## Review summary

Reviews praise Symbol Keyboard-Character Pad for its vast symbol catalog, flexible organization, and being free with a non-intrusive keyboard extension. However, users frequently complain about intrusive ads, crashes or unusable states after updates, weak search/navigation, and gaps in symbol coverage (missing common symbols). The app’s organization can feel cluttered, and many want a faster way to locate specific characters.

### Pros

- Huge variety of Unicode symbols and the ability to enable only desired categories on the keyboard.
- Free to use with no mandatory subscription and not requiring full device access.
- Well-organized layout with customizable categories and a 'frequently used' / favorites feature.
- Keyboard extension that lets you type symbols directly in apps without leaving the keyboard.

### Cons

- Aggressive advertising: full-screen ads on launch and occasionally intrusive ads in-app (including non-English language ads).
- Crashes or unusable state after updates or when enabling the keyboard extension.
- Weak search/navigation: searching often filters categories or requires scrolling; finding specific symbols is hard.
- Incomplete Unicode coverage: missing common symbols (e.g., gender symbols) and other symbol varieties.
- Overly cluttered categories and scrolling; users want all symbols visible or preset organization.
