### 5/5 — cool app

*2022-11-22, version 5.0.5*

This is a very useful and fun app. It helps me communicate with my friends and family in my native language and not forget how to write in Amharic. Thank you for your hard work.🙏🏾

### 5/5 — Dear ቃል

*2021-12-08, version 5.0.4*

Thank you for the work that you do. I have a suggestion for a bug fix. So when ever you write a word with letters in the same family next to each other. It won’t allow you to keep the first word for example ነ ን  to write that, I had to do space the next word. 

Thanks again

### 5/5 — Yesssssssss. Thank you for this feature!

*2021-08-04, version 5.0.2*

Had me at “Space with two points” 
People tend to forget it and I love how this app appreciates it ❤️‍🔥

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2021-06-15, version 5.0.2*

So happy that I came across this app, it’s so good! And above all it’s free and does EVERYTHING you want to write. I love the fact that you can use English alphabets to write geez fidels. My previous app didn’t do that!

One criticism is in the name, it should say Geez not Amharic.

### 4/5 — It’s good To text in Amharic

### 1/5 — Missing words

*2025-09-01, version 5.0.5*

This app is missing some letters, and because of that, it’s hard to write a complete message without errors.

### 1/5 — Difficult

*2021-04-23, version 5.0.2*

What an incredibly difficult, stupid platform! 
Get rid of it. If you can’t improve it.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2021-02-03, version 5.0.2*

Great app to start off with. I’ve been using it for some time now. Unfortunately following their latest update, it has rendered the app completely useless. I can no longer use the Amharic text feature.

### 1/5 — Major Bug!!! ተጠንቀቁ::

*2021-01-07, version 5.0.1*

ይህ አፕ መጀመሪያ ላይ  ጥሩ ሆኖ ሳለ አሁን ግን ሌብነት ጀምረዋል ። ስልካችሁ ውስጥ ያለውን ኮንታክቶችንና የግል ጉዳዮች ላይ ገብተን እንደፈለግን ለማድረግ ካልፈቀዳችሁልን በከፈላችሁበት አፕ ላይ የመጠቀም መብት የላችሁም ነው የሚሉት። ቃል አፕን ደምስሼ በፊደል እየፃፍኩ ነው። I’m going report to apple about this malware.

### 1/5 — YA

*2021-01-07, version 5.0.1*

This is the worst Amharic keyboard. When you type a letter you have to hold it so it could give you the option that you need to input the proper letter you want to use, when you select the proper letter it enters the word that it think you are trying to type and there is no way to correct it.

### 1/5 — Handwriting a bust and not showing on my IPad

*2020-06-12, version 4.4.3*

The enable handwriting add on is not working. The predictive words do not match what I wrote. Also the App doesn’t appear on my IPad.

### 1/5 — Totally dysfunctional

*2018-09-21, version 4.4.0*

Totally useless. It doesn’t even appear in Keyboard settings.

### 1/5 — Worst ever

*2017-06-21, version 3.3.0*

They asked for my phone number when I was trying to install it

### 2/5 — This app is not showing on iphone setting

*2021-08-29, version 5.0.2*

First of all the app is not bad but Why the app not showing in app setting.. i wonder why because i can't control it accessing many things.. they can access everything. even though on app store they say data is not collected but that is not true.  I find out my battery is says kal keboard used 10 % back ground activity today. I don't use this keyboard for over a month.  How they use it when my iphone setting background activity is turned off?? This app is not trusted. No apps can do background activity when background activity on iphone setting turned off. Another problem when i type some letters if it is the same alphabet next to each other it dosn't work the next letter/ fidel. I will still use this app if it is trusted... and show app in iphone setting...
