Very good, but still a bit buggy here and there. My account expired or something while I already paid my monthly subscription. Also i have to keep changing background color for my font previews,... See more

Fontbase is excellent for the price. I love seeing and easily selecting my fonts, especially those "hidden" glyphs that I didn't understand until I stumbled on Fontbase. I gave it four stars and dec... See more

Great very useful program
Great very useful program. Now they want to add some useful upgrades BUT I'd be willing to pay a one-time fee for the upgrade, but there is no way these upgrades are worth a monthly subscription.

not what it used to be
I loved this app before, because it was simple and light. No clutter on my system because of watch folders etc.
Nowadays the app crashes (almost every time), and the most important feature: font activation works half the time. And only in Adobe Software. It also keeps deactivating fonts although I told it not too. The search function is good though.
Not sure if I'll continue my subscribtion.

In my experience, it's the best font management software available in the market
I've been using font base for over 15 years. I needed to find a solution that was better than extensis suitcase or anything else that I had tried for my professional career. I have no computer crashes, instant font activation and deactivation. It's lovely. I'm glad I purchased the lifetime subscription so long ago.

Excellent
Lightning-fast and, overall, far better than the font manager I’ve been using for ages (Sui...ase).

My favourite App for managing fonts
My favourite App for managing fonts - since I use Windows, Linux and Mac and Fontaes support all platforms, there's no alternative for me. Cool features and a nice interface.

Perfect Organizer for All Your Fonts
It’s an easy way to organize a large data base of fonts. It’s quick to use and doesn’t slow down my computer. I’ve been using it for a year.

When FontBase manages fonts
When FontBase manages fonts, ID cannot archive them into a package file, which makes the work very difficult.

I love how easy FontBase is to use
I love how easy FontBase is to use, especially when using glyphs and alternate characters. Anytime I have a question, FontBase responds very quickly with a solution to the help I needed. I couldnt imagine using a graphics program without FontBase. I should add, I have the paid version, which is only a very small payment once a year. What a deal that is!

This is hands down the best font management app for Mac, and I was a loyal customer of Suitcase for years before using FontBase. Coming from a print and web design background for over 25 years.

It's just so easy to use
It's just so easy to use. I wish that ALL of my fonts showed a preview, though...

Great tool for a great price
FontBase is a great app for organizing fonts. There could be some improvements in the UI, but in general it works excellent. I used similar apps before who became more over complicated with functionalities I didn't needed and became pricier every year. I don't regret switching to FontBase.

Opening the application takes too much
Opening the application takes too much. This app runs pretty bad in my mabook pro M1.
