User Reviews

Users praise MessagEase for fast, accurate typing and a feature-rich, all-in-one keyboard, with long-term loyalty and an ad-free, free iOS experience. However, recurrent iOS compatibility problems, especially resizing to a giant fullscreen after updates, together with perceived lack of maintenance and occasional crashes, dominate the downsides. Some also report app-wide enablement issues. Overall, the concept is highly valued, but ongoing compatibility and maintenance are major pain points.

Pros

Significantly faster and more accurate typing compared to standard QWERTY, especially for long-form text.
Rich, all-in-one keyboard that includes letters, numbers, symbols, and emojis, with support for multiple languages.
Long-standing, loyal user base with many users noting it as essential and highly valuable for mobile typing.
Generally described as free on iOS with no ads and strong user appreciation for the developer's passion and responsiveness.

Cons

Keyboard often becomes massively oversized after iOS updates and cannot be resized, sometimes requiring reinstall to fix.
Perceived lack of ongoing maintenance; compatibility issues with newer iOS versions; many users request open-source or a paid, maintained version.
Stability issues such as crashes, glitches, and input irregularities; swiping/input can be inconsistent at times.
App-wide enablement/availability problems (keyboard not appearing in all apps or requiring full-access prompts)

I love this app, but I have to delete and reinstall every week because the keyboard gets too big and I can’t adjust it back to normal

This issue seems to be fixed with iOS version 26.4 I have been using MessagEase since the days of the Palm Pilots. After a few minutes, becomes as large as the entire screen, making it too big to type on. Delete and reinstall, and the same thing happens.

Please update the keyboard for iOS, every now and then it gets huge and I have to reinstall it. I use this keyboard for at least ten years now. Please update and fix the buggies
