Only one out of my five phrase actually expands. ### 1/5 — Stürzt beim Start sofort ab *2024-12-20* Daher kein Sync mehr möglich **Developer response:** Bitte testen Sie die aktuellste iOS App Version, die wir heute veröffentlichte haben. ### 1/5 — Cursor movement *2024-05-28, version 3.0.29* The app doesn’t allow for cursor movement by pressing down on the space bar until it clicks and takes control of the cursor movement, from what I can tell. I use this all the time for editing. ### 1/5 — It does not sync *2024-02-28* With the cloud app for ms windows **Developer response:** Please find step-by-step instructions how to sync phrases with the desktop version at https://www.phraseexpress.com/ios/doc/synchronization/ ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-02-05, version 3.0.27* The Windows desktop version works great, I love it. This app will not find my phrase file database however, although according to their online help guides I’m doing everything right. When I emailed Support, they respond promptly but said the iOS app is provided for free so they don’t support it. Very frustrating for obvious reasons. I guess it will be you and your luck, whether this app works for you. But for me I will need to look for another solution. UPDATE Feb 4: following the developer response, I clicked on their included troubleshooting link. The two files that it says need to be on iCloud/my iPhone are in fact there. The app is still not finding the phrases, however, despite reinstallation. ### 1/5 — Doesnt seem to work at all. Cant get it to work *2022-12-22* i tried a basic replacement and triedto.sync with icloud from my mac. Doesnt work **Developer response:** Please check if the new step-by-step troubleshooting video at https://www.phraseexpress.com/ios/doc/synchronization/#troubleshooting would help you setting it up. Your feedback would be very much appreciated. ### 2/5 — Kompatibilität *2025-01-29* Da ich eine Lösung suchte für Windows / MacOS und iOS bin ich auf PhraseExpress gestossen. Leider stürzt auf dem IOS Apple mit allen neusten Updates immer direkt nach dem Start ab. Schade. Gute Idee, Top Ansatz jedoch leider Fokus auf Desktop. Firma bietet sich keinen App Support an. Muss wohl doch wieder zu einer amerikanischen Software wechseln :) Update: auch die neue Version stürzt ab. Auf 3 iPhones. 14, 12pro, 16pro **Developer response:** Bitte testen Sie die aktuellste iOS App Version, die wir heute veröffentlichte haben. ### 2/5 — recent download *2025-01-17, version 3.0.30* The app constantly crashes when I try to run on my ipad after downloading it multiple times. It specifically crashes when you try insert a phrase that is a if-then-else programming command( even if on the desktop the phrase works…) ### 2/5 — Was going great but *2025-01-10* Current version not working on ios18! **Developer response:** Please test the latest iOS app version that we released today. ### 2/5 — Einfügen umständlich *2022-12-26* Tastatur zeigt nur „Lade Textbausteine. Bitte warten“ **Developer response:** Für technischen Kundendienst besuchen Sie bitte https://www.phraseexpress.com/de/support/ ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is fantastic!!! *2024-02-23* I wrote this review using the text expander :3 Can’t believe ‘Text Replacement’ for IOS does let you have a new line or paragraph 🤦‍♀️ **Developer response:** Thank you for your compliments. Please do not miss to check out the PhraseExpress desktop version for Mac and Windows: https://www.phraseexpress.com/ ### 4/5 — Absolute timesaver! *2023-06-17, version 3.0.28* PhraseExpress is a remarkable productivity tool. With its ability to insert dates, emails, common phrases, and even GPT prompts, this software has become a daily tool for me. The feature to insert dates is particularly useful, allowing me to quickly and accurately input the current date into documents or emails. Similarly, the ability to insert pre-defined email templates saves time and ensures consistency in communication. Moreover, the inclusion of common phrases enables swift composition of repetitive text, such as greetings or signatures. PhraseExpress is a game-changer. One feature request I have is that the folders and phrases would have a button layout. Instead of only have the keyboard layout. That would take this app over the edge. Thanks for all the hard work! ### 3/5 — App super, Firma.. *2025-01-07* Bin Pro-Anwender. Die App ist super. Über die Firma und ihre Kundenorientierung sage ich nichts. Bis heute keine Synchronisierung mit Windows hinbekommen. Ich bitte nur die Verantwortlichen, hier sich eines Kommentars zu enthalten. Ich würde ihn nicht lesen. **Developer response:** Bitte testen Sie die aktuellste iOS App Version, die wir heute veröffentlichte haben. ### 3/5 — Ungenügend *2023-03-30* Die Abdikation hat genau einmal funktioniert. Eine Zeitliche Hilfe kann ich hier nicht erkennen. Es gibt keine Synchronisierung **Developer response:** Die Textbausteinsynchronisation wird im Handbuch erläutert: https://www.phraseexpress.com/de/ios/doc/synchronisation/ // Was meinen Sie bitte mit Abdikation im Zusammenhang mit unserer Software? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
