User Reviews: Russian Phonetic Keyboard

Top reviews

  • Such an improvement

    What a relief to have a Russian phonetic keyboard back since apple took the native one away back in 2009.
  • Great, but need a phonetic keyboard to work with Bluetooth.

    I am thankful to have this app since it is better than what I had before (no phonetic keyboard on the Ipad), but it doesn't seem to work with my Bluetooth keyboard. So I still do not have a way to type on the Ipad very easily using phonetic letters.
  • Great, but one suggestion

    This app is an absolute lifesaver. It makes typing in Russian convenient and simple. One suggestion though: when I'm righting down new words, I like to mark where the accent lies in the word, so if you could add a setting to maybe make the apostrophe switch to an acute combining accent character that can be typed after the vowels to add the accent. Alternately, if you could do what the Latin character keyboards do and let you hold down on the vowels to get an accented version (which would really be the vowel followed by the combining acute accent).

    Thanks so much and great job with the app!!
  • Autocorrect

    Please add Russian dictionary for autocorrect. Also would be nice if the keyboard had all of the things the standard keyboard has on landscape mode
  • Great! But please add autocorrect!

    Perfect app for those who are used to the qwerty keyboard and want to type in Russian quickly. Integrates with the iPhone keyboard so there is no need to open a separate app. Finally, it's not frustrating to type in Russian! But please please add autocorrect in your next update! Or at least a dictionary and recognition of misspelled words! That would make it 6 stars for me. But in any case, totally worth it!
  • Thank you!

    Saw your comment with link on macrumors. Keyboard works great so far. Hate apple for not including such a minor option in their iOS keyboards after so many years.
  • Отлично!

    If you're learning Russian, this app is your new best friend. Here's to many a future update🍻!
  • Keep disappearing

    I used to typing Russian text on my computer with phonetic keyboard and was looking for the same to install on my phone.. It was simply not available up until this app.. I was excited until I used it for a day.. It simply not functional..
  • Worked fine for me

    Used it with different applications notes, mail, Facebook - worked pretty well. Sometimes was seeing an issue with not scrolling up the screen, so the top part becomes invisible.
  • Crashes!

    After a few minutes of using it, the keyboard just disappears, forcing me to either quit whatever app I'm using or worse-case scenario, restart the phone.
    Also, when using this keyboard instead of standard one, spell check for Russian no longer works.
