### 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.

### 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.

### 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 — 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Great keyboard!

*2020-05-29*

It took me a while to actually understand the instructions, but that’s my fault  on my end ^^” 

Ive been working on a mini side project with appearances of Egyptian gods, and when I was writing some scripts, I was trying to find an efficient keyboard to type out hieroglyphics and Coptic, and this is the best one so far!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much!! I appreciate the feedback.

### 5/5 — Great app developed by an individual with great passion for Egyptology and hieroglyphics!

You can tell that a lot of love went into the development of this app. It’s an excellent resource to have for anyone with interest in ancient Egypt

**Developer response:** Thank you! 😊🙏

### 5/5 — Best app for an authentic hieroglyph keyboard!

*2020-05-23*

It was super easy to install and use right away! Select from basic alphabet 𓃀𓂋𓇋𓃭𓇋𓄿𓈖𓏏 or the full Gardiner list! 𓄫𓄣𓏇𓇳𓆓𓏏𓎛𓐍𓎛 💖𓏞 Yes, really!!! Translation too! There is more I haven’t even played with yet. Well worth the price, great 𓎿𓎿𓎿𓁨 I have an old iPhone 7.

**Developer response:** I’m glad you enjoy it!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-05-22, version 1.0*

The keyboard is very easy to use! This is going to make my life easier (I use hieroglyphics a lot!)!!

**Developer response:** I’m happy to hear that!
