TypeIt4Me Touch

it is working.. but it needs some more features. Like selecting multiple sets at the same time. The keyboard is a little bit less width than the embedded ios one. therefore I miss typing the a and l sometime. I press the blank next to that character. also the keyboard is english and cant find an option to set it to dutch.

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.

I was so excited about this app, what would I do with all my spare time, not having to type my most common full sentences. Unfortunately, the app doesn't work well in my workflow at all. In order for your shortcuts to work, you have to be in the apps keyboard. But the keyboar does not match the ios keyboard and it is extremely slow to respond. I will type this sentence twice, once in my regular keyboard and once in the typeit4me keyboard. il epet setactwoce, onjnte regua kyboardandnce in h yoeit 4 ekyboard. That's garbled mess is me trying to type normally in the type it 4 me keyboard. If I want it to come out decently, it would take me at least 3 times longer to type. Also, the keyboard often covers the words I am typing so I can't even see the result in real time. To make matters worse, to get out of the keyboard, you don't just press the change keyboard button, you have to scroll up to the next keyboard option. I change keyboards all the time. I have an English, Spanish, and emoji keyboard. Now with this keyboard, when I land on it, I have to take an extra step to get out. I was excited about what this app could do for my workflow, but instead it is completely destroying my workflow. I can't believe I paid $5 for it. This is likely to inform what I will do after my free trial for the software on my MacBook is up. I am uninstalling until I hear that this has been completely revamped and actually works.

App hasn't been updated since July 2015. Love this app on my Mac, but can't use it on my iPad Pro. Hopefully there will be an update soon. Until then, this is useless on iPad Pro.
