### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2024-11-02, version 2.0.0*

Terrible app. Will not let me install rune keyboard. Good thing it was only a couple bucks wasted.

### 1/5 — Déception

*2024-05-14*

Aucune traduction en français. Application en Anglais uniquement… je regrette mon achat !

### 1/5 — No help button

*2023-11-04, version 2.0.0*

When I go to “add keyboard” there is no option for “runes Kb”. There is one called “runesscript”?

### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2022-12-25*

Благодарю, все скачала на 7 айфон. Клавиатура появилась. Неудобно только, что приложение только на английском

### 5/5 — That’s incredible

*2022-06-25, version 2.0.0*

This is app really awesome!!! 

I had a problem, I couldn't find the fonts to write messages, and you solved it! Thank you so much guys!!! You are awesome!!!

### 3/5 — Question

*2022-05-17, version 2.0.0*

Is there any way to make it auto translate from English to runes when I type the English alphabet??

### 5/5 — Почему не работает

*2022-01-22*

Приобрёл а программа не работает. Вопрос??????

### 4/5 — Reversed Runes

*2022-01-13, version 2.0.0*

I am loving this font so far, and use it almost every day for secret messages. My only problem with it is that the Elder Futhark setting doesn’t have the option of inverted runes. Could you please fix this in an update? I would greatly appreciate it

In particular, the runes that should have this option include Fehu (ᚠ), Uruz (ᚢ), Thurisaz (ᚦ), Ansuz (ᚨ), Raidho (ᚱ), Kenaz (ᚲ), Wunjo (ᚹ), Naudiz (ᚾ), Eihwaz (ᛇ), Perthro (ᛈ), Algiz (ᛉ), Teiwaz (ᛏ), Berkano (ᛒ), Ehwaz (ᛖ), Mannaz (ᛗ), Laguz (ᛚ), and Othala (ᛟ)

### 1/5 — Does not work for all applications!!!

*2021-12-16, version 2.0.0*

I am a professional writer, and after purchasing the app, I tried to open it in Word 365 for my current project. However, this proved to be for naught. While the app does work in all other apps, it does not work in any Microsoft Office 365 apps.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2021-04-22, version 2.0.0*

I hoped this would work but as I open the app it says to download fonts but wen I click on it it bring me to a page but no option to download anything I’m on iOS
