Do you ever find yourself unable to properly insert line breaks when posting text on SNS, resorting to using "*" or "." instead? For those who feel such frustration, an app has been created to facilitate smooth line breaks in text inputs. Hello, I am "Kaigyo". The usage is very simple! Just input the text you want to post in "Kaigyo", click the "Copy Text" button, and then paste it into the text box of the app you're posting to! Not just line breaks! Handy editing features! ・A "Draft" feature that allows you to save texts you want to post on multiple pages. ・A "Special Characters Keyboard" that lets you input hieroglyphs and cute symbols. ・A "Font Conversion" feature that allows changing the font of alphabets and numbers. Please make sure to use these as well. Your range of expression in SNS posts will greatly expand! *Please note that due to changes in specifications of the posting applications, it may become impossible to insert line breaks as intended. We appreciate your understanding in advance.

Kaigyo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6.
