**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John W. | Physician, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I work in a high customer volume, online, industry and have to document each and every interaction accurately and in as much detail as possible. In reality, 80% of my documentation is very similar from customer to customer. With the ability to creat text-activated shortcuts, I can cut documentation time down from 10-15 minutes each to around 5or 6 minutes. Magical has been a game changer for me!

The only real downside to using magical is when there is a glitch in the Matrix and internet connectivity is less than perfect. Typing each encounter manually is painful because Magical has spoiled me.

  ### 12. Magical

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Divina C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

It's super fast to respond to our customer, especially if you type the trigger words, all of the information are already there, you just need to press send, your response in your customer in less than 10 seconds.

Honestly, I've been using Magical for two months now, and I can't find any dislike about it. 
It's super easy to use, and super inconvenient especially if you are in a rush.

Responding to customer inquiries, and Magical helps me to answer or respond to them in 10 seconds only. Reduce the time to spend typing those words that you need to answer in the customer

  ### 13. Easy to Use! Saves LOADS of Time!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jake K. | Technical Recruiter , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

Magical can save you hours of time with its text expander feature. Some of its best features include variables, which allow you to easily enter specific content such as dates, company names, and candidate names. Additionally, transfer features enable you to customize data from spreadsheets, web pages, and other sources, and automatically filter it into other work areas.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

Some of the transfer and variable features do not work on all web pages (in my experience) and they can be a bit clunky to initially set up. I would like to see the variables feature be more intuitive and responsive when "training" it what content you would like captured on a web page.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Magical automates the repetitive tasks of generating similar emails, responses, and comments that occur on a daily basis. It is highly customizable and has some promising new features (transfers, variables) that will further enhance and optimize the daily routines of copy/pasting and pulling information into different areas.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kim April C. | Team Leader, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

Magical is really helpful in creating spiels since we just a like a code or symbol, spiel will be provided as if we typed it in super fast speed. Just a few letters and the response, no matter how long, is already there, ready to be sent.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

Nothing really. I like all of it since it's really easy to use. Very user friendly. With just a a few letters then our spiels are all ready to be sent. Love it!

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time consumed in typing in replies or responses. It also makes chatting more efficient. Also, you can customize your own canned responses without making it look like you are talking with a robot.

Most helpful are fast macros that are fully customizable 
Text Expander Shortcuts can be shared among team members
I encourage all my team to use Magical to craft faster responses

I have not found any real cons or dislikes from the app based on what it offers.
I am not sure if there is a detailed tutorial on how to use Magical but a video rundown will most likely create great impact

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps with frequent text input when handling similar cases over chat/email.
It offers a great benefit by improving response time and the time it takes for us to resolve a ticket

  ### 17. Automated messaging tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carlos b. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

The number of shortcuts that can be configured for different situations in customer service chats.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

It uses a lot of memory resources. If they improved that, we would have the best customer service tool.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It speeds up attending to multiple clients at the same time. It helps those of us who try to type faster but always make mistakes at that speed. With magical, you can send messages that have already been evaluated and corrected beforehand.

  ### 18. it makes my work easier

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I CAN BE MORE PRODUCTIVE, SINCE I COMPLETE ALL MY ACTIVITIES FASTER, I HAVE TO WRITE A LOT IN MY JOB, BUT I ALWAYS USE A TEMPLATE, WHICH I CAN REPLICATE WITH MAGICAL VERY QUICKLY.

I DON'T FIND SOMETHING USELESS, RATHER THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU PUT MANY PARAGRAPHS AND IT DOESN'T APPLY THEM WHEN PLACING THE TEXT, IT PUTS EVERYTHING TOGETHER WITHOUT RESPECTING THE "ENTERS"

IN WHAT CAN I WRITE MY NOTES FASTER, SINCE I HAVE TO USE THE SAME TEXTS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, WITH JUST WRITING ONE WORD I CAN GET THE WHOLE TEXT.

  ### 19. The best tool for this feature

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

the extension is designed in a very user-friendly way. It works very well, I barely ever have issues placing the text anywhere.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

Organizing the shortcuts is *almost* a must for me. Tags don't really work for shortcuts shared with teams, so there's no way for my team to divide the shortcuts we used.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Magical's most simple features, simply to avoid copy-pasting information repeatedly. It's a great "template storer" as well, which me and my team urgently needed. The integration with AI is fun, but not super useful for what I do with it.

  ### 20. Magical has changed my life. Magical is magical.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katarina V. | Energy Advisor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2023

Nothing so far. Everything meets my requirements.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have to repeat everything I say to my clients and Magical has saved me 17+ minutes in just three days already. I am much more productive.

  ### 21. Magically Saves Time

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ritik G. | Operations and Research - Inside Sales, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I recently started using Magically to help streamline my workflow and save time on tedious tasks like copying and pasting. The tool has been a game-changer for me! With Magically, I can set up unique shortcuts for frequently used text and phrases, so I don't have to copy and paste them constantly. Instead, I can type in the shortcut and Magically automatically expand it.

