This app does NOT support any keyboards

You have to press on the tablet screen for the letters!! This is insane!!! Why would you make an app that does not connect to Bluetooth keyboards???

I paid $350 for the magic keyboard for iPad and every other app in the world works with it except this one. Why on earth would the developers do this??? Waste of money!!

THINK before you download

Does not work with external keyboard!

It only gives the option of a touch screen keyboard. The whole reason I got this app is to have the equivalent of a modern typewriter experience where I can connect a bluetooth external keyboard and type. Touch screen only? Wish to get a refund!

App is completely useless

The UI needs work and more options.

There is no support for bluetooth/external keyboards.

The sound is very muffled and needs to be upgraded.

looked promising..

can’t get it to work with my external bluetooth brydge keyboard, onscreen option only.

Don’t Buy (read this first)

This had promise BUT it does not work with my IPad portable keyboard. You also cannot set tabs, th e page size is fixed for a small phone screen size. This would be fine if you want to send a few lines of message on your phone BUT it is not an application to use to type anything of length. I found the description misleading and although it was only $1.99 I still feel unhappy about buying this app.
