User reviews

Typewise Custom Keyboard offers a novel hexagonal layout with gesture shortcuts that users find faster and fun after getting used to it. Its privacy focus without AI prediction is appreciated. However, many users report frequent auto-correct errors, stability issues like freezing or keyboard crashes, and limited customization options. Missing features such as talk to text, glide typing, and numeric keys on the main keyboard reduce its appeal. Recent updates changed character input methods, causing frustration. Overall, it has innovative concepts but suffers from bugs and usability drawbacks affecting consistent experience.

Pros

Unique hexagonal keyboard layout feels easier to type on compared to traditional keyboards.
Gesture-based shortcuts like swipe up to capitalize and swipe to delete enhance typing experience.
Strong focus on privacy, avoiding predictive text and AI-based suggestions appeals to privacy-conscious users.
Customization options, while limited, provide some alternative layouts and themes.
Faster typing possible after an adjustment period and learning curve due to key placement.

Cons

Auto-correction is frequently inaccurate, changing correct words to incorrect ones.
Keyboard bugs cause freezing, unresponsiveness, or keyboard freezing the phone requiring restarts.
Limited customization: inability to resize or reposition keys, or fully customize key functions frustrates users.
Lack of basic features like talk to text, glide typing, and numbers on main keyboard reduces usability.
Mixed experiences with special character input and layout changes in recent updates leading to usability issues.

Update: The problem was fixed, now 5/5. Using a traditional phone keyboard seems like using a typewriter now. Swipe to backspace, not a giant spacebar wasting space, easy capitalization and accents for spanish (Áñó?¿). I would like to revert to 3.0. 4.0 has had many problems, much more difficult to swipe up for upercase on the top row. For a example i will attempt to type 10 upercase i's in a row:. I I. Ii .the i is no where near space or period, why does it do that?

Have had this keyboard for a while now and grew to really enjoy it. After the last couple updates it's basically unusable now. The keyboard will freeze and stay on screen when it's not supposed to, or just won't open at all. It will be fine for a few uses and then basically brick my phone until I restart it. A real shame because going back to my old keyboard feels awful.
