### 3/5 — The best Ghanaian alphabet keyboard

*2026-04-25, version 3.2.8*

It has been very helpful in granting the space for Ghanaians to write with clarity in our beloved alphabet without resulting soley on the roman alphabets.

*2026-01-25, version 3.2.8*

I have been using Nkyea keyboard for several years now and have loved it….until now. After a phone upgrade, the screen went blank, am unable to type. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, enabled full access, etc., with no luck. I noticed another user had the same issue. Please fix it, otherwise, great app.

### 2/5 — Ewe language!

Am an Anlo or an Ewe but your keyboard had nothing for the Ewe language I purposely purchased the app for a reason but my choice wasn't there please do something about this ASAP thank you.

### 1/5 — Keyboard isn’t showing not to talk of working!

*2025-10-31, version 3.2.8*

Bad! I paid for this app just today and after setting it up, it wouldn’t show the keyboard even. I wished I could send a proof of image. It’s just giving me a white space with no characters. Please refund my money back.
