Amazing app, worth 100 stars :) This is one of the best apps I've ever seen. It comes in so handy when you accidentally delete something that you need to recover or when you've started writing something long and an app crashes. Awesome job, keep up the great work :)

Best clipboard because it works automatically. Never looses your text again. It is a kind stucked without improvements and new features. It could have a shortcut on notification bar and return to previous app when copy is selected. No search for keyword is provided, sometimes we just don't remember the correct app to look for. The 5 minutes auto lock is a security concern, it should lock immediately or let it be configurable by user.

Works with Samsung S5 (Verizon) on KitKat It did not work at first, but I noted it never prompted that other features would need to be disabled when I enabled the accessibility service for the app. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did then give that prompt, and it still did not work until I rebooted the phone. Works flawlessly now and is much appreciated. Hope the above helps for other S5 users Am hoping it will work on the S7 Edge I will be upgrading to in a couple weeks. UPDATE: works on S7 edge

When you need it, it'll be there for you. This app is a silent lurker, hanging in the background taking note of everything you type. You'll rarely ever use it. When that pesky app crashes and takes your typed data with it however, Type Machine will be there with the backup.

Stumbled across this the other day... ...and just lost an extensive app review. Instantly opened my wishlist and purchased this. I thought I'd gotten good at avoiding screw ups like that but this is an app that's a savior when you need it and quiet when you don't.

Became useless one day Was useful but one day it started deactivating ITSELF. Now when I try to check my recently typed paragraphs after an error I get to see how this app isn't even turned on in my system preferences. I never turned it off.

Type Machine itself doesn't currently include a notification feature. However, if you're still using Clipper with the dedicated notification, you should be able to drag down on the notification with two fingers to see the Type Machine shortcut.

AWSOME program, especially with Clipper+ Sometimes on my Galaxy note 5 I accidently hit the recent apps button while typing and hit close all. This is FRUSTRATING because I have to remember what I was in the middle of typing and it never comes out as good the second time around. Since this program remembers every keystrokes you type I never have to deal with that again. There is even a slider which allows you to see up to a certain keystroke, PER INPUT FIELD. I'm LOVING this developer's apps. (hooks into clipper+ notification).

T Turner August 3, 2015

Awesome I can't believe this has less than 5000 users, if you think you don't have use for this you aren't using your device enough. It has saved me from retyping things so much I don't know if I could live without it.

Rick Cowell December 22, 2015

Awesome! I'd seen this before a few years ago, and was tempted to get it as I use my mobile for everything outside of work really, but was put off by the lack of trial... Anyway, just got it and it's already one of my favourite apps, and one I'll include on my list of recommended apps for people new to Android... Love it! (it'd be great if there was an option to automatically delete entries with fewer than XX characters though, allowing the user to set the number)...

Kurt B July 20, 2015

Used to be great! I've used this since it became available. Don't need it often but when I do it sure saves a lot of frustration. Edit 7/20/15: Worked great on my Note 2 w/KitKat. Won't work at all on my newly acquired Note 4 w/Lollipop.

Christina Sinclair October 9, 2015

Exactly what I need! Major problem solver! I kept having a problem where I'd be typing a message in WhatsApp or fb Messenger and need to leave the app to do something else on my phone. I'd go back to my message to find everything I'd typed was gone! It happened 3x in 2 hrs w/WhatsApp! Infuriated by this I set out for an app to solve my problem. I already had Clipper including the paid upgrade made by this developer (awesome app!) so I knew I liked this developer's work. When I saw Type Machine I bought it immediately! Love it! Thanks rojekti!

Fantastic! Deserves Six Stars! Has saved my (metaphorical) bacon on many occasions. As other people have said, you'll install it and forget about it. And then, one far-off day, you'll be composing some epic prose on your Android device, only to have a misplaced tap or swipe destroy your masterpiece. After a few minutes headbutting walls, wailing about why, at version 6, Android still has no "undo" function — you'll suddenly remember this gem is installed and you'll be able to get it all back again.

Jerry Frye June 16, 2015

LOVE this app! It might not be needed often but when it's needed, it prevents a world of panic and frustration. I was able to use it the first day while writing a detailed review on an app I was uninstalling. I hit a wrong area of the screen and panicked when my entire review disappeared. I then remembered I had installed this app earlier in the day. My frustration was immediately ended upon finding that my time had not been wasted. This app made all the frustration go away. It was easy, efficient & calming.

Lifesaver On so many occasions this app has brought back the written down stream of thoughts that otherwise would have been lost due to some web or connection glitch. Wonderful.

Alex Schamenek September 13, 2015

Indispensable, when it works Not sure if it's something you can control, but out of the blue the Type Machine will get disabled. Don't know why. Also, I'd love a search feature.

rojekti October 5, 2015

Hey, please make sure to disable any task killers, battery optimizers, "cleaners" and other such apps. They can quietly disable Type Machine in the background.

