About this app

Bysetting up text shortcuts, you can auto-fill frequently used phrases right after typing a shortabbreviation.

Need options? Our interface offers a dynamic list of phrases coupled with every shortcut.

Not just limited to text, you can also attach images or gifs directly to your abbreviations.

Made a mistake? No worries. With a simple tap on backspace, you can undo any text expansions.

For added peace of mind, your data is safely backed up on Google Drive and easily transferable through CSV file import/export.

I downloaded this app years ago. It works well. I've had it many years, and got so used to it, that, as soon as I noticed they'd added a payment requirement, it only took me a few minutes to buy the lifetime subscription, but it was under duress. I specifically switched to this app after an old text expansion app I used added a subscription, but after years of adding shortcuts I couldn't deal with the process of switching again. Too bad. It was a great free app. Now it's an overpriced good app.

I rarely write reviews. Most now push you before you have even checked out the app. It's ridiculous! This one doesn't. The free version doesn't bombard you with ads, and does exactly what it says. They continually update, you can flash anything, or backup. Not being a computer wiz, it's an easy app, straight forward. Tried a bunch, this one is easiest to keep routine phrases and lists. I haven’t even tried the advanced stuff, and its been over a year. So yeah worth trying. I bought it.

OMG: Texpand saves me quite a bit of time every day with entering repetitive text: grocery lists, multiple email signatures, annoying punctuation and symbols (e.g., etc., āˆ†, ā‹® , ...), auto-entering dates in multiple formats, words I usually misspell. It will even enter a phrase or set of symbols with the cursor set exactly where you want it. It is well designed, with a shallow learning curve, and easy-to-use functionality. One of my favorite productivity apps.
