### 4/5 — Video fonts typer

*2026-08-19*

Very convenient set of passing on messages pleasantly n presentingly

### 1/5 — Not with past texts

*2025-07-05, version 1.10*

You can’t copy and past texts. 
I’m disappointed.

### 5/5 — The typing sounds of days gone by

*2025-06-17*

I’m glad I found this app, because it does everything it’s supposed to do with an intuitive interface and NO Ads! The bad reviews that I have viewed are VERY OLD, so if you look at the version history, you will see that it’s been updated several times since these negative reviews. Also maybe it’s a good idea to make sure you have sufficient memory on your iPhone if you’re doing a large creation. My iPhone is an 8 Plus with 128 GB of memory. I especially like that my creations can be saved locally and/or sent directly to email and/or social media. If you have any poetic creativity, the ability to place an image for a background will surely appeal to you!

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2024-06-22, version 1.10*

Non riesco a scrivere sull’immagine intera

### 5/5 — Effektvoll

### 1/5 — This is horrible

*2021-11-22*

Dear videotyper I am sorry to inform you but I just got this app and for the first videotyper that I ever made it just deleted everything and you know how hard I worked on that the story seven paragraphs long do you know what it’s like to write seven paragraphs and then it just get deleted all without even saving it do you know what it’s like no you don’t so can you please fix this dear I’m not saying my name thank you

### 3/5 — Decent app but crashes every time you try to make a gif

*2021-09-03, version 1.9*

Decent app but crashes every time you try to make a gif.   Works most of the time when making a video though.

### 3/5 — Cannot for the life of me

*2021-02-05, version 1.9*

Figure out how to change the background. When I upload a photo it simply gets added as a minuscule tiny picture that’s part of the text.
