No longer being developed

This was a great app. Sadly the developer is no longer actively developing the app so not sure why it’s still in the App Store. This is now abandonware.

Simple and reliable

Ignore the fact that Metatext hasn’t been updated in two years; software doesn’t rot like a banana. This app does what it needs to do, simply and reliably.

just works smoothly.

i’ve used this for a few years at this point, and it’s always reliable, allows all the basic functions I need like adding all text to images. Tracks notifications and best of all it’s free without any spyware or adware.
