I love this app but wish….

I bought this app a long time ago- it is so helpful to me and my creative process. The only issue is I wish yall would update it. The app crashes every other written sentence. I don’t lose the work / progress- but it is disruptive. Hoping the app isn’t wholly abandoned.

The keyboard does not work.

In the app, the type writer keyboard words perfect. But after purchasing the type writer to use outside of the app like on messages, the type writer has a bug that will cover the whole screen with a large grey box on the bottom. It was only 99 cents but I’m just sad I can’t use the keyboard. Will change my review once this gets solved.

I would 5-star LOVE this app if it didn’t keep crashing—CONSTANTLY

I just downloaded and purchased the complete collection and have been enjoying the sheer nostalgia of the multi sensory return to my (WAY) younger self, but in the short time I have been using it, the app keeps crashing over and over and OVER again, and it’s frustrating as hell. I hope to and look forward to using this a lot, but doing so with the ongoing frustrating of constantly rebooting is ridiculous. The good news is that content returns, but that STILL doesn’t make up for the issue, especially if it continues long term. PLEASE FIX THIS!

Beautiful App but Needs Update

I have been using this app for many years and have purchased all the typewriters. It is indeed a beautiful app and no other typewriter app out there is as beautiful as this one, but the developer has not updated in years so it keeps crashing. You can only type a few words in before it crashes on iOS 26. I can only give it three stars as I love this app but I could not recommend it to anyone with all the crashes. Please Update the app.
