### 1/5 — Worse Than Useless

*2021-05-09, version 1.1*

Provided no additional characters and the keyboard covered my entire screen so that I couldn't see anything that was being typed at all.

### 1/5 — Everything you type gets sent to developer

*2015-01-08, version 1.0*

I don't think there's really anything else to say. What kind of chutzpah this developer has. Everything you type using this keyboard gets sent to the developer... I will be requesting s refund base solely on this absurd stipulation. Absolutely unacceptable.

### 5/5 — finally

*2014-11-25, version 1.0*

i was looking for this for so long. thankyou!!

### 5/5 — Just Swipe It

*2014-10-11, version 1.0*

The ability to add extra keyboards with iOS 8 is really powerful. While I don't use everything here, I love the quick access I have to a wide range of characters. I see this keyboard growing on me, but Apple has made it so easy to switch between the keyboards to so many can be enjoyed and utilized. I just love the black and white symbols.

### 4/5 — YAY…a “Special Characters" iOS 8 keyboard!!

*2014-10-03, version 1.0*

I was hoping someone would create a keyboard full of those special shape & symbol characters and here it is!  This keyboard can completely replace the default keyboard if you wish but it does not do spelling autocorrection nor any word suggestion like the default keyboard. So, for me, this will serve as a very useful adjunct keyboard. This keyboard is working fine -- even with the Messages app which has been problematic for some other 3rd party iOS 8 keyboards.

### 5/5 — Nice Keyboard

*2014-10-03, version 1.0*

Nice keyboard with loads of hard to find symbols. Like the red shift key, wish apple would do it.
