This keyboard does not support Siri I’m disappointed
I wanted to like it, but found it lacking
I was disappointed with this app. I use markdown all the time and I thought it would make my life easier by having all those annoying special characters front and center.
But the app has no notion of spell fixing; nor are the macros esp that useful.
Also, I found it a little buggy, but nothing I could it work around. (The settings button didn’t work; so I had to go the long way around)
And in landscape mode, it doesn’t use the extra real estate. It stays the same size as in portrait mode. Lame.
Also, why does it ask for full permissions? It says it “needs” to share my settings with other devices? First: I don’t want that, and second, I don’t buy that argument. Kinda sketchy.

Just would like auto correct.
I take a lot of notes and various note apps and wanted to be able to timestamp what I typed. This helps tremendously.
Only wish at this point is to have a auto-correct option then I would use it more so.

Really Loved This Keyboard
But it seems to cause apps to hang and often crash whenever it is the selected keyboard that first opens up when any app is opened to a text entry field.
Rudimentary
"Surround selected text with asterisks." Apparently not available.
"Block quote selected paragraphs." Apparently not available.
"Make selected text into a link using URL from clipboard." Apparently not available.
So what does this keyboard actually do??? It locates the asterisk conveniently in the sliding keyboard extension. Stuff like that. This is not what I need and not what I would knowingly pay that much money for.
Maybe their answer is "iOS does not allow this in keyboard apps." The problem is that the limitation was not made clear in the store entry. Please tell me the critical limitations of your app before I hand over my money.

Good start but major flaws.
There are some important flaws to recognize before purchasing.
* Although iPad compatibility is claimed, the keyboard does **not** support an iPad style key layout. The enter key is at the bottom, and there are no ,!.? Keys on the main keyboard. Very distracting for a person who is primarily iPad.
* There's a giant, super-easy-to-hit button right next to the space bar that pulls you out of the app you're working on into the MD keyboard app customize screen. I would hope to customize this maybe three times ever. And the space bar is the most common key to hit. This is a terrible distraction and a deal-breaker for regular use. Far better would be to make the settings button live at the far right edge of the special keys row.
* Does not work in some apps -- for example, the App Store review screen I'm typing into right now. (when I activate this keyboard on iPad the text entry disappears)
* No predictive text support / autocorrect that I can tell.
Good things:
* Love that you can move left-right by one character.
* Hooray tab key
Minor nitpicks:
* There's only a few slots for punctuation. You could not for example fit these all in, not even half: *-:.,;'"`#[]{}<>()_\|/1234567890

Overall I love this app!
Useful and nifty app that I've been using for a few weeks. I use a lot of special symbols in my iPhone note-taking, and the customizable extra keyboard row is a godsend. Thanks for making the keyboard load faster in the latest update. I'd like to see an option to hide the extra row when I don't need to use it, but overall I love this app!

Great Keyboard that works everywhere
Update: This new version is much, much faster to load! Thanks!
Awesome for adding markdown syntax to my github comments on the fly. I was so tired of clicking around so many keyboard menus, and now this speeds up my entire workflow. I also love the custom macros you can add. This is very useful for other situations like email signatures, addresses, etc.
Overall, a great purchase!

Love it!
This keyboard makes it easy to draft blog entries from anywhere.
Incredibly helpful for markdown typing
I use this all the time when drafting markdown journal entries and blog drafts. I often work in apps that don't have their own markdown keyboard, and this makes it so much easier to add *emphasis*, links, etc. I even created several custom macros that let me type things like "be there soon" or my professional email signature (which I occasionally want in my emails) - all with one button press. I don't have to deal with finicky "snippets" anymore. Would love to see even more suggested macros in future updates.

Perfect
