TypeIt4Me Touch for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not as seamless as on the MacOn 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..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Slows me downI 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..Version: 3.0
✓ Nice addition to MailI've used TypeIt4Me on the Mac for years. I was excited to see this application, thinking it might expand text in all applications like it does on the Mac. It doesn't (as the description clearly states) but I have every expectation that it will someday. For the moment, it expands text for email messages and replies (provided you use the TapIt4Me application to compose), which is fantastic. But surely there will come a time when text expansion can occur across all applications. I suspect Signore Etore would have made it do that if it were possible--perhaps we will need a major system upgrade before it is..Version: 0
✓ Less than uselessAs this app only works within itself it has missed it's true vocation as being a truly innovative program for the iPhone..Version: 0
✓ NeglectedApp 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..Version: 3.0
✓ Doesn’t behave well with external keyboardsWhen 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..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Good follow through to Mac appHaving 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..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Doesn't sync with desktop version either...total waste!Worthless app until they either include at least syncing and hopefully the ability to work with other apps too.Version: 2.0
✓ Desktop TI4M loyalist miffed at iOS portBeing one-handed due to a stroke disability, I LOVED (& own) several versions of Ettore's magnificent Mac desktop utility over the years. But I dl'd the iPhone version a coupla years back & it is totally pointless. One has to type out their clippings to expand within a standalone TI4M document and NOT in the desired app. Sheesh!!! iOS now has keyboard shortcut expansions built-in, but no facility to auto-type out, say, the current date and time. Can't import old clippings from desktop app either. Thot the iPad version might have more sophisticated capabilities, but alas...no. Further, the Documentation is astonishingly scant on the iOS apps. Even the flagship desktopper has, to my chagrin dropped its TSR-like macro feature and needs to be launched fully as an app in the background to be used. A good app going bassackwards! So the upshot? I've paid Ettore THREE effing times for his app on 3 platforms and am thrice bitten finally shy..Version: 2.0
✓ So close...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..Version: 2.0
✓ Absolute crap!I have owned this app on my Mac for years...use it countless times a day...love it .... what is wrong with you that you would make this so poorly for the iPhone ? It is a waste of time. Extremely disappointed. Make it work as it does on the Mac or go away. Has no value whatsoever...I wish I could choose less than one star..Version: 2.0
✓ Rather pointless app, don't buyThis app kind of replaces iPhones notes but does not work like a textexpander on a mac. You can only use the snippets only in the app itself... No system-wide abbreviation support. Absolutely superfluous. GG.Version: 0
✓ Good, but needs workI downloaded this because I have used TypeIt4Me for years and cannot imagine using my computer without it. For my iPhone, I already had Wide Email ($.99) which allows you to add shortcuts. I was excited to get TapIt4Me because I can import my TypeIt4Me shortcuts. I figured that my time saved not reentering shortcuts is worth a lot more than the cost of TapIt4Me even though it mostly just duplicates the functionality of Wide Email. I love having my TypeIt4Me shortcuts. However, when replying to an e-mail, TapIt4Me inserts the beginning of whatever you type into the subject of the e-mail. This is just annoying. I then have to go back and redo the original subject or create a new one. Wide Email allows you to either keep the subject of what you are replying to or select the subject. Mr. Ettore, please either update the instructions (in case I've missed something) or improve the functionality with respect to e-mail subject lines. If this is fixed, it goes to 5 star..Version: 0
✓ Works as advertised....After communicating with software developer, I have had my initial concerns and misunderstandings corrected and TapIt4Me works as advertised. It would be really nice if Apple would open the API enough so that this software could work on the iPhone as it does on the Mac (working inline with Mail, SMS, etc would be an awesome awesome enhancement)..Version: 0
✓ Not working for me at allI 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..Version: 3.5.0
