### 4/5 — Same problem

*2024-12-15*

I’m having the same problem as the recent Pct 12 review, where the glyphs are still accessible but no longer visible :( I love this keyboard, and would like to continue using it if you’re able to fix the problem.

### 2/5 — Non-uniliterals can’t be previewed

*2024-10-12*

The uniliteral signs work great (although there’s no way to vertically group the signs). However, the glyphs don’t appear in the Gardiner list as shown in the previews. Every sign appears in the MAN/WOMAN & OCCUPATIONS section but can only be seen as three vertical lines. Tapping any set of lines produces a glyph, and they are clearly in order, but it is not possible to see which glyph it is in advance. Additionally, none of the symbols appear in the other Gardiner groups like MAMMALS, BIRDS & PARTS. 

Clearly a lot of work went into this originally, and it seems it hasn’t been updated for a couple years, rendering it difficult to use.

### 5/5 — Little problem

*2024-07-01*

I have been using the app for years and simply love it. I also encountered a problem with the 17.4. 1 IOS update: the second keyboard mode, with all the biliteral/triliteral/etc. hieroglyphics, does not show the preview of the symbols but vertical white strokes that make it impossible to use. Thanks for the attention

### 5/5 — Great app, but just a little problem

*2024-05-11*

I’ve been using the app for years and I simply love it. Yet, I currently have a problem with the new 17.4.1 IOS update which is giving me issues; the second keyboard mode, the one with all the biliteral/trilliteral/etc hieroglyphics, just won’t show the preview of the symbols but all sorts of vertical white strokes which make the usage pretty uncomfortable and difficult.
Thanks for the attention 🙏🏻

### 5/5 — The best

*2022-10-11*

Best hieroglyph keyboard I’ve tried. It has them well organized with the uniliterals first and the rest by category. It even includes the keys for transliteration, which is very convenient.

### 4/5 — Please Update

*2021-03-06*

I am giving this application a 1 star rating due to the keyboards not popping up when I go to set them up. Please correct this issue and I will correct the review.

### 5/5 — Best Hieroglyph App

*2020-12-13*

If you have a casual interest in hieroglyphs, want to add them to texts or comments, or more scholarly interests, this app allows you to easily access and type.  Great work!

### 2/5 — 2 stars because it’s stupid

*2020-11-02*

That’s too far back.
An old Latin keyboard would be better

### 4/5 — Great Keyboard

*2020-08-10*

Thanks for the efforts of producing such a great keyboard. I noticed you have missed the symbol L1. It would be great if you add romanization to help find the symbol easily, similar to Japanese keyboards.

### 1/5 — Cancel

*2020-07-27*

I apologize but I’m unable to use the app. That’s my fault and not your own. Respectfully requesting refund. Thank you.
