Auto suggestion is not working. ### 3/5 — Lags typing *2024-04-14, version 3.1.0* My version is 17.4.1. Unfortunately, it lags in every phonetic while I'm typing. Each phonetic takes close to a second to appear. It takes a massive amount of time to complete a full sentence. This app needs debugging. ### 2/5 — Slow *2023-10-02, version 2.3.0* Always lagging and very slow response to keyboard. iPhone 13 pro max ### 4/5 — Missing keyboard global icon *2023-07-19, version 2.2.0* It’s a great app. But when I enable the app then global icon from keyboard is gone missing. So I couldn’t revert to the English keyboard again. Is it any device supported issue or app? iPhone 8. ### 2/5 — Need more improvement for ios *2023-06-01, version 2.2.0* Some times keyboard gets laggy ### 3/5 — Okay app *2022-08-25, version 2.1.0* It’s a app that works. But a) The Bangla keyboard is rather slow b) A keyboard can tap whatever you type (including credit card and password data) So, instead of a person’s name as the developer, a registered trusted company name would give better comfort to user. ### 4/5 — Real handy among available all others. *2022-08-03, version 2.1.0* While I used android I preferred Google Indic Keyboard, but after switching to IOS I found it difficult to get an app like that. I was mostly suggested to use Ridmic keyboard but I found that not much suitable to get the accurate spelling in Bangla words. However, by using this app I felt better to write the language with proper spelling. Actually the word suggestions are good to get the right word I want to use. It’s indeed the best app available to write Bangla in IOS. ### 2/5 — Not a good app *2022-07-23, version 2.1.0* Typing is very slow and laggy! Ridmik is far more better than this! Typing every letter was taking time! ### 4/5 — Easy to write Banglish *2022-06-11, version 2.1.0* I can type English and it will be bangla(not translated) ### 3/5 — Key requires multiple taps *2022-03-18, version 2.1.0* One tap does not always work… often time it requires multiple taps ### 1/5 — Can not write Bangla *2022-03-07, version 2.1.0* Can not write Bangla ### 1/5 — worst *2022-02-15, version 2.1.0* key distance ekdon baje. ek kothai joghonno app ### 2/5 — ভাল *2022-01-17, version 2.1.0* খারাপ না! যদিও কিছু বিজ্ঞাপন আসে। ### 2/5 — দাড়ি কোথায়? *2021-09-20, version 2.1.0* ভাই দাড়ি কিভাবে দিব? ### 1/5 — Slow *2021-08-21, version 2.1.0* Slow as molasses on iPhone 12.

Please fix this issue. ### 1/5 — I like this *2024-08-26, version 3.1.0* Go ### 1/5 — ব্যবহার বান্ধব অ্যাপ নয়। *2024-07-27, version 3.1.0* ব্যবহার বান্ধব অ্যাপ নয়। ### 1/5 — Slow and Shift button problem *2024-07-15* It lags after typing, space button very slow, shift button should be automatically revert to previous state so that it will become convenient ### 1/5 — Bal er keyboard *2024-06-02, version 3.1.0* Slow , kicchu kaj krena thik moto bal er keyaboard ### 1/5 — Changing keyboard (Globe) option Missing suddenly *2023-06-09, version 2.2.0* Very very disappointed. I use this keyboard from the beginning and last few weeks ago i saw that changing between keyboard layout options is gone. Please put it back. ### 1/5 — Once you select Bangla keyboard you can’t get back to other type of keyboard *2023-05-23, version 2.2.0* Not working as used to work before ### 1/5 — Was great until ios16 *2023-01-30, version 2.1.1* Please update the app, it’s very laggy on iOS 16.2 ### 1/5 — Unusably and painfully slow *2022-06-25, version 2.1.0* Switched to Ridmik after using this one for two months, every letter took more than a second to appear on the screen when using it.
