However, its prediction is relatively poor and the keyboard can be quite unstable (I.e., crashes from time to time). The UI has fairly dated graphics too… with no clear visibility of any planned updates, I’m won’t recommend getting this app. ### 3/5 — Needs to be updated *2025-11-29, version 1.999* 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. ### 4/5 — Should be the standard *2025-10-12, version 1.999* 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. ### 4/5 — only 4 stars *2025-10-04, version 1.999* Great keyboard that could use some modernization, come on dev... ### 2/5 — Good when working *2025-04-23, version 1.999* Stops responding randomly. ### 4/5 — Settings are bad *2024-08-22, version 1.999* This might be an excellent keyboard, but the settings are likely the worst thing you've ever used on an iPhone. ### 5/5 — Melhor teclado do iOS *2024-06-20, version 1.999* Uma pena não receber atualizações ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-05-08, version 1.999* Great keyboard :) ### 4/5 — great keyboard hamstrung by apple and lack of updates *2024-05-06, version 1.999* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-04-30, version 1.999* Amazing app for two finger typing, nothing else comes close, even if it’s no longer updated ### 3/5 — Amazing keyboard, but breaks often. *2024-03-16, version 1.999* iOS 17, the keyboard sometimes freezes up. It’s still usable!, but the gui is completely frozen. ### 5/5 — Still one of the most impressive typing experience *2024-01-30, version 1.999* It had been many years since I purchased this keyboard. I must say its a little sad that updates has fallen off. I think that if maintained, I don’t mind paying a subscription model. Truly the most intuitive swipe tapping typing experience. Swype, ios native keyboard etc cannot compare to this. Such a pity. ### 5/5 — This keyboard is life-changing once you master it *2023-11-27, version 1.999* This alone makes the iPhone worth it 😂 ### 5/5 — This application alone is worth a whole iPhone *2023-11-27, version 1.999* And it's like from 9 years ago. 🤣 ### 5/5 — Needs more updates. I love this keyboard *2023-10-05, version 1.999* I became really used to this keyboard thought it was so intuitive to type on. it's been years since an update I hope it gets an update soon or someone makes one similar to it. ### 5/5 — So glad it’s back *2023-03-30, version 1.999* I love this keyboard so much. I make fewer mistakes and spend less time swearing at autocorrect for messing me up. Please let me pay for this again or support the development of this keyboard. Patreon, subscriptions, anything. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2026-02-23, version 1.999* 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. ### 1/5 — freezes *2024-03-19, version 1.999* 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!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2023-09-09, version 1.999* Doesn't do anything it promises! Would give negative stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Do not buy, no longer supported *2023-03-12, version 1.999* Can’t recommend a purchase, the developer hasn’t supported this in years, very buggy ### 1/5 — Can't use on latest iOS *2021-06-06, version 1.999* Does not show up on the Add New Keyboard list on iOS 14.6 ### 1/5 — Aceptable, ¡¡PERO!! *2020-07-21, version 1.999* Me gustaría que fuera un poco más estable los efectos son muy buenos! espero QUE LE DEN SOPORTE PARA ESPAÑOL! y que corrijan algunos errores que tiene ya que en muchas ocasiones SE TARDA EN APARECER EL TECLADO! y eso es bastante molesto cuando quieres escribir rapido!! ### 1/5 — Aplicación abandonada por el desarrollador *2020-06-06, version 1.999* Era el mejor teclado de terceros pero el desarrollador dejó de actualizarla. ### 1/5 — Update this *2020-04-13, version 1.999* At this point i wish i didn't pay for this. So laggy buggy and unreliable. 5 star idea 0 star for reliability ### 1/5 — Very sad it’s broken *2019-10-02, version 1.999* frequently freezes, requiring a restart of my phone to fix. Can’t do that every hour, but I love this keyboard. Very sad ### 1/5 — Looks pathetic *2019-04-29, version 1.999* The keybord looks pathetic because of lack of decent themes and you just cant use it with phone above iphone x ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Favorite keyboard of all time *2026-07-15, version 1.999* Ive had this keyboard from the beginning, im on an iphone 15 pro max and the app still works flawlessly. it makes having these kinda devices WORTH IT. It doesn’t have the best predictive type but it don’t matter out knows better than apples but even if out didnt the UI makes up for it, im using the slide features and its always on point at correcting my mistakes, (using it now and I haven’t had to delete or correct a word the way I do with apple. I hope your reading this jormy, cuz we still love this app ❤❤ but wed love for it to get an update to add newer emoji n things. ( god I love the slide feature)🥰 ### 5/5 — Best typing app *2026-07-13, version 1.999* 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! Update: 2026 Still not updated. Keyboard is practically broken with iOS updates. It was the best keyboard when it came out. No other keyboard compares. At this point, I’ll have more success learning code and making my own app similar to this, than Jormy returning. ### 5/5 — Best 3rd party keyboard still to date *2026-02-16, version 1.999* 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. ### 5/5 — I love this keyboard so much *2025-11-27, version 1.999* I’m begging the dev to modernize it a bit please.. ### 5/5 — Please come back *2025-05-29, version 1.999* 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. ### 5/5 — The only actually fast keyboard *2025-03-22, version 1.999* 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. ### 5/5 — Update? *2025-02-24, version 1.999* Please update!! Love the app!! ### 5/5 — Still the best 3rd party keyboard *2024-12-11, version 1.999* 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. ### 5/5 — Hardcore innovation *2024-09-12, version 1.999* 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 ✌🏽❣️ ### 5/5 — Best typing app *2024-08-15* 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! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
