I want my money back

I have purchased the keyboard so I can use it in other apps, and it makes no freaking typewriter sound at all (yeah, I have checked the volume). Fix it NOW.

Awesome

Love to write all my notes in it, you guys did an awesome work for sure. But pleease, add support to latin alphabet so we can use it properly. Id suggest a web version, also, so we can share and write everywhere. Congratz!

Only English language keyboard

Cannot type diacritics (á, à, ç, è, etc.). Poor flexibility!

Cannot type diacritics

I speak and write in Portuguese. So, diacritics is essential. By the way, I miss a version for MAC OS X. It would be interesting type on my MacBook.

CRASHES

The app is great, beautiful and all, but man how it crashes. I was using it for serious writing, but it always crashes after more or less one page of writing. Whilee it has a good auto save memory, you end up losing the last two or three sentences, and have to write it again. It may not seem much, but, given that it ALWAYS crashes, it gets really annoying and frightening when it happens for the 3th time in a row and you have to remember the last sentences to write it again. It loses its greatest power - its imersiviness, and it impossibilitates you of getting some serious writing done. When this is fixed the app will be simply perfect.

Purchase

wheres my purchase? I paid and not received the full version

Fantastic App

Hello! Fantastic App, just a detail. When disabled the modern return, please do not automatically load the X, so I can generate the necessary accents to my language (Portuguese Brazil).

É bom, mas sem poder acentuar, não é funcional

This app is amazing, but unfortunately, since Ive up date my Ipad Air 2 to IOS 9 it doesnt work anymore.

Wow

Really cool!

Finally on iphone

Good job!

Just QWERTY

Not useful without support for German Keyboard, with äüöß, z<->y etc. Could be Five Stars otherwise.

no german ä, ö, ū

If this is fixed, Id love this app.

Sorry, Hanks...

... but the lack of different keyboard layouts makes this app useless for all non-qwerty-users. :( I miss QWERTZ.

Unfortunately...

only available in English. No support for german "Umlaute" ä, ö, ü and the "ß". Otherwise I would by the keyboard app and give five stars.

Ah, back to the future

For boomers who learned to think and write on a manual typewriter, this is a nice bit of nostalgia. I write on my iPad mini with HanxWriter, and I have to say, I get a soothing feeling watching the carriage go back and forth while I write. It works very well - kind of disconcerting that there is no "save" option (because its automatic) but other than that. I like it! I can imagine that those who never had the opportunity to experience the tactile joy of a manual typewriter - or are of such limited attention span that learning a new "old" way to create is just too much - would not enjoy this fine app. Mores the pity. Bravo, Hanx. Keep the innovations coming.

Nice, but

offers only a QWERTY keyboard. As another user commented, why offer this app in the german App Store if you dont intend to provide a german keyboard layout?

The Odysseus of Typewriters, …

… this App steers masterfully between the Scylla of non-digital text production and the Charybdis of instant access to the tools of writing, without depriving the ardent thinker of the sweet Sirens song of a mechanical typewriter. A Masterpiece!

German Keyboard Layout&Key response

Hello Hanx, why only english keyboard layout? Cant realy work with this when writing german... Also the keyboard response iss in fact even much worse then with the original iOS software Keyboard! Hoping for some updates! Kind Regards *Getippt in "Hanx writer*...
