Has Improved Greatly

Having read through many of the other reviews, it seems like many of the reviews here were from several years ago when this app may have still been finding its feet. That being said, the app as it is now is actually really great nowadays. The swipe text works like a charm, and the word suggestion works great most of the time. The built in dictionary lacks many of the forms of the plural, accusative, and both. However, these are easily added and easily used once added. Considering the relative obscurity of Esperanto, this keyboard is a much needed boon to Esperantujo.

Awkward with Duolingo

If you are learning Esperanto through Duolingo you need this keyboard. Diacriticals (especially ĉĝŝŭ) are important, they change word sounds and meanings, and they are absent from built-in mobile keyboards.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work integrate with other apps. After submitting a phrase in Duolingo the keyboard enlarges itself, extending offscreen, thus becoming unusable. I’ve found that by switching between various keyboards several times that it resets - but who has the patience for that, especially when doing timed challenges.

Apart from this fatal bug it is a bit clunky in format but OK. Good idea, flawed execution. Maybe this could be resolved with a simple update.

Pleased to have found this but …

When I use the keyboard to type input it will work okay but then the keyboard increases in size such that I can only see two or three letters. Very frustrating. I have to use another keyboard to complete the text when I return it *sometimes* has gone back to normal. I’m using an iPhone 14; just the same in my older iPhone. I have deleted the entire app and reinstalled it. Just the same. I’d love a fix please, particularly as it hasn’t been mentioned hitherto in the reviews. Unable to contact the developers direst so I’d appreciate an acknowledgment.
