I also switched to Typinator and didn’t look back. The main reason was the subscription as well as some minor things that bugged me, within TE.
With regards to iOS integration, I somehow didn’t like the TE keyboard anyway: it just didn’t stick with me.
I worked around it through maintaining selected text expansions via the internal text expansion given through macOS (found under System preferences > Keyboard > Text). Yes, it adds a step when updating a snippet due to updating it in two places but I found it worthwhile and beneficial.
Also (and I don’t know how insane this is): it really helped me to come up with a system for text expansion which I then visualised in a mind map. This mind map acts as a master file for all text expansions and gives me a birds eye view of everything (occasionally it’s a cheat sheet, too).
Happy expanding, everyone
