Absolute timesaver!

PhraseExpress is a remarkable productivity tool. With its ability to insert dates, emails, common phrases, and even GPT prompts, this software has become a daily tool for me.

The feature to insert dates is particularly useful, allowing me to quickly and accurately input the current date into documents or emails. Similarly, the ability to insert pre-defined email templates saves time and ensures consistency in communication. Moreover, the inclusion of common phrases enables swift composition of repetitive text, such as greetings or signatures.

PhraseExpress is a game-changer.

One feature request I have is that the folders and phrases would have a button layout. Instead of only have the keyboard layout. That would take this app over the edge. Thanks for all the hard work!

Cursor movement

The app doesn’t allow for cursor movement by pressing down on the space bar until it clicks and takes control of the cursor movement, from what I can tell. I use this all the time for editing.

We kindly ask for your fairness to rate our App which we provide free-of-charge to you based on _advertised_ features and not what you may expect. Please note, that we even explain in the documentation, that the PhraseExpress keyboard is not meant to fully replace the system keyboard: https://www.phraseexpress.com/ios/doc/#keyboard – Thank you for your understanding.

Doesn’t work

The Windows desktop version works great, I love it. This app will not find my phrase file database however, although according to their online help guides I’m doing everything right. When I emailed Support, they respond promptly but said the iOS app is provided for free so they don’t support it. Very frustrating for obvious reasons. I guess it will be you and your luck, whether this app works for you. But for me I will need to look for another solution.
UPDATE Feb 4: following the developer response, I clicked on their included troubleshooting link. The two files that it says need to be on iCloud/my iPhone are in fact there. The app is still not finding the phrases, however, despite reinstallation.

Please check if the new step-by-step troubleshooting video at https://www.phraseexpress.com/ios/doc/synchronization/#troubleshooting would help you setting it up. Your feedback would be very much appreciated.
