It allows us to work directly on a worksheet by typing instead of handwriting which is a huge help since his hand gets so tired! When he types the quality of work gets so much better since he can focus more on the answers and not how tired his hand is. Looking forward to trying the paid version and the additional features it has. ### 4/5 — 𝔹𝕝𝕦𝕣 *2024-02-27* Snap type has an automatic blur problem. Can you please fix it? ### 4/5 — Great *2021-02-05* For people like me who have trouble with writing it helps them. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2020-05-08* This is a really helpful app that’s almost perfect, “but if it’s perfect than why did you only rate it a 4 stars?” Well, I said, and I quote,” a really helpful app that’s ALMOST perfect” the app is still an amazing app and nothing can be more perfect than this app in terms of quick and easy photoshop at this time period. Overall an out standing app for our time period. ### 4/5 — Needs erasing function *2018-11-10* Love this app. Would be perfect if I could erase marks made with my apple pencil. ### 4/5 — AWESOME! *2018-04-11* This app really helped me on my Map Of The Middle East. One thing is, please make it hold more documents for basic! ### 5/5 — About snap type *2017-09-24* It a great app but it need more space for you to put work.It also need to be able to write on snaps type because what if people don’t want to buy the one that you have to pay for. Sincerely snap type user🙂 ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2017-04-26* This app has really helped my daughter (3rd grade). She can do her classwork and homework on it and email it to her teacher. No one including herself could read her writing so this is fantastic. She picked it up instantly, it is very intuitive and easy to use. The only thing that could make this better would be enabling it to read text to speech on the worksheets. That is probably wishful thinking though. You can have your ipad read the words you type by enabling it in your accessability options but being able to read (text to speech) the directions and word problems would be fantastic. Even so, I rate it 5 stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2024-11-26* The location is never where you tap. The boxes don’t move when you want it to. ### 1/5 — Ok *2020-04-24* Ok ### 1/5 — WILL NOT LET ME DELETE MORE THAN 3 DOCUMENTS *2018-03-20* WILL NOT LET ME DELETE MORE THAN 3 DOCUMENTS ### 1/5 — Fix *2017-10-16* I bought pro and when I tap restore it crashes please help **Developer response:** Hi, contact us through our website and we'll be happy to help get you up and running! :-) ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2017-04-17* Can not save ### 1/5 — Having issues with snap type *2016-09-19* Hi, I just downloaded the free version and am having issues getting the desired document or pic of worksheet to open. Is there any glitches or bugs I need to know about, please? ### 2/5 — loved this app *2023-06-12* i used to always use snaptype i bought pro for school and now the new version costs 40$ and i cant have more then 3 projects super disappointing **Developer response:** Hi. You can certainly continue using SnapType Pro at no additional cost and should not have any limits on how many worksheets you can store. Contact us if you’re having any issues and we’ll be happy to help. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Snapetype review *2023-01-17* I mean its okay. **Developer response:** Hi! We'd love to hear how we can improve SnapType to provide you with more value! Feel free to email us at support@snaptypeapp.com. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Everything’s great except the upgrade *2019-01-22* I got the free version on my phone to try it out then did the in-app upgrade. Then I tried to install on my iPad and it won’t restore the upgrade; it just crashes. Not excited about that. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2018-06-11* This could be a great app, but it keeps crashing. My son has a written communication learning disability and this would be perfect if it worked better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app for students with learning difficulties *2024-02-25* Review of Snap Type Pro 2 (paid version): I’ve been trialling this app for about a month now. The students and teachers I work with have been using it very successfully. The snap and type/voice recoding function for worksheets has been great for those students who struggle with handwriting .The text to speech option is great for students who have reading difficulties. The ‘voice’ is a little unnatural, as with many text to speech options, but I’ve been impressed with its ability to identify and group text on busy, text-rich worksheets. This app fills an otherwise unmet need to assist students to complete worksheet-based tasks independently. I highly recommend either the original or paid version of this app (depending on your student’s difficulties and what they most need help with). ### 5/5 — Upgrade to Pro2 *2023-09-14* We tried the free version and it was so helpful for my daughter with dysgraphia. After seeing the additional features in the pro 2 version, we decided to upgrade. It was definitely worth it due to the templates and text wrapping. My daughter can now do all her school work (except math) in SnapType! ### 5/5 — Outstanding product *2022-04-20* My daughter has been using the app for just under a week and has been having a great time with it. She enjoys working on the app that she actually looks forward to doing her homework. The customer service has been amazing. I had a problem, contacted the developer and had a response within 24hrs. After a couple of troubleshooting emails were able to resolve the problem. Thanks Ben! ### 5/5 — This App is a Game Changer! *2022-02-28* Amazing tool for anyone with small motor or dexterity issues. Has been a game changer for my child. ### 5/5 — Simple to use! *2020-05-14* Very easy for my 12 year old son, who has autism to use. He tires very quickly writing and so this will help him complete more school work, more quickly. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-11-19* Thank you so much for making this free and available to my son who has dysgraphia it has made school more bearable for him and helps the teacher too! ### 5/5 — Amazing Tool *2019-10-18* I have never written a review before but this app is so helpful I want the world to know. My daughter is in the third grade and she struggles with spelling patterns and writing. When we did Worksheets by hand it was very hard and usually ended in tears for both of us. This program has made it so she can do the worksheets independently and in a normal amount of time. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-08-11* Easy to use, and just amazing how even an adult can use this amazing tool ### 5/5 — The best!! *2018-11-22* We had a follow up meeting yesterday to discuss how my 5th grader is doing with his iPad. He basically uses SnapType and Modmath. His teachers were super nervous about it in September, but they were so happy yesterday! They think it is helping him so much and it is all working really smoothly with their iPads—he just air drops assignments over. They said he is really responsible with it and it has given him so much confidence! He is only one in the district using SnapType. His teachers said it’s perfect for a kid like him (super smart, just hard time writing) and they want to do a faculty meeting about it to tell the other teachers how great it is!! Fantastic!! ### 5/5 — Where has this been all my son’s life? *2018-08-06* My son literally did a dance of joy the first time he tried it. Thank you for a “super-mega-wowzers” app. My son’s word, not mine. :). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
