it is a nice typewriter emulator

It feels mosly like an old typewriter. The keys, animations, and sounds feel about right. Its too bad apple doesnt support user customization of the keyboard across all apps.

It currently (v1.3) only supports emailing the text you have entered. It might be more useful if the author included an action (maybe a single tap on the typed text) that would transfer all text to the clipboard. Currently you can go into the email stage and copy all text from there.

Im ok with the keys animating up. There wouldnt be much point in them animating down. But maybe you could add an option to turn it off. On the iphone the popup keys are helpful to avoid mistakes.

A few things I would like to see change are:
1. As mentioned earlier, a way to copy text. If you want to go above and beyond, include sound/animation like pulling the sheet out. Maybe it could store the last few memos somewhere - I would like to be able to come back to this text if I screw up the paste to another app.
2. do carriage return with a swipe action. it doesnt recognize a swipe on the icon. maybe it could recognize both a a tap and a swipe.
3. a help page. it took me a while to find the carriage return. and then a while to figure out how to actuate it.
4. maybe a swipe up/down to scroll the text. there are only five lines visible at a time.
5. pressing shift should undo shift lock - that is the way i remember it working. at the moment shift seems locked out when lock is on.
6. multi touch use of the shift key might make it feel better -- i.e. hold shift with one finger and type a key with another, instead of shift latching on until next key is pressed. I can see how this might annoy some people familiar with iphone behavior though.

It is a nice little app. Probably worth a buck or two if you think you would use a retro interface for more than a few mintues.
