Background from the developer

I'm Djonny Stevens Abenz, and I go by Sen. I've built Android apps since 2012.

I use text expander apps because I don't like typing the same thing again and again, especially when a quick reply matters.

I bought one, but I wasn't happy with how it was built, and I couldn't find a better one. So I built the app I wished it was. I released the first version of Typing Hero in November 2018.

Some features start with my own needs. While traveling in Bali, I had to use WhatsApp with strangers, and saving each number to my contacts was a hassle. So I took a few hours during the trip to build the WhatsApp Action, which starts a chat without saving the number.

Users around the world have responded very well to Typing Hero. After 8 years, it's still an indie app, paid for by Premium, with no investors and no advertising. I'd like to keep maintaining it for another 8 years.
