HiFont 5.0.9.1
There's another way in which you can make your phone stand out and that is by changing the default font on your device. However, some devices need to be rooted so you can access fonts and apply them on your phone.
Sleek design with plenty of features at hand
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or at least some instructions for new users, to help them access features inside the app and to make the most out of it. It does however come with a side menu letting you access sections easily and has a settings menu, in which you can make some changes to the interface.
The app consists of a collection of all sort of fonts as well as emoticons and smiles that you can use on your phone. It also comes in multiple languages that you can choose from, as to make it available for users from various locations around the world.
Search for the font that best suits you
The app comes with a whole collection of fonts that you can choose from, they're all classified into categories, like comic, novelty, typewriter, calligraphic, retro, etc. Another section consist of recommended fonts, they're some of the most popular fonts that are found inside the app.
In addition, it lets you manage fonts that you've installed on your device, since the app only comes with a few built-in fonts and you'll need to download the rest. While it features some ads, the app also comes with a section filled with recommended but free applications that you can download on your device. It also comes with a section filled with emoticons which you can use to write messages on social networks as well.
Some issues
The app lets you preview fonts before installing them, but it does have some issues with downloads as it takes some time to save certain fonts, while others don't download at all. You can share fonts on social networks.
Depending on the device you're using, some fonts can only be applied if you root your phone. The developer offers assistance for users who don't know how to do so, by providing them with an email filled with instructions.
That being said, you should only root your phone if you have some experience, as it's quite a sensitive process. All in all, the app is nice but the fact that some fonts only work on rooted phones makes it quite limited.
