## Review summary

Users find the Typewriter app enjoyable for its authentic feel, sound effects, and simplicity, making it great for poetry or list writing. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues with the saving system, which saves pages as images rather than editable text, causing inconvenience. The app also lacks support for multi-page documents and has bugs like freezing, incorrect character rendering, and no portrait mode option. Despite these drawbacks, users appreciate its clear typewriter vibe and straightforward usability but desire improvements in saving, formatting, and typing experience.

### Pros

- Provides an authentic typewriter experience with satisfying sounds.
- Simple and user-friendly interface suitable for writing poems or lists.
- Allows saving and sharing of typed content.
- Customizable features like paper types and colors.
- The app is easy to use and effective for typing purposes.

### Cons

- Saving functionality is limited; documents are saved as images, not editable text files.
- The app supports only single-page documents without seamless multi-page linking.
- Bug issues like freezing after some time and incorrect character inputs (e.g., parenthesis replaced by slashes).
- Lack of portrait mode and limited keyboard/typing options such as no backspace restriction or no ding sound on enter.
- Performance issues like missing letters due to app's inability to keep up with fast typing speeds.
