AirType - Type, from your computer

Easy to setup. But when you try to use it, it keeps breaking in various ways. In most chat apps, such as Discord, sending a message or even just pressing ENTER, can cause AirType to lose connection. It can take up to 10 seconds for it to come back, or it won't come back at all until you switch keyboards, or close and re-open the app. Sometimes, the keyboard will just crash. Either after disconnecting, or randomly. It won't come back until you restart whatever app you are in. It's not very good at quickly sending messages either. For example, double tapping ENTER does not work; only sends a single ENTER. It doesn't auto-scroll the text view (like this review I'm writing). Finally, it wastes so much vertical space when it doesn't need to. Takes the same space as a standard keyboard, to show connected clients as giant rounded badges. Unnecessary! Shrink the keyboard as small as possible, since it's remote typing! All in all, this app is much better than touch typing... when it works. Sadly, too unreliable. Looking for alternatives.

No, I do t want you to have my address and credit card information. 0 stars for this one.

I Have Been Trying and stressing for about 2 hours wasting my time trying to connect this, it might work for other people but not me, in my opinion I give this app 0 stars it just doesn’t work

It works, but very hard to use: if it loses connection while you're typing (which it does the moment the text input goes inactive), it loses all your text on send. How hard would it be for the web client to retain your text / show previous texts sent / larger input box? Also, needs constant fiddling with the globe icon to ensure there is a connection.

You can only use the keyboard if the keyboard is already on the screen so it’s not at all the same as a Bluetooth keyboard pretty much useless utility

But could be better. Suggestions: 1. Add multi-line support. Currently only one line can be input, and could not send enter key. A opinion on web UI is a choise. 2. able to stop auto-sleep.

I just can’t trust this app...

This is a great app! It allows me to use my nice mechanical keyboard from my computer through a web browser. All you have to do is type the iPad (in my case) or iPhone's IP address (it gives this to you) into the browser's address bar on your computer. I only have two complaints; the first is that I wish it sent the keystrokes through live. The next is likely a bug; sometimes it takes multiple refreshes on the browser side to get it to connect, it's a little annoying but, it is a much better solution than having to reach acrost my desk to use the touch keyboard so I will deal with a bug or two. It is also super simple to setup it walks you through the process. Also a tip add the airtype interface as a pinned tab in your browser. All you have to do is right click the tab and then click pin tab. And it will always be there when you open your browser. Also because it is browser based it works with any computer that has an internet connection whether that be a MacBook, Windows computer, chromebook, or a Linux computer!

This app works great! It does what it says it’s supposed to do which I highly appreciate. My one complaint would be the whole sending option instead of instant type to text from computer to phone/ tablet instead of sending but other than that this works great! The instructional video given also was helpful. Side to to everyone else: You only type in the number next to the green. Don’t add the http:// or any slashes for that matter. Just the numbers and the periods.

No support/instructions available; developer website has no info. I’m no rookie - been using Apple products since they came out but gave up trying to configure this app. After adding the keyboard, the app asks me to find an IP address to select from my Mac, but no indication of how to accomplish this or locate the screen mentioned. I guess you get what you pay for, but I’m done.
