No Keyboard
Cannot add the third party keyboard making this useless.
Works well, good layout, no technical problems
Doesn’t work very well as an everyday keyboard—the layout’s just too awkward—but it’s extremely convenient and works well any time I need to use IPA. Most of the character positions are quite logical to me and are usually in the first or second place I look. (I don’t use it frequently enough to have them all memorized.)
I also have never experienced crashes or technical problems with it, which is very nice.
Definitely recommended from me!

Crashes when swiping
Newest iOS system. The keyboard crashes each time I attempt to swipe to reach a character like the velar nasal or uvular nasal. If I only need to swipe across one character, like to get the velar nasal, there is a chance it could output it after briefly crashing and resuming. But if the character is any further, it looks like the keyboard would just instantly crash, switch back to the system default keyboard, and output nothing. Could this maybe be fixed soon?

Great!
Completely great! Works flawlessly. A go to app when I need to write some IPA enscriptions.
Unusable
I just bought this as it would have been really handy for my job. But while long-pressing on keys does show an array of symbols associated with them, sliding across the array causes it to disappear and nothing is typed. Very frustrating, and a waste of money
Response from developer
Hello, Please, upgrade iOS to 11.2. The newest version of the operating system fixes the issue. Let me know if you encounter any other issues. Sorry for the inconvenience but they were beyond my control.
Neat solution for whoever needs to write IPA symbols
Nothing fancy, but it does what it says it does. Super useful especially if you instruct phonetics or related disciplines, and use your iPad to make, let's say, a ppt material. Has no problem with inputting IPA symbols in a way that, at least for me, is consistent with my intuition. Also has a friendly customer service.

Hello, I am sorry you are having issues with the keyboard. I would be grateful if you could clarify what is exactly not working in the app so that we can reproduce and fix the issue.
Great app and customer service!
I needed to find an app that could allow me to text the IPA alphabet to my classmates. I ran into an issue on my end (nothing to do with the app working, but rather my personal tech challenges) and I received immediate customer support. I am very impressed with the app and the customer service was a great bonus. I think our entire class has this app now- we love it. Thanks!

Waste of money
No explanation of where the IPA symbols where on the keyboard other then press the latin letter so then trial and error to find them. Once found, you could not slide to the required symbol

Hello, thank you for purchasing the keyboard. Symbols are grouped according to their similarity in shape. We found this grouping to be most efficient. If you believe there is a better way to organize the symbols, we are open to your suggestions.
Nice app. a couple of glitches.
This keyboard makes it fairly easy to access the symbols of the international phonetic alphabet. It does have a tendency to close and switch back to the standard iOS keyboard. Also, the voiced velar plosive does not always show the correct symbol; it often reverts to the typewriter version of the "g" rather than the one shown here. It seems that it needs to not necessarily default to the one provided by the font.
