### 4/5 — Good keyboard; trackpad would help

*2025-01-03*

This keyboard is good for adding vowels to Hebrew. The vowels are a little difficult to see because both they and the placeholder letter (a circle) are white dots; perhaps making the placeholder letter a solid circle or a different color would help. Also, it would help to support the spacebar trackpad so you could use that to navigate the text you’ve already typed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the helpful feedback!
More features will be coming in the future

### 5/5 — Works

*2024-07-26*

Does what it says. Smooth and easy operation. No complaints.

### 5/5 — Useful for the Biblical Hebrew Student

*2023-07-17*

This works very well. My instructor uses Quizlet for learning vocabulary (and maybe other things). Until I found the Nikud Keyboard, I was struggling to complete the Quizlet exercises. I was using another similar app but it was missing the ability to add ‘maqqep’.
One thing I did not see, was a set of instructions for using the app. Took me a couple runs to work out what I was doing wrong before I discovered the ‘knack’ of entering the Nikud correctly. Worth the $2 price tag for me!

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're thrilled to hear that the Nikud Keyboard has been helpful for you, especially with your Quizlet exercises. We apologize for any initial confusion and appreciate the feedback regarding the instructions. We'll work on improving the user experience and providing clearer guidance for new users. Your support means a lot to us, and we're glad you found value in our app. If you have any further suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Happy learning! 📚

### 1/5 — One problem

*2023-04-21*

Hard to get the nikudot window closed without accidentally hitting another letter

**Developer response:** Thank you for reviewing.
This is not the expected behavior of the keyboard.
We have updated the app. Please install the new version and let us know if you need further assistance.

### 1/5 — Not useful to me

*2022-12-04*

Downloaded this for school and it will not work for me to us. Downloaded this to my keyboards and still will not open for typing

**Developer response:** Please contact us at support@pierrejanineh.com to help you properly install the keyboard.

### 2/5 — Keyboard not coming up

*2022-08-28*

The keyboard is not showing up as an available option. I enabled it in the settings. It is doing the same thing for me that it is doing for another person that made the review about the keyboard not showing up for them either.

**Developer response:** Please contact us at support@pierrejanineh.com to further assist you and properly install the keyboard.

### 3/5 — Not usable for texting

*2022-07-11*

For some reason the keyboard isn’t populating as an option to use for texting, but it is for Google search and even for this review. Please suggest how to use for texting if you know what the problem is. Thanks in advance

**Developer response:** Hello Mahalom,
The keyboard is built to work everywhere, you just need to choose the keyboard from your Keyboards list when the "🌐" is pressed.
If you still are facing issues with this, please contact us at: info@pierrejanineh.com.
Thank you so much for your review.

### 1/5 — לא עובד!

*2022-02-21*

לא מנקד אוטומטית את המלל. צריך לנקד בעצמך כל אות בנפרד! לא שווה את המחיר! מממליצה לחפש אפליקציה אחרת שמותאמת לאייפון!

**Developer response:** שלום,
האפליקציה אכן מותאמת רק לאייפון והיא לא אמורה לנקד אוטומטית. התפקיד של האפליקציה הינו להציג לנו תווי ניקוד כדי שתהיה לנו אפשרות לנקד באופן ידני.

### 5/5 — Finally I can type Nikud on iPhone!

*2022-02-17*

Finally a great app for typing Nikud on iPhone! Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you Mathew :)
Feel free to suggest anything on your mind.

### 1/5 — Not working at all
