While it’s become relatively easier to type on your smartphone and tablet now as compared to a few years ago (particularly when your device’s tiny keys and screen were a hindrance), there are still some functions that you can’t easily do on your touchscreen. If you’re used to Windows, you somtimes long for the convenience of undo (Ctrl+Z), redo (Ctrl+Y), find & replace (Ctrl+F). The good news is that, as with everything else nowadays, there is an app for that now that we have Inputting+.
Basically, this app gives you a smart, floating bubble every time you’re typing something on your screen. And in that bubble, you will be able to easily undo, redo, find text, and replace it with whatever you want/need. You will also be able to insert text from your clipboard history. The app will work if you enable your device to manually log text fields. It won’t work on sensitive text fields like password of course, which is okay since undoing and redoing stuff might lock you out of a site or app.
If you want more functionality for the app, you can get the pro version through an in-app purchase. You will be able to see all of your past texts from various apps onto a simple timeline. This is pretty handy for those times when the app or your smartphone suddenly crashes and you think you’ve lost all that you’ve typed.
You can download Inputting+ from the Google Play Store for free. To get the PRO version, you just need to make the $0.99 in-app purchase.
The reviewer fails to mention that this app is still in beta. They are charging people $1 to do their debugging work for them. There is no mention of the security risk associated by having the app store virtually anything you type. As if there aren’t enough security issues on a phone.
Absolutely the main use for this is to store passwords & sign-in emails/phrases.
About the only text I use repeatedly are words & phrases that I would never expose with this app. You’ve got to be kidding.
Not exactly an informative review. Failure to mention that the app is version 0.5.2 and still in beta tells me that Ida Torres is just parroting marketing hype rather than doing an honest review. Android Community should be ashamed of itself for using such sloppy writers.
