User Reviews

Users appreciate the Write in Syriac app for providing a dedicated Syriac keyboard that is easy to use and offers educational content on the language. Many find it valuable for learning and writing in Syriac. However, users frequently report limitations such as the inability to directly type East Syriac vowels, missing characters, and purchasing issues. Some also express desire for added features like autocorrect and a dictionary, and caution about security permissions. Overall, the app meets its core purpose but could improve functionality and user trust.

Missing certain characters such as the letter 'T' in the Syriac keyboard layout.
Issues with purchasing the full version due to payment errors with Visa and PayPal.

Recent reviews

I purchased the full version of the keyboard. Unfortunately, it is only allowed to print in classic syriac, can not print directly in east syriac. After print in classic syriac, it can be converted to east syriac but the keyboard in classic syriac can not print the vowels of East syriac. It is disappointing.
