Astounding!

Best handwriting keyboard -- not only iPadOS, better than anything on my Android and Windows tablets. Better than native Scribble. It is so customizable and works like I work/write. I doesn't get any better!

Saved my life! And my iPhone!

This app is the best thing that happened to me during the last 20 years of my life! Throughout these many years, I never felt comfortable writing with my fingers on screen keyboards. I always missed the Jot experience with a stylus on my Palm device. Finally I found a stylus that worked on the iPhone screen, which was a difficult task. Finding a handwriting recognition keyboard that works on all apps on iPhone was the next step. I’m so happy I ran into this one! And it seems to be the only one on the App Store. Now I can write my messages, notes, even calendar entries with my stylus, like writing by hand on paper! It is faster and more pleasant for me than the screen keyboard. I can even write all letters one over the other on the same location on the screen, just like Jot. For a multilingual person like me, it’s lovely that it supports many languages.

There are a few drawbacks, which, if corrected, would make a perfect app, especially in advance of the coming folding iPhone:
1. It requires internet connection; it’s not an offline app.
2. It doesn’t support predictive text; you have to finish the word to the last letter.
3. Although you can use the whole writing surface for each letter and write every letter one over the other on this same surface (just like Jot), the previous letters don’t disappear, and the canvas becomes black after a while. There should be the option for automatically erasing previous letters for people who are writing that way.

It’s now working for me, but these improvements would be very much appreciated.

Excellent

I love it!

Don’t understand app

After I picked my language I tried to start writing but it wouldn’t let me so I deleted the app and then reinstalled but it wouldn’t load so I couldn’t write also I search for free apps but it made me pay so I got very annoyed with that

Response from developer

If you encounter difficulties in enabling the app, please refer to the tutorial video provided within the app. Additionally, the keyboard service we offer incurs infrastructure and other expenses, which is why we provide upgrade plans to cover these costs.

Good but lacks features

This is only 1 of 2 apps that I am currently aware of that allows real time handwritten input to text conversion. The other one seems too inaccurate, though it has lots of features. This app could use the following: Much louder audible sounds for the virtual buttons. Resizable text entry box/area so there is more room to write vertically. This can be improved somewhat by using the Accessibility>Zoom feature but is not ideal and takes time to set up. More customizations or features in general like resizing and moving or changing the location of the virtual buttons. Lastly, if technically possible it would be amazing to write using two fingers simultaneously, just slightly offset in timing so one finger could finish just ahead of the other. I doubt this is technically and/or practically feasible but would be useful in theory.

Love it

This helps a lot who enjoys handwriting more.

This is most useless app

This is the most useless app I’ve ever used. It’s filled with nonstop, disturbing ads and has a poor, confusing interface. You can’t even try its features before paying, which makes no sense. It’s frustrating, money-oriented, and not worth installing at all.

എന്തൊക്കെ

better

Much better than Scribble and Selvy Penscript

Lifetime plan removal not good idea

Add lifetime because not worth for paying annual subscription

How do you activate it?

When I touch the Globe icon I don’t see it in the list. I have activated it

Response from developer

I’m sorry to hear that. To activate the keyboard, please follow the FAQ section in the app. If you successfully do it, please revisit the rating section.

Worst App

it ask you to track all ur record,then only u can use it…so many bugs…every time some clicking sound will come & will erase all ur data🤬

Never works offline

It’s good but, I’ve paid subscription for this app. But still I’ve to get connected to internet to write down my regional languages.

I need an app which could work offline.

Response from developer

Yes, this app requires an internet connection to function. There’s no mention of offline support within the app. I apologize for any confusion caused.

Annoying

It is annoying to everytime click on the word in upper bar or press spacebar for each word. It should directly type as in Google handwriting input

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we don’t want to copy Google’s approach. Our current functionality is based on millions of user feedback. I appreciate your ‘effort’ in giving a one-star review based solely on a functionality, rather than an issue. You proved it!

forcefully make it difficult to use default keyboards

This app make it so difficult to use the default keyboard once trail ends, they always push us to purchase it as if we cannot type anything without their keyboard, pretty bad way of pushing users to be honest

Sanskrit language

In this keyboard doesn’t have Sanskrit language and Sanskrit handwriting mode please update this language
