Why isn't TextExpander 5 available in the Mac App Store? If I bought TextExpander 3 in the Mac App Store, can I still upgrade to TextExpander 5?

TextExpander cannot be "sandboxed" according to the latest restrictions from Apple, and can therefore no longer be updated in the Mac App Store. Those who currently have Mac App Store licenses can upgrade to TextExpander 5.

  1. Download TextExpander 5 from our web site.
  2. Select TextExpander > Purchase / Register TextExpander... from the menu.
  3. TextExpander will offer a way to purchase an upgrade.

TextExpander 3 will continue to be available in the Mac App Store, so that current users can continue to install it. However, Smile will not be allowed to add any new features to TextExpander 3 in the Mac App Store.
