## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Waste of a buck

*2015-03-31, version 1.8.0*

Thought this was a keyboard you could use with/in your settings. It is not. It's just an app to type up your email and be able to use cursor keys like a keyboard, then export to email. NOT a true iPad keyboard. Just a stand alone app.

### 1/5 — Not what I thought

*2014-08-10*

It does not install in the main keyboard. . So useless

### 1/5 — ridiculous

*2012-05-02, version 1.6.3*

iPad is my 1st Apple purchase. Hate the fact there are no arrow keys. This app doesn't solve the issue as it can only be used with mail. How about across all things - Safari, messaging, contacts etc then it might be worth it.

### 1/5 — Ms

*2012-02-11, version 1.6.2*

This keyboard does not work anywhere else.  You are stuck using this as a word processor only.  I want a REFUND!  Uninstalled already.

### 1/5 — Did not find this useful

*2011-05-14, version 1.6*

After downloading I found that this only types text that can be later inserted into an email without the user having reference to the incoming email that is being answered. I would seek a refund if one were offered, or I knew how. Not recommended.

### 1/5 — Be warned

*2010-11-26, version 0*

Neat idea, but be warned:  It only works in its own app.  Can't type with it in your email or even a search box.  In fact, I can't even use it in this review box.  Odd, huh?  As a result, I probably will almost never use it.  Wish that had been made clear in their description.

### 2/5 — コピーが

*2011-03-19, version 1.5*

シフトキーと矢印キーで出来るようにしてほしい

### 2/5 — 他のソフトでは、使えません

*2010-06-26, version 0*

他のアプリでも、使えるかと購入しましたが、このソフト上でしか、左右カーソルは使用できませんでした。残念。

### 3/5 — Not as expected

*2014-03-02, version 1.6.8*

Does not change the existing keyboard, must use this app to see new keyboard.

### 3/5 — A welcome start

*2010-07-04, version 0*

Why in the world Apple has such a limited keyboard on the spacious iPad is beyond me. I hope this app will improve in time with enhanced updates, but for now it is quite welcome, even with its limitations.

### 4/5 — 使い易い！

*2010-11-25, version 0*

矢印キーがある事で文章の入力がとても楽になり重宝しています。その他にも()、「‘」、「:」その他の文書入力で多用する記号がキーボード上に表示されているのでとても便利です。
日本語でも英語でもストレスなくタイピング出来ますよ。
価格を考えるととてもオススメです。
唯一の難点は、キーボードを隠しても、キーボードがあった場所にソフト会社の宣伝があって、文書を全画面表示出来ない事です。
純正キーボードよりも大きな面積を占めるキーボードなので、長文メールの内容を確認したい時はとてもふべんですね。これが無ければ最高なのですが……

### 4/5 — 求めていた機能

*2010-09-08, version 0*

ソフトウェアキーボードに無いカーソルキーを追加してくれます。
追加キーボードがカスタマイズできれば更に便利に使えると思います。

### 4/5 — More keys

*2010-08-28, version 0*

Great App. Makes typing easier.
Could be improved with adding a "Del" key vs only having Backspace.

### 4/5 — Arrow Keys Mail Keyboard

*2010-07-02, version 0*

This app does what it says i.e. it provides the much needed arrow keys (only left & right, but still much better than Apple's lack of any! ) The limitation is that you can only use this new keyboard within their app, but it has a "copy" and "to mail" keys on the extended keyboard to facilitate pasting to Apple's email client.  Not an ideal solution, but livable!  If I'm not mistaken, it's the Apple OS that imposes the limitations on creating a universal "extended" keyboard for all apps in the iPad. The "copy" feature allows you to paste to other apps besides the email client.

I would have given this app 5 stars but for the nag message to provide feedback about the app itself. Still a good value.

### 4/5 — I just wanted Arrow Keys!!!

*2010-06-26, version 0*

Thanks.

This app is very helpful. Especially like me who do mistype.

I wish to use this Arrow key works other apps.
(I know you can make keyboard for each app only.)

### 3/5 — How about to reply a mail

*2010-06-27, version 0*

Good concept, but
Renders useless when returning an e-mail.
