It’s perfect thanks!

This app doesn’t tell you how to use.  Keyboard on watch

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-25, version 2024.5*

Tried emailing for support and got no response.  Definitely did not work at all for us.

### 1/5 — Not free.

*2026-04-21*

Advertises as free but you can’t even use it without paying. Such a shame as it was free before.

### 1/5 — Don't get

This app use to be free but now you have to pay to use the keyboard waste of space

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-03-18, version 2024.5*

Absolutely rubbish

### 1/5 — Not a replacement for your default input.

*2026-03-09, version 2024.5*

The only way to use this keyboard is in its own app or apps that were specifically made for it… you cannot use it in the Apple Messages app or any other app.  I wish i knew this before paid the 7.99 for it.  Very disappointed and not worth it at all.
