### 4/5 — RaReRiRoRu

*2022-09-30, version 1.9.37*

Seems like these baybayin "R" and "D" is not working properly. Please address this issue. Gamitin pa naman lagi yang tunog at bigkas na yan. Thank you

### 3/5 — Ang “Ra” Di supertado ng IOS

*2022-09-25*

Ang “Ra” ay naka ?.. paki ayos naman po

### 3/5 — Fix ᜏ

*2022-07-01, version 1.9.37*

Please fix the character ᜏ (wa) coz there's no we/wi wo/Wu or even W, I purchased this app to have a baybayin keyboard

### 3/5 — Issue with wa (ᜏ) when it is in between the word

*2022-01-14, version 1.9.37*

Sa traditional keyboard, pag tinatype yung wa (ᜏ) especially pag wala sya sa pinaka unang part ng sentence, di sya napapaltan into we or wo. May want ko pa naman yung traditional kesa sa modern. Yun lang. will change my ratings if it will be fixed. Thank you.

### 3/5 — problem with “ᜏ” Character

*2021-12-20, version 1.9.37*

does a great job. but when I use the “ᜏ” character. For example i’m trying to type “Buwis”, The kudlit doesn’t seem to stick with the “ᜏ” character. It apears as “ᜊᜓᜏᜊᜒᜐ͓”. It seems to detect the previous character.

### 4/5 — Good!

*2021-10-27, version 1.9.37*

I gave it 4 stars because I really like the app. It's not free but I still downloaded it because it's the only baybayin keyboard I found in apps store. The translation in latin scripture also helps for beginners. But it would be better if we have the numbers also in the keyboard to "modernise" it more (it's a pain changing keyboards everytime I want to write numbers). But overall I like the app and I'd wait for new features. ᜐᜎᜋᜆ᜔ ᜉᜓ❤️

### 2/5 — The ᜏ has issue

*2021-07-10, version 1.9.37*

For traditional baybayin. The ᜏ when typing in the middle of a word misses the options for we/wi and wo/wu. Every consonants have options but for ᜏ. Kindly fix.

### 4/5 — Good enough. Probably the best out there.

*2020-08-25, version 1.9.36*

Doesn’t have the vowel option for ᜏ in some apps though. Must be a bug.

### 4/5 — Repeating kudlits?

*2020-08-10, version 1.9.36*

Hi, I really love this app, and use it frequently. But I was wondering if there can be an update for repeating kudlits? Specifically for characters that repeat the u or i vowel? For instance ᜏ̄̄ or ᜎ̱̱  . The kudlits don’t fit above or below a character. Unlike the o and e vowels, which do; such as, ᜆ̤ or ᜌ̈  . Hope that made sense!

### 4/5 — 4/5 Improvements

*2020-07-24, version 1.9.36*

Sa totoo lang, maganda na yung layout. The letters are complete. The scripture is accurate, and you can easily access it. However, some of the things I would recommend is making it a little bit more tweakable. The keyboard height as well as a better looking dark mode keyboard theme. You can even add a the trackpad feature of the factory virtual keyboard (the one where you hold the space key down and the keyboard turns into a trackpad). Kudos to your work in keeping  Baybayin alive. ᜉᜇᜌᜓᜈ͓᜵ ᜃᜉᜆᜒᜇ͓!

### 4/5 — Update please

*2020-07-17, version 1.9.36*

Hindi po gumagana yung RA sa modernized baybayin. I hope maupdate siya. ᜐᜎᜋᜆ͓

### 3/5 — Errors in Kudlit for “e” & “i”

*2020-06-03, version 1.9.36*

In the Philippine Modern Baybayin, 
This ᜊᜒ stands for “bi” and this ᜊ̄ stands for “be”
But in your Baybayin keyboard you have interchanged the kudlit signs for e & i

### 4/5 — Its good! but app needs improvement

*2020-05-26, version 1.9.36*

Please include the following if possible:

1. it lacks of special characters like peso sign, bullets , "@" sharp "&" ☆♪➝etc. 

2. No emoji 

3. the spacing width is narrow

4. unable to translate the text via google translate because it don't represent English text 

if you type "ᜊ" the translator will read the character as "ba"

5. add english keyboard inside the baybayin, I only use one keyboard and its pain to change keyboard everytime I want to add english character on my sentence.

6. the kudlit E/I O/U is redundant because there is a E/I , O/U as primary character. to avoid this, make a flick keyboard like japanese 12key flick keyboard.

6.1 the keyboard doesn't have character suggestion to save up spaces on the keyboard.

6.2 add pamudpod to the suggestion so you can remove one pamudpod on the keyboard and should be on the suggested character.

6.3 make the suggestion show emoji 

example the user type ᜋᜆ(mata) 
keyboard should suggest emoji like eyes 👀

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-05-18, version 1.9.36*

I feel a sense of nationalistic pride just using this. I appreciate the hardwork put into this sir Chris! ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔

### 1/5 — Does not work on latest iOS versions.

### 1/5 — It won’t open.

*2023-01-12, version 1.9.37*

I was really excited to get this app as I want to start Learning our language but it won’t open up in keyboard. I did as instructed like go to general >keyboard etc but it’s a no go.
Please help out

### 1/5 — Learning feature removed

*2020-08-04, version 1.9.36*

On the latest update, they really changes the whole app from a learning platform to just a plain keyboard add-on. Really wish next update would be better, especially since the earlier version was paid for.

### 5/5 — Numbers

*2021-01-14, version 1.9.37*

Is it possible to include Baybayin numbers on the keyboard? It would be great if it includes its characters :) Overall the app is good! Worth the purchase :)

### 5/5 — Happy with it!

*2020-11-17*

I have just learned the characters of the baybayin alphabet. This is helping me practice to read and recognise the characters.
I’m happy this existed! Thank you!

### 5/5 — ᜀᜅ͓ ᜄᜎᜒᜅ͓ ᜈᜅ͓ ᜀᜉ͓ ᜈᜆᜓ  !

*2020-08-27, version 1.9.36*

great app and very useful in helping me learn how to read baybayin! i would love to see a feature on this keyboard that supports the pamudpod as a vowel killer which i prefer over the krus because it is less spanish inlfuenced. ᜐᜎᜋᜆ͓

### 5/5 — Great Keyboard!

*2020-08-14, version 1.9.36*

Still works great in 2020. It is a fun and useful tool and a great way to connect with Filipino roots, or anyone interested in older Filipino culture.
