Doesn’t work on iPad

App is missing several necessary functional buttons, “save” being the most frustrating. You can type all you want into the new keyboard window, but there is no way to know if it’s going to populate the preview keyboard, save your changes, or even be accessible in the ipad’s settings later. The only keyboard that will load when adding it in Settings is “English,” which isn’t an available keyboard in the app, and doesn’t show up when trying to switch keyboards later.

한글 fix

This app is really cool but needs some improvement, like a second layout key to separate numbers from letters, and fix Hangul characters, if I want to type for example “안녕하세요” which comes out as “ㅇㅏㄴㄴㅕㅇㅎㅏㅅㅔㅇㅛ“
I’d have to create a separate key for all of these,
like “안 녕 하 세 요” those are my only two complaints.

Hands-down the BEST keyboard app out there!

This app let me make custom keyboards for whatever language im learning/conscripts im adapting because im a huge polyglot, but id love support for korean because on the usual iphone keyboard its like 안녕하세요, but i made a new simplified version of the 한국어 keyboard and it comes out like this: ㅇㅏㄴㄴㅕㅇㅎㅏㅅㅔㅇㅛ, do take this issue to heart and fix it pls. Thanks!

Works very well for free!

Thanks for this app! It works better than the others that cost money!

Layout editing doesn't save

I tried editing the layout, and when I checked another layout, the layout wasn't there when I clicked back! This is very buggy overall, you can click on any other menu and your layout disappears! This is a scam!