I've found the tool incredibly user-friendly and easy to set up. It's also helped me increase my productivity by eliminating the need to constantly switch between different windows or applications to copy and paste information.

I highly recommend Magically to anyone who frequently finds themselves copying and pasting the same information. It's a simple but powerful tool that can save you a lot of time and hassle.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

One potential con of Magically could be that it may take some time to set up your desired shortcuts and templates. This may be a minor inconvenience for some users, especially if you have a large number of templates that you want to set up.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Magically is an automation tool that aims to solve the problem of manually copying and pasting the same information repeatedly. It allows users to set up unique shortcuts for frequently used text and phrases to easily insert that information by simply typing in the shortcut.

  ### 22. Magical is my biggest productivity secret

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alison P. | CMO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I love that Magical helps send personalized emails in record speed using variables. In my line of work, efficiency matters a lot - I've saved 40 hours with Magical and my employees have commented on the specificity in my emails (win win). I recently discovered transfers...and it has been game-changing in helping me get contact information from LinkedIn to Gsheets. I'm excited to use this feature more.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

To be honest, there's not anything that comes to mind...and when something small does occur, the team at Magical is incredibly responsive to getting things fixed right away.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a marketer, I have to send emails to vendors and clients frequently - many of them are the same but require some degree of personalization. I am also spending cycles gathering information (for example influencers on TikTok, vendors on LinkedIn). Magical saves me a ton of time (40 hours to date) and is true top it's name.

  ### 23. I have recommended this to colleagues and my fiance for her work! I love Magical

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Benjamin  H. | Customer Success Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I appreciate that it prompts me to create shortcuts for repetitive tasks, and I like that I can have shortkeys for scripts I use often which saves me a tonne of time in typing, checking, etc.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

I am trying really hard to find a utility for variables or Transfer as a Customer Success Manager. I would like to incorporate it into my daily routine further, but I'm yet to find a way that doesn't rely on more work first! :(

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a CSM, I have to type the same generic emails out as specific criteria within a customers account implementation are met. As the technical lead, I am often always implementing scripts in accounts, and yeah, it just saves me so much time in having to look for templates and type out scripts. Bless u Magical.

  ### 24. Try it...you won't regret it!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Allison S. | Administrative Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I've been using Magical for approximately 6 months and I couldn't imagine it not being a part of my daily workflow now. It has streamlined one of my weekly tasks so well that it now only takes me 1 hour to complete instead of 3+!

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

I do not think that there is really any improvements that can be made. Very user friendly, extremely useful. I just wish I could get more coworkers to try it because I know they would be hooked!

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Improving workflows and efficiency.

  ### 25. A Huge Time Saver

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alan W. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Magical?**

It saves me time and I use it every day. I have to type keywords every day and they usually come in sets. But I can type one keyword with Magical and have all the related keywords automatically added. It also reduces the likelihood of mistakes from typos.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

I found the transfers difficult to understand so I gave up on them. I might try again though. Also, I found the transfer option above my shortcuts annoying. I'd like to be able to shut them off.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As mentioned above, Magical saves me a lot of time. I am a small business owner with no employees so time is very important to me. I don't use many of the features that magical offers but I have a feeling that when I get to understand Transfers better, they will save me more time.

  ### 26. Making work more efficient one step at a time

Sometimes linking the correct vaiables to what you are trying to do can be confusing. I know the team is passionatly working to makes things better everyday.

I use Magical to reach out to cnadidates that I recruit. I also use it for repretitive emails that needs to be sent relating to recruiting. It saves me a ton of time!

  ### 28. Great help during multi tasking

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Susan (Sam) R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

Awesome shortcuts for an automatic reply, a helpful tool to use during pressured times with huge workload. A valuable system to utilize most of the time.  I might depend on my life to Magical.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

Sometimes, it will load for a couple of minutes a common downside of an automatic system that has covered extended information within the organization. Other than what I mentioned Magical is still a great system to use.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Of course, Magical saves time a lot during work hours and I don't need to waste my time typing a very detailed email to my client. All I need to do is to save my automatic reply to frequently ask questions during task assignment.

  ### 29. Increases productivity!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Meaghen T. | Success Expert, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

Magical is an amazing application for maximizing productivity.  It has automated so much of my daily tasks, such as notating accounts, templates for form emails, and shortcuts for filling in forms.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

When the company I work for first let us know about Magical, I was very intimidated by it at first.  I initially only used the shortcuts b/c they were the only part that made sense to me, but a colleague helped me and walked me through the steps I didn't understand for creating transfers and setting up variables.  Now I use magical every day.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Magical has made it easy to gather data between tabs without needing to flip back and forth.  Once the variables are set for a particular type of webpage, Magical automatically pulls the variables when you need them for emails or notes.

