Since version 4 you are now able to see all the hints above the letter so you can better find it. ### 1/5 — Just missing 1 thing *2024-04-16* I use the tap and hold for symbol feature a lot and for some reason they left out the exclamation point from the main letter group screen. I can get period and question but now i have to go to the 123 menu just to get the exclamation point. Defeats the purpose of this app for me. Wish they would add it. Even better would be to allow customizable symbols on the letters. PLEASE fix this. **Developer response:** Exclamation mark has always been under period as well. I made the visibility for it better now. If you still don't like it, you can place it elsewhere via custom layout. ### 1/5 — Failed *2024-03-03, version 3.3* Failed already, leaked out typing ### 2/5 — So close *2023-10-23* its perfect layout to make the transiti9n from androidn and the ease of ty08ng on that platform. But the reaon killer is it seems to lack auto-correct. this was typed with making only oje correct8on 5hat woule have been impossible to read. Bummer, loking for a refund. **Developer response:** Version 4 should have a massive improvement to auto-correct! ### 2/5 — Not supported in other apps l. *2023-08-30* This app didn’t support to open it’s keyboard2 in other some important apps such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. Even it didn’t work in Search box on App Store app. So I uninstalled it from my iPhone. Anyway, I don’t like Keyboard2 lookout design and it is different than iPhone’s stock keyboard design. I love the iPhone stock keyboard design. **Developer response:** It works but it needs full access to be given by you in the settings. This is something IOS requires so the keyboard could work in other apps (including search) as well. App settings have now clear instructions and explanations since version 4. ### 2/5 — A 14 Year Step Backward? *2023-08-03* Unless I completely missed a setting somewhere or there was an install issue twice, this keyboard does not appear to have swipe typing, which is a massive step in the wrong direction. I've been looking for a long press keyboard having come from Android but without swiping, no amount of long press keys will make up for time lost pecking at the keyboard. I contacted the developers to see if I was missing something but have yet to receive a response so I've requested a refund from Apple. If it does have swipe/slide typing I'll certainly switch but until then I can't do it. **Developer response:** Swipe-typing is now included in the keyboard. ### 3/5 — No swipe to text. Why? *2024-07-09* Im giving this an honest go. But No swipe to text when its a paid keyboard. is usually a deal breaker for me ### 3/5 — I would very much like scaling options *2024-01-21* Does not really frame itself well compared to other keyboards on ipad. Ipad is odd but at least a few options for scaling on all devices would be appreciated. Options i'd like added: -height -width of keys -split keyboard -additional option/action keys along bottom, and layouts -computer keyboard keys like "ctrl" "tab" **Developer response:** Keyboard height customization is planned and will be added soon. ### 3/5 — Good but no auto correct etc *2023-04-04, version 2.0* predictions are terrible and it cant figure out the word most times even with most of the word completed. It also has no auto correct which i didn't notice before purchasing. ### 4/5 — Accurate and handy. No swipe. *2024-07-31* Everything about this keyboard is fantastic. But there is no option to swipe-to-type. Not a deal breaker, just dissapointing. **Developer response:** This is now available since version 4. Cheers! :) ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-13* This developer listens to users and adjusts to their needs. Great keyboard and even has options for pink! Amazing! **Developer response:** Swipe-typing is now available since version 4. More themes will be added soon. Pink included :) ### 5/5 — Seemingly high quality keyboard *2024-06-22* So far its been good, the key spacing is almost identical to the stock apple keyboard so its not too hard to switch to and the option to hold down on a key to get alternate symbols (for example, hold k or l to get brackets) makes typing a lot faster for me. The emoji search just doesn't work, idk why it just doesnt let me search. I didn't download any of the autocorrect languages and the app has yet to attempt to connect to the internet which is good. With a keyboard that would know everything im typing, its important that its not randomly connecting to the internet so i know its not uploading anything im typing. So far a great keyboard, and as long as it never attempts to connect to the internet (unless im downloading a new language) I would recommend it! One thing i would like is an option to make the keys/entire keyboard taller to give more room for each key so its easier to type, but the layout works now for what it is ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2023-07-08* At last a decent third party keyboard for iPhone. I’ve been searching for one with the long press option, and this is the BEST that I have found!!!! ### 5/5 — Great so far! *2023-04-22* Really liking it so far. Saw it on Reddit as well. Thx!! ### 5/5 — Help *2023-04-11* It doesn't seem to work with messaging. It's almost perfect. It just needs some tweaks. **Developer response:** Hey! It is related with not giving full access to the keyboard2 app. Since version 4 users should be better informed about this now. ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2023-02-26* Found this after searching for two weeks for a long press keyboard for iPhone. Ran across a link in a Reddit. The AppStore buries it even on a direct title search. My only complaint is I wish I could change location on long press characters but still far and ahead of any other iPhone keyboard **Developer response:** Hey! Changing location for long press characters is now possible since version 4 by extending the layout. ### 5/5 — Thank you for this! *2023-01-09* I was feeling lost without the long press feature and came across your Reddit post about this keyboard. Thank you for making this! ### 4/5 — No option to swipe *2024-03-16* It is so close to perfect. There are long press symbols, which is why I'm here (thanks reddit), but no swipe typing and I need it. If you don't swipe you will probably love it though. Also, I wish there were a pink theme option. Really well done though, not for me unfortunately. **Developer response:** Swipe-typing is now available since version 4. More themes will be added soon. Pink included :) ### 4/5 — Needs autocorrect *2023-12-08* I like just about everything else, but a comma could be added near the emoji key. I had been searching for a good keyboard since switching over from android and this is the best one I've found. But it definitely needs autocorrect and better predictive texts. **Developer response:** Autocorrect and predictions got a massive update since version 4! :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
