TextExpander for iOS Gets a Major Update

Posted May 22, 2013 at 1:12am by iClarified · 8524 views
TextExpander has been updated with support for fill-in snippets, formatted snippet and note text, renaming and duplication of snippet groups, and much more.

With TextExpander touch, you create a library of abbreviation shortcuts for snippets of text that you use frequently, such as addresses, URLs, and standard replies. Tap that abbreviation, and it automatically expands to the full snippet. (You can even insert today's date automatically with the default abbreviation "ddate"!)

You can use your TextExpander touch snippets directly in over 150 apps that support it, including OmniFocus, Things, iA Writer, DayOne, Drafts, Byword, Notesy, Elements, BlogPad Pro, Launch Center Pro, and WriteRoom. See www.smilesoftware.com/apps for a complete list.
