★★★★★ but the lack of different keyboard layouts makes this app useless for all non-qwerty-users.
★★★★★ The style and sound of the app is great! But for work and typing real letters ... eh no. It could be a creative process to feel the handling of good old style typing machines. I like this, but for my daily work? Thx…

  • I wish they would fix bugs, and give this a fresh update. 2★, Dec 13, 2022
  • The possibility of PDF creation would be nice 4★, Oct 20, 2017
  • With a few in-app-purchases (I had two) you can add a lot of features like aligning text and a decent document management. 5★, Jun 14, 2017
  • Please, please, please add the international keyboard layout, i.e. 3★, Sep 21, 2014
  • Pls add a character count, too. 4★, Aug 16, 2014

★★★★★ Macht total Spaß, kostet nichts und ist eine Erfindung von Tom Hanks. Was will man mehr?

Stürzt dauern ab!

Ich würde so gern auf dieser App mehr tippen. Ich finde die Idee sehr gut. Aber die App stürzt dauernd ab. Bitte kümmert euch darum!

★★★★★Jul 20, 2026
Stürzt permanent ab

Leider nicht auf die bisherigen Rezensionen gehört und der App doch noch eine Chance gegeben. Sie wird nur nicht mehr gepflegt. Stürzt bei schnellerem Tippen permanent ab. Ebenfalls kommt der klassische Sound mit der Tippgeschwindigkeit nicht hinterher. Es ist leider kein schönes Schreiberlebnis. Es ist nur zu hoffen, dass irgendwann diese „Fehler“ endlich behoben werden.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2025
Abzocke

Einkäufe lassen sich nicht wiederherstellen.

★★★★★Oct 5, 2025
Nostalgisch

Es erfüllt seine Arbeit mit den Sounds und Effekten einer Schreibmaschine. Ich mag es damit zu schreiben, manchmal stürzt es ab, aber die Daten bleiben, deshalb ist es nur eine kleine Macke.

★★★★★Jun 13, 2025
🤷🏽‍♂️ Kauf

...vor einem Jahr, lässt sich mit aktuellem iOS in 2025 nicht mehr wieder herstellen! 🧐😵‍💫😢

★★★★★Aug 7, 2023
Keyboard Tastatur

Ich muss leider eine negative Bewertung schreiben, die Tastatur auf dem Bildschirm bei der Schreibmaschine ist nicht komplett abgebildet. Somit fehlen viele Buchstaben, um überhaupt ein Brief oder ein Text zu schreiben.☹️ Das war damals mal gute Erfahrung mit der App/. Mit iPhone 14 Pro nicht mehr nutzbar😭😭😭
