User reviews

removed ə

Loved the accessibility of the app and cleaner look with the update, but unfortunately the schwa (ə) was removed. This is a key letter in our alphabet and I’m so sad! I would love this to be fixed.

It’s glitchy, good for getting the letters but can be glitchy.

So I bought the keyboard and it’s good overall, but sometimes when I try to exit back to my English font it won’t allow me to leave and glitches like that. Annoying but not a deal breaker.

Use FirstVoices app instead

Since leaving the review below I’ve found the FirstVoices app - it works better and is free!

It’s annoying to have to switch between consonant keyboard > English keyboard > vowel keyboard, and vice versa for nearly every word. If you could find a way to fit all the letters onto the same keyboard by using shift or something, that would be ideal. Thanks for trying though!

It's okay but...

I like the idea of having my language on a keyboard ,but I don't get all the letters on the same key board with would not be a problem if when I press to go back it send me to English keyboard I'll give it 4 stars for trying.

P.s. Keyboard is not as seen on the model it shows
