KeyWi is a custom keyboard for your iOS device that allows you to type using your computer’s physical keyboard. + How does it work? After you install the KeyWi keyboard you simply switch to it (the same way you would switch to the emoji keyboard for example) and go to the address provided by the keyboard using your computer’s web browser. Once the connection between the keyboard and the computer’s web browser is established you will be able to type using your computer’s keyboard and what you type will appear on the iPhone. Make sure your device and computer are on the SAME wifi network. Don’t worry everything that you type is PRIVATE as it is only sent from computer to device using your LOCAL wifi network. What you type NEVER leaves your local wifi network and never goes over the internet. + Installation instructions: You first need to install the keyboard on your iOS device: Open Settings app > General > Keyboards > Add new keyboard > 'KeyWi'. Then tap on the 'KeyWi' keyboard again and allow 'Full Access'. This allows the app to communicate over your wifi network. Again, what you type is only sent from your computer to the device and it never travels over the internet and never gets stored anywhere + What you CAN do with KeyWi - Type any character in any language - Send emojis (In-app purchase required) - Move the cursor forward and backwards - Delete backwards + What you CAN’T do with KeyWi - Select text. Once you enter text you can delete backwards, move the position of the cursor but you can’t select text - Interact with the application UI. We hope KeyWi will be very useful to you!!

It just searched out my iPhone and found in quickly. You have the choice to write as you type, which has zero lag. You can also "write and send," which allows you to cut and paste text off of your PC. This is clearly a five-star app. I bought the emojis just to support the developer(s). ### 4/5 — The Almost perfect app *2021-07-14, version 1.0* What an almost perfect app with just one little problem for me. When using the send to device feature I can not figure out how many characters and words I'm allowed to include per entry before the app cut out. ### 4/5 — Beat Keyboard Utility Ever at your fingertips!!! *2021-03-11, version 1.0* Update: App is still working well and I’m hoping the developer will update it. This is one of a handful of apps I have seen like this and none of them have been recently updated. I hope the developer can provide a response of status. I have been looking for a solution like this but just didn’t know that this was the right tool for the job! It completely solves the need to type on my laptop and answer a message on my phone. Not just that but also for imputing large amounts of text without having to carry both my laptop AND a separate keyboard especially when the one on your laptop or desktop is right there are your fingertips!!! Kudos to the developer and I hope this keep this app updated!!! ### 5/5 — Genius app - try it out!! *2019-11-05, version 1.0* I say this without a hint of irony, that I truly hope the devs offer a paid version to support development of this app. Criminally underrated and unknown. This is one of the best apps you can install on any iOS device. It basically allows you to use any keyboard directly with your iPhone or iPad: a problem I’ve been trying to solve for years. Thank you so much for making this!! If you’re getting an “error” on your keyboard, make sure “Allow full access” is on in your keyboard settings for KeyWi. ### 3/5 — Works but crazy bug... *2019-10-13, version 1.0* At least for me if you keep opening and closing this keyboard within the same app the amount of space that the KeyWi app takes up becomes larger and larger and it keeps incrementally moving up the screen until eventually it takes up the whole screen and then you actually can't press anything to get out of it other than closing the app altogether. Then it resets back to being normal size when you re-open and then it'll start doing the same thing when you start switching back and forth between the regular keyboard and the KeyWi keyboard. I'm using KeyWi as I write this review and it works amazingly. Just need this bug fixed. ### 5/5 — Allows easy use of computer keyboard for typing *2018-08-25, version 1.0* I'm at my desktop computer a lot of the day and the KeyWi Keyboard makes it so easy to use my computer keyboard to type input into my iPhone. I'm also visually impaired and depend on Voiceover to use my iPhone and KeyWi is totally accessible with Voiceover. Great job on this app! **Developer response:** THANKS so much for your review! We are very glad to hear the app has been useful to you! These reviews keep us motivated building our apps. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Five Stars *2018-05-02, version 1.0* Amazing convenient app. Very easy to set up. ### 2/5 — Useless *2017-11-14, version 1.0* You have to look at your Phone screen to see the message(s) you received then also having to send it by tapping the send button on your phone, this app is virtually a Bluetooth keyboard with the trouble of having to connect to their website. If the devs were to make it so the chat showed on the page this app would be awsome, but until then I would not recommend it. ### 3/5 — Great idea *2017-03-12, version 1.0* It is a great idea and it would definitely be worth 5 stars. However, there are bugs that cause the computer to randomly disconnect to the iPad and I have to restart the apps. Otherwise, it is a great idea but needs work ## Frequently asked questions about KeyWi Keyboard ### How do I install KeyWi keyboard?
