## Review summary

Most reviews report reliability and usability issues on Apple Watch. The top cons are frequent crashes/black screens, non-functional swipe typing, and a confusing setup. Input often feels inaccurate and the small keyboard complicates typing, making the process slow. Several users label the app as not worth the price and seek refunds. A minority note that the standard keyboard can work reasonably well and iMessages can function with proper configuration, but these positives are far less common than the reported issues.

### Pros

- Some users report the standard keyboard works reasonably well and autocorrect/prediction can be effective in certain scenarios.
- The app provides a keyboard option for typing on the Apple Watch, which is what some users were seeking.
- A few reviewers note iMessages compatibility when configured properly.

### Cons

- App frequently fails to run, with crashes or black screen on startup and unresponsive behavior.
- Swipe-to-text/slide typing feature is non-functional or buggy for many users.
- Initial setup is confusing or AWKward, with unclear instructions and a multi-step workflow.
- Input accuracy is poor for many users, with a small keyboard leading to mis-typed words and errors.
- Perceived low value for money, with multiple users expressing they want refunds or feel it isn’t worth the price.
