What's New in SnapType Pro

2026.1

November 11, 2026

SnapType Pro keeps working, and everything you purchased stays unlocked. Your worksheets stay right where they are. What's new: • A look at what's new: Features from the new SnapType now appear in Pro with a lock. They're optional, and nothing you use today has changed. Tap one to try it free in the new SnapType. • Updated for the latest iPadOS, with reorganized Settings that make it easier to find what you need and give you more ways to customize the app. • Read Aloud reads fractions correctly and recognizes worksheet text more accurately. • Sharper photos when capturing worksheets on iPads. • Dictation keeps your capitalization at the start of a sentence. • More reliable when opening worksheets and large libraries. • Bug fixes and performance improvements. SnapType Pro is no longer available to buy, but you can keep using it, and schools can keep assigning the licenses they already own. It will receive updates through the end of 2027 and keep working after that. All future features will be in the new SnapType. Learn more at snaptypeapp.com/future. Thank you for a decade of trust. We're looking forward to the next one.

This App has been an absolute game changer for my daughter. She lacks the motor skills to write so the App has opened up so many possibilities and lessons for her. Thank you. I don’t know where we’d be now without it. I have also been incredibly impressed by the speed and understanding of customer service. A glitch on the App was reported and rectified by an update in under 24 hours with regular communication throughout.

Great app

Update (May18/23): App support has been very responsive. Fixed issues and had good communication through the whole experience.
Update (May 17/23): App support has been working with me to debug and may have resolved issues with upcoming update. Thanks. Will adjust my review again with newer release. Previously: It seems this new update (to introduce SnapType Pro 2) brings back some of the bugs reported years ago. It crashes when starting. It also deleted all my previous files as if I've never used SnapType before. After restarting my iPad (with latest iPadOS), app loads but only once. Device restart is required again. Repeats.

Glad we could get this resolved for you! Thanks for your patience while founds the bugs.

Great when it works!

It’s a great tool when it actually works, but it crashes all the time. I bought it years ago and stopped using it because it was so frustrating. I just recently tried it again thinking they would have fixed the issue by now, but it’s doing the same thing!
