User Reviews

The Click Wheel Keyboard is a nostalgic, novelty keyboard that convincingly mimics the iPod s click wheel, which many reviews praise as fun and visually distinctive. Users enjoy its retro vibe and see strong conceptual potential. However, the app is widely reported as buggy and frequently non-functional, with crashes, long delays, and unreliable wheel navigation. Some users must enable Full Access and still experience little result, raising privacy concerns. Feature gaps and varying performance across iOS versions add to usability issues. It shows promise but needs substantial polish and compatibility.

I enabled the keyboard and gave it full access, as directed. It does not seem to do anything. I could not get anything to happen. Just a picture of a click wheel on the screen. One star because I could not rate it a zero.
