Easy to use great for book writers

This app is basically unusable. On my S23 Ultra, it pretends that I am not clicking on letters on the onscreen keyboard. On my Tab S9, it doubles every letter typed. There are some serious server problems plaguing the user end and I would expect better at $45/year. Save your money.
