TypeIt4Me Touch

Absolute fantastic App, I have been looking for a Boilerplate App like this for a considerable time, this App is already revolutionising my ability to convey information and request information to and from my clients. A dream come true!

Since the latest update, the syncing between iOS devices and MacBook via iCloud is broken. The developers have also stopped replying to support help, which is a very bad sign. Do not buy this software.

I can’t get it to work on the iPad at all. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but nothing works. I choose the type it for me keyboard using the globe key as usual. Then type, in apple mail, nothing in any app nothing including the notes section in TypeIt4Me I’m quite computer literate so can’t imagine what my sister would do.

Love the app and totally understand its shortcomings due to iOS, it’s a shame you have to use a third party keyboard to use the snippets but until Apple sort this nothing better can be done in my opinion than the current implementation the developers have done. I did have some small issues with the app but it’s fantastic to see the app developers take this on board and implement them in just a few months!

When used with third-party apps, TypeIt4Me doesn’t seem to understand I might be using an external (Smart) keyboard. So much so that the on-screen TypeIt4Me keyboard is displayed at the same time as I’m typing on my Smart keyboard. And text replacement doesn’t work when I’m typing on my Smart keyboard. This needs fixing. Other than that major issue, looks like it could be a useful app.

I had been thinking of buying this for some time, but as it had not been updated for quite a while I was worried the developer may have abandoned it. It has now been updated, so I decided to go for it. Always a worry if there is no trial version. I am so pleased I did. Works incredibly well. Fast accurate predictions and syncs immediately and reliably via iCloud. Plus it offers multi line expansions in any app using the dedicated keyboard. Highly recommended!

My snippets are not available outside the app which makes it a bit useless unfortunately. I understand this is an iOS sand boxing issue but it really limits the app. Nice try anyway guys.

I already have this app on my iMac and MacBook Pro and now I am able to share the abbreviations across all of my Macs and iPad thanks to the link with iCloud. This is not so useful for shorter abbreviations where I have already input these via the settings on the iPad and which expand automatically in most apps. However it is useful where I need longer text that has already been typed out on my Mac and can be shared across to ensure uniformity. If I make changes on the iPad to the abbreviations those changes are reflected when I go back to the Mac. The app only expands text within itself but it is easy to copy the text using the button at the bottom before choosing the app you want to paste into. If this app were able to expand in other apps it would get five stars.

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.
