Saves me tons of time

Pros

I'm a big fan of this tool because it saves me a ton of time and energy. Whenever I need some info, I don't have to dig around and I can just pull it up easily. And copying from the clipboard is simple too.

Cons

It's honestly hard to find something I don't like about aText but if I had to say one thing, it's that it shows a lot of ads. Also I find it kind of annoying that it needs admin permission just to auto-start when I sign in to Windows.

Budget-friendly tool that gets the job done

Pros

What I love most about this tool is that it's totally a "set it and forget it" kind of thing. I set up a bunch of shortcuts years ago and haven't had to think about them since they just keep working like magic.

Cons

There are a couple of things that have bugged me over the years. First, It doesn't expand text in secure fields like password fields which includes all the fields in my password manager not just the actual password. And second, it can be slow when switching from secure to non-secure fields. It catches me off guard sometimes when text expansion just stops working. That second issue might be fixed now but it definitely interrupted the smooth flow of things for a while.

setup's easy & using it is even easier

Pros

It is very easy to get started with. I had it up and running in no time. It saves me loads of time and makes sure my replies always sound the same and professional.

Cons

Sometimes special characters don't come through right especially when using Rich Text Format. It doesn't happen all the time but it's frustrating when it does.
