use or find out what we need to use and match it. ### 8.

He have 7 people in our design department. One great benefit is that the program will tell you if there are any duplicates or issues with fonts. ### 9. A minimal classic **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 24, 2021 **What do you like best about Font Book?** I like the ease of use, I've never used any other font management system really. It's all drag and drop, plug and play with instant previews. I suppose I do sometimes find it hard to organize.... **What do you dislike about Font Book?** As I mentioned before, it can be hard to organize. I don't do enough varied design/motion graphics jobs to warrant using anything more robust, but there are moments I've craved that. Tagging and searching would be useful of course. **Recommendations to others considering Font Book:** If you're on a Mac and just have occasional font downloads, this is really all you need! **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** I simply use it for the installation of fonts. I do like that fonts are instantly useable within software I have open once downloaded. And of course I like the instant previews. For shopping fonts I use websites with instant previews as well. ### 10.

Also, when you install lots of fonts together, there are so many pop-up windows. **What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?** I like that when I download fonts not included in Adobe fonts, there is a central hub to store them all, and it's straightforward to turn on and turn off. I can use the newly downloaded fonts right away, and it'll show up in whatever program I'm using. ### 12.
