it’s a great idea.....

Ok. So this is a good idea, and it’s helpful because you can type while looking through the camera. So yeah, it’s all good until you get to the sending part. To send, you need to get out of the app and type in the contact, and then send it. I wish there was a way you could download your contacts on to the app so you could just choose the person you want to send it to.

It's actually GREAT

With there being so many other versions out there, I thought this one would be a bust too BUT I WAS WRONG!
-No overbearing ads (one tiny one at the bottom)
-Multiple available formats for text
-Good input of content
-Good export of content
-Easy to use
-Good camera quality
I will be sharing with my peers! It's a great app!

Brilliant! 😄

Walkie is a funny idea! Great to use on the go.
For all on the go writers (everyone is doing it 😏) worth a try!! 👍🏻

Oh my god why

I tried using this app while walking and it interpreted my steps as shaking it. The stupid overlay came up and blocked my view so I stepped on a coral snake and had to have my left foot amputated at the ankle. Would NEVER recommend to anyone.

Good

That was ok better than others
