### 2/5 — Keyboard doesn’t work

*2025-07-23, version 1.1.0*

The keyboard doesn’t work on my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

### 1/5 — Is anyone updating???

*2025-01-12, version 1.1.0*

Seems like there is no update in 8 years. Please come back. I am learning my language, Igbo. And i need something that will help me immerse.

### 1/5 — Not compatible

*2024-05-18*

It does not work for iPhone 13 Pro max

### 3/5 — Needs an update ASAP

*2023-11-04, version 1.1.0*

Needs an update. Worked great on my iPhone 11 but sucked on iPhone 14. Completely not working on iPhone 15

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 13 Pro

*2022-05-11, version 1.1.0*

I loved this keyboard and used this app on my iPhone 11, which was my first iPhone. I recently upgraded to the 13 Pro and now it doesn’t work. Apple has an Igbo ironists but it’s not as accurate as this keyboard. For example, there is no option for the dots under the letter “e” and that dot changes the sound and meaning of what is being said. Same goes for Apple’s Igbo keyboard missing the dot under the O. I’m glad they have a keyboard but it’s just not as accurate and idk if it’s this app that needs to be updated or Apple blocking this app on certain models but this app hasn’t been updated in years from what I’m seeing. Hope the developer can update this app or I can find another one to delete the Apple Igbo keyboard.

### 1/5 — Problem

I purchased the IPhone 13 and now I can’t use my keyboard. Hope there is a new update. Has not been updated in over 4 years it seems.

### 1/5 — C

*2021-11-28, version 1.1.0*
