## Review summary

Users praise CodeBoard Keyboard for Coding for its desktop-like feel and customizable keys, especially for coding workflows. However, recurring issues include bottom-bar navigation overlay blocking the bottom row on many devices, limited language/layout support (no UK layout, no accents), and stability problems on some devices (crashes with clipboard shortcut, Pixel 9 Pro Fold). Fixing insets handling and layout compatibility would significantly improve the review sentiment.

### Pros

- Desktop-like feel with smooth typing
- Customizable keys to fit frequently used symbols
- Good for coding workflows (works with GitHub/online coding environments)

### Cons

- Bottom navigation bar overlays bottom row and blocks keys due to system navigation, not respecting window insets across devices
- Language/keyboard layout limitations (no UK layout, no accents)
- Stability/compatibility issues on certain devices (crashes with clipboard shortcut; Pixel 9 Pro Fold)
