## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t install

*2024-06-04*

😩

**Developer response:** Can you please contact us through the Feedback button in the Contact pane of the app so we can figure out what’s going wrong?

### 4/5 — Missing symbols

*2022-06-06*

There is no symbol for breathy voiced (ʱ or ◌̤), lateral release (ˡ), or nasal release (ⁿ). Besides that, this app is really great!

### 4/5 — Not fully compatible with iOS9

*2015-09-23*

This is a great app, but I tried to use it today in iOS 9 and found a glitch in its ability to print the "short capital i" character. Here's what I got:  [səkˌsɪŋkt] - no, wait, it works OK here, but when I used it today, it printed "s l ŋkt" instead. Tried it repeatedly with same results. Please check.

**Developer response:** The incorrect display of ɪ was a problem in a Chinese font in iOS 9 that some of your apps apparently were using. The problem has been fixed in iOS 10.

### 4/5 — Works great but could use some more symbols.

*2014-12-27*

This keyboard works great but is missing the combining breve symbol unicode #774 [0306]. This is a critical symbol to represent English diphthongs. If I’m missing where it is, please contact me.

Indeed, the keyboard does include the inverted #815 [032F] diacritic symbol. This is the symbol for “non-syllabic". For my usage, as an instructor of speech for actors, the above the letter breve seems more accurate and is more common in usage (at least for American and English speech and voice teachers).

**Developer response:** The requested character and several others were added in version 1.3 of the app.

### 5/5 — Another review from me! The Language Geek!

*2021-03-02*

Ok, so this app helped with lots of stuff. The times before this. I would use diacritics to try to help with the pronunciation of words. Like the when there is a (ə) I would use ê, or use the Azerbaijani keyboard. (ə vs ə). But with this keyboard. It is much quicker. I think some items are missing. Like the one that is supposed to make a English j sound. I tried combining d and ʒ to make it but I end up the dʒ, and they are not connected. And also other ones the has the ʒ letter. Or mabye make an diacritic attachment thing to attach a [ʒ] to the side of a letter. You are also missing [ʕ].
 This app is very amazing nonetheless. And it deserves 5 stars. And you deserve more attention than you have.

### 5/5 — Great app and great developer!

*2018-12-30*

The app is very useful for my needs. Initially, I had a bit of a problem getting the app to work, but that was resolved quickly. The developer is very helpful and quick to respond! The app costed a little more than I initially hoped for, but with this kind of support, it is well worth the cost. 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Exquisite!

*2018-05-10*

Great app! Just what I was looking for, though 3.99$ is a bit expensive, I have to say. I wish if it stays in App store and won’t be deleted or perished for any reason.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Your willingness to pay a little more makes it more likely that I can afford to keep this app in the store and up to date. IPA keyboards don’t sell in large numbers...

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2015-07-12*

My quality of life has now drastically improved. The only thing that would make it better is if it had the option to access the full IPA.

### 5/5 — Intuitive and fast

*2015-02-06*

Loved the keyboard layout and the intuitiveness. Easy to install and use. Thanks for making this keyboard.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2015-02-01*

This is such a great app. Great layout and easy to use. Now I just need this for my Mac!
