### 1/5 — oh where, oh where has my dear Android gone?

*2018-11-30, version 1.0*

Bottomline, iPad hardware leaves all Android tabs in the dust ,,, and I've used some top ones like the awesomely over powered Samsung S2 9.7 inch but the pad still slips and slides all around it neatly.still. The problem is Apples historic obsession with proprietarism which leaves the obscenely over-hyped App store jammed with hundreds of thousands of crappy games, counter productive utilities like this one and the general ambiance of something designed for the three to ten market. The Android store, on the other hand, offers 10 to 15 key mapper and macro apps and keyboards that leave this one so far behind in the dust it can’t be seen ... and if you object to the number of typos here blame it on the pathetic selection of keyboards and the unswitchable two point font. Oh, well, i still have a week to haul the $355 black friday “special” if you want to call it that, back to Best Buy. Suggestion give a thousand of these to top system designers and task them with rewriting IOS to take the facist pseudo security BS out of it and put some grown productivity ability in it.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-08-04, version 1.0*

I thought I could remap the 'standard' keyboard. This is not what I am looking for.

### 1/5 — One freaking star!!!

*2015-06-21, version 1.0*

What the 💩💨?? There's no auto correction!!! Don't pay for this lousy app... Its rip off... Slow keyboard... You ripped me off!!!

### 5/5 — Loving It!!!

*2015-01-16, version 1.0*

Having downloaded and or look at all the popular third party keybords plus a lot of lesser known ones. Cool Key has left and right (not up and down) cursor keys. Also keys to jump to the beginning or end of a word, popular puncuation keys and there's a key to access macros (stock & custom) characters, emojis and article pics. 
These were all the features I was looking for but the app also gives you full control to create full custom color theme skins and crazy font options.
I definitely recommend you consider this app.
