SAVE YOUR MONEY

When I saw this app I thought it was used for texting but it was not so I decided this app is basically useless unless you would like to take notes which most people do not need. Do not buy this app

Garbage!

Will not allow or give option to approve camera. Need a refund and can’t even contact gives error when trying too

“Type” not “text”

I think that a lot of these people writing the review are not understanding what its for. Lets review the title, “type n walk” meaning you can type whatever you want while walking. It does not say “text n walk” or “text message n walk” it was not designed to send only a message, but it has that capability to do so. Its not perfect, but what did you expect from a small developer of apps. Great idea, ok deployment. I would rate this a 3.5 if I could.

Worst dollar I ever spent

You can type which gets you distracted and then you need to open messages to actually send it

I always read reviews....

I lost .99 for not reading into this. Very misleading app. Once you're done with text you must look through ur phone book, defeating the apps purpose.
