Needs some updates

They need a line for the dragging function and there needs to be a something to show what key you're actually pressing. I type slowly with HERO because I'm never 100% sure what keystrokes I'm making

Don't bother

I saw this keyboard was only a dollar as I type on my qwerty keyboard I realized i was just looking for something new, but the hero was not what I wanted. It's not responsive and it tries to be akin to swipe but fails miserably. I only gave two stars instead of one because I like the way it looks

Don't download!!!

The keyboard is nowhere near the quality of the screenshots.
The swipe predictions don't work at all.
If you think you're getting something like swipe, you're WRONG!

Good idea but

it's good but needs some tweaking

Rudimentary but has potential

This app is new so it has shortcomings, understandably.

The swipe function needs too much precision since it counts every letter you go over. There is no predictive text or spellcheck that allows me to click the word and correct it easily if it was misspelled - yet. And it's proving to take some time learning the keyboard. Also, the apostrophe button takes too long to pop up.

I'm looking for an app I can use to quickly text but only requires one hand and limited need to actually look at the screen. Back with T9, I could text without ever looking at the phone and reasonably quickly, not yet the case with this app.

Privacy and security note

Regarding any concerns about the privacy and security of the "Full Access" setting, Apple pops the same standard alert when Full Access is turned on for ANY custom keyboard. HERO's privacy policy clearly says they don't record keystrokes, but if you're still worried, HERO works with Full Access turned off, except the theme changes won't work.

Fantastic keyboard

Incredibly useful once you grow accustomed to it. What a mobile keyboard should've been from the beginning!
