These apps are paid versions but with free versions, you will be completely fine as they give you some features to use, don’t worry they are commercial use. Meaning you can use their fonts without getting in trouble.

Typorama: This app does have a Pro version but the free version will be just fine but a downslide will have a watermark but you can remove the watermark with their software. With the free version, it does allow you to have fantasy text messages for your Tshirt design. Works only on Apple 

Over: is similar to typorama. It also has a pro version but what makes it unique from typorama is that every day Over sends free design to their store and you can download it and create something with it. Works on iPhone for now

Canva: is one you’re allowed to use to make t-shirt design as there is a paid version but with the free version, you should be set as it has everything you need as images and text fonts. If you are using the free version I suggest when you are done with your design head over to LunaPic as it is a free place where you can make your background transparent. Works with Laptop, iPhone, and Android. 

Word swag: is an app for android but Note that some of the fonts for texts are Not commercial use it almost like a risk in using the app but if you can use your laptop or desktop use canvas. If you are still going to use word swag it’s similar to Typorama and Over as they give multiple texts font. Work on an iPhone, Android.
