  • Does not work

    Tried on my iPad, still getting standard Russian keyboard layout and not phonetic.
  • Try something else.

    This app does not work at all. A total waste of $.99 How did Apple let this get through? Does not provide a phonetic keyboard at all.
  • Loved it for my iPad only

    Please help me make this work on my iPhone. It is a wonderful tool for me to learn russian and look up works correctly.
  • Ура заработало!!!!

    Works great. Thanks. Perfect app.
  • Useless

    Not compatible with physical keyboards (e.g. Apple Smart Keyboard). Should have read earlier reviews. Don't see any reason to use it by itself as I am happy with the standard Russian on-screen keyboard otherwise.

    Developer Response

    Unfortunately, iOS doesn't allow keyboard developers to access the hardware keyboard. I wish I could add this feature too, but for the time being it's impossible. Sorry!
  • Finally there is a phonetic Russian keyboard that works!

    This keyboard is fantastic - now I can type in Russian 10x faster! I no longer have to suffer looking for the right Russian letter on a standard iOS-provided Cyrillic "Йцукен" layout.

    Thank you! Well worth the money!!
  • Doesn't work with keyboard

    Doesn't work with Smart Keyboard - waste of money.

    Developer Response

    Sorry! Apple currently doesn't allow keyboard developers to access the hardware keyboard. I really want to add this feature, but for the time being it's not possible for me to do.
  • Very nice keyboard!

    This is an extremely needed keyboard for all who uses cyrillic input and also english one. Saves a lot of time and very good app itself. I only wish please add Mongolian cyrillic support as it uses two characters missing in standard cyrillic! Thanks a lot!
  • I'm so happy this exists now

    Update:
    With the new iPhone update, this keyboard has a lot of trouble opening. I used this keyboard all the time, and it's really difficult to have it suddenly stop working. I'm considering another keyboard that's more consistent.

    Old post:
    I'm a Russian major, and I have been looking for a Russian phonetic keyboard, but there was never one for the iPhone. The one on my Mac works great. I just wish this one had spelling correction or word suggestion. It's a great work in progress, though!
