No Delete is a feature not a bug

Old Legend

I hope this gets updated. It’s always a neat memory to come back to. Well done way back then and still is great today. Best type writer.

The Dev of this app is crazy

Try to inquire what the “card gallery” is actually a front for, and the developer goes crazy.

Needs higher res exports

UPDATE THIS APP PLEASE IT’S BEEN 7 YEARS

- higher res exports (necessity)
- export to photo gallery
- different sized or shaped cards
- if you’re feeling really spicy and extra font

Pleeeeaaaasssseee thhhhaannnkkksss

Low resolution

Everything is okay except the image resolution is extremely low!!! Nearly Pathetic. Please work on that

Not as expected. Please read

I was looking for a typewriter font for my applications. I thought was that this would download the fonts so I could use them on my ipad. That is not the case. I need to open this app and type in the very small window, using my keyboard. NOTE: This little window does not orient to Landscape mode (I use the ipad keyboard which only works in landscape mode). Also, after I’ve typed 3 words, and came to the edge of the little window, I must ensure I press the return key, otherwise it keeps typing and I cannot see or access anything beyond the little window. Again, my bad, I assumed that when it got to the edge of the space available, it would automatically go to the next line so I could continue to type. Once downloaded, there is no instructions for use. I had to tape all over the screen to open the app and then figure out how to use one font or another, none of which downloaded to my ipad, as I went to ‘Settings’, “General’, ‘Font’ and there was no font availalbe after using this app. All in all, for its VERY limited capability, I resent paying for it. Its not the money. Its that I thought I was purchasing something I needed and wanted, and ultimatly paid for something I just don’t need or want. The company should give the purchaser 24 hours to see if it works for them and refund monies if it doesn’t.

I adore this app and have for years …
just a delete button
that is all

Glitches

Cool fond but low resolution image transfer is a killer. Deleted.

Doesn’t work

You cannot use it on your iPhone or iPad. No way to save or print. You can’t get it on your notes or email. Waste of money! So disappointed!

Fixed position...

Is most unappreciated... if I can’t type with the ipad in the horizontal position, it is worthless....

Years later - Still the best

I’ve had this app for years. I don’t use it that often, but it’s amazing when I want that old card feel.

It looks like a proper typewriter. Each letter being vaguely irregular and the same irregularity doesn’t repeat.
It also has no erase, so you don’t get perfection unless you are careful - like a real typewriter.

Wish it was updated for bigger screens and sometimes wish it had bigger cards.

Ive got many other “typewriter” apps, but for quality of result, this is still the best. By far.

???

Is it possible to include accented characters?

Lies

It said the price was $2:99 and it took $19:99 from my account. Not very nice.

Abandoned

The app was abandoned by its creator four years ago as of this posting. You can’t even save your card as an image anymore. It just doesn’t work. It’s worthless.

Authentic and wonderful

I have loved this since it first came out and love its authentic look. I type my observations, poetry, narratives, etc. and drop the beautiful little cards directly into my art. I just noticed the direct save to photos doesn’t.but there is a work around* and I still get the cards..yes you could add white out but the clogged letters and worn ribbons do not change at all. Before whiteout and those painful erasers we used: strike overs, X’s, and line throughs!

*work around: instead of saving image just mail to yourself and save that image. Fixing the glitch would be nice since all these folks are not happy. I’d hate to see this app go away.

Zero Stars

This app is a cool concept but there is zero support and not much you can do with it. You can’t copy or past, you can only type a small notecard, no delete. I reached out to the developer and never heard back. I though Apple had a better vetting process. A waste of $2.

非常有用且有趣的应用

用来记录当然很合适,但这个APP真正的亮点是 public gallery的展示功能,在这里面能找到很多有创造力的深井冰………

Frustrating

No way to correct mistakes, no way to center what you’re typing this is straight up mess

Delete?

If there's a way to delete, it's not obvious. I may be overlooking it, but still doesn't end up being super useful to me.

Don’t dig it

No instructions on how to use. Not intuitive.
