the best text expander ever

This is a wonderfully useful app. So many apps in this category are so locked behind a pay wall that you don't get a chance to adequately try them out. This app lets you make 10 "shortcuts" to see how they work. I tried it for a couple days and immediately purchased the lifetime subscription. This app does everything I wanted, is easy to use, is easier to try than other apps, and is reasonably priced. Thanks guys for making the app I have been looking for for years!
