### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-01-17, version 2.3*

This app is absolutely fantastic and latest. Please add some letters like አይኗ አ እና እንደ አራት ነጥብ, እና ነጠላ ሰረዝ አይነት punctuation marks. Also keyboard theme preferences both የናንተ ምርጫዎች እና user የፈለገውን photo upload ማድረግ እንዲችል ብታደርጉል!!! Finally I’m excited for discovering iType Amharic.

### 4/5 — Good keyboard- I recommend others to use it

*2023-09-01, version 2.2*

It is a good keyboard. I preferred it from others. I like the default  letters  being the sixth fidels( sadis ). 
Improvements:
 Please remove the settings button next to space bar. I keep pressing it while trying to reach space bar using my left hand thumb.  Place the globe keyword change button at the bottom just like the one shown iPhone English keyboard. 
Include emoji button in place of the globe keyboard button. Please include Amharic letter  Aynu አ ( o ) in the keyboard as well.

### 5/5 — iType is not working since the new update

*2019-01-24, version 2.2*

Thank you for fixing the issue; much appreciated.

### 1/5 — TN fam

*2017-07-30, version 2.0.1*

There is no Amharic full stop (::) and comma (neTela-serez). 
Likewise, the important letter "Aynu A" (O) is not included.

### 1/5 — The privacy policies policy of the app is very risky

*2016-04-09, version 2.0.1*

I have been using this app for many years.  It's a wonderful app that can be used easily.  But, the current version doesn't work unless the user selects "full access" when downloading which allows the app developers to collect personal data including any texts typed, credit card numbers used and location information.  These causes a huge risk on the users.  Unless the developers of the "itype Amharic" app explicitly guarantee that they don't collect any user information and stop asking users to grant them "full access" on their devices I don't recommend this product for nobody.  I have deleted this app from my phone after I knew that they are very risky to use.

### 3/5 — It's missing some Amharic letters

*2016-03-27, version 2.0.1*

And when you select it, the title is too long, it should be as simple as "Amharic", there shouldn't be any letter missing

### 5/5 — In love with the new version

*2016-03-23, version 2.0.1*

I have been using this app since the first version was released. I am in love with the new version because it's seamless and functional across the board. I don't even notice that I'm using it while reading Amharic text on other apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on. I enjoy reading jokes and sayings which make a lot more sense in their original context. 😊I highly recommend it.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2015-12-14, version 2.0*

After I made updates the app it completely freezes I don't know what to do

### 4/5 — Sorry for my previous comment.

*2014-12-02, version 1.2.1*

This app is not bad at all. The more you play with it I'm sure you like it. 
I'm sure in the future there will be something better. 
I give it four out of five.

### 5/5 — Develop Amharic keyboard

*2014-10-03, version 1.2.1*

Like your app. Can you now go further and develop a keyboard that can be installed in ios8? Thanks
