User reviews

Almost everything’s good, but there is a problem:

Some of the characters I added in my collections were still there in the app but when I used the CharMap keyboard in other apps some of the characters were omitted.

Thank You

I wrote several game books using the Unicode characters that this app enabled me to easily access.

I used the APL glyphs and combining accents to write messages in my own custom emoji language. And the variety of standard Unicode math typefaces are always available for messages.

And I keep any math symbols and logic language symbols handy. Great for computer science students or engineers.

The box and line drawing glyphs are also nice to keep handy with this keyboard system on iPhone or iPad.

Excellent product. I really appreciate it.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the positive review! As of version 4.1, you can change the display font used to render characters. To choose a new font, go to “Settings > Advanced > Character Display Font” and choose a font from the list of installed fonts.

Cool

I get lots of characters

Smooth!

So effective!
