### 3/5 — Great until now

*2023-05-05, version 2.4.5*

I love this keyboard and have used for years. I love the predictive text. But recently the app freezes and I have to delete and redownload. When I did that this last week now the predictive text won’t work. 

I’ve reached out to the support for the app via Facebook and telegram but no reply. 

I hope this bug gets resolved because it is a great keyboard

### 4/5 — Excellent app but a bug

*2022-09-27, version 2.4.4*

This is a really great app that is simple to install and use. The Khmer font is clear and subscripts easy to insert. However there is a bug: if you copy any Khmer text into your typing it turns off predictive text. You have to exit the app you are using, toggle off allow full access in settings, toggle back on then start anew in the app you want to use.

### 1/5 — Beug souvent

*2021-01-20, version 2.3.3*

C’est dommage que ça beug souvent, le clavier se met à changer des lettres khmères aux lettres latins sans raisons. 
C’est hyper chiant et dérangeant car il faut à chaque fois supprimer et réinstaller. Parfois ça beug plusieurs fois de suite. Très déçue mais autrement quand tout fonctionne, il est top.
