Overall I like it. However it’s irritating that the application must be open for the fonts to be active. I also can’t stand that there’s a subscription pop up every time I open the application. And I can’t find any way to turn it off.

Bien au début, puis l'application ne se lance plus ou plutot se lance en arrière plan mais ne démarre pas et on ne peut plus quitter.

Well, I really wanted to like it. All the reviews told me "it's free & there are soooo many cool options".
First of all, its incredibly aggressive about getting a subscription. There are popups, there is a button displayed on the main screen (yes, you will CONSTANTLY be reminded to subscribe) and if you want to use the glyph-feature (you should be able to copy any glyph from there)... well you see 2 lines (!) of glyphs, the rest is hidden behind a subscription message. I would not mind, if I just can't copy all of them, but at least let me SEE all glyphs.
The UI is not good, but not bad either. Just normal, nothing out of the ordinary. A list of fonts and you can adapt the size. But that's it. That's all there is for me.
I understand there went much work into it and I would not mind, if they were honest about their feature set and not trying to lure you into subscribing. But if you are looking for a free font manager, there are better options out there...

Bad UX. This is not a native macOS app and runs very slow. Besides that I need a paid subscription to use