Tomas Kuli February 7, 2017

I've typed things in the internet (chrome) lost the info because of browser error and gone in the app to retrieve what I wrote and there's been nothing saved. Oh it may save search history, but hasn't save what's tyoed on a website. It doesn't work in every app our is completely reliable.The only blacklisted apps are game apps so should be saving all typed text. Right? Does.not. work. At. All. Has failed me several times. Don't bother to download. Would be awesome if it actually did. Keep working on it buddy.

Gaz 90 June 22, 2015

Fantastic but.... Please add the option for a permanent notification like clipper. I use this lots, not just as a backup so that would be really handy.

Gerald Wilson September 14, 2015

Works on Galaxy S3 and on Asus TF300T tablet I reinstalled it on my tablet and it seems to be working just fine. I suspect I did not install it correctly the first time.

Thom Beebo November 7, 2016

Don't be a fool and support the resposive Devs! Definition of a Fool = An Owner of any Android Device who DOES NOT HAVE Type Machine or Clipper Plus with Sync installed on their Device(s)! Type Machine is a time and "life" saver. Have you ever "lost" a doc while typing due to inadvert erasure or an app or phone "glitch"? Type Machine has it PW saved and ready to copy & paste to allow one to start at the point of loss! Clipper Plus with Sync is, by far, the most used app on my Android Devices. To those concerned about security, don't copy sensitive data OR copy & paste & then delete & Don't Sync. With most saved encrypted data, forget PW & data is gone forever.

Dustin M October 4, 2016

Genius! But one problem My browser of choice (Opera mini, because data compression) has a glitch where sometimes when you submit a form, (e.g. A comment on a blog) it just refreshes the page and erases the text. So it's good for that. However, when I try enable it, it tells me my system language isn't supported, which is Canadian English, (which is a hybrid of US and UK spelling). So I'm using US English. They're virtually the same, but I'd rather use CA English of course. Please configure it to work for your friends up North? =)

Chewy Jones September 26, 2015

As useful as a life preserver. The really great aspect of this app is that it doesn't really slow the device down unless you have to retrieve data, and then it's a small price to pay for saving yourself from having to retype what was lost. While I wait for the character regeneration, I think how glad I am that I won't have to retype the lost data.

Lora Lynch March 24, 2017

Fantabulous! Saved my butt so many times! Eliminates that terror when something you've typed "disappears". Get it. You'll love it!

Jure Frančeškin June 15, 2015

Usually you don't need to use this app But when you do, it's a life (nerve) saver. Material design updated - I'd rate 6 stars if I could now.

Tee Lynn June 19, 2015

Great app If you have auto clean set to disabled don't forget to occasionally clean it or you'll end up like I did with an app that became 95mb in size. :D

Michael Burke February 7, 2016

Saved my life just now I accidentally deleted a great review I wrote on another app remembered I'd installed type machine and boom reposted my review

Simon Scout March 17, 2017

Freaking awesome. I am a writer and use a tablet and this app saved me some heartache by recovering the otherwise unrecoverable. Thank you type machine 😊😊

Joffy Saldanha September 17, 2015

Awesome app It really helps when u are actually writing something imp and the app crashes type machine does its job... thank you

Randall Richards July 6, 2016

Saved me so many times I don't know how many times an app will crash or lose internet connectivity at the worst possible time, and lose everything I just typed. Type Machine to the rescue...

tim leath March 3, 2016

Good Does what it says it will.only problem is that it can only cover two weeks,a month+ and saving to cloud or sd card etc would be very handy..One of the most helpful,useful and time saving apps I have ever found since before Android was even called android...just waiting for a few more useful options ,then 5+ stars.

Miguel E. Puente October 27, 2016

This app has saved me a lot of rage **Needs Pixel Imprint support!!** Sometimes I start typing and I get long winded, and you tap one little button incorrectly and lose all of it. (or Android crashes). This app helps with that.

September 14, 2016

Works great, but I would love for it to add several features like search and a more flexible time amount before auto delete.

Matt Ion March 2, 2017

I love Clipper so much, when I read the description of Type Machine, I bought it sight-unseen. I'll update once I've used it a bit, but I can't imagine not loving it.

Greg Mooney January 25, 2017

I couldn't tell you how many hours this app has saved me. Probably a lot. Minimal permissions required.

Paul Howard March 4, 2016

Excellent This has saved me many times from having lost what I typed. It's very fast, capturing every word. A search function would be an improvement.

Brendan McGill November 23, 2015

Not working It's not saving anything I type.. Haven't got a clue why...

Charles Morin March 16, 2016

Masterpiece This application is a lifesaver. A new companion has been added to my stack. I also like Clipper+ a lot from that some developer.

Rajan Verma July 4, 2015

Nice productivity tool. I just love this app. Waiting for a Material Design update and a black theme. UPDATE: Material Design is here and now the app looks more beautiful.
