It’s not T9

It makes the keyboard *look* like T9, but it’s not. It’s predictive and it’s limited in its capacity to do so. Typing “old school” abbreviations is impossible because it guesses what you’re trying to say and gets it wrong. T9 texting meant pressing buttons several times to get the correct letter and that isn’t how this app works. The only things it has in common with old texting is the layout and the fact that is in fact more time consuming. But it doesn’t feel nostalgic either. So it fails at being useful or fun.

Full Access Non-Optional

Most keyboards have an option to turn on/off full access. This one inserts itself into iOS list off keyboards with full access enabled and no way to turn that off! That means those keyboards can capture everything you type she send it to a third party. Absolute non-starter... you are crazy if you use this!

small bug

Id like it to default to number pad and it won't, even though it's in the settings

good

I FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX THE PREDICTIVE TEXT THING 5 STARSSSS

SO close to the original T9, but not quite!

I absolutely LOVED T9 “back in my day”, and this app is so close to how it was! It was incredibly nostalgic to use again.
I do, however, wish that it was like the old T9 keyboards where it allow you to switch to “multi-tap” mode for individual spelling of words that isn’t in the typical “predictable text” options. Maybe I can’t figure it out despite having read the directions, but I can’t get the keyboard to allow for individual letters.
I also wish it had the typical key that “set” a word in and then the word could be manipulated after rather than it deleting the whole word/changing the entire word again like the old T9 had. If you hit “>” then it would set the word. Removing the middle-of-typing blue highlight IYKYK 😂
Overall I love the app!

As described!

I'm not sure what any of the bad reviews are about (and I’m glad I didn’t pay them any mind) because this app is exactly what it set out to be! If you need any help understanding how to get to the other characters (such as ?,!,&,@, etc.) just click on the FAQ link in the settings. There, they have a nice reference chart. All the characters can be used on the keyboard. Great, simple app!

High hopes for this app

Really wished it worked better than claimed. Pressing space 2times did not give a period. Can’t access your emojis. $4.99 for not getting a functioning keyboard. Will be asking for a refund. The app was not designed well unfortunately. Added some words to my dictionary and they weren’t being picked up. Trying to type “Happening” not happening lol. I loved using that type of keyboard and wanted to use it again but this app was a dud. Don’t waste your money on this one. I really wanted to like it.

Almost Perfect!

One thing that needs to be addressed,

When I click the uppercase key, only the first tap registers as capital letter when it should it should be all capital as long as I'm not yet finished cycling through the letters.

No enter key

Look, it’s fine if I can’t customize it, that really sucks butt, but I wouldn’t care, if this keyboard had an enter button. i can type all I want on it, but it doesn’t matter, because I cant even enter it.

prediktivní text kliknu na 2 a napíše to Be jak to vypnu

This has potential but isn’t ready yet

The guessing the word is a cool feature but is prone to guessing wrong. The functionality to only guess words corresponding to the number of times the keys are tapped is hidden in the beta features but isn’t reliable. I look forward to using this more in the future when the bugs are ironed out.

Great but please custom keyboards free and the pre-made ones not

Plz plz plz plz plz plz plz

Haptic feedback notworking

I love it, plz give me vibration when typing, and it will be perfect.

Desactivar T9

Esta super el teclado solo que si tengo que escribir siglas o algo donde no requiero el T9, no esta la opción para escribir letra por letra. Eso le daría un super pluus. Por favor añadanla

Read the instructions!

This app is great, even the free version on its own which should have everything you need! Yes, you can type ?!@& and so forth. Yes, you can enter. Yes, you can turn predictive text on and off from the keyboard itself. Do not listen to the bad reviews mentioning these issues, as they simply have not explored the full capacity of the keyboard.

My only thing is that the predictions are very assertive and I wish there was a simple button to cycle through them (such as #) rather than having to manually select from the above bar. Maybe this also exists and I haven’t found it yet…

Need two features to make it better

It needs a GO/ENTER button and second a long press should give access to all the letters and symbols of that key.

Full access can also be added but i don’t find it necessary

Great alternative to an T9 keyboard

Personally, I do like the T9 app. However, is missing a lot of punctuations like the “!?@&” button. If y’all can somehow implement this to the keyboard, then I would’ve gave this app an 5/5 stars :)

Clasico

Espectacular, lo extrañaba desde el 2005 🥺

Not what I expected

This app surely need an update on its features. There’s many things I find a problem with. Hepatic features don’t work, and no various symbols and punctuation marks, sure it has a dictionary so it will recognize words you want in place , but that doesn’t work .. I got to keep switch back to my original keyboard to add these words or symbols that I need . Hopefully you will update all this.
