The keyboard doesn’t work outside the app itself, it flashes onto the screen then off again. The app itself is inconsistent. I’d guess this whole project is abandoned but was left up as a money grab. As someone who with mobility issues that was really looking forward yo this i feel my money was stolen and i was scammed. ### 5/5 — Great potential *2022-11-20* This app is great. Don't be put off by the thought of learning something new - I'm only a day in and already able to type things albeit slowly. Some letters are already in muscle memory. ### 1/5 — In-swipe DOESN'T WORK *2021-02-27, version 2.2.5* I'm only at the tutorial step just after purchasing the app and it's not working!!! Don't buy this app it's not worth it ### 4/5 — Fewer typos *2020-07-14* This is my go-to keyboard now. It's dramatically reduced the number of typos I had with other keyboards. My only wish is that there were an option to set the three dots to a permanent position so they didn't keep moving all over the screen. I think I could double my typing speed if that were possible. ### 5/5 — For some reason, keyboard height doesn’t work *2020-06-15* I tried refreshing the app, deleting and reinstalling, removing and adding the keyboard, and rebooting my device, but the keyboard height still stays in place **Developer response:** Hi Rehpotsirhcz, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you reach out to contact@dotkeyboard.com we’ll be able to help you better. When reaching out, please help us understand what has happened when you resize the keyboard in settings and if you have seen that reflected in practice mode at all. Kind regards, The DOTKey Team ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-04-17, version 2.2.4* I’ve thoroughly enjoyed DOTKey so far! I’ve put about 7 hours into, at and I’m up to about 38 words per minute. It's becoming pretty natural to use! I’m excited to try it out on bigger projects. My biggest issues: 1) The app is missing functionality with older devices. I have an older MacBook (2011) that can’t update beyond MacOS 10.13, and as a result, can’t get the companion app for my computer that requires a higher OS to download. And there’s no Bluetooth one-time connect feature from my iPhone to my Mac. I wish I could use this app with my older computer! (Or maybe I just need to stop being a cheapskate and get a new computer 😂) 2) My best WPM score sometimes doesn't update when I beat it (I've scored 38WPM and it still only says I got lower than that...) 3) I wish the practice feature had a way to practice punctuation typing/capital letters/normal sentences rather than just the lowercase letters and numbers. But beyond that, I’m extremely happy about this keyboard, and I’m excited to see where it gets me! ### 5/5 — Best keyboard ever BUT were is arabic ! *2020-04-13* because all leters actually is in your mind not in your keyboard just like writing. . . Also please add (arabic and kurdish) thanks ### 5/5 — So cool! *2020-04-12* This app is super cool. I just got it and started practicing like half an hour ago and I really like it. It’s a very cool and even though it takes a bit of memorizing and practicing, I think it will definitely a better alternative to a keyboard once I get good at it. ### 2/5 — Novel, but not ergonomically practical *2020-04-02* It’s an interesting idea, and it’s honestly kind of fun to play with. But on an iPhone, it’s not practical to actually have your device in a position very much of the time to make this useful in actual practice. **Developer response:** Hi Ehler4, Thank you for your interest in DOTKey! We regret that your particular use case is not optimal for using DOTKey, but respectfully disagree with your assessment that it is not ergonomically practical. Whether you are holding your phone with one hand, while typing with the other - or using the Solo feature with your device laying flat as you type on your computer; DOTKey offers greater speed, comfort, and accuracy than a traditional onscreen keyboard. A great many "thumb typists" utilize two hands to both hold their phone and type, and Swype users will hold their phone with one hand while typing with the other when trying to do anything more than a sentence or two. In both of these situations users of traditional keyboards must stare at their hands and depend on auto correct to save them. DOTKey puts an end to that ridiculousness. ### 1/5 — Does NOT work *2019-09-29* Just recently downloaded the app to my iPhone X and it does NOT work. I am still stuck in the "tutorial" because I can't get through it without the app crashing on me. 1. Takes multiple tries for the initial calibration to complete. I have to literally tap with my three fingers multiple times until the app finally decides to recognize my three-finger tap. 2. The part where the app walks you through the 6 different gestures work great. I can type "hello" perfectly. But I can't do the three-finger swipe gesture to write a capital letter after that. Every time I try to swipe up with my three fingers, the app just goes into recalibration mode - the catch, it doesn't calibrate correctly. The dots end up overlapping each other, and after several tries of untangling them back to "normal" positions, the app gives up and crashes. When I restart the app, it's back to square one. Devs, please fix these issues because I'd love to try this app out - but right now I am unable to do anything besides typing "hello". **Developer response:** Hi Adult_Jesus, We are sorry for the difficulty you are having. Can you please update to the latest version and let us know at contact@dotkeyboard.com if you are still having troubles? We are dedicated to getting you up and running. Thanks! -The DOTKey Team ## Frequently asked questions about DOTKey ### What is DOTKey? DOTKey is a novel typing application that provides a user-friendly experience by adjusting to your hand.
