User Reviews

Baybayin Keyboard is praised as a clever, well-executed iOS keyboard that makes Baybayin accessible and educational. Users like easy setup, smooth typing, and connection to Filipino heritage. However, recurring issues center on RA/Da glyph rendering causing wrong characters or boxes, incomplete key support, and occasional crashes or inability to launch on older devices. A few users request improvements for kudlits. Overall it’s valuable for learning Baybayin, but reliability varies across devices.

Pros

Easy installation and seamless integration with iOS keyboards.
Lets you type Baybayin on iPhone; intuitive and fast for learning and everyday use.
Educational and culturally meaningful; helps learn to read Baybayin and connect with Filipino roots.
Well-regarded and valuable; many users call it a great app and worth the price.

Cons

RA/Da glyph rendering and consistency issues (RA outputs wrong glyph or appears as a box/question mark; Da and Ra confusion).
Some keys do not type correctly or are missing (not all keys produce correct characters).
Stability problems: the app crashes or fails to open on certain devices.
