Very useful app.
I never write reviews, but this app has fulfilled a very niche need of mine that I've been wanting for over 2 years and I just now found it. I've built a keyboard for typing English phonetically in the Cyrillic script, something I do for laughs with friends. I have my own orthography and different letters I use so having it all in 1 keyboard is extremely useful. The app is very easy to use, I was able to have my ideal keyboard in under a few minutes and I've never used the app before. Thank you for making this, it seems to be the only app of its kind.

Just what I wanted
I found this from Reddit and I’m absolutely in love. I like the idea of ð and þ in the modern day English alphabet and this makes it possible without icelandic spell corrections.
An idea for long press keys
I really like your keyboard. The idea i have is to have two keys in the gray header that allows the user to see how the keys are programmed for shift & unshift.
Thanks agianlinefor your app.

Pretty cool
Using this app to replicate my very custom 48 key ortholinear layout. Works pretty well.
Would like to see
- Hold for layer switch (and revert on release)
- Auto switch back to base layer when hitting a key (ie. space bar)
- Ability to add keys like Tab and Escape (not sure if possible via apple APIs).

Fantastic app
Installed this because I wanted a way to use the Dvorak left-hand keyboard layout on my phone, if I was going to switch to it on my computer. I've been able to recreate it pretty well, but the app is so enormously flexible I've been able to fit in a ton of special characters over my three panes (fractions and other maths-y ones, the Esperanto accented characters, etc.). If you have any kind of quirky desires for your iOS keyboard, this is the app for you.
It's worth noting that the keyboards don't have the same "smart" features as the mainstream ones: no swipe-to-type, autocorrect or predictive text, for example. But honestly, I'm finding that I don't miss these features as much as I thought I would; it's actually really refreshing not to have to do battle with autocorrect every time I use a proper name it doesn't know, or really want to start a line with a lowercase letter.
Overall, the app does exactly what it sets out to do, and does it well. I'm really impressed.

Doesn’t work with Apple Hardware iPad Keyboard
Doesn’t work with Apple’s own hardware keyboard; such as Apple folio keyboard. This was the only app that lets you build an accessible keyboard like Dvorak left hand (shame on Apple as that’s standard in MacOS and Windows), but difficult to use without external keyboard support
Thank you
Thank you for developing this app. I am able to type on iPad with the dvorak left-handed keyboard. I am wondering if this can work with an add on iPad keyboard. Thanks again!
Really cool app
Keybuild is great. It took me a while to figure out, but now I’ve got a great keyboard. I’m really looking forward to future updates. Worth every penny!
Almost Exact
This is what I was specifically looking for but not quite.
Areas to improve:
Alternate way to symbols (found it)
word recommendations/spell checker
Backspace cant go fast
Areas perfect:
Can change each key to almost any unicode character
Multiple keyboards supported
