It’s a pay to use app. I wish there was a free version to use. The concept is great.

What's New in Type the Verse
1.0.7
August 25, 2026
New: try it before you decide. Early in setup, pick your most-used social app and type your first verse to unlock it — the same way the app works every day. Fixed: the daily reminder could get stuck showing the same day number, and could say "Day 1" after a missed day. It now only shows a day count when a streak is actually running. Fixed: the subscription screen could show a crossed-out "before" price that wasn't the price you were shown. Fixed: on a slow connection the subscription screen could show the wrong prices.
