### 5/5 — Great for data entry!

*2024-03-07*

Had a small issue that was resolved within 30 minutes from Numpad support. Always get compliments on the numpad. Data entry and typing credit cards have never been easier

### 5/5 — Stopped working

*2024-03-05*

I used that app till now, I really liked it. It stopped working in some odd reason, couldn’t find it in keyboard

**Developer response:** Hi! 

I have a problem with the app and iOS version 17.2. It’s a problem with iOS, not my app. Please contact me and I will give you a temporary TestFlight fix. 

Thank you for 5 stars even with my current issues!

### 5/5 — Where did my keyboard go?

*2024-02-01*

I’ve used this keyboard for several years and now it is missing from my list. Was it taken down?

**Developer response:** Hi! I have a problem with the app since iOS 17.2. Please email me and I’ll give you a temporary fix for this.

### 5/5 — Don’t 1-star it just bc of the iOS update…

*2024-01-28*

Calm down, take a second. The dev is working on it, and hopefully we’ll all have our favorite third-party keyboard back soon. Review bombing this app isn’t going to make it happen any faster though. I’ve used this app multiple times a day, every day, for the past several years. Even if I have to purchase a whole new app from the dev I would because the $2 it costs is nothing compared to the time it’s saved me.

**Developer response:** This comment made me so happy! Thank you for your understanding ☀️

The app stopped working because of my App ID. Please contact me by email and I’ll send a link to a temporary Apple TestFlight fix. 

Have an awesome day! 

Please email me for a temporary TestFlight fix!

**Developer response:** Hi, please email me and I’ll send you a link to a temporary fix. I have problems with my app id since 17.2.
