### 4/5 — Great keyboard but..

*2026-08-30*

This a great keyboard. Simple to use. Lots of customization for iPhone but the predictive text is terrible.

### 4/5 — Precisa melhorar o swipe

*2026-08-25*

O aplicativo é muito bom, muita personalização e tem o teclado numérico em cima que foi o que me fez instalar e comprar o app.

Mas não sei se é a inteligência artificial do teclado ou a identificação do swipe do app que é horrível, de dez palavras ele erra pelo menos 4 ( isso quando ele mais acerta). Já configurei para identificar apenas um idioma e mesmo assim ele cisma em colocar dois ou três idiomas ao mesmo tempo piorando mais ainda a digitação. Esse foi o fator principal que me fez desistir de usar.

Uma sugestão é colocar o botão de emoji ao lado da barra de espaço igual tem no teclado da Apple e poder configurar o tamanho das teclas individualmente, principalmente a barra de espaço, shift e enter.

### 4/5 — Need auto complete turn off option

*2026-08-25*

Please add an option to turn off auto-complete/autocorrect suggestions. Some users prefer typing without automatic word completion, and having a simple toggle in the keyboard settings would make the experience much better.

**Developer response:** You can! Just go to customize > suggestions or corrections

### 4/5 — Great keyboard but small problems.

*2026-08-18*

It’s a great keyboard but sometimes the background doesn’t have its animation. Not sure if it’s because some apps don’t support the 3rd party keyboard or if its user error on my end, but everything else is great!

**Developer response:** Working on these!

### 5/5 — Marvelous innovation!

*2026-07-23*

I’ve been using this keyboard on my iPhone 17 Pro Max since launch of the app and things have been wonderful since the first release. I believe this being early on in the app’s launch, the developer has put timeless work into the details and features to make this keyboard seamless in IOS. Anyone who might rate any lower should understand these are early builds and updates are pushed out as it grows. Whats really special is the solid connection with the users and developer working together to implement new features and fixing the nooks and crannies. Absolutely would recommend this keyboard. Looking back at the stock IOS keyboard just baffles me how much better CLINK is.

### 5/5 — beautiful but

*2026-07-20*

there are so many typing bug in iOS 26.

but looks really beautiful I hope these bugs fix next updates or future version.

I‘ll send bug list with email so please fix it.

thank you.

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-07-13*

Melhor teclado que ja usei em todos os tempos

### 5/5 — Better than Swiftkey!

*2026-07-08*

Great new keyboard. Allows a ton of customization. Auto-Correct needs some work. Has a number row and a clipboard! I'm sure it will get better with updates.

### 5/5 — Clipboard to the rescue!

*2026-07-05*

Amazing keyboard with tons of customisation. For me, the main highlight is the clipboard function on the keyboard. There are some AI capabilities, but I use the 13 series and no AI to test them. 
Overall, I would highly recommend trying this Clink keyboard!

### 4/5 — Great keyboard! Just seems to have some typing issues at the moment

*2026-07-02*

I think this could easily become a replacement for the stock keyboard for a lot of people. I love the amount of customization this one offers. Even small details like the animations and button positioning. The Liquid Glass theming especially makes this blend in with the OS compared to other keyboards.

Updated review: The typing experience has definitely improved after the recent update. Still not quite on par with the stock keyboard, but it’s a lot better than it was. Swipe typing could still maybe use some work, particularly in being a bit more forgiving like the stock keyboard. Backspacing/undoing an incorrect autocorrected word (which occurs a lot for me) noticeably takes a lot of tries too. But overall, a huge improvement and I’m looking forward to future updates.

**Developer response:** All of these issues are fixed in the later version coming soon!

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2026-06-26*

Já estou usando há algumas semanas, e esse teclado tem um grande futuro. O desenvolvedor faz as correções rapidamente.

### 1/5 — Must pay monthly for a keyboard

*2026-08-20*

Downloaded and set up everything, then switched to it but the only thing it appeared was Voice Typing. Rechecked if I misread or not, the app still said it must have its subscription to use its keyboard in other apps 🤡

### 1/5 — Worse Than The Stock iOS Keyboard

*2026-08-20*

I never thought anything could be more abysmal than the stock iPhone keyboard until using this. I don’t even want a refund. Uninstalling.

**Developer response:** The app is free! And it doesn’t appear you ever made a purchase but I appreciate your concern ❤️

### 1/5 — Não consegui usar o teclado

*2026-08-15*

Infelizmente não consegui usar o teclado, o sistema aceita somente o sistema de voz.

