Same complaints
This used to be an amazingly convenient program to use, but as others have pointed out, it’s gone way downhill. See comments below for the license vs. app store issue, but there are other problems as well. Where the text replacement used to be nearly instantaneous, you can now watch it backspace over the keyword before it types the replacement text. Very distracting. Bottom line: aText is done. Look elsewhere.
