This version is a shadow of the DEB version. Bring back customization of keys. All multiple custom keyboards. Allow predictive line above keyboard to be turned off. ### 3/5 — 求更新 *2024-07-31, version 1.0.4* 求更新 能適用ios17…或iphone15 因為英文鍵盤有bug… ### 4/5 — 神アプリなのだけど更新が *2023-12-19, version 1.0.4* QWERTY配列を5段にして5段目を数字にするというシンプルだけど使いやすい素晴らしいアプリなのだけど、iPhone15Promaxに機種変更したらバグってしまって残念。 こういったシンプルによいアプリはなかなか代用が見当たらないのでぜひまたサポートして欲しい。 ### 2/5 — Not working on ios 16 *2022-10-18, version 1.0.4* wish this was compatible with ios 16!! ### 3/5 — Türkçe dil *2021-11-01, version 1.0.4* Türkçe dil desteğini bekliyoruz ### 2/5 — Keyboard need a lot of work *2021-09-01* You need to copy the Samsung keyboard and how there’s respond because the number line the fifth line should never change it should stay numbers or unless you had a special symbol key and that’s what you need and put all the special characters on the keyboard key and the keyboard needs to be bigger. Check out AI type keyboard so you can see there and the ability to adjust the size of the keyboard and the keys. ### 3/5 — it didnt work *2019-10-18, version 1.0.3* i gibe it full access but the fifth row is not appearing can u plz help. ### 4/5 — add predictive option *2018-10-15, version 1.0.3* Auto predict option is missng ### 2/5 — Нет украинского *2017-08-27, version 1.0.3* Нет украинской и русской клавиатур и приложение их не видит. Удаляю ### 4/5 — Doesn't support other languages *2017-08-10, version 1.0.3* Please add support for the Russian language 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 ### 2/5 — Buggy and feature requests *2017-07-28, version 1.0.3* incorrectly spelled words arent getting replaced and its hard to press the right key. Maybe give users access to change the size of the keyboard. The buttons are too small. ### 3/5 — Glad it made it *2017-05-28, version 1.0.3* Maybe update to the same feature/functionality as v 3.2.2 if possible? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ios17 *2023-10-13, version 1.0.4* iphone 15pro 鍵盤錯位 ### 1/5 — No Adding languages !!! *2019-05-16, version 1.0.3* What about many languages Iwant to add Arabic languages Sorry , I deleted it but I will wait updates to fixing it ### 1/5 — color *2018-02-15, version 1.0.3* No Dark!? ### 1/5 — I miss SwipeSelection *2018-01-09, version 1.0.3* Like the other reviews, I downloaded this because I miss SwipeSelection so much from when I was jailbroken. I think it’s what I miss the most from being jailbroken. That functionality (scrolling left and right just wish the keyboard) is the only thing that actually seems to work here. There’s no autocorrect and the letters aren’t even recognized a lot of the time. I’m disappointed. ### 1/5 — Add mkre setting options *2017-09-22, version 1.0.3* i get that some peolle out there like the 5th row, but for others the swipe feature is all we want. The keyboard with the 5th row make the keys extremely small, and im uskng a 7+. The auto correct is terrible, but thankfully theres an option to turn that off. If you add most options in the settings alot of these issues would resolve themselves. Alsl even after turning the auto correct feature off i still get the annoing gray bare spelling words out, it just doesnt change them. Id just like to customize this keyboard so that it looks like tbe stock ios board but with the swipe feature. Apple 3D touch swipe feature is terrible, yours works great. Id happilygive more stars and promote it to anyone if given more setting options to eleminate these un wanted features(unwanted by me and possibly others). ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-06-09, version 1.0.3* Sometimes it shows up on the keyboard sometimes it dont it doesnt give you a bold version for the letters. I woukdnt recommend it and it doesnt have auto correct all I got it for was for the top row numbers ### 1/5 — Обман!!!! *2017-06-03, version 1.0.3* Списали 75₽ хотя про то что приложение платное нет ни одного слова! И в рассылках оно обозначено как бесплатное. ### 1/5 — Sorry I didn't believe bad reviews, but it IS indeed absolutely useless. *2017-05-28, version 1.0.3* May I apologise to all the people who left a bad review, I mistakenly thought it can't be that bad but it is. The keyboard is unresponsive, not accurately mapped for key presses in my opinion. It will not under any circumstances let you type a word not in the dictionary so anything like a nickname or a signature or special text will not work. It screws up predictive typing when you switch back to the Apple keyboard. Even when I turned it back to the English keyboard it still took over again. I am so disappointed as it was exactly what I needed, numbers and letters on the same screen, but it just doesn't work. I'm glad it was free when I downloaded! Thought I'd leave it on the