Eileen, yes, all apps run in a sandbox meaning they're pretty much isolated from the rest of the phone except in cases where they use very specific APIs. For example, apps are sometimes allowed, at a user's request, to open files from other apps. Usually, this is actually a good thing, because it means that you can pretty much try whatever you want on iOS without worrying about system instability. But I agree, in cases like this, it's in fact a detriment rather than a benefit.
I imagine what you'd have to do is type the text into this app, then copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it elsewhere. Or, the developers might allow you to compose Email or text messages with the text pre-filled. This is basically the extent of what the app would be able to do and I don't think Apple will budge on this: it's just a part of their operating system.
