Ratings and reviews

This app gave me a very poor experience. Even after paying for the premium version, I wasn't able to import a CSV file of my phrases, despite this feature being explicitly mentioned in the app description. I thought this might be because of a formatting issue, so I tried manually creating phrases and then exporting them, thinking that would reveal the proper format. However, the export to CSV option doesn't work either (just creates a blank CSV)! Left a bad taste in my mouth.

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.

This seems to be the most popular of the text expander apps available. Interface for editing your list of phrases was pretty intuitive, and I really appreciate that date variables are included in the free tier. Minus 2 stars because using it confused Google Keep about where the cursor was and whether the text I'd typed was the phrase or it's replacement.
