I know a lot of the reviews here express discontentment with TextExpander’s support on iOS. I hear that, but - as a Bear and Drafts user - I rarely encounter this as a limitation. I also use an external keyboard with my iPhone, though, which makes calling the TextExpander keyboard anywhere else somewhat inconvenient. (Keyboard switching is done with the function key, if you were wondering.)

From what I understand, though, TextExpander’s SDK is quite easy to implement, so it’s also a question of other developers acknowledging that it’s a worthwhile and desired addition to their applications.

I’m not sure I’ve seen it mentioned here, but the native iOS/iPadOS/AND macOS feature now entitled “Text Replacement” is certainly worthwhile for anyone looking for something like TextExpander. It can easily be made to function quite similarly.

Elegant, diverse, instant text transformations

I’m a fan of Shihab Meboob’s, you might say - Aviary and Mast are the most innovative social clients I’ve ever seen. I’m also a bit of a collector of text manipulation applications like Texcraft, of which there are just a few that are truly comparable on iOS. On macOS, there really aren’t any equivalents at all.

For someone like me - who uses Textcraft’s transformations both recreationally/socially and has used them in development-ish tasks - its $4.99 and featherweight 3.7 MB were/are more than worth the experience. It’s super configurable, capable, and robust.
