### 5/5 — カーソル移動機能だけ！

*2025-04-06, version 1.0*

軽く触りましたがかなり便利です。無料アプリとは思えないほどの満足感です。

あと一声ほしいのはカーソル移動機能です。キーボードをなぞれば左右にカーソル移動ができるようですが、これを接続状況表示画面の上からでもできるようする、欲を言えば上下にもカーソル移動ができるようになれば(これは仕様上難しいのかもしれない？)さらに使用感の良いアプリになると思われます。

アプリ配信からしばらく経っているようですが、このレビューが届くことがあるようでしたら、ぜひご検討ください。

### 5/5 — Scrivo proprio con questa app.

*2024-02-25, version 1.0*

Funzionante.

### 1/5 — Don’t trust this app at all

*2022-07-29, version 1.0*

No, I do t want you to have my address and credit card information. 0 stars for this one.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2022-03-11, version 1.0*

I Have Been Trying and stressing for about 2 hours wasting my time trying to connect this, it might work for other people but not me, in my opinion I give this app 0 stars it just doesn’t work

### 2/5 — loses texts

*2022-01-17, version 1.0*

It works, but very hard to use: if it loses connection while you're typing (which it does the moment the text input goes inactive), it loses all your text on send. How hard would it be for the web client to retain your text / show previous texts sent / larger input box? Also, needs constant fiddling with the globe icon to ensure there is a connection.

### 1/5 — Crap don’t download

*2021-10-16, version 1.0*

You can only use the keyboard if the keyboard is already on the screen so it’s not at all the same as a Bluetooth keyboard pretty much useless utility

### 3/5 — Great Idea

*2021-04-11, version 1.0*

But could be better. Suggestions:
1. Add multi-line support. Currently only one line can be input, and could not send enter key. A opinion on web UI is a choise.
2. able to stop auto-sleep.

### 1/5 — See all my texts/content/history?

*2020-02-21*

I just can’t trust this app...

### 5/5 — Fantastic app with a minor bug.

*2020-01-04, version 1.0*

This is a great app! It allows me to use my nice mechanical keyboard from my computer through a web browser. All you have to do is type the iPad (in my case) or iPhone's IP address (it gives this to you) into the browser's address bar on your computer. I only have two complaints; the first is that I wish it sent the keystrokes through live. The next is likely a bug; sometimes it takes multiple refreshes on the browser side to get it to connect, it's a little annoying but, it is a much better solution than having to reach acrost my desk to use the touch keyboard so I will deal with a bug or two. It is also super simple to setup it walks you through the process.

Also a tip add the airtype interface as a pinned tab in your browser. All you have to do is right click the tab and then click pin tab. And it will always be there when you open your browser.

Also because it is browser based it works with any computer that has an internet connection whether that be a MacBook, Windows computer, chromebook, or a Linux computer!

### 4/5 — Quasi perfetto

*2019-10-30, version 1.0*

L'app funziona perfettamente. È molto semplice collegare il computer all'iPhone o all'iPad. Quello che non mi piace così tanto è che si deve premere Enter ogni volta, in modo che il testo arrivi sull'iPhone