**Developer response:** O processo de introdução explica que a ditadura é gratuita enquanto o teclado em si não é

### 1/5 — Greedy app

*2026-08-13*

Just to use the app with default keyboard we have to pay such a greedy way even thought the app frequently  lags before. Where we have Swiftkey which is totally free works like a charm.

**Developer response:** AI tools and dictation are entirely free, unfortunately as a solo developed I cannot compete with corporation pricing

### 1/5 — Don't swipe

*2026-07-07*

All in all the configuration was what intrigued me. It looks super nice, but the only thing it can do *is* look nice - at least if you're a swiper like me.

Out of 50 tries to write the sentence "this feels completely off", not a single one was correct at the first try - compared to Apple, where not a single one had an error, that's abysmal.

**Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the insights, i absolutely am not a swiper myself but a lot of our testers are! This is an area I’ve spent a lot of time and effort exploring recently so i hope the upcoming 1.3 update will solve this for you. As well as add double finger swipe typing!

Please feel free to contact us to become apart of the testing program

### 3/5 — Maybe great for English

*2026-08-13*

The keyboard is miles ahead of the competition in regards of personalization and customization.
Still I’m struggling with autocorrect and predictive typing. I type in German, English and Greek which are at least all supported but the autocorrect for the German language is not great. For me it’s even worse than the official iOS keyboard in this regard. I haven’t tried the voice dictation feature because my main use case is the normal keyboard. I really hope that the autocorrection will be improved in the future because iOS really needs a better keyboard experience.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! As a solo dev it’s difficult to support all these languages I don’t speak, but I’d love to get in touch to see the specific areas auto correct is failing for you! contact@anti.ltd

### 3/5 — Nice

*2026-06-23*

It could be better if the keyboard stayed in sync when you are typing and not stop then have to delete nd back back this its the speed of how it goes its not like normal keyboard needs a bit of catching up when you’re typing fast

**Developer response:** Hey! 1.2 should of been a major improvement on this, but 1.3 will absolutely knock it out the park!

### 4/5 — Endlich eine Zahlenreihe – und sie sieht auch noch großartig aus ⌨️✨

*2026-09-08*

Ich habe jahrelang darauf gewartet, dass Apple seiner Tastatur eine Zahlenreihe spendiert. Irgendwann habe ich aufgegeben und stattdessen Clink installiert – zwei Minuten später hatte ich meine Zahlenreihe. Manchmal muss man Dinge eben selbst in die Hand nehmen.
Was mich wirklich umhaut, ist die Anpassbarkeit: Themes für Hell und Dunkel getrennt, 3D-Keycaps, gebürstetes Metall, Liquid Glass, eigene Hintergründe, Key-Lighting, sogar einzelne Tasten lassen sich im Canvas-Modus gestalten. Dazu Layout-Freiheit ohne Ende – Split, Einhandmodus, Höhe, Breite, eigene Zeilen und Tasten. Meine Tastatur sieht inzwischen besser aus als die meisten Apps, in denen ich tippe.
Die Tools sind der zweite Grund zum Bleiben: Zwischenablage-Verlauf mit Gruppen, Notizblock, Taschenrechner, Übersetzung und die AI-Tools direkt in der Tastatur. Kein ständiges Hin- und Herspringen mehr zwischen Apps, nur um eine Zahl oder einen Textbaustein zu holen.
Und die Autokorrektur? Die korrigiert tatsächlich das, was ich vertippt habe – nicht das, was ich absichtlich so geschrieben habe. Ein ungewohntes Gefühl nach all den Jahren, in denen mein iPhone „Duck" für die kreativere Lösung hielt. Dass die Korrektur komplett auf dem Gerät läuft und nichts nach Hause telefoniert, macht es umso sympathischer.
Kleiner Wermutstropfen: Die App selbst gibt es bisher nur auf Englisch, und bei der deutschen Autokorrektur ist noch Luft nach oben – der Entwickler arbeitet aber sichtbar daran, die Update-Frequenz ist beeindruckend.
Fazit: Ein Solo-Entwickler liefert das Keyboard, das seit iOS 7 auf der Wunschliste steht. Klare Empfehlung – und liebe Grüße nach Cupertino. 😉

### 4/5 — my favorite keyboard

*2026-09-05*

One thing I’d like to see added is an integrated image/gif tool for quick meme responses 
Potential tweak for the Apple Intelligence integration it sometimes puts a word from ai over an auto correct suggestion that I’d prefer to use. Maybe I little flick over the Apple suggestion to show the previous auto suggestion  would be a sweet fix

### 4/5 — This could be the GOAT 🐐

*2026-08-31*

This has the potential to be one of the best Keybaord 

still early and very laggy 
but potential is there

### 5/5 — great! but…

*2026-09-05*

So i really like this app. SO MUCH CUSTOMIZATION! and its mostly free too. what i dont like, is that a lot of the themes dont work. I tried to switch to a different theme many times, but the only ones that worked were liquid glass and snow/graphite

EDIT: dev fixed it, thank you so much!! definitely 5 star!

