-------------------------------- LANGUAGE -------------------------------- Phonto supports only English (US), Chinese and Japanese, so when the priority of Chinese (or Japanese) in your setting was higher than English, Phonto would be launched as Chinese (or Japanese) mode.

To solve this problem… 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Choose 'English' in 'General' > 'Language & Region' > 'iPhone Language'. 3. Turn back your 'iPhone Language' to your favorite language.

-------------------------------- HOW TO INSTALL FONTS -------------------------------- Using iTunes, you can copy font files between your computer and Phonto on your iOS device.

1. Select your iOS device from the Devices section of iTunes. 2. Click the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page. 3. Select "Phonto" in the "File Sharing" section. 4. Drag and drop .ttf or .otf font files into "Documents". 5. Restart Phonto.

Life saving app

The fact that you can drop in images and add text on the fly is just so convenient and amazing especially combined with AI. This is one of the best apps out there.

Excellent App!

Easy to use. Does everything I need it to. With the least amount of steps. I consider it a PHD App. Most will look at “PHD” and think…”Oh, I have to be smart. And know what I’m doing!” No. “Press Here Dummy!” So simple. This old man can do it.

Used this for years
