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)

Recent reviews

This board is needing an update. It's running on T9 and it shouldn't be.

Samsung Keyboard has the best UI, but the Urdu/Arabic typing experience needs work. Grouping multiple letters on a single key forces users to long-press constantly, slowing down typing. We need separate, independent keys for each letter like Gboard. Also, please add both standard digits (123) and Arabic numerals (١٢٣) together on the top number row for better flexibility. If these layout issues are fixed, this will be the perfect keyboard! Please improve this.