iPad hoping updates would fix some problems, but somehow, which I am surprised at with Apple, it keeps taking over the keyboard and you have to uninstall to get rid of it. Shame. ### 1/5 — Обман *2017-05-28, version 1.0.3* Было написано бесплатно, а с карты списали 44 рубля. Обманщики. ### 1/5 — NO *2017-05-26, version 1.0.3* THERE IS NOW RUSSIAN language ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It is so COOL! *2022-07-23, version 1.0.4* I hope there's more language asap. ### 5/5 — 5 Stars for Creativity *2021-10-09, version 1.0.4* ✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦ I understand the concept the developer was going for with this customizable keyboard. Basically, do you have a few emoji, symbols or short phrases you type all the time that you're sick of typing out or searching for on a key map? Boom, then program a key on the iKeywi! Set it and forget it! To be honest, the idea is pretty unique. I look for stuff like this so my patience is longer than the typical user. Maybe this was a new iOS devs "first keyboard" project. Think of that way. If that's the case, it's fantastic! I'm keeping it. I'm not near done messing with it. Now I can type my diamond divider without switching keyboards or doing a copy/paste from another app! ✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦ ### 5/5 — iPhone 12 対応 *2021-01-22, version 1.0.4* iPhone 12 対応して頂きありがとうございました、また便利に使わせて頂きます。 ### 5/5 — 預設小寫 *2020-12-04, version 1.0.3* 可以設定切換過去時，預設為小寫嗎？謝謝 不太需要大寫的人留 ### 5/5 — Request *2018-08-26, version 1.0.3* please add the azerty key ### 5/5 — Add Russian *2018-03-25, version 1.0.3* $ ### 5/5 — Flawless 5-Row Keyboard for iPhone! 😃 *2017-06-30, version 1.0.3* iKeywi Bad Name - GREAT APP!! This App works as it should seamlessly. Despite OLD Negative Feedback Rating, I took a chance. Basic easy instructions; WITH a 5 second video for integration for iOS on your iPhone or iPad. You would have to be a moron not to understand. I am using this on a iPhone 6 iOS 10.3.2. Save yourself some time by switching between keyboard screens all the time, searching for the numbers, ampersand & comma's. Did I mention this is customizable so you can use it to suit your typing style needs 🙃! So my 5th row has @ ; ?:/"! Those are some of the thing I use the most & hate switching between screens to find them!! It does take getting used to.. I must write that. We are like trained pigs at this point. LOL! The other downside is the SPELL CHECKER leaves a lot to be desired at this time.. However, I do read by the developer they are working on this. Fingers crossed 🤞 5 ✨ Stars ### 5/5 — Please *2017-06-28, version 1.0.3* Please add Russian language ### 5/5 — Wonderful features, I wrote this review using this app *2017-06-18, version 1.0.3* Original review on 18 June 2017 Very helpful extra row with the customized punctuation symbols on my 5th row. It is helpful on long texts and for emails. It is an app I would like to see updated and rewritten for iOS 11.0 and up. If the original developer of this app has abandoned this keyboard app I would like Apple to buy the copyrights to it and then build it into their iOS default keyboard. ### 5/5 — So glad to have this app again. *2017-05-26, version 1.0.3* Keys Review I am so glad to find this app. I have missed it so much. I had it when my phone was jail broken and used it constantly. My favorite feature is the ability to slide my finger across the keyboard to move the cursor to the desired location. I always have such trouble using the Apple magnifying glass. I can never get it to the right spot without a lot of anx. There are a couple of things that you need to know to get the most use out of this app. First, there are some complaints about the keyboard not having the ability to dictate using your voice. The easiest way to resolve this is to have multiple keyboards available when you touch the "world" next to the space bar. You do this by going to settings/general/keyboard/keyboards to add and organize the order that the keyboards will show up through the cycle. I have iKeywi first, then English second, then Emoji third. When I want to use voice to dictate I just touch the "world" and cycle through to the English keyboard. Press it two more times and I'm back to the iKeywi board. This is the same process I would use if I wanted an emoji. Second, there are some complaints about the accuracy of the keyboard. I have noticed that since they have added a fifth row, the other keys are smaller and I have to pay a little closer attention when I am typing the keys in order to hit the correct ones. As long as I pay attention I don't seem to have any problems. This is a fantastic app and I wanted to give some insights so that others could enjoy it as much as I do. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
