Trying to type even simple words with this keyboard is really frustrating. It seems to have every combination of letters but the combination you need. ### 3/5 — Restore purchase *2025-01-22, version 2.4.2* It is very disturbing that every time need to restore purchase ### 4/5 — Okay *2024-12-05, version 2.4.2* O ### 3/5 — Malayalam typing *2023-12-12* Google key board is much better than this. Especially the handwritten mode. The word predictability is poor. But if you want to just type a few line in Malayalam, this is ok ### 2/5 — Not expected of app when you pay for it *2023-07-30* Its irritating that even after purchase frequently app asks you in middle of typing “are you s premium member? We have to give option that already purchased make add free …but some time even after doing this,it some time doesn’t work…you have to close and open again 🤯 ### 4/5 — Good app *2023-06-13* App is really good and helpful. Something to fix: the settings don’t work when I’m using it on iPad. For example, I want to keep handwriting as default when using Manglish, but that feature doesn’t get turned on. ### 3/5 — Pop up messages *2023-06-04* Even after purchasing the app it popping up to ask to purchase pro version while using voice to text method, it irritates me alot, please do something to make changes ### 3/5 — Voice Typing though the keyboard will make it better *2023-04-19, version 2.4.2* Need to add the voice typing to the keyboard. Voice typing now takes you to the website and then user have to copy and paste. This is causing inconvenience. Overall app is good adding direct voice typing through keyboard will make it better ### 3/5 — Voice typing doesn’t work. *2023-04-02, version 2.4.2* Voice typing seems not working on I Phone 13. Otherwise good ### 3/5 — Always showing message *2023-02-28, version 2.4.2* Repeatedly showing Continue with Premium/ Continue with ads. It’s very much disturbing. Please correct it ### 3/5 — Not user friendly *2022-12-11, version 2.4.1* Not able to write the exact Malayalam word ### 4/5 — Use of Manglish *2022-10-31, version 2.4.1* It is very much useful to a large number of people using this very useful App. Thanks a lot for the convenience provided . ### 2/5 — മനൊഹരം ആനു *2022-10-07, version 2.4.1* ണന്നയി വെഗതില് എഴുതന് പട്ടുന്നുണ്ടു !! ലെഷം വിയര്ക്കും എന്നെയുല്ലു !! ### 2/5 — After IOS 16 update manglish keyboard is full of errors *2022-09-15, version 2.4.1* IOS 16 update manglish keyboard is full of errors ### 2/5 — Typing on bluetooth keyboard soesn’t give me malayalam words *2022-08-29, version 2.4.1* How do i type on bluetooth keyboard and pressing space bar turns the manglish to malayalam? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless app *2025-05-29, version 2.4.2* Nothing works ### 1/5 — It’s asking premium request even after purchase *2023-12-22, version 2.4.2* On every voice note it’s asking for purchase or restore it’s getting irritated. Need so huge improvement and big fixes ### 1/5 — Pathetic performance *2022-09-20, version 2.4.1* App is literally worse even subscribed to premium Voice to text doesn’t works perfect and in every use asks to buy premium even if it’s purchased,it seriously kills the time and patience ### 1/5 — Not safe *2022-08-25, version 2.4.1* This app is asking to allow full access to your device. Is it a Keybord or something else? Developer should take good action on this. Don't tresspass on user's privacy. ### 1/5 — Add free premium version!!!!! *2022-08-25, version 2.4.1* Every time I open the app, it asks for upgrade to the paid version, even its a premium(paid) version. Developers have to help improve this problem ### 1/5 — Full access of our phone ? For what ?? *2022-07-05* beware guys.. I bought Iphone for security purpose, And dum**ucks asking me to grand full access of my phone.. for what ??? Why you people need access of my photos , videos and all ??? For using keyboard u need videos, pictures and my contacts etc ??? App creator : Arshad, man.. whats this ?? Why you need to collect our data ?? **Developer response:** Dear user , Manglish doesn’t save any personal information user has typed on the keyboard. Full access is required to connect the keyboard to internet in order to transliterate the words in real time. Handwriting feature works completely offline and you can use that without granting full access. Hopes that works. ### 1/5 — Unable to voice type *2022-06-19, version 2.4.1* Unable to voice type in Malayalam even after paying for 1 year subscription. Looks like defect. ### 1/5 — Voice typing not working fine *2022-05-27* Waste of money voice typing is not working Properly when I try to write something using voice typing it will translate immediately and if I try it continuously for the next paragraph or sentence it lags and wont work smoothly and Remove advertisement icon is showing even though I purchased this Software I feel this is not registering properly and working properly ### 1/5 — Voice to text typing is waste. *2022-05-09, version 2.4.0* Voice to text typing feature in malayalam is just waste. It’ll only work once and the words are incorrect. I wasted my money by buying the app. Useless. ### 1/5 — Not able to activate from Canada *2022-05-03, version 2.4.0* Only premium account from other countries ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app for iphones *2025-10-21, version 2.4.2* Works perfectly with iPhones. ### 5/5 — Voice typing *2025-01-16, version 2.4.2* English translate, Manglish voice ### 5/5 — Faheem *2024-08-10, version 2.4.2* Very helpful application. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-12-20, version 2.4.1* Excellent but need big digit number block ### 5/5 — Good key board *2022-07-21* I have been using for last two years .
