User Reviews

Reviews are mixed: many users praise Samsung Smart Keyboard as user-friendly with a generally good typing experience. However, a notable subset report it does not work, won't start, or breaks with browsers and apps. Privacy is a major concern, citing location access, nearby devices, notifications, and potential data sharing. Users also cite UI drawbacks like tiny keys and intrusive flow-writing popups that are hard to disable. Some see it as Samsung-centric and miss removed features.
Pros
  • User-friendly interface
  • Good typing experience
  • Overall positive performance in multiple reviews
Cons
  • Not working / won't start (frequent issues)
  • Privacy concerns (location access, data collection/sharing)
  • Compatibility issues with browsers/apps (Autocorrect failures in Chrome/major apps; browser support problems)
  • UI/UX drawbacks (small keys and flow-writing popups / cannot disable annoyances)
