### 5/5 — SLYDER IS AWESOME

*2026-08-17, version 2.3.1*

I have been using Slyder for over 3 years now and I can't imagine life without it.  No keyboard out there can do what Slyder can.  I would rate it 10 stars if I could.

### 4/5 — 키보드 자판 사이 간격 조절 기능 만들어주세요

*2026-08-13*

모든 키보드 어플중에서 그래도 제일 좋아서 잘 쓰고 있는데요..키보드 사이 간격 넓히는 기능 나온다면 유료버전 구매할 의향 1000%있습니다. 리뷰보니까 다른분들도 비슷한 의견이 있네요. 갤럭시 쓸때는 키보드 오타율이 훨씬 적어서 왜그럴까하고 동시에 켜서 비교해보니 아무래도 자판 사이 간격이 갤럭시가 더 넓어서 오타율이 더 적지 않나 싶습니다.

### 5/5 — Hands down

*2026-08-04, version 2.3.0*

Such a great app. Been using for over 10 years.

### 5/5 — 다들 한번쯤은 꼭 다운받으셔야 하는 앱🤫

*2026-08-01, version 2.3.0*

안녕하세요!!👋😊
저는 이 앱을 처음 다운 받은 이유는 
일반 키보드는 뭔가 흰색이랑 검정색만 있어서
솔직히 좀 뭔가 다양한색이 있으면
좋겠으면 해서 다운받았어요!!
일단 좋은 점은 이 키보드 앱은 
마음대로 색을 정할수 있어요!!
그리고 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ라고 할때
ㅋ버튼을 여러번 눌러야 하잖아요!!
근데 이 키보드는!! 한번 꾹~ 눌르면
계속 입력 되서 좋아요!!
그리고 이 키보드는 입력 할때 
위 상단바에 그 입력한 단어랑 비슷한
이모티콘이 나와서 바로 임티를 채팅에
쓸수 있어서 시간 전략도 됩니다!!⏰⌛
아무튼 더 좋은 점이 많은데 나머지는 
직접 다운받고 알아가 보세요!!

### 1/5 — Annoying ads

*2026-07-16, version 2.3.0*

Once your free trial ends ad pops up at the top of your keyboard and it's the most annoying thing you'll ever see. It takes up so much space.

### 3/5 — No spell check is a dealbreaker

*2026-07-08, version 2.3.0*

In a lot of ways this is a good keyboard app with a lot of smart and useful features, but without any sort of spell check I just can't recommend it, especially not as a subscription fee. A subscription for a keyboard is ridiculous. You are not providing an ongoing service, it's literally just a piece of software. It should be a one time fee then you own it. They could add 1000 more features, but with no spell check it will never be worth paying a single cent for, let alone a subscription.

### 4/5 — Just re-enable apple's autocorrect bar and it's perfect

*2026-06-24, version 2.2.0*

AI is opt in, no suggestions, nothing forced.  Great hotkey selection--a touch of a button and I get a numpad, I even added a button that enters "  -ai" for when I'm using google.

I just don't know why I have red alerts on it now.

### 1/5 — Slyder? More like Liar

*2026-06-24, version 2.2.0*

Trying to get it to swipe type and all it did was make rattling haptic sounds. No thanks

### 5/5 — 설정>즐겨찾기 파일 때문에 1이 안 사라져요

*2026-06-02*

여태까지 너무 잘 쓰고있었는데 갑자기 업데이트 됐다면서 떴는데 설정>즐겨찾기>파일 유료버전 이걸 계속 클릭해도 키보드에 1이 안 사라져요 혹시 유료버전 구매를 해야 사라지는 걸까요..?

### 2/5 — Where's Mandarin?

*2026-04-19, version 2.0.5*

I need to be able to write in Mandarin Simplified...
