TypeIt4Me Touch

Had to recently shift from another platform, thank you for creating this wonderful product, a joy to use.

Nice addition to my iPad, I have used this app for years on my iMac and now I can enjoy using it to aid and speed up my work on my iPad. Simple to use and link with my IMac using iCloud. It would be nice not to have to change keyboards!

Hate this program. Doesn't appear to work very well at all.

I’ve used TypeIt4Me for many years and find it invaluable. I downloaded the new OS and iOS versions a few days ago and had a question for Ettore support. The detailed and helpful answer came within a day from an actual human being.

Saves a lot of time by allowing you to use keyboard shortcuts for frequently typed text! Snippets sync via iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac. It’s a little frustrating to have to invoke a special keyboard in order to access the snippets, but that’s a limitation set by Apple not the developer.

I use this app multiple times a day, so I thought I would give it a shout out. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best solution I have found on the Mac and iOS for text expansion. Why is it not perfect? It’s been a little bit buggy over the years, but most of that has been worked out. That’s why I’m giving it five stars and I hope the developer continues to work on it! You should give it a try.

Having been a fan of the MacOS version since it first came out I like the keyboard's approach to predicting my list of shortcuts synched from my Mac, but I would have preferred go see my shortcuts appear on a separate line as I really miss the usual IOS word predictions which don't seem to come up the same way. I also miss being able to swipe down on the keys to get the numbers without having too switch to the number layout. If those two issues could be resolved, I'd give it 5 stars.

On the Mac, I can type dta and have it replace the text with 20171223. With this app, I have to go to a different keyboard and then type dta, and then try to go back to the regular keyboard. Replacing text with current date and or time is the only thing not available through iOS>Settings>Keyboard>Text Replacement. Which I find is something I don’t do on iOS since there are no files to change the name on.

I can't speak to the usefulness of the custom keyboard since I do not use it. Within the app you may use any keyboard that you like and this is what I do. It is great for entering computer code. Thank you very much!

This app seemed to work just fine in my tests. Unfortunately, in my case it isn't capable of doing what I was hoping it would do. I use a bluetooth keyboard for all my typing on the iPad, so that is the only method I tried out. The snippets worked as expected and were triggered great within the application. Unfortunately, the snippets cannot be triggered by typing the keywords on a bluetooth keyboard outside of the TypeIt4Me application. This is apparently a limitation in how iOS handles keyboard extensions as of the time of this review, so it is beyond the developer's control. So you would have to use the onscreen keyboard to trigger the snippets. In my case, I needed the snippets to use with my programming text editor, which has several other features I use. So working in the TypeIt4Me application is not really an option. So I will be returning this application. However, I wanted to leave a 5 star review for the quick and detailed customer service I received.
