Fontawesome Reviews

Assistance is completely useless and vague

I am a premium user but the assistance is completely useless and vague I have been trying to solve the problem for days but now they no longer respond to my requests I m already planning on not using awesome fonts anymore

This is a ridiculous service

This is a ridiculous site they have this weird 2GB bandwidth for 99 for a simple npm usage I am already paying you handsomely and now you are charging me to push my projects And then forces me to upgrade for 499 What a joke Not to mention the ginormous lib download for 57MB on the build process No wonder we are hitting the limit It s absolute garbage that you do this for a font service And they offer no refund

Very expensive for what it is

- Feels expensive for what it is- It s taken them to the 6th version to include number and letter icons- The vast majority of requests never get implemented- Lowest plan is 99 for 5 seats which excludes people like me who only need 1- The icons come in many formats like font files and SVGs but oddly no PNGs If you want PNGs mainly for application compatibility you ll have to conver them yourself- The icons are also not available pre-categorised Only want business icons You ll always have to use the website search first You can just go in to a business folder in the download- The search tool will split results between pages but I cannot choose how many to show on a page I want to be able to see everything in one go- Nowhere in their documentation does it explain about enabling ligatures It was driving me nuts that the text wasn t changing to icons in word Well you have to open font settings and enable it Nowhere does a Google search or their own documentation explain this and Microsoft Office is a major suite of software And people pay for this Use a pirated copy like I do

slow site bad service

I upgraded to Pro because I thought their SVG kit was going to speed up might site Instead my site load time went from 8 seconds to 20 seconds Their documentation is terrible Very vague and not intuitive and I know HTML and CSS well I can figure out anything but I have spent 2 months on Font Awesome trying to get it to work Their customer support is equally as bad They just give one sentence answers that really don t answer the question

Will not refund Evil company

Hello I purchased FontAwesome Pro so I could get some extra icons I then integrated it into my project and discovered FontAwesome has icons for a million different genders which is sickening and against my religion There is only 2 genders and I can not financially support people who believe otherwise I nicely contacted their support and told them this is forbidden in my religion and asked for a refund They denied my refund Evil company ran by people with a woke agenda

Like using a hammer to drive in a screw

At first I was excited at the prospect of gaining to a whole swathe of icons which I could drop in with little issue Upon further review leveraging fonts to create icons is a horrible design decision Just using SVG images instead removes the unneeded complexity of bootstrapping fonts and plays nicer with CSS SVG was designed to do exactly what FontAwesome does but simpler and better

IT IS NOT EVEN WORKING

DOCUMENTATION IS NOT CLEAR NOTHING WORKS NPM IS NOT WORKING IN LINE SCRIPT IS NOT WORKING FIX IT YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME YOUR GITHUB AND STACK OVERFLOW DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A SOLUTION FOR EACH PROBLEM ITS SO FRUSTRATING

Deleted my entire account without reason

Their service wasn t working correctly and registering page views against my quota on a site that wasn t using fontawesome When I asked for support they weren t helpful then stopped responding communicated like children then deleted my entire account causing me hours of update time for several client sites I will NEVER use again
