I was using a an app earlier which when I type English it used translate it to Kannada which stopped working since it is not no longer listed on the App Store. So searched and found this app. Purchased it and was quite impressed with it also. It worked so well for few days which allowed both English and Kannada translation! Now it started displaying “unlock now” on the keyboard and when I click on unlock, it is taking me to a web site where nothing gets loaded and I am stuck after that Why am I forced to watch some stupid ad when I want to get my work done? It’s very annoying to me, wish I never used this app. 2 stars given was for the app design and ease to use. Wish I would pay more to this app and avoid watching ads! ### 2/5 — ಒತ್ತಕ್ಷರ *2023-04-12, version 3.1* ಒತ್ತಕ್ಷರ ಬರೆಯಲು ಕಷ್ಟ ಸುಧಾರಿಸಬೇಕು ### 3/5 — Watch ad *2022-11-02, version 3.0* App asks to watch an add to extend features by 1 day. Not good. ### 2/5 — Good *2022-11-01, version 3.0* Couldn’t write the word rajyotsava ### 3/5 — Good Kannada Keyboard with Major Mistake *2022-07-11, version 2.7* We can get a lot of Kannada keyboards to Androids but when we come to IPhone its difficult to find a better feel and smooth working Kannada keyboard. Fortunately Namma Kannada Key is Good One I have found. But Major mistake is It has no option to to type (ೃ) (ವಟ್ರಸುಳಿ) I don’t know how this big mistake happened. I have purchased keyboard twice. Please solve the issue as soon as Possible. And another problem is For English words First letter Capitalisation is not there. Provide it. Thank You. ### 3/5 — ಟೈಪ್ ಮಾಡಲು ಕಷ್ಟ *2022-07-02, version 2.7* ಮನವಲಸ ಕೀಬೋರ್ಡ್ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಕಷ್ಟ ಟೈಪ್ ಮಾಡೋದು ಜಸ್ಟ್ ಕನ್ನಡ ಅಂತ ಒಂದು ಆಪ್ ಇದೆ ಅದೇ ತರ ಮಾಡಿ ### 2/5 — Is this paid app ? *2022-05-04, version 2.7* This app is great .

I understand it’s business for you. But dont project yourself as someone who is genuinely into Kannada ulisi. First thing, too many bugs, second, even before we get the full experience of your App, it prompts us for paid subscription. Wat sort of service is this to Kannada? Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Long words can not convert *2023-04-13, version 3.1* Dear friends don’t buy this app if type more than 6 words in english to kannada those we’re can’t convert to kannada very pathetic app it the key bord working skill also very difficult not to easy for handling don’t buy its my sincere request to all ### 1/5 — Unable to use *2023-01-01, version 3.0* Whole screen is filled with the ad. Does it mean that i can’t use free version? If I can, appreciate suggestion on how to get around it. Thanks ### 1/5 — Total disaster *2022-03-04, version 2.3* Strongly recommend everyone to desist using this app. After paying for the app, it forces you to watch the advertisements. There is no user friendly interface. ### 1/5 — No way to switch between keyboards *2022-02-07, version 2.3* Option is not provided to switch between key boards is one drawback? “Help” is not provided. ### 1/5 — Full of Ads & schemes *2022-01-11, version 2.3* Waste of time ### 1/5 — Crapy app *2021-10-11, version 2.2* Before I open the keyboard setting, ads that play more than 15sec. Uninstalled immediately… ### 1/5 — Misleading *2021-08-29, version 2.2* Full of ads. Doesn’t let you proceed without watching ads at every step. And navigation is pathetic. ### 1/5 — Missing many basic words, looks like they have only pre-defined word *2021-06-05, version 2.2* Missing many basic words like “Lipi” , “Jnanesh”, muppu , keri, keeri (ಹಾವು keeri) ಹದಿ hareyada ಹುಡುಗರು lipijna ( Lipi + ಜ್ಞಾ) Though I have paid , I am still not getting many words . Google Kannada Input tool is 100% , then why can’t you ? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nagamangala Deepak *2025-04-03, version 3.4.1* Rob ### 5/5 — Fine *2025-03-25, version 3.4.1* Super ### 5/5 — Reviews *2025-01-31, version 3.4.1* The keyboard is so friendly to use and it’s prompts are pretty good the feature I like most is that I type a Kannada word in using English script and the app writes in Kannada script. ### 5/5 — Every nice app *2022-05-20, version 2.7* Very nice app G ### 5/5 — Chidu *2022-04-02, version 2.4* Excellent app, recommend it to all kannadigas. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-04-13, version 2.2* Superb app. It’s very convenient to use ### 5/5 — Review *2020-12-02, version 2.2* It’s excellent ### 5/5 — Amazing and much awaited app on ios *2020-06-12* Thanks team for this.
