### 2/5 — Can’t delete pages or erase

*2020-07-14, version 1.9.2*

Could you please make a free typing game?

### 4/5 — Very well executed.  You must focus!

*2020-03-18, version 1.9.2*

Really enjoy this app.  It’s so basic, that’s what makes it great.  I love that deleting text isn’t very easy and that you have to hit return at the end of each line to avoid typing off the page.  This forces you to actively pay attention and remain focused.  It’s a very peaceful experience.

If there was a copy/paste and/or export to text option, this would be my go-to writing app.  Unfortunately, as much as I love typing with it, I can’t really see using it much.  Knowing I cannot get my text exported elsewhere for future drafts is a huge limitation for me (and anyone else who values backing up or re-writing their drafts).

Would love to see these added but in the meantime, it’s lovely!

### 3/5 — Not the best ever

*2019-12-16, version 1.9.2*

This game is quit fun but my only issue with it is that when you spell something wrong it doesn't let you just delete the word like the arrow thing does you have to highlight it yellow then it disappears because I was writing a song then I missed out some verses then when I highlighted it,it look DREDFALL

### 4/5 — Good, but vital flaw

*2016-02-03, version 1.9.2*

It is a good app, but it lacks a few features that would be great.
Firstly is the ability to save these into your photos, this would be a great asset and make it quite great for writing.
The next is the option menu seems to be missing or hard to find.
Lastly, if these could be saved to a single file or to photos to be assorted into a file then we would have the organization that this app needs

### 4/5 — Awsome but

*2015-11-05, version 1.9.2*

Good app but when you mess up it leaves yellow mark FOREVER!😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

### 2/5 — Error

*2015-01-05, version 1.8*

The format of the app has changed. It doesn't zoom into the text like it normal did and makes it very hard to see what is being written. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Can not remove words by mistake

*2025-07-22, version 1.9.2*

Stupid app that cannot backspace to remove words!

### 1/5 — Why Can’t I save the document?

*2020-07-02, version 1.9.2*

Look cool for typing but I can’t find anyway to save or export the thing I’ve type and nothing appears to be saving.

### 1/5 — Export ?

*2019-03-02*

On ne peu plus exporter notre travail. L’application devient donc inutilisable 🤔

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2017-05-17*

Aplicativo droga! Não baixem! Só vai levar uma estrela porque só dá de opinar com ela.

### 1/5 — Чудо-программа, напоминает мошенничество

*2017-01-02, version 1.9.2*

Я извиняюсь, а как сменить раскладку клавиатуры в этой на удивление очень примитивной программе? У меня такое впечатление, что половину программ, представленных в App Store, пишут какие-то мошенники; причём Apple за этим совершенно не следит

### 1/5 — One not kullanıcısı

*2016-12-23, version 1.9.2*

Değmez.. Berbat

### 1/5 — App Need Work

*2016-01-11, version 1.9.2*

The UI could use a lot of work to give it the look & feel of typing, the ads are distracting, response is lacking. 

Recommend using Hanx instead

### 1/5 — Very Bad

*2015-09-30, version 1.9.2*

You can only open two pages and then you need to pay for more. There is no backspace and it is a very bad app. Do not download!

### 1/5 — Write only

*2015-07-21, version 1.9.1*

To be honest...
I wanted to hear the typewriter sound as I wrote.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2015-07-17, version 1.9.1*

I can't get it to even backspace.

### 5/5 — wdf

*2026-05-28*

软件很复古，支持的系统也很复古

### 5/5 — Digitale Schreibmaschine

*2020-03-07*

Wunderbare App. Auf das Wesentlichste beschränkt, wenn es ums Schreiben geht. Man damit sehr gut schreiben. Mehr wollte ich auch nicht.

### 5/5 — dhhdjdddrjydmdxnxyrnuxrjfdjjdrhhdnchrhfh

*2020-01-11, version 1.9.2*

### 5/5 — Use with Hanx Writer Keyboard

*2019-07-22, version 1.9.2*

This is absolutely fabulous !!

### 5/5 — !!!!!!

*2018-11-05*

Ich mag die Bewertung mit dem Titel ?????? wahnsinnig gerne. Es ist genau der Sinn der App, wie bei einer Schreibmaschine nicht mehr korrigieren oder ändern zu können. Mir persönlich hilft das, Texte vorab zu strukturieren, Sätze wirklich zu denken und nicht erstmal alles runter zu schreiben.
Ob das eine Einschränkung ist, die man braucht, sei mal dahingestellt, aber die App selber macht genau das, was sie soll. Daher volle Punktzahl.

### 5/5 — How to erase

*2018-02-06, version 1.9.2*

Gentlemen I can find a way to erase any letter or words. How do you erase letter or words

Thanks,

Marco

### 5/5 — excellent app, but where is Russian language? :)

*2015-10-06*

Add Russian

### 5/5 — I Love This!

*2014-05-05, version 1.6.1*

Was in need of help in curbing my nasty self-editing habit. This gives me the help I needed by not allowing autocorrect to call me stupid because all my focus is capturing the idea(s) my Muse placed in my head for a limited time.

### 5/5 — Finally freedom over the page

*2014-02-13, version 1.6.1*

This app is such a pleasure to use. It simulates a typewriter very accurately. If you are like me, the auto correct is very distracting because it criticizes your words as they come out. Or it will automatically format the upper casing of words like "iPhone" and capitalize words like "Skype". Who do you think paid who to legitimize the word "Skype" in the iOS lexicon? Well with this app, I will never distract myself with those thoughts again. 

Unfortunately this bare app doesn't allow you to do anything with your writing once its written. No print, copy, email, PDF conversion etc. these modifications whould be a game changer. I think the description promised PDF conversion and I want that, especially because I am 1.99 deep.

### 5/5 — Neat!

*2013-11-18, version 1.4*

I can not believe I have never seem this app before! I am so happy I found it! I absolutely love it. It is interesting to type on a "typewriter" on your phone. Five stars!
