User reviews

Textexpander: The "Beta Version" of this app is amazing.

I received an email over a year ago, as a long-time use of TextExpander, telling me to try out the new "beta version" of the app. It’s not available here on the App Store, and its a different app in-and-of-itself, but it works so much better than this one that’s on the App Store.

In fact, the one on the App Store is rated pretty accurately, I’d give it two stars, but the beta version app, which is been out for over a year works perfectly, and I would read it higher than the other snippet apps on the App Store, because it has snippet search functionality, along with syncing the same snippets that are on my computer.

I have 400+ snippets and to be able to search quickly through all of them and quickly plug in the one I need, is so much more useful than all the other snippet apps that have folders and buttons.

Great product that needs revamp!

Great product that needs a revamp. Hasn’t been updated for 2 years! If there was something better I would switch, but I don’t want to! Please update this puppy. It is too glitchy to use on iOS, which is what I need it most. Again, I love this product, just wish it was up to date.

what the .hh??

If the app is called TEXT EXPANDER and it is “sold” as a Mac app, A iPhone app and an iPad app, please then pray tell why will it not expand in ipad or iPhone? It used to. If it doesn’t expand on iOS then what DOES it do? That is, if you still want my money next month. Right now, it’s regally sitting on my iOS devices without doing a thing in the world. There are the keyboards, sure, but why do they keep defaulting back to whatever keyboard that is not the one branded by Text Expander. So many questions, so much frustration. Am I holding it wrong?

Dead app.

App hasn’t been updated in 2 years (as of March 2023).

Great on Mac, though.

The removal of features

I’ll be honest, I’m extremely disappointed with removal of text expander functionality with apps such as drafts. The keyboard doesn’t provide the same functionality… for instance, I can’t use fill in fields in my expansions on iOS with the keyboard, it expands the entire snippet without allowing me to edit my fill in fields. The in app Drafts functionality allowed me to do this.
I have been a long time user of this app and want to continue but breaking my workflows feels like a complete reverse to the automation your company and app support. I hope the in app keyboard gains more functionality or you reconsider the current moves because the way things are currently has me as an extremely dissatisfied user.
