App works wonderfully
App does everything it says it does and more but I wish the sga symbols where included
Customizability questions
Does the app support swipe typing, auto corrections? iPad default layout doesn’t seem to support basic extra features like those
Good for custom keyboard layouts
For a while now I've beed designing keyboard layouts with higher efficiency than QWERTY, like TEIOUM, TRHIEO, and more recently, Quartet. I've been trying to find an app that could actually let me use the layouts to test them, but the only apps I found weren't that great or made you pay to use the outside of the app, often with higher prices than the 3.99$USD this costed, so eventually I tried this, and not only was I able to use my keyboard layouts, I was even able to link between various keyboards, for symbols, etc, add things like emojis, and even add keys which would type multiple keys, which would have saved me thousands of keystrokes if I had been using them in the past, since I often do a lot of manual database management.
Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who needs a truly custom keyboard in one way or another. 10/10.

Saved my life
I can't BELIEVE I went so long not knowing this app exists. I'm a language nerd, and it's always driven me crazy that almost none of the iOS keyboards for various languages have dedicated keys for diacritic marks (the way the German keyboard has keys for umlauts), so I made a modified version of the Portuguese keyboard that has keys for the tilde, circumflex, and acute accents, using Unicode combination characters that I copied from Wikipedia. I was worried it would be a huge headache, or that the app wouldn't even support extended Unicode, but it only took me like 15 minutes.
The interface is so simple, and incredibly easy to use considering how flexible it is; my use for it has been pretty straightforward so far, but it really feels like it offers a staggering amount of customizability without having to navigate a labrynth of submenus. It did crash once the first time I converted a text stack into a key stack, but it autosaved my changes, and that was the only real glitch I encountered. I'm no app developer, but this seems like a masterpiece of GUI design compared to the loads of other apps that manage to overcomplicate simple tasks or overlook obvious use-cases. Just an amazing app, and absolutely worth the cup-of-coffee price.

Pretty good
Would like to be able to move or change all the other keys such as “upper case, delete, return, 123, globe,” etc… if you can idk how to. Otherwise pretty good app
Works, but I don’t use it at all …
… because this does not allow slide-to-type
Alright. Hope for improvement
Great concept, pretty well executed.
Starts to run slow on less powerful devices when configuring more complicated layouts.
Also, the long-press option does not include any modifiers. I would like to Tap letter to type, but Hold a letter key to make it hold shift or Ctrl or Cmd.
Add this feature, and I can take the sluggish configuration.

Absolutely worth it.
Need I say more? This app is really convenient.
Being able to customize your keyboard is great, and it's absolutely worth the cost.
I'm not being paid to say this, I'm just a fan.

Very good app overall
This app has a lot of very nice features and works seamlessly with other standard iOS keyboards. Very few bugs and glitches, and it rarely crashes. And when it does crash it never forgets my completed work or anything like that which is very nice.
I use this as a hobby linguist trying to make a better alphabet for English spelling, and I’m able to upload almost every Unicode character into the app and it always works perfectly with the more unique characters.
One major feedback I would suggest is haptic feedback, not only for typing but also for long-press buttons, like how Apple does if you want to add diacritics to a letter like á or something. When using this app I never feel like I know if I’ve pressed the button long enough to activate the new letter (and I usually haven’t).
But other than that, as the title says this is a very good app overall and has filled a useful niche interest of mine. It’s the only app I found that could fill my needs and it runs extremely well, so thanks!

Best fully customizable keyboard on the app store yet.
This app is exactly what I was looking for. I built a three-layered ortholinear keyboard with a custom layout with it.
Some of my suggestions are:
→ add an action to delete a whole word
→ add the ability to colorize buttons
→ support multiple actions in a menu when long pressed, like gboard
The intertace is laggy and sometimes crashes, but nonetheless it exceeds my expectations.
