  • No voice option

    Which is the main issue for me on most third party keyboards. Don't mind learning a keyboard but sometimes voice is the better option
  • Intuitive and functional

    I was really surprised by how easy it was to adapt to the new keyboard layout. I feel like spending more time in it will help reach the advertised 70% percent speed gain. To the people who say that you're stuck using it, press the 123 key and then the globe key on the following set of characters. I feel like it's a little slow to switch, and the punctuation is not very intuitive. While it is clear and easy to find symbols, it takes a bit of extra time to find what you need sometimes.

  • Works great. Wish it would stay active

    Works great, obviously its going to be different than what you used in past. Biggest issue for me is that my phone keeps reverting back to the standard keyboard. I wish this one would stay active!
  • Not useful

    This app has an interesting approach, but for me it didn't work. I thought it would be easier to type with this keyboard, but it wasn't. Anything that makes me to re-learn how to type at this point is not helping me save my time. I would have liked if this keyboard resembles of the the QWERTY keyboards.

  • Poor execution of a great idea.

    While the description of the keyboard is 'QWERTY-based,' it is not, as the typical letter positions have been moved. The result is hunting and pecking to find the correct letter, which creates a much slower interaction. Additionally, as another reviewer mentioned, once in the WRIO keyboard, the globe button used to swap between keyboards, is not available.

    I'm left wondering why the developers didn't simply make a QWERTY keyboard with hexagonal buttons. Cleaner and functional.

  • App is great if

    You dont like seeing t number 4 or the letter T in landscape. Im obviously not using lascape right now but its nice to know i have the option of getting rid of those two pesky letter/number
  • Was a good idea but just an idea

    Been using it for a few days and i become less productive. Forget about writing an email. Makes me want toss my phone thats how frustrating tue layout is.
  • Not bad but could be better

    Got this app through Kickstarter because the idea seemed cool. I don't like using the iPhone keyboard and never really found a good swipe keyboard for iOS. So I gave this a go. I love the layout but hate the key arrangements. Basically I like how my thumbs aren't cramped up but I don't enjoy having to relearn where all the letters are. Writing and texting are now verrrry slow and tedious (autocorrect update will definitely help). I'm sure there is science behind why they changed Letter location but I've been typing now for 20 years so I'm quite used to the normal keyboard layout

  • Novel concept with specific utility

    I like the new thinking behind the keyboard layout and think it has potential. However, i have big hands and a 5s so I can't even hold my phone with 2 hands like it suggests. This would probably be great for smaller hands on a phone there size of the 6 or 6 plus. It just didn't work for me.
  • Not sure yet.

    This thing certainly has a steep learning curve to combat years of muscle memory. I don't like how it handles apostrophes, but I think it has potential. Please fix the glitch where it adds a period when you double-space after a question mark or exclamation mark.
