## Review summary

Overall, users laud FUTO Keyboard for its privacy focus, open-source nature, and solid offline performance with a sleek UI. However, multiple reviews converge on key drawbacks: swipe/gesture typing and word prediction need major improvement; it’s missing common features and symbols (and caps lock); language support is incomplete (requested additions like Chinese, Te Reo Maori, macrons); some report compatibility issues (Chrome OS, certain banking apps) and a few UI/bugs (cursor glitches, emoji button placement).
