### 3/5 — Please update the app

*2025-09-26, version 1.5.7*

im using for 6 years

### 3/5 — Now required to pay

*2025-09-10, version 1.5.7*

I have been using this app for too many years to count. It has its bugs, but it has been so helpful because it translates in the text box for you so you don’t have to copy and paste from another app. All of a sudden I went to use it today and it is requiring a paid subscription for the basic functions. Not cool.

### 4/5 — Я не могу установить голубую клавиатуру. Не работает Превью.Помогите!!!!!

### 2/5 — Glitchy but hopeful

*2024-11-30, version 1.5.7*

Good app in theory. I’m ok paying for the live translation but I’m constantly getting logged out and only want to see the live translation (no predictive text). Even a feature to disable predictive text but does work.

### 3/5 — Feedback

*2022-01-15, version 1.5.7*

The keyboard works pretty well. It would be great to see haptic feedback as a setting option. It also looks like I can't save my custom theme.

### 1/5 — Mega schlecht

*2022-09-14, version 1.5.7*

Ich finde es schon eine Frechheit. In der Beschreibung steht man kann eigene Fotos verwenden wenn ich drauf klicke passiert überhaupt nichts und dann auch noch acht Euro verlangen ist eine reine abzocke bin Mega enttäuscht von dieser App werde ich lieber wieder zu meiner anderen App wechseln da ich schon drauf habe war auch alles funktioniert, ohne dass ich etwas zahlen muss und das ist die Gboard app

### 1/5 — NO PERMITE USARLO

*2021-06-07, version 1.5.7*

Al abrir la app sale un mensaje para que te suscribas con un periodo de prueba de 7 días…no hay manera de saltárselo por lo que tienes que suscribirte, y si se te olvida darte de baja, a los 7 días te cobrarán la anualidad….y SIN PODER PROBARLO!!

No pierdas el tiempo con esto.

### 1/5 — É una finta gratuita

*2021-05-14, version 1.5.7*

Lo scarico è gratuito ma poi subito chiede di abbonarsi. La tastiera base è gratuita ma non hai modo di accedere alla parte emoji ma neanche alle impostazioni basilari

### 1/5 — Proğrammm

*2021-03-26, version 1.5.7*

Proğram çalışmıyor 66 TL para ödediğim halde

### 5/5 — Please add Cantonese language translation

*2024-08-21, version 1.5.7*

Thank u~

### 5/5 — Saçma yorumlar yapmayın

*2022-02-22, version 1.5.7*

Uygulama kredi kartı bilgisi istemiyor
O kredi kartını yada e postanı hızlı girmen için zorunlu değil

### 5/5 — Keyboard+

*2022-02-15*

Лучшая клавиатура для айфона. 
Если бы не доставала постоянно своими идиотскими подсказками и "тыканьем" - было бы совсем хорошо. 
Автор, люди открывают клавиатуру чтобы что-то написать. НЕ НУЖНО им в этот момент выводить дебильный баннер.

### 5/5 — Ottima tastiera 🤩

*2021-11-21, version 1.5.7*

Una tastiera eccezionale! Da migliorare un pochino la risposta della pressione dei tasti che a volte manca qualche inserimento... Per il resto ha delle funzioni eccezionali!!! Anche gli sfondi animati sono molto belli! Bravi avete fatto un'ottimo prodotto!!! Spero che presto venga aggiunto il feedback aptico perché una volta abituati a quella sensazione non è facile farne a meno! Non vorrei dover rinunciare per questo a quest'ottima tastiera, ma per me quella sensazione tattile è troppo importante... Aiuta a scrivere senza guardare... Complimenti!!! ✨

### 5/5 — guzel

*2021-11-19, version 1.5.7*