  ### 30. Magical saves me hours each week

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anjan B. | Student, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

Magical is super helpful when it comes to speeding up repetitive tasks that I often find myself doing. Whenever there's a set workflow that involves sending out messages, writing emails, etc — Magical's shortcuts save me time.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

At times, I forget that I have specific shortcuts and it's impossible to type out certain items. For example, I usually set -w as a shortcut to my personal website, but when I find myself trying to type this out in different situations, its hard. I usually realize pretty soon what's going on and disable the shortcut though.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Magical is solving my issue of online productivity. It helps me speed up repetitive tasks like cold-emailing contacts and/or sending out messages on LinkedIn/Twitter etc.

  ### 31. Has saved me hours of clinical documentation time!!!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brittany H. | Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

That I can make shortcuts to complete clinical documentation.I recommend this to all my co-workers and it has saved us all time doing notes for clients. Helps with assessments too!

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

That I do not know all of the tricks. I wish I could set up a call with someone to show me what I am missing; that would be absolutely amazing. There is nothing I don't like, it is great!

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I do collaborative documentation when in sessions with clients. So being able to just type in a short cut work for the entire sentence I am trying to type helps me to focus more on what the client is saying instead of thinking about what I am typing.

**What do you like best about Magical?**

Magical has been a fantastic tool for me to reduce the amount of time I spend typing repetitive, common information. With some additional training and development, it’s easy to customize the way that you work with it by adding filters and shortcuts, creating lists, and more. The best feature is something called “text-to-keyboard” which allows you to type out an entire sentence in an email message or document and then have it instantly converted into a keyboard shortcut. This means you no longer have to memorize or type clumsy abbreviations that represent words or phrases that are easy to forget.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

I dislike the complexity of the programme. It does have a lot of potentials, but the manual is too complicated for me to quickly learn how to use it. More tutorials would help the use case.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making daily tasks a fraction of the time. The benefits are quite clear in the sense that it saves a lot of time and a clear systematic message can be sent multiple times.

**Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2023

As I've already said, I think I haven't tested all the features yet. Might be something to dislike there. However, don't think I have any problems at all with the tools I operate.

It's availability and quick reference regardless of where I am with my projects.

It and I don't have enough communication data to have an opinion, but I can see how refined the application can be and the potential it has to help.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nothing specific sets it apart from many other applications in fulfilling my needs, but its setup and accessibility are what I like most. Text tablets are clutch. Super easy to set up Implementation is primarily straightforward, seamless easily accessible.

  ### 38. Love the tool, saves the time and effort!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I love the side menu of the chrome extension, just need to add a search option
it is easy and customizable 
My replies to customers are structured, with links added!  and fast, I am known as a fast worker - and it is 100% bc of your tool - typing the same msg again and again would kill me and I'd work slower just bc I'd hate it.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

Sometimes I might forget the combination I used or need to change something and searching the correct combination might take time, it would be super helpful to be able to search comfortably for the combo
sometimes I wish I could get a list (like excel) combo - text so I could structure them, as with time it gets out of hand, and I remember some and don't use others and then I have a few similar. 
grouping would be comfortable as well (like tags, but I'd look for a better option, like tabs for example (or buttons)

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work as customer service specialist, so I answer a lot of similar or identical questions. Having ready to use answers is crucial and I only need to customise some of it. 
With help of your tool I also make sure that all the polite and nice things are said to the customer (I might forget if I focus too much on the issue at hand) - so it definitely raises the quality of my work!

  ### 39. Increased Efficiency and Reduced Headaches

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I love the ability to quickly type the things I'd have to copy/paste routinely. I primarily use it in Google Groups to add email templates instead of copying them from GMail each time. being able to type 3-4 characters instead of an entire email is a major time (and headache) saver.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

The variables haven't been useful for me yet. I want them to pull certain data from email subject lines to use in my email responses, but magical doesn't pick that up as a variable option. I'd also love it if one of the variables could be that day's date.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main problem it's solving is the lack of email templates in google groups. I use magical in place of copy/pasting from a canned email list and it has saved me so much time and effort.

  ### 40. Easy to use, more robust than I imagined!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Avi C. | Customer Success Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2023

**What do you like best about Magical?**

It was easy to get set up with Magical, and I love how easy it is to create new shortcuts on the fly with the browser extension. Even short phrases that I type all the time are now just a couple clicks. I know that I could get even more out of it if I wanted to, especially with the Variables feature. I also appreciated how responsive and helpful Magical support was when I emailed them!

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

I haven't encountered any issues with Magical :)

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Saving me a lot of time and grumbles just by reducing how many times I have to type the same phrases. Emails go a lot quicker when my introduction, sign off, and even some of the instructions I often send are just a few clicks.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Magical?**

I love that Magical has the ability to pull data points from other pages as Variables! This has been a game changer, shaving tons of time off of my workflow as a quickly make notes about accounts and generate information.

**What do you dislike about Magical?**

I wish that when you shared templates with coworkers that the mapping for the variables would also attach. I understand that might not be possible, but we are all pulling the data from the same place and it would save us a ton of time at the set up.

**What problems is Magical solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Magical gives the gift of time and efficiency. It has allowed me to get my work done more precisely in shorter pockets of time. It has also given my teammates and I similar structures for notes on accounts so it has allowed us to easily pick up tasks for each other.
