### 1/5 — Very disappointing.

*2024-01-24, version 1.0.1*

I enabled the keyboard and gave it full access, as directed.  It does not seem to do anything.  I could not get anything to happen.  

Just a picture of a click wheel on the screen.

One star because I could not rate it a zero.

### 5/5 — Pointless but great

*2021-09-25*

It’s pointless to downgrade the iPhone to the iPod but it’s a fun neat trick. And it made me giggle 5 stars

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-11-28, version 1.0.1*

This bring me back to 2001.

### 5/5 — 好看

*2020-03-17, version 1.0.1*

有意思不实用

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-02-25, version 1.0.1*

I love my iPod.But the sound was noisy when I using .

### 4/5 — Cool!

*2019-11-28*

I wrote this with the keyboard. Took a while!

### 4/5 — Has a couple flaws

*2019-04-05, version 1.0.1*

This keyboard is really cool, I’ve gotta say. However, the first use of this keyboard crashed my phone. I am also questioning why we have to enable Full Access. Also, since there is already a backspace function on the click wheel and there is no enter, I would like for there to be an enter button in place of the backspace in the bottom right. Another thing is that the click sound sounds a bit off from my iPod Nano. I also think that you should make a dark keyboard for it. Other than those issues, this app is very good!

### 5/5 — Add haptic feedback

*2019-02-27, version 1.0.1*

this app is awesome but please add haptic feedback

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2018-09-29, version 1.0.1*

I wanted to know what it felt like to have an iPod

### 4/5 — Almost

*2017-01-19, version 1.0.1*

I really like this however we need more nested menus and an enter command
