Клавиши не соответствуют механической клавиатуре

Программа работает и можно печатать на экране. Но если подсоединить iPad к физической клаве, все обратно переходит на "йцуке" вместо "яшерт".

Думаю не плохая программа на iPhone, но не готова на iPad с физической клавиатурой

Does not work

Tried on my iPad, still getting standard Russian keyboard layout and not phonetic.

Doesn’t support iPad Pro iOS 12.3 :(

It appears that this app doesn’t work on iPad with iOS 12.3. Upon installation and payment, I found out that this keyboard works the same as regular Russian keyboard. Very disappointing! I hope that this issue can be fixed or money could be refunded.

Try something else.

This app does not work at all. A total waste of $.99 How did Apple let this get through? Does not provide a phonetic keyboard at all.

Loved it for my iPad only

Please help me make this work on my iPhone. It is a wonderful tool for me to learn russian and look up works correctly.

Ура заработало!!!!

Works great. Thanks. Perfect app.

Useless

Not compatible with physical keyboards (e.g. Apple Smart Keyboard). Should have read earlier reviews. Don't see any reason to use it by itself as I am happy with the standard Russian on-screen keyboard otherwise.

Response from developer

Unfortunately, iOS doesn't allow keyboard developers to access the hardware keyboard. I wish I could add this feature too, but for the time being it's impossible. Sorry!

Finally there is a phonetic Russian keyboard that works!

This keyboard is fantastic - now I can type in Russian 10x faster! I no longer have to suffer looking for the right Russian letter on a standard iOS-provided Cyrillic "Йцукен" layout.

Thank you! Well worth the money!!

Doesn't work with keyboard

Doesn't work with Smart Keyboard - waste of money.

Response from developer

Sorry! Apple currently doesn't allow keyboard developers to access the hardware keyboard. I really want to add this feature, but for the time being it's not possible for me to do.

Very nice keyboard!

This is an extremely needed keyboard for all who uses cyrillic input and also english one. Saves a lot of time and very good app itself. I only wish please add Mongolian cyrillic support as it uses two characters missing in standard cyrillic! Thanks a lot!

I'm so happy this exists now

Update:
With the new iPhone update, this keyboard has a lot of trouble opening. I used this keyboard all the time, and it's really difficult to have it suddenly stop working. I'm considering another keyboard that's more consistent.

Old post:
I'm a Russian major, and I have been looking for a Russian phonetic keyboard, but there was never one for the iPhone. The one on my Mac works great. I just wish this one had spelling correction or word suggestion. It's a great work in progress, though!

Such an improvement

What a relief to have a Russian phonetic keyboard back since apple took the native one away back in 2009.

Напрасно потраченные деньги

Несмотря на хорошую задумку, программой пользоваться крайне затруднительно. Очень медленно работает. Программа откровенно сырая. Не всегда переключается, пропускает печатаемый текст. В общем, совершенно не "эппловский" продукт. Удалил после нескольких дней использования.

Great, but need a phonetic keyboard to work with Bluetooth.

I am thankful to have this app since it is better than what I had before (no phonetic keyboard on the Ipad), but it doesn't seem to work with my Bluetooth keyboard. So I still do not have a way to type on the Ipad very easily using phonetic letters.

Great, but one suggestion

This app is an absolute lifesaver. It makes typing in Russian convenient and simple. One suggestion though: when I'm righting down new words, I like to mark where the accent lies in the word, so if you could add a setting to maybe make the apostrophe switch to an acute combining accent character that can be typed after the vowels to add the accent. Alternately, if you could do what the Latin character keyboards do and let you hold down on the vowels to get an accented version (which would really be the vowel followed by the combining acute accent).

Thanks so much and great job with the app!!

Autocorrect

Please add Russian dictionary for autocorrect. Also would be nice if the keyboard had all of the things the standard keyboard has on landscape mode

Great! But please add autocorrect!

Perfect app for those who are used to the qwerty keyboard and want to type in Russian quickly. Integrates with the iPhone keyboard so there is no need to open a separate app. Finally, it's not frustrating to type in Russian! But please please add autocorrect in your next update! Or at least a dictionary and recognition of misspelled words! That would make it 6 stars for me. But in any case, totally worth it!

Thank you!

Saw your comment with link on macrumors. Keyboard works great so far. Hate apple for not including such a minor option in their iOS keyboards after so many years.
