Tayasui Calligraphy

Greatest most ASMR app ever :)))) For all the real artist out here!:)

Can’t change brush size easily and colors don’t blend.

I’ve been waiting and coming back to this app every so often because it’s one of the best caligraphy apps there is but what hurts it is that it still lacks basic import layer functions. Can’t import an alphabet or certificate to practice tracing. It’s mind boggling why. It has a great paper creating feature that is a very powerful that many drawing apps lack. But still missing ability to import. The developer responded to me a couple years ago so i help hope that they’d add the basic feature but the app appears almost abandoned. I hope all is well with the developer I understand sometimes health and life get in the way.

Super good app

I love this app! I wish there was more to do on here because I know. You would have great features.I have found that for some reason my paper turns different colors and I can’t get them back to the original white color I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I wish there was somewhere we could go to find out tips or little things to do. I really like how the pin writes in calligraphy it’s more realistic looking. Anyway keep up the good work and I hope you come out with some update soon because I definitely would Buy an upgrade for this app.

*** Downgraded to 1 star *** It’s a real shame to have to downgrade this app which I loved to use almost everyday. Now it is unusable. I have waited over 2 weeks for a response from the developer and nothing. So I made sure my drawings were backed up via iCloud. They were. Then I reinstalled the app. Big mistake!!! Not only did I loose all my calligraphy drawings, but the app still does not work properly, and hangs up on the menus which freezes the app. This makes the app unusable. I also lost all my custom colors I added to my palette. Over a year’s worth of work just vanished. What good is it to have iCloud back-up if it doesn’t actually work? I’m so utterly crushed! All my other apps with iCloud back-up turned on work perfectly fine. You can tell how much I loved this app from my review below. I only subtracted 1 star at the time I wrote that review, hoping there would be a quick update to fix the hanging menu & freezing app problems and return it to 5 stars! R.I.P. Tayasui Calligraphy app. You were once well loved. Hi, I absolutely love the Calligraphy app! I use it often and just yesterday it started freezing up when I select a new paper. It allows me to get to the menu to select a new paper and it has the black vertical line indicator to show which paper I selected, but when I tap the canvas, the paper selector menu won’t disappear. Same with the upper right menu, it won’t disappear and everything is just frozen. I’ve tried closing the app and opening it again. This does bring up the previous drawing, but when I go to make a new canvas it will not let me get past the paper select menu. I can draw calligraphy with the default paper, but nothing else. I’ve tried restarting my iPad but it also does not resolve the issue. I don’t want to delete the app and reinstall it as I have several projects that I need to go back to and maybe change or add layers to. Is there a limit on how many drawings can be saved? Maybe that needs to be increased? I’m not sure? I’m just crushed that the app isn’t performing well now! But I have faith it can be resolved! 😊 Also, I do have some feature requests for a future update: Ability to import a photo as a layer or background Abilities to select, move, copy & paste letterforms that I’ve created both within the app and other apps without the paper of background (w/ automatic instant alpha) Drop shadows! A variety to choose from would be great! Would be cool to make a brush that can have two or three colors as a gradient that works on the fly as you draw each stroke of the letter form! I’m not sure that’s possible but it would be really cool! Metallic looking inks Ability to apply & change colors & effects after making the drawing or letterforms, i.e. apply gradients, metallics etc to whatever is selected after it has been drawn I am able to copy & paste into other apps but I have to use something like instant alpha to get rid of the paper background. It works pretty good but it’s not perfect! Anyway, keep up the good work... I can’t tell you how much I love your app and it’s my favorite way to do my calligraphy on a tablet! The results are amazing and I get a lot of compliments!

I’ve exhausted all manner of settings to create the font listed in the description that say ‘Round’ and ‘Brush’ but the end swish/mark never thins out - it stays the same with as regular writing pressure. The lift of the pen (Apple Pencil) should decrease the width of the font when a letter or word is finished.

Works well, even with my cheap pen. Best of its kind!

I feel quite limited by size of the canvas and the guidelines. The guidelines are way too big if you wanted to write anything more than a short word (55 slant). When I rotate my iPad to be in landscape mode it turns 55 slant into a 35 slant? Not sure why it does that. I also wish you could move the canvas similar to procreate. If I wanted to write on the left hand side I would need to zoom in. It won’t just let me center the left side of the canvas. Also zooming is kinda buggy.

I the application got much waited features, like layers and guides. Now it’s close to perfection. If only it could get more papers, guides and snapping, that would be grait (even for additional fee) just love it. It reminds me of my childhood, when I was making poster headings for school newspaper. Although quite simple, it is still my first choice. The only issue is that quite often while drawing by apple pencil my hand also leaves some marks. This could be simulated by constantly tapping your finger on screen.
