What kind of crap is this? Cant type the word "mine's"

Is there something wrong with Express? I just started using it for an Instagram story. I'm trying to type "Mine's bigger" either as words or a hashtag (#Mine'sbigger)

No matter what I try it will just not let me do it. Is there some limit on characters in Express? And it won't use a proper apostrophe.

I think I'd be better off just doing it in InDesign and exporting to a PNG. This is ridiculous that I even have to ask something like this. When you dumb down a product so much that someone with 30 years of graphic design experience can't figure it out... it's like PowerPoint... not impressed.

++ADDING TO THE TOPIC

 

In CC Express I had no problems either, and I'm on an Android mobile device.

Hi @rcoda1, I can relate to your frustration when a simple task requires much effort. But everything went smoothly when I tried to reproduce it on my end.

Have you tried working in an incognito/private mode or on a different browser? You may also try after clearing the cache/cookies of your browser.

 

This is how it looks on my end; I even used the same font as shown in the image you shared

    I am a first time user. There is no cache/cookies. I am NOT a fan of broswer based anything. I prefer to have the tool on my Mac.

    I'll just stick with REAL design tools, like INDD/AI/PSD and only use Express for scheduling. And speaking of that, I assume you CANNOT do anything like the "live" "stickers" for web links or hashtags on Instragram... you have to leave room for them and put them in while in Instagram, right? That's kind of stupid to leave that out. Totally NOT impressed with Express and all the hype around it. The one guy on Adobe Max who was showcasing it... if he said "aspect ratio" one more time I was going to shoot myself. (trademakr of people who really don't know what they are talking about). He didn't come across as any type of expert, in my opinion.
