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. ### 4/5 — Does the job *2014-01-21* This app functions well for typing long messages and emails while on the go. However, it would be nice to have it integrated in SMS settings. ### 2/5 — Annoying to tell the text where to go *2013-11-18, version 3.0* Would be great if it was possible to use it as the actual text app.. ### 4/5 — Typing without running into stuff *2013-11-15, version 3.0* Im here thanks to iFunny ### 1/5 — Useless can't text with camera *2013-11-15, version 3.0* Who would get this if they can't text and "walk" while the app is on, it exits to and brings up the message app ### 4/5 — Great potential *2013-11-12, version 3.0* Great idea, but if it's going to take off they will have to figure out a way to send messages from within app. ### 2/5 — Not as good as it looks *2013-11-11, version 3.0* It is a great Idea but when you are done typing or texting then you have to choose to either send as a text message or to face book or Twitter. Which kind of makes the app pointless. Not worth the $.99 ### 3/5 — Came from iFunny *2013-11-11, version 3.0* Worth the 99 cent just to be able to walk around texting. It's just more fun than anything. If you have high expectations then move along- but if you're looking for something fun, the a it's worth it. ### 2/5 — Rip off *2013-11-10, version 3.0* What they don't tell you is that when you are typing u can see but when you want to send the message it doesn't let you see through anymore ### 1/5 — 👎 *2013-11-01* Thought it would be worth 69p but it's so bad ### 4/5 — Great app *2013-10-25, version 3.0* I love this app but I have a suggestion. I use multiple Twitter accounts for work and personal reasons and I would like a way to post to multiple accounts. I can’t be the only person who wants this right? ### 3/5 — Needs some work *2013-10-24, version 3.0* It's a cool concept, but it needs better integration with iMessage. If I have to switch apps to actually send what I wrote for each text, that kind of defeats the purpose... ### 1/5 — Waste of money!dont waste your time. *2013-10-24, version 3.0* This app is very misleading.Works only within app.U cant run it in bbm,what's app,iMessage ,email,viber. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SAVE YOUR MONEY *2020-04-24* 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 ### 1/5 — Garbage! *2019-03-03* Will not allow or give option to approve camera. Need a refund and can’t even contact gives error when trying too ### 1/5 — Worst dollar I ever spent *2017-08-14, version 3.1.1* You can type which gets you distracted and then you need to open messages to actually send it ### 1/5 — I always read reviews.... *2016-03-13* 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. ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2015-09-04* DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! All it is is typing. No texting. If you want to send the message it transfers the text to Messaging which is useless ### 1/5 — Worthless *2015-06-24* I bought this against my better judgment. A waste. You can type and get distracted by where you are walking but you won't see the car that's about to hit you. And you'll definitely get hit as you shift over to messaging to send your text and you have to look up the person thru your contacts. %#}£ Splat! Bang!!! Boom!!! 😕. Yikes! ### 1/5 — Boo *2015-05-07* This is so pointless and not worth buy. You can't us it to text someone without the app closing and going into messaging. Only useful if you need to take notes while walking which many people don't. Don't get this app. ### 1/5 — Un-useful *2014-11-17* This app does not incorporate into your usual messaging platforms. Useless. ### 1/5 — Обман *2014-03-13* Пишут одну цену а платишь больше в два раза !!!! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2013-12-29, version 3.0* You have to type and then find where to send it. Don't waste your money 😒 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — best app ever *2013-11-12, version 3.0* nice ### 5/5 — Ifunny *2013-11-12, version 3.0* If it wasn't for ifunny I would of never found this. ### 5/5 — Ifunny *2013-11-11, version 3.0* Just saw it on ifunny. Gonna try it out! ### 5/5 — iFunny *2013-11-10, version 3.0* Who else came here from iFunny? (; ### 5/5 — Ifunny *2013-11-10, version 3.0* I saw it on ifunny so i downloaded it ### 5/5 — See through the phone! *2013-10-25, version 3.0* This app gives the effect that the phone screen is like glass that you can see right through. It looks like they blur it a little too to help the words stand out more, kind of like a little hint of frosted glass. It works great and I hope it saves me from future mishaps. ### 5/5 — Great concept *2013-10-25, version 3.0* You still have to open your non see through apps to send the text. Wish this was an option through mms/sms. ### 5/5 — YA!!!!!! *2013-01-20, version 2.1* I love this app a will never bump in to I wall again !!!!! YAY👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-01-08, version 2.1* It's very good for iPod ❤❤ ### 5/5 — Great app and responsive developers *2012-12-15* After playing with this cool app, my mind started coming up with even cooler new ideas for it. I sent my ideas and suggestions to the developer and they told me that I had good ideas but unfortunately they would require the use of "private api's" that Apple doesn't allow developers to use. So kudos for the great app and also for taking the time to respond with a thoughtful and detailed explanation. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
