Hanx Writer for Pc

I can still see the light coming through the tall windows of the typing classroom. I can still smell the faint mustiness of that old room and l most certainly can still hear Mrs. Smiley (yes, that was really her name—and she’s not an emoji) asking us to take out our typing books and start typing. There were only a couple of IBM Selectrics because they were expensive and in very short supply. So only those who were at the top of the class got to choose the Selectric, if they so desired. Even though I had the opportunity a few times for the choice of the Selectric, I MUCH preferred the “shook shook” and the “clock clock” of the old Coronas and Royals that filled rest of the tables. When my husband and I saw the journalism piece on Sunday Morning, we were just extremely fascinated by your beautiful collection, and maybe even a little inspired to start one of our own. For now, we will relish in the use of the this app. Thank you for bringing back a sweet glimmer of the past. Those surely were the good old days and you sir, gave us a little of that back in the this app. Blogging, journaling and finally getting around to writing a book will be far more enjoyable now. Thank you sir. This is brilliant and we are both absolutely loving the app. With warmest regards, The Bartletts Mobile, Alabama

This app is fun for about 10 minutes until you realize you can't do anything with it but create a draft that will need to be totally rewritten elsewhere (as though it were a real typewriter, I guess). You can only copy one page at a time, and the actual typing isn't modernized enough (like knowing to switch back to letters after you finish typing a number). The yellow, teal and red typewriters look very fake compared to the black and white. Waste of money upgrading to all of the typewriter styles and getting the third party keyboard, which crashes all of my apps. Update: app does work with a Bluetooth keyboard, which it did not previously. It may be because I’m now using a newer iPad, but I am not sure. Thanks to Apple (note that this app hasn’t been updated in 2 years), you can now create a PDF under the “share” button (the box with the arrow up). Text, however, would still need to be copied one page at a time. As an iPad app, I can see it having value to make individual pages or notes or something else that is only needed once or you don’t need to copy, except perhaps a list where the hard return generated by the carriage return isn’t an issue. But the value is in the pleasure of nostalgia, the satisfaction of the sounds, memories that arise from the visceral experience.

I love this app so much, I always wanted a typewriter but I move around often and need to economize on space so I was in ecstasy when I saw this app. What makes it different from pages or word is that this app really makes you think. It is not the best for people that want fast efficiency the reason being that the keys don’t go at the same speed as a you are used to and if you make a mistake it is a pain to delete a whole word (you can’t just hold the delete key) but that is why I like it so much because you it tries to put you in a meditative state and it makes it all the more fun to here the keys typing. The on Y problem that I have dealt with is that it doesn’t work well outside of the app. It often lags or will just disappear completely. But I highly recommend it to people who want to be old school yet refuse to give up digital technology Also, is it possible that you guys can add the typewriter noise when you add it to the third party keyboard? I prefer to have a real keyboard because the on-screen keyboard takes up half the screen and I would constantly have to move the page to see the top of the page -Nikolai

I think this is a fairly decent writing app. The novelty of it resembling an actual typewriter can be fun and immersive at times. There are a few issues I’ve found, particularly with it crashing after I attempt to copy and paste large chunks (about 25 words or more) of text. Also, it doesn’t seem to keep track of when you change fonts and typewriters. For example, if you purchase the upgrade (presented as another typewriter) that allows you to utilize different font styles and then change the typewriter to any other type, and then click anything on the side menu (that displays Reader Mode, My Documents, etc.) and then return to your document, it will automatically default to the font style that goes with the current typewriter instead of the font you were originally using. You then have to choose the typewriter that allows you to change fonts, change the font, and then change the typewriter again. Another issue is that scrolling (pressing and holding on the screen to scrub through the document) is overly sensitive and fast, making it difficult to pinpoint the cursor at a specific spot on the page. These are just some minor issues I’ve found. Overall, I think it’s an okay app that could be great with the right bit of tuning.
