Don’t buy

I can tell this used to be awesome. Now, there are issues. The big one being that half the time the keyboard pops up there’s nothing there. It hasn’t been updated in 6 years and needs to be reworked for the latest iOS. Should not still be available for purchase.

Best 3rd party keyboard still to date

A bit of a learning curve at first to understand how to use a double swipe keyboard, but I still been using this for years and it absolutely still stands out as the best keyboard ever.

Highly recommend giving it a try.

Needs to be updated

Can you not give this app or
Sell it to another developer. Someone that could
Take it over and update it. It needs it bad.

I love this keyboard so much

I’m begging the dev to modernize it a bit please..

Should be the standard

This might be an excellent keyboard, but the settings are likely the worst thing you've ever used on an iPhone.

It crashes a lot too. That's a shame because of course that makes it less attractive. This seems to be a relatively new issue.

The iPhone X and similar have a persistent button to change the keyboard, so the equivalent button on Nintype could be less prominent when running on those phones.

The keyboard styles could do with an update.

only 4 stars

Great keyboard that could use some modernization, come on dev...

Please come back

I just started using this keyboard again after upgrading to an iPhone 15 Pro and its been super stable and as long as it keeps working, I’ll never go back. It makes the stock keyboard feel so incredibly slow, its insane.

Good when working

Stops responding randomly.

The only actually fast keyboard

I have used nearly every keyboard app from Gboard to Fleksy, but none have come anywhere close to typing as swiftly as nintype. The UI could be improved and it takes some time to set up and get used to, but once you do it, you can 3x your typing speed. Highly recommended for actual fast typing without hurting your hands.

Update?

Please update!! Love the app!!

Still the best 3rd party keyboard

I sincerely hope this concept is resurrected or replicated in the future. This is a natural extension to the Swype concept, which allows for faster and more comfortable typing. The hidden complexity is unfathomable, but is executed astonishingly well. The default settings and theme are a bit rough, but the concept is flawless. Even outside the core feature of multiple fingers swiping, the prediction engine is stunning. I could gush about this project forever. It’s gotten buggier over time, and it’s not updated anymore. But I still use it when I need to type a lot at once.

Hardcore innovation

Nintype was one of the greatest things to happen to iOS. An ambitious, totally original idea for a keyboard; it made typing and writing documents on a phone suddenly feel seamless and natural (also fun!). I hope jormy is doing well and one day able to put some of his time into updating this incredible keyboard for the upcoming iOS release.. I know many iPhone users would be very thankful ✌🏽❣️

Settings are bad

This might be an excellent keyboard, but the settings are likely the worst thing you've ever used on an iPhone.

Best typing app

I never write reviews. I’m hoping Jormy sees this. This is the best typing app ever. I’ve been using it ever since it came out and haven’t looked back. However, it’s been many years since an update and now the GUI is starting to break. Save me Jormy! You’re my only hope!

Update: 2024
Still here using nintype everyday. Not sure how many years it’s been since I first wrote my review. I hope Jormy sees this and we get a nice update. I’m holding out for you, Jormy!

Melhor teclado do iOS

Uma pena não receber atualizações

Awesome

Great keyboard :)

great keyboard hamstrung by apple and lack of updates

Once you learn it, it is an amazing keyboard. Unfortunately, IOS has terrible third party keyboard support, and the lack of updates in the last five years is disappointing. Very customizable with a crazy amount of options.

freezes

unfortunately the whole keyboard freezes up and i have to restart my phone often, making it unusable as a main keyboard. if this was fixed it would be a perfect keyboard!!

Amazing keyboard, but breaks often.

iOS 17, the keyboard sometimes freezes up. It’s still usable!, but the gui is completely frozen.

This keyboard is life-changing once you master it

This alone makes the iPhone worth it 😂
