User Reviews

The app is praised for saving time with fast text expansions, date/time insertion, a simple UI, and automation support. Main complaints involve pricing/purchase issues, upgrade friction, and compatibility gaps with certain apps and devices. Feedback on the date/time feature is mixed, with some users benefiting from it while others report it isn’t consistently available.

Pros

Time-saving with fast text expansions and the ability to store many phrases
Date/time insertion feature with customizable formats
Simple, clean UI that's easy to use and toggle on/off
Strong automation/overlay compatibility (works with overlays, emulators, and Tasker-like workflows)
Useful for diverse use cases (lyrics, business phrases, quick messaging)

Cons

Premium pricing and upgrade friction (purchase errors, high perceived cost, blocked upgrades)
Compatibility gaps with key apps/devices (not working in Google Docs and other important apps)
Mixed feedback on the date/time feature (present in some contexts, missing or inconsistent in others)

Recent reviews

A very useful app. I wish there was an.option to show a keyword as a suggestion rather than autofill it. would also like autofill not to autofill more than once per keyword in case you need to include the keyword in different word. the app does not display on my app screen. I can only access it via Play Store

I like it because it lets me quickly type long phrases and entire passages of four to six paragraphs using exact keywords. I use it to store templates for my prompts, so I can type them instantly without having to copy them from the clipboard first.
