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. ### 2/5 — How do you activate it? *2025-05-16* When I touch the Globe icon I don’t see it in the list. I have activated it **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — Never works offline *2025-03-27* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — Sanskrit language *2024-11-11, version 5.6* In this keyboard doesn’t have Sanskrit language and Sanskrit handwriting mode please update this language ### 4/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP *2023-12-03* I strongly do not recommend this app, either in the free version or in purchase mode version . I used this app in free mode and found that the data sheet is getting deleted without any activity while using the app. Even after purchasing the app, the same phenomena repeatedly occurred. I sent a number of emails to Customer Care repeatedly for help with detailed information, videos and screenshots but didn't receive any help regarding the issues. It all fell on deaf ears. I have stopped using the app despite its purchase to avoid the headache of frequent-abrupt deleting of crucial data and continuous error pop-ups while using the keyboard. I would honestly recommend not to purchase the app but search for some other option (keyboard app) which would actually work. ### 4/5 — Si Dharmendra Kumar saroj *2023-04-17* I have been a user of google indic keyboard for a long time, recently i am buy apple iped I want install google indic keyboard application in apple iped Help me developer ### 5/5 — Review *2022-09-15, version 5.4* The app is very useful and user friendly. ### 5/5 — Superb *2022-09-04, version 5.4* Easy access Enjoy writing.

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. ### 1/5 — Lifetime plan removal not good idea *2025-06-15, version 7.1.1* Add lifetime because not worth for paying annual subscription ### 1/5 — Worst App *2025-03-27, version 6.1* 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🤬 ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-02-10* 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 **Developer response:** 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.
