What's New in Personal Keyboard

1.6.2

Bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

Interesting

It takes some effort – this is not for the average person, but if you can figure it out, it gets the job done, though the lack of typical features like the double space function is disappointing if you rely on that stuff. The biggest disappointment for me, though, is the lack of the keyboard drop button.

Fraudulent

This is all in code and not usable to the average person. This is a ripoff and should have a warning.

Needs improvement but good app

I like this app but it needs some additional improvements to make it an excellent app so I would like to give some feedback:

Bugs:

1. There is a bug where if you tap SHIFT followed by a 123 button or switch button, instead of changing - the buttons just rearrange and don’t work. Please fix this.

2. Diacritics support - Some diacritics don’t work well with the app and I think it’a due to the format it’s saved in for example:
[𑂸:𑂸:{𑂌:𑂌}]

This just appears as a long string rather than a piece of code which translates to 𑂸 being a button and 𑂌 being a SHIFT case of it.

Please fix this as this app allows me to create keyboards for scripts and languages that don’t already have a keyboard but due to the diacritics bugs, it’s not possible to include all the characters.

3. The Colour picker in the Visual mode is really poor and you can’t pick grey colours because they don’t exist in the colour picker. Please add a colour picker which has a wider range of colours.

Requests:

1. Dictionary support - please add a feature where users can import a list of words into a dictionary which can be used for predictive texts (similar to how it’s done on Keyman keyboards)

2. Separate keyboard design for iPad - iPhone designed keyboards don’t look great on iPads. As far I’m concerned there’s no way to design a dynamic keyboard which would be different depending on device

3. Vertical height parameter for lines and buttons - Sometimes keyboard buttons can look too squished or cramped. If there could be a feature similar to button width size which limits the height of buttons which could be specifically for a single button or possibly the entire keyboard

4. Extra characters appear upon holding down a button

5. Feature to add ‘Undo’ and ‘redo’ buttons as well as ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ buttons

6. Custom Keyboard name to appear on Keyboards not just “My Personal Keyboard” followed by the option to change the keyboard language and not be kept static at “English”

Thanks

Amazing for Custom Layouts

I love this keyboard for allowing custom layouts and characters. You can add whatever symbols you want and make the buttons any size. You can even have what the key displays output something entirely different, like a phrase! If you're all about custom layouts then this is the keyboard for you.

Waste of money

This app has potential but right now it's ridiculous to use. Really needs to be sorted by the developer.
Every time you select a colour it's like it just resorts back to the original "template".
