Je suis incapable d’utiliser le clavier de base de l’iPhone. Je ne peux pas non plus faire une désinstallation. C’est horrible. Si vous avez des trucs pour moi, ce serait très apprécié. 🪐 ### 3/5 — 😡 good but bad *2020-04-27, version 2.0.6* I tried to click on other places but the app was not letting me it made me stay on the letter fonts but no letting me go on the other fonts pls fix this and I want a response ### 1/5 — Pls help *2020-03-24, version 2.0.5* HOW DO YOU COPY IT ON TO ROBLOX? Help is needed pls ### 1/5 — do not recommend. 1/5 *2020-02-28, version 2.0.5* the first thing it showed me when i downloaded this app was an ad. it was really annoying. then, when i wanted to type something, the airdrop thing came up and i wasn't done so i tried to click the x at the top. the airdrop box didn't go away. then, it started glitching out and you could see the letters pop up as if you were typing on the keyboard but the airdrop thing was still there. sorry if that's confusing, but i do not recommend. ## Frequently asked questions about Characters & Symbols ### What does this app do?
