Description
TypeIt4Me Touch is a simple notepad app with built-in text expansion for swiftly composing notes and messages. Define your own custom shorthand abbreviations and they’ll instantly be replaced as you type with the longer texts they represent, saving you time and effort.
Create and store snippet abbreviations on your iPhone or iPad and gradually build up your own custom shorthand library for quickly jotting things down. Store as many notes as you like to use and reuse later. These can be emailed, messaged and shared straight from within the app, or copied to the clipboard in a couple of taps.
Install the bundled TypeIt4Me Touch keyboard extension and quickly bring it up in any app to access long snippets of frequently used text. Addresses, email signatures and boilerplate paragraphs stored locally or in iCloud will always be right at your fingertips. Use them in Mail, Safari, Messages or anywhere else you can type. (NB: the keyboard extension is for on-screen typing only. Bluetooth hardware support is limited to composing notes in the app itself.)
Ever wished you could use your Mac TypeIt4Me abbreviations in iOS? This is the app for you. If you use TypeIt4Me 6 (or TypeIt4Me 5.4.x from the Mac App Store) and you keep your abbreviations in iCloud, you can use them on your iPhone and iPad. They will be available in the TypeIt4Me Touch app and keyboard as long as you’re signed in to iCloud. You can also add new snippets and sync them across all your Macs and iDevices.
If you’re still using TypeIt4Me 5.5.3 (or earlier versions for Mac) downloaded directly from the Ettore Software website, automatic iCloud syncing of your abbreviations between Mac and iOS is not available. However, you can still use snippets created on your Mac. Just email your Mac TypeIt4Me snippet set files to yourself and open the attachments in TypeIt4Me Touch on your iPhone or iPad to import your abbreviations.
With TypeIt4Me Touch installed on your iPhone or iPad, greetings, common phrases, boilerplate texts, URLs or even large chunks of programming code can all be just a couple of prods away. Enjoy :)

Ratings and Reviews
Good to use for longer text
I already have this app on my iMac and MacBook Pro and now I am able to share the abbreviations across all of my Macs and iPad thanks to the link with iCloud. This is not so useful for shorter abbreviations where I have already input these via the settings on the iPad and which expand automatically in most apps. However it is useful where I need longer text that has already been typed out on my Mac and can be shared across to ensure uniformity. If I make changes on the iPad to the abbreviations those changes are reflected when I go back to the Mac.
The app only expands text within itself but it is easy to copy the text using the button at the bottom before choosing the app you want to paste into. If this app were able to expand in other apps it would get five stars.
Fantastic app with great support
Love the app and totally understand its shortcomings due to iOS, it’s a shame you have to use a third party keyboard to use the snippets but until Apple sort this nothing better can be done in my opinion than the current implementation the developers have done.
I did have some small issues with the app but it’s fantastic to see the app developers take this on board and implement them in just a few months!
Developer Response ,
Hello Matt, thank you for your constructive feedback. We're happy to announce that we've just released an update and you can now activate multiple sets. To do this, either tap the switch next to a set's name or swipe right across it to toggle it on and off. As for swiping to go back, this was already supported as it is a standard iOS feature wherever a screen features a back button. We're not sure why it's not working on your device but we'll investigate further in case there's a bug we need to fix.
Truly excellent!
I had been thinking of buying this for some time, but as it had not been updated for quite a while I was worried the developer may have abandoned it. It has now been updated, so I decided to go for it. Always a worry if there is no trial version. I am so pleased I did. Works incredibly well. Fast accurate predictions and syncs immediately and reliably via iCloud. Plus it offers multi line expansions in any app using the dedicated keyboard. Highly recommended!