✓ No SyncSince 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..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Don't waste your $, no customer serviceBought it, had questions, emailed customer service. 2 weeks later- still no response. Frustrated and unimpressed with this company. Don't waste your $, wish I hadn't..Version: 0
✓ Buyer's Remorse: Hard to sync • Limited functionI use TypeIt4Me for Mac, but was not able to transfer my abbreviations to the iPhone. I'm sure it's possible, but I gave up after several failed attempts when I realized that even if I got it on, what I really want is a system-wide text-substitution function. I want to be able to enter text in an IM app and have it correct my errors and expand my abbreviations. It's not the developer's fault. Apple really needs to get on this. Snow Leopard actually has a decent text substitution system with a limited interface, but in my opinion it works better than other 3rd party software I've tried. In the future, any shortcuts we teach our laptops and desktops will sync right over to the iPhone, and will work in any app. In my dreams..Version: 0
✓ This is the definition of uselessWow, you can’t see it or expect it if you use the real TYPEit4me on a Mac but this thing does not work in most apps, only in its own! What a sham and shame..Version: 0
✓ Disappointing… No instructions… not obvious how to useI jumped on this because I saw a post by Guy Kawasaki but I really didn't understand that the text would have to be copied and pasted into other apps. I do see that it could be beneficial for texting and email. I should have read the reviews and even what the developers say about it here. Shame on me. However, there are no instructions that come with the app and quite frankly, it's not all that clear how to create a snippet. The interface is not all that transparent. I tried for some time to create some snippets and was not able to figure out how to label the snippet so the text would pop up. And how to save it. And how to access it quickly..Version: 2.0
✓ TypeIt4MeHate this program. Doesn't appear to work very well at all..Version: 3.0
✓ Does work, and quite wellMy initial disappointment was based on my misunderstanding - I didn't carefully read the discriptive - and not on any fault of the developers, who, in fact, did a great job on what is a very useful app. So, now that I DO understand, I have changed my review from a one star to four..Version: 0
✓ Horribly cumbersomeType It 4 Me on the Mac is great, but this cousin is crippled. It's meant to save time entering text, but you can can't be used in most iPhone programs, including even Safari. To use it you must quit the target application, start up this one, create all your text here, then cut it to the clipboard, quit the application, start up the target application again, and paste the text. That doesn't feel like speed or simplification to me. It's a lovely idea but on this platform it simply doesn't do what it's designed to do. No fault of the programer. It's not buggy. It is just hamstrung by the environment..Version: 0
✓ How do I get a refund.This app works fundamentally different from the Mac app. There is a warning about this, but you need to look for it. As it stands, to me, the program is completely useless. How do I get a refund?.Version: 2.0
✓ TERRIBLE PRODUCTI did not understand the reviews. It types clips only into its own screen. Ridiculous! If that ain't low-tech enough, It takes at least four moves and as many as seven to insert a clip. Why bother?.Version: 2.0
✓ Not useful iPhone and iPadI used this app on iMac years ago and it was useful and did what it promised to do. The same app released for iPhone and iPad is not integrated with iOS and can not be used directly with any app you are using. Typeit4me app is therefore useless as you have to go back and forth to copy and paste. This is very painful and so I was disappointed. The developer is misleading in their claim and blames on Apple. I therefore just wasted my money in buying this app. I could not resist writing this review to warn others of possible disappointment..Version: 2.0
✓ Deep DisappointmentI haven't been this disappointed in an app in a long time. It's about half finished, at best. I am using it on a 12.9" iPad Pro, and the keyboard is a mess in landscape mode. The keyboard stays the same size as it is in portrait, but over on the side. Many keys available in the normal keyboard, including the numbers, aren't there. the keyboard layout for the iPad Pro is pretty nice, but all you get are the basic letters with this program. And the keys don't seem to work as well - I have to type at about half speed to type correctly. Because this is essentially a keyboard program, there's just no excuse. It's basically unusable, or at the most, a steep step down from the normal iPad keyboard. Also, auto correct doesn't seem to work, although there is a radio button for this in the settings menu. In short, I had to turn it off just to write this review. Maybe future iterations will be better. SCB.Version: 3.0
