User Reviews

Overall, users praise the nostalgia, larger keys, one‑handed use, good word prediction, and solid developer support. Recurring drawbacks include device compatibility/refund friction, inconsistent dictionary predictions, UI/feature gaps (numbers, haptics, layout options), and a learning curve that can feel slower than a standard keyboard for some. The app is a loved, game‑changing alternative for many, but buyers should be aware of potential compatibility and feature gaps.

Pros

Significantly reduces fat fingering with larger keys and the familiar T9 style, making one‑handed typing easier.
Highly configurable: resizable keyboard, easy mode switches between tap, swipe, and manual modes; customizable word lists and suggestion order.
Nostalgic, fast‑feeling typing experience that many users enjoy over standard keyboards.
Strong word prediction/autocorrect with memory of learned words, keeping typos to a minimum.
Active developer support, clear tutorials, and good value for the price.

Cons

Compatibility and refund issues: some devices are incompatible or refunds are difficult, and upfront disclosure is lacking in some cases.
Inconsistent dictionary/prediction and autocomplete; occasional misspellings or incorrect word choices.
UI/layout gaps and feature gaps: cannot freely change layouts, no numbers shown on keys, lack of haptics, and missing features like stickers.
Learning curve and performance: can feel slower than a full keyboard for longer typing, with occasional stability issues (e.g., app cuts out).
Aesthetics/visuals not appealing to some users (layout looks odd or not pretty on certain backgrounds).

Recent reviews

Wow, very convenient 5/5, however, emoji search could improve the comfort. When resizing the keyboard, word suggestions may falsely pin. In all-language mode, pressing backspace changes the layout priority — is it possible to lock one specific layout? Thanks.

Exactly the keyboard I was looking for on iOS. Everything works as one would expect, word predictions are good, and are easily edited or removed. It's got great little modern touches, like swiping in punctuation or emojis, and the swipe gestures to navigate or delete words. There are just a couple little bumps that, if ironed out, would make this app perfect. First I'd love to see an emoji search; as it stands you have to manually look through the huge list to find the one you want if it's not already on your most-used list. Second it would be great if the punctuation key could be used in making contracted words; currently it's a bit annoying to have situations like "if", "he", and "I'd" all use the same keystrokes. This could solved if contractions required pressing the punctuation key in place of the apostrophe when typing out the word. (I'm probably in the minority on this though, so even just a setting to do so would be great!) All in all, I love this app, and would love to see a just a another update or two to iron out some little things!
