Worthwhile
It is missing autocorrect and text prediction, and the color customization is a bit crude, but this is still a great way to type quickly on mobile. It takes a lot of practice, but it feels great when you start to master it. I keep a diary on my phone, and this makes it easier to use a broad vocabulary with a variety of particular formatting.
The lack of some features, especially autocorrect, slows me down significantly. Still, the design is a great idea with good implementation, and I hope development continues.

Recent "fix" broke it
The recent fix changed the gesture to change the keyboard height from a "flick" do a "drag to resize". And the UX of that is terrible!
I've been using this keyboard for ~10 years and have put up with its jumping height for so long, but at least it usually was "two flicks and it's the right height again". This new and improved gesture though is so much less predictible and harder to use, that I'm considering giving up.
Please-please-please give us a setting for the keyboard height in the settings app and make it fixed size after that 🙏

Can't live without it!
I've used this every day for over a decade, and love it with all my heart. By far the best way to type on a phone. Thank you so, so much for updating!!!
Please fix sudden resizing bug
I have used this keyboard for many years now and almost can't "type" on my phone any other way.
It used to work perfectly until ios27, and now it occasionally bugs out and the keyboard appears huge with no way to resize it to normal other than uninstall and reinstall.
Also, the punctuation characters used to show up on alphabet screen when swiping up from space bar, but now only a few do and the rest are on the number screen. Please fix that to the way it used to be!

PLEASE FIX THE BUG
Right now for me whenever I try to use it, it just takes up the whole screen so it’s basically unusable.
I was loving it before this started happening, so I WILL change my review once this is fixed!

♥️ THANK YOU ♥️
Thank you so much for the update! I have missed messagease SO much since ios 26. It took 2 months to get used to the regular iphone keyboard again and I still lamented the loss of ME amost daily.
I just freaked my kids out with my shouts of joy on seeing the update 😂

This is the best mobile keyboard design, please keep it going!
I have used this keyboard years now and it really is the best once you get used to it.
- The design gives you a small keyboard with large buttons
- No need to switch between letter, symbol, and number keyboards. They are all available at the same time
- Simple to adjust the keyboard size
Please keep this app updated, even if no new features are added!

Buggy but great
I love this app, but I have to delete and reinstall every week because the keyboard gets too big and I can’t adjust it back to normal
Unusable with iOS 26.2.1.
This issue seems to be fixed with iOS version 26.4
I have been using MessagEase since the days of the Palm Pilots.
After a few minutes, becomes as large as the entire screen, making it too big to type on. Delete and reinstall, and the same thing happens.

Beg for update
Please update the keyboard for iOS, every now and then it gets huge and I have to reinstall it. I use this keyboard for at least ten years now. Please update and fix the buggies
My main keyboard
Since flicktype had to stop iphone keyboard support I've been searching for a good replacement. I finally found message ease and can type so quickly now. Unfortunately the keyboard doesn't work with voiceover and I suspect the interaction would make VO integration difficult. I do wish the language options were more refineable. I use the english keyboard which is enUS so whenever I need to access the dictionary I have to switch keyboards.

Please fix the bugs!!
This has been my preferred keyboard for many years but it desperately needs updating! Every so often, i open an app, go to type and the keyboard is humongous, taking up the whole screen and it can't be reduced when swiping down on the globe so i have to oelete the keyboard, re-download & reconfigure my settings. Where did you all go? Please update this app!!!!! I'm still going to use it as qwerty keyboards are awful

Amazing!
This makes using all parts of my phone easier! If no more updates will be released, please make the app open source!
The ONLY usable keyboard!
After learning where most of its keys are, this unique keyboard lets me type faster and FAR more accurately than traditional screen keyboards, with much less hastle. This keyboard isn't just a novelty item. Without this keyboard, I'd literally almost never use my iPhone (or any other phone). I'm willing to pay $$$ for this totally free app.
I BEG the programmer to continue maintaining this app or find a way to make it perpetually available. (Maybe sell the app's rights and code to Apple.) This keyboard is amazingly efficient. The only improvement I would make is on its cursor navigation, perhaps model it after the cursor navigation in iPhone's default keyboard.
For the last few weeks this app was somewhat broken on my phone, but tonight I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and now it works perfectly. I think the issue was just a corrupted file on my phone, but it scared me because I'm so reliant on this app that I use almost all the time.
Note that this keyboard doesn't have voice typing or word prediction (which I don't care about), but these features are easily had by briefly jumping to a different keyboard.
I've tried Microsoft SwiftKey, KBD Maker, and the iPhone's default keyboard, and they are each basically useless and prone to similar typing quirks.

Keeps filling the screen
The keyboard takes up all the screen with no way of making it half the size. Starts of normal when downloaded then glitches and needs uninstalling and redownloading. Needs an update to fix this.
great tool. totally abandoned.
I'm currently on iOS 26.2 and, as of 26.0, this keyboard displays only in a slightly garbled full-screen mode. I want it back!!
someone else suggested open-sourcing it, which would be great. I would also pay for a maintained version...
is there a way to wrest this keyboard's design away and write our own version? I don't want to invite legal trouble but I'M NOT GOING BACK TO QWERTY!
