Response from developer

Hi Yiyu. Sorry about that – I changed the pricing model awhile back. Thanks!

iPad handling is stills lacking

Please make the keyboard center in the pop out mode on the iPad.
It is just a small fix but would make it actually useful..

びっくりした

英語の入力がめちゃくちゃ早くなってびっくり。
日本語への変換も出来れば本当に便利なのに…
今は日本語はATOK、英語はHEROです。
慣れてしまうと戻れません。
☆-1は日本語対応への期待分

Not terrible but has some quirks still

tilt to move keyboard doesn't seem to work on ipad pro. Arrows to move keyboard appear in wrong places sometimes. I really wish it would save last location of keyboard. Its really snnoying to have to kerp moving it

Response from developer

Hi Draep. Thanks for the feedback! I must admit I did focus on iPhone more than iPad (Apple requires it work on both), but I like your idea of having it "stick" to your chosen side, especially on iPad. Makes sense - thanks!
