### 1/5 — What!!!!

*2025-10-07*

How am i supposed to know what I’m typing unless I look on the Internet and flip back-and-forth kind of ridiculous. Maybe it works on a computer but I have an iPhone here. Why do they even sell it in the App Store? Completely useless. I want my goddamn money back.

### 2/5 — Works

*2025-05-13*

I originally said it didn’t work. It does but the keyboard layout is extremely unintuitive, and doesn’t adhere to the “Futhorc” style, making it pretty difficult to use.

### 3/5 — This is neat

*2024-09-16*

This is a neat keyboard however it would be more functional for modern English if it had punctuation marks.

### 4/5 — request

*2023-07-24*

the app works beautifully! the only thing is that it doesn’t work with Discord. is there any way that could happen?

### 2/5 — Nice idea but

*2023-02-11*

It does not communicate with Blue tooth keyboard.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2021-10-16*

No longer works

### 3/5 — Needs one tweak!

*2020-05-07*

Exactly what I’m looking for BUT it’s missing the : symbol.  I would much rather have a version that omits the space bar for a ᛫ and : punctuation.  Can you give an option that replaces the cross symbol with that?   I don’t want crosses anywhere near my writings.  I’ve already paid for it, I’d even pay a little dlc fee to swap that out for something more native.

### 4/5 — Just needs a better guide

*2020-02-29*

Can you add the punctuation symbols and improve the guide? Some of the info contradicts other sources and it doesn’t include all the possible sounds 

ᚸ means G sound

ᛥ means st sound

ᛢ means kw sound

ᛣ means k sound

ᛋᚳ means sh sound

ᚳᚸ means j sound

ᚳ means ch sound

ᚷ means glottal stop

ᚣ means y sound

ᛡ and ᛄ interchangeable

### 3/5 — Good but missing the “point”

*2020-01-13*

App is nice but it’s in missing the period option for between words. My friend has it, but I do not. Is it a bug for the current version of IOS?

### 5/5 — Excellent!!!

*2019-10-24*

Works perfectly and has very clear instructions!
I was able to type runes in under 2 seconds!
