Minor bug fixes

User reviews

This app is pointless

It does nothing. Can’t write messages. Letters don’t even come up.

Cover up of the letters

On Apple Watch when you start typing the letters are covered up by the black square with the words scroll type on it, also it would be great if it would scroll faster (and to accommodate for that have a snapping feature) other than that I think it is a great app!! Great potential

Not as advertised

I downloaded this app thinking nay hopping that it would integrate with the native message app on my Apple Watch but to me dismay it didn’t.

I would reinstall if fully capable with messaging directly instead of typing in one app then switching to another. Disappointed.

Response from developer

Hi! Would you be able to reconsider your review because Apple does not allow that functionality for any Apple Watch apps currently? I am just one high school student developing this app, and bad reviews really hurt small developers like me. I hope you reconsider your review. Thank you!

Great app with incredible potential

There’s not much to say about this app, but I’d say that’s a good thing. I also think that this could be incredibly useful for an SGD style Apple Watch app, of which there aren’t any accessible options. Because of that, I would appreciate it if I could discuss this possibility with the developer.
