Review summary

Traditional T9 is praised for its simplicity, effectiveness, and convenience for one-handed typing on phones with physical keypads. Users value its open source nature and support for multiple languages, enhancing their typing experience. However, there are recurring requests for UI enhancements like emoji support, better button separation, and more customization options such as disabling auto capitalization. The app lacks support for certain languages and clear instructions, making it difficult for some users to switch languages or utilize all features fully. Overall, it's seen as a strong T9 keyboard choice with room for improvements.

Pros

Easy and convenient for one-handed typing, especially with physical keypads on phones like CAT S22 flip and QIN F22 Pro.
Supports multiple languages and dictionaries, beneficial for multilingual users.
Simple, clean interface with no ads, appreciated by users.
Effective as a T9 keyboard replacement that improves typing speed for users accustomed to T9.
Open source nature of the app is valued by users.

Cons

Lack of UI improvements such as emoji support on physical keypads and better button separation.
Limited customizability, including inability to disable auto capitalization fully and no option for just ABC keyboard mode.
Missing language support for some requested languages like Persian (Farsi), Thai, Mandarin, Japanese, and Tifinagh.
Absence of instructions or help, leading to difficulty in usage and language switching.
Some users find UI elements poor, e.g., no shift or special characters buttons and unclear button layout.

2026-07-05	Fa*****	I dont know what changed in the update. in normal english, you can press key and choose A,B,C and etc. every thing in alphabetic order. but in persian language, its in reverse. when you press a key to choose, it starts from the last alphabet of the key. it just changes the whole thing. it just makes the app unusable to me.

2026-06-08	Lu*****	Nice t9 keyboard, very reactive and looks clear, however there are three main deal breakers. - no typo correction, if you tap a neighbouring button or miss one letter, the whole word is gone, with no way to show the closest match. - clunky apostrophe / symbols management, words like I'm, can't, I've, need to be written with an extra tap on the symbol button, whereas many other keyboards just let you press only the letters and add the symbols automatically. - subscription model.

2026-06-08	Ar*****	I like this app on my Duoqin F22 because I am now able to type comfortably in my language without having to force myself to text in straight English. I also subscribed. However, I just want to point out that there seems to be a delay in the input or unresponsiveness of the keys when I type. I have to press the keys several times for the letters to appear or to select the correct letters. I hope this will be fixed for a much smoother typing experience.
