Character Pad - App Review



Inserting characters (such as fractions, Greek letters, icons, proper roman numerals, numbers in circles, arrows, music notes, and others) is something we all need sometime... this App gives you access to quite a few.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
There are 7 screens containing a 9x9 grid of characters (567 in total). To pick any one, just touch it and it is copied to the clipboard. To use the character, just paste it into whatever application you want to use.

There is also a front screen that holds your most recently used characters for easier access.

Cost
The basic App is free (the first 3 screens) and you can obtain more characters via an in App purchase for $1.

Indispensability
This is one of those Apps where when you want to write a symbol exactly as it should be, will prove indispensable.

Dependability
It's simple and it works, just the way we like it.

Security
There are no apparent issues as this is a standalone App.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Very useful and very inexpensive (or even free).
