User Reviews

Users praise the app as a necessary Igbo keyboard that fills gaps left by Apple’s keyboard and commend Nkyea for addressing Igbo writing. However, frequent compatibility issues across many iPhone models, lack of updates, keyboard registration/visibility problems, missing diacritic/tone features, and intrusive autocorrect are the most-mentioned drawbacks that hinder adoption.
Pros
  • Provides an Igbo keyboard with a complete Igbo alphabet not available on the default Apple keyboard.
  • App is praised as a much-needed tool for writing in Igbo and is often thanked to Nkyea for creating it.
  • Viewed as a great option for native-language writing and appreciated by users who want to write Igbo accurately.
  • Some reviews note that the keyboard has the correct alphabet available, supporting Igbo spelling.
Cons
  • Widespread compatibility and update issues: not working on multiple iPhone models (e.g., 13 Pro Max, 12/12 Pro Max, XR, 7+) and appears poorly maintained with years without updates.
  • Not appearing or being selectable in iPhone keyboard settings; registration/activation problems reported by users.
  • Missing essential diacritic and tone-mark features (no high/low tone marks for N and M; missing diacritics like dots under letters; no predictive text).
  • Autocorrect changes text frequently and there is no clear option to disable it.
