Its Ok
It does what it needs to do. the UI needs some work to make it more attractive. Also need ability to space without hitting SHIFT key.
Lost work
Simply put, how do I get back lost work?! I would like a response to this question please.
On screen keyboard does not disappear
The on screen keyboard does not disappear like it does on the Hanx.
Request to update the keyboard layout
The font type of the app is appealing. May I request an update to complete keyboard that have all the symbols (such as < >, [ ] and { })? I have Hanx writer, it's a good app. If you can add wifi keyboard support to hide the keyboard, Hanx writer will be overtaken. It's time to give it an update in 2 years for a 10 year old classic.
Still a classic
One of the truly best original iPad apps, still great today. I've used this app every week for years, and will use this app until there is no longer such thing as an iPad. Thank you to the developer for keeping this wonderful device alive.
After all these years, my favorite app
Please don’t try to review this app if you’ve never used an actual manual typewriter (that means one not powered by electricity). This reminds me of my mother’s 1935 Underwood and is just as unforgiving, as a typewriter app should be. She typed my father’s master’s thesis on it, and they weren’t even married yet. MiTypewriter also reminds me of an original 1984 Mac Classic SoundMaster program that added old typewriter noise with each keystroke and made that awful first keyboard semi-usable — even pleasant to use. As an early adopter who spent hours on it every day, that meant a lot. I return to this app again and again in lieu of Notebook™, Teams™, Word™, Pages™, Notes™, and all the other soulless word processing programs when I need something peacefully analog, an app that unites fingers with some of the other five senses. My dear millennials, I pray that you find a real typewriter to play with before they disappear altogether, because this is the next best thing. Which is not saying much, I grant you. But when they’re all gone, what else will there be that is this satisfying?
Yeah, okay...
...but I really wish there was the option to hide the virtual keyboard when typing. I just want to see my own real keyboard. Also, unlike a real typewriter, you can only single space. It shouldn’t be hard to add a double space option. Also, be forewarned that on my new iPad Mini I can barely only see one option. Are there more? I really hope that the developer reads this and can make this truly a five star app. I really only think it’s 3.5 or even just 3 stars, but I’m being generous. If it wasn’t for these issues then this would be way better than the black Hanx typewriter NOTE: I can’t stand the look of his other ones, nor the either too small or too large a font, but at least I don’t have to see a keyboard, just the carriage and platen part. So, for this reason I’m going back to using the black typewriter in the Hanx app and put up with the too small a font and single spacing.
