Leave a Review Typewise Offline Keyboard
Garbage
To be avoided. Utterly clunky in design. Unlike every other keyboard the user can't change keyboards without deleting the app. It's shape also does not with other apps which "cover " part of the keyboard.Ericg51
Not That Great
It takes a bit of time to get used to this keyboard. Punctuations, uppercase letter and pretty much anything other than lowercase letters is difficult to type.
Another major issue is that this keyboard does not allow switching *away* from it!!! Once you switch to it, you're stuck. I couldn't find a way to switch away. I'm pretty sure this is against the App Store policies and somehow Apple missed it. Just for this alone, I gave it one star. You can't hide or not implement the globe button for switching away.Show lesswraithequestrain
Easier than I thought to adjust
Pretty cool...I might just stick with it a bit to see how it goes. Im sure it will get better with auto-correct. I suggest you slow down your typing a bit until your fingers and eyes adjust...you pick up pretty quick and it is worth the effort.
Bummer no 3D touch mouse cursor tho...doubt apple will let them add that...
For those wondering how to get back to standard keyboard- from the special keyboard (123) click the globe icon....Show lessChrisD FL
Neat idea
This keyboard is a neat idea but could not replace my daily keyboard (iOS standard). Due to iOS' autocorrect and my familiarity with the keyboard, I can type much quicker and much more accurately with it, even when not looking at the screen. Trying the WRIO keyboard was frustrating as the letters were not in the same place as a standard keyboard. The "q" is where the "a" was supposed to be, and I found myself constantly searching for characters. I'm sure it will strike a chord with some, but not me. I don't want to have to re-teach myself how to type.Show lessRenoIte25
Fails on demo
Already during the setup demo I encoutered 3 problems of things that did not work.
Also the @ sign is to hard to reach. Having to switch keyboards every time I want to enter an email address is annoying.Scooter-IT Debit
Great Keyboard
But there's a learning curve. Don't expect to text as fast as you used to right out of the gate.Anangeon
Great keyboard. Give it time
This is one of my favorite keyboards for typing a lot of information. The layout will seem awkard at first, but give it time.spdaly
Shows promise
Learning a new keyboard layout, while similar to QWERTY, still has a decent learning curve. This app is no exception but is a lot easier than others I've tried. The auto-correct update needs to be pushed out ASAP. I would say releasing a keyboard with a different layout and no auto-correct is a bad idea. Having to correct the many errors that will occur will slowdown new users and may frustrate them to the point of quitting. Looking forward to the next update.Show lessWJS_11
Getting there
I read a review of this app and decided to give it a try. I'm a chronic fat-fingerer. The tutorial was mostly fine and I like the way the keyboard is layed out and in fact, I believe for typing it's probably a better alternative to QWERTY, but two things stood out that are kind of linked: First, I couldn't figure out how to revert back to QWERTY once the WRIO keyboard was activated. Maybe I just missed it, but I swear, I thought I was trapped. Why would I need to do that you ask? Well, reason number two is that there doesn't appear to be any access to voice texting through WRIO, which I use on the go a lot. So I couldn't get out of WRIO and back to QWERTY to access voice texting.
The app has promise, but still more work to do. If I just "missed" how to do this (there is no manual or help feature), please feel free to post how to do it.Show lessPaddy O'Hanrahan
Developer Response
Hi Paddy, thanks for your feedback. With V1.3 the keyboard is much improved. You can change the keyboard by tapping the globe key, accessible on the numbers layout. We’re also working on a much better tutorial, as you suggest. Cheers, your WRIO teamInnovative
This truly is a unique keyboard. I may not be using it the rihgt way, as i cannot seem to get autocorrect working. On you get past the learning curve of the keyboard itself, it improves typing speed.yankeesfan818
