User Reviews

Pros: strong customization, broad symbol library (often available for free), helpful superscript/subscript features, low-cost upgrade, easy-to-use interface. Cons: reliability and stability issues, mandatory Full Access privacy concerns, upgrade/restoration problems, gaps in symbol coverage (missing common Greek letters), and minimal maintenance with outdated updates. Overall, it’s valuable for math/science typing when it works, but reliability and symbol gaps limit its appeal.

Highly customizable keyboard tailored for math and science work
Large library of math/science symbols, with many available for free
Useful input features like superscript and subscript support
Low-cost upgrade to unlock the full set of features (around $0.99)
Simple, straightforward interface that’s practical for math notation

Cons

Frequent stability and reliability issues (crashes when selecting the keyboard; inconsistent performance)
Requires Full Access to the device, raising privacy concerns and skepticism from some users
Upgrade/restore problems (purchases not applying; restore link not functioning) with limited support
Missing or incomplete symbols and notation gaps (missing common symbols like theta, mu, rho; limited Greek letters and subscripts/superscripts)
Lack of ongoing maintenance (last update years ago; potential compatibility issues with current iOS)

Recent reviews

This apps requires you to pay to customize your keyboard. The unpaid version gives you an extremely limited set of options. If you're going to use mathematical/scientific keyboards, use Symbol Keyboards. The developer has a name with Chinese characters – that app will give you access to thousands of characters for free. If you have installed this app, PLEASE rate it one star like me so we can lower this app's rating to 2.9 stars. Do everything to shadowban this app from appearing in the App Store's search results. If you're writing a review, please tell other people about BETTER ALTERNATIVES.
