Type faster on your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch® in any App using the TextExpander keyboard.

How does that work? Make an abbreviation “eemail” and have it expand into “[email protected].”

No support for BT keyboard.

Well, it was promised that this app would support snippets entered from a separate BT keyboard. Regular TextExpander wasnt doing it, so I bought this app in order to have this feature, so I could use my new BT keyboard and type faster. It does not do it. At least with my keyboard. I will be contacting Apple to get my money back.

With any hope, Smile will read the reviews of their apps...

Hopefully Smile reads the reviews of the software they charge for on the app store. This Text Expander is perfectly fine the way it is for iOS - and the new one is a shameless money-grab with little to no updates in features. In fact, the new/other Text Expander iOS app is MORE LIMITED than this one in user features/options. ---- Differences between this version and the new one: - THIS app allows you to sync your snippets via various reputable cloud services, (Dropbox, iCloud, etc.) - THE NEW APP limits you to just using this companys own service for syncing your snippets - and theyre charging MONTHLY for you to do so. On top of all this, the new app saves content you type repeatedly as "suggested snippets" - so if you type your login passwords to literally anything like your email or whatever - guess what, its saved in this companys servers and theres not one thing you can do about it... Now that you have most of the information you need, hopefully you will also express the frustration youre entitled to if you have ever used this software before.

A protection racket

Gut the product I already bought, and tell me that I can buy a new one that works more or less as the old one did, as long as I continue to pay my protection money? No, thanks; the app had some degree of utility during the 3 or so years I used it, but Im going to find an alternative. See ya; would rather not be ya.

Hate the new business model

I dont want another Software as a Service subscription.

Not ready for prime time

Cant transfer my snippets from my Mac to my iphone. The app is so frustrating that I removed it from my iPhone.

Bien mais

Je suis fan de lapplication sur mon mac, absolument indispensable. Nettement mieux quavant grâce à ios8. Cependant, le clavier répond bizarrement, lock bizarre, pas de fillup text, pas de texte formaté... Raccourcis pour passer dun clavier a un autre qui ne marche pas. Donc bien mais à améliorer nettement. Je suis pas méchant je mets 4 étoiles

Inutilisable dans les sms/iMessages

Impossible de lutiliser en clavier alternatif car il faut donner laccès complet au développeur (et donc au contenu des sms, même ceux déjà envoyés). Merci la confidentialité !!!