**Developer response:** This was my fault! When I transitioned to download able themes, I didn’t account for free users not being able to download them. There is an update pending right now that should give free users access to all of the preset themes!

### 5/5 — I love this app my thoughts and ideas to make this app even better (requests) and there is a bug🐜

*2026-09-01*

the problem (bug) is the background keyboard animation and swipe to type animation does not show for that long please fix it 

And also Can you please add a ton of more customization options and add a ton of more animations and effects in the upcoming updates that is 

1 can you please add an option to curve the keyboard in 2 different ways if you can 

2 add more animation options for example when you tap a key on the keyboard the keyboard shakes (jitters) and you can set it to the letter to and 

3 add an option for when you tap a key on the keyboard it changes the shape and changes a color for that key on the keyboard 

4 add an option to set different colors to fade though the different colors on the keyboard I just set it to that you can set it to the letters and keys and the keyboard background 

5 add more effects to the keyboard that you can tweak it (customize it) for example when you type it shows a fireworks or sparkle or fog or glitter 

6 please add an option to change each individual keys on the keyboard to different colors and different animation options and different effects and different sounds and even different haptic vibrations for example the top row of keys is red the middle row of keys is green and the bottom row of keys is blue and when you tap it if has a different animation effect and different sounds and different haptic vibrations for each individual keys on the keyboard 

7 add more AI features 

8 ads options to outline the keyboard 

9 add a ton of more animations effects that is when you tap a key on the keyboard it flips over a key and add an animation that is you you tap a key on the keyboard it rotates the key on the keyboard that has an option to adjust the speed and 

And please respond to my letter ASAP.

### 5/5 — Best keyboard on iOS hands down!

*2026-08-30*

Easily one of the best third-party keyboards on iOS. Clink brings an insane amount of features, customization, and flexibility that I honestly haven’t seen done this well on iOS before.

It feels like they’ve taken the limitations of the default iOS keyboard and completely opened them up. So many thoughtful features and options, while still keeping the keyboard practical and easy to use.

If you’re looking for a third-party iOS keyboard, Clink is absolutely worth trying.

### 5/5 — Great keyboard

*2026-08-26*

Extremely customizable and has a clipboard. What more could you ask for?

**Developer response:** Thank you

### 5/5 — Melhor teclado disparadamente para Iphone

*2026-08-26*

O melhor que já  baixei

### 5/5 — Stunning!​ But could use some work.​

*2026-08-18*

This is the most verbose keyboard app I've ever come across and I love it!​ You get a ton of customization options to make it really feel like it's yours.​ Heck,​ even to task faster!​

I will say,​ though. Not really a big fan of the keyboard taking me back to the ABC menu when typing a period,​ comma,​ or such.​ An option to toggle that off would be nice.​ I have to put a Zero Width Space in layouts to counter that and it kind of makes typing slightly more annoying when there's a mistake to fix.​

Overall, great work on this!​ I'm definitely looking forward to more updates as time goes on.​ Might even upgrade from the free trial lol

**Developer response:** There is options to toggle this off! The menus difficult to explore right now which is something i’m working on fixing

for the symbols 
customize > text > automations > punctuation

### 5/5 — Excellent keyboard

*2026-08-17*

A very beautiful, minimalist keyboard for the latest versions of iOS, featuring excellent functions that assist you while typing

**Developer response:** 😍😍 Thank you

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-08-16*

Really Liked the customizations of the Keyboard. The keyboard looks rich and we have tons of options to customize favourite options. The AI tools works superb. Coming from Swiftkey this app gives a fresh new feel. Gboard and Swiftkey never update their app to address concerns which is Wierd. But this app gives good updates and it's been my default Keyboard.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2026-08-11*

Teclado top demais, permite colocar vírgula no início. Além disso, dá pra customizar tudo, até mesmo mudar teclas de lugar. Falta apenas implementar ajuste do tempo de tecla pressionada para acentos, gostaria de poder diminuir o tempo para aparecer o acento. Um ajuste na correção de palavras, algumas vezes muda uma palavra que escrevi certo para uma outra palavra próxima.

**Developer response:** Obrigado! Você acha que os sotaques aparecem depois de muito tempo ou muito pouco tempo?

### 5/5 — Best keyboard app

*2026-08-10*

Literally not kidding when I say it has the closest to stock swiping experience.
