### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Where's Mandarin?

*2026-04-19, version 2.0.5*

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

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-04-06, version 2.0.5*

Please add slide / glide typing.  I can't use this keyboard for that reason but I recognize how good it is.  If you add that, it would be perfect and I would change to 5 stars

### 3/5 — 키보드 전환이 너무 자주돼요

*2026-02-11*

하루에 한 번씩 두 번정도 키보드 나갔다 들어왔다 해야 원상복구 되고 그랬는데 업데이트이후 때문인지 뭔지 모르겠지만 너무 자주 기본키보드로 전환됩니다. 기본키보드로 전환되도 잘써지면 모르겠는데 자음모음 조합이 안되게 ㅇㅣㅅㅏㅇㅎㅏㄱㅔ 이런식으로 써집니다 개열받는데 유료로 하면 사라지나요? 몇년째 쓰고있는데 참고참다 남깁니다

### 3/5 — 2 Reasons I Had to Uninstall

*2026-02-06, version 2.0.5*

1. Limited language support
2. Too cluttered: tuck away the nonsense for god's sake!

### 3/5 — What I've  been looking for... Almost

*2025-11-20, version 2.0.5*

This is exactly what I have been looking for- an app that will let me expand the keyboard upwards… with one thing missing: autocorrect. Otherwise it is absolutely perfect- simple and to the point. I’ll keep it downloaded and hope autocorrect comes eventually (even on the paid version- I would absolutely pay for that feature!)

### 2/5 — Very complicated. Keeps asking permission to paste

*2025-09-26, version 2.0.5*

Why aren’t symbols underneath the letters like in Android?

### 3/5 — Almost Perfect

*2025-06-22, version 2.0.5*

This app has every single keyboard function you could ever want except for swipe to type. That’s the only reason I don’t use this keyboard. If they add that one function I’ll never use the stock keyboard again.

### 4/5 — One of the better keyboard apps

*2025-04-02, version 2.0.5*

This is beyond utility. I've never loved an app so much in my life. It's all I could want from a mobile keyboard. Clipboard functions, custom rows up top, special menus for things like fonts and a number pad...

Sadly, its function lags the keyboard entirely, introducing some latency when hitting the ABC-123 toggle in the bottom left. It's also really easy to crash, and can take a few re-opens to actually use it.

### 5/5 — Nice but...

*2025-02-14, version 2.0.5*

Ok so first of all do we like need to get a premium membership for this keyboard to work like I had it only for 2 weeks and then on monday it just stopped working so I deleted this app, until now because i thought maybe it would let me use the keyboard still and it thankfully did, bro whyyy like just why does it only work for 2 weeks and there no more like am I supposed to buy premium membership just to use this keyboard forever. Ughhh! Anyways just wanted to ask hope you respond Slyder btw I am using the keyboard rn, anyways, hopefully you read ALL of this! Ty!

### 5/5 — 구독은 아니지요

*2025-02-01, version 2.0.5*

그냥 일정금액으로 구입하게 했으면 구입했을텐데 구독은 에바지요. 
자꾸 튕기고 기본 키보드 나오고 이제 이 앱 사용할 이유가 사라졌네요. 
굿바이~

### 5/5 — 이 앱은 너무 좋습니다

*2025-02-01, version 2.0.5*

이 앱을 꼭 다운 받으세요 1.이 앱은 아무데나 (키보드)눌러도 드래깅이 된다 2.이 앱은 색깔도 설정할수있다 3.이 앱에 후원도 할수있다 4.이 앱에 맴버십을 살수있다 5.키보드 바로 위에 이모티콘이 있다 6.키보드 단축키도 설정할수있다 7.단어를 쓰면 위에 그 이모티콘이 올라 온다 (예:키보드에 말이라고 쓰면 🐎이렇게 나온다) 이거보다 휠신더 많지만 아무튼 꼭 이 앱을 다운 받으세용🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — What the…🤨

*2026-04-07, version 2.0.5*

The only keyboard that requires you to sign a 'politeness' agreement, regarding any complaints or questions. Just so I don't upset the creator of this (I don't want them to feel the urge to rush to their 'safe space'), I'll put it here so I won't 'rattle' your lack of a backbone or understanding and acting like an adult.

This app is terrible. It does nothing to stand out from the myriad of other swipe-and-type keyboard apps, except for this one 'politeness' novelty.

I'd suggest you stop living in fantasy land and grow up. If you choose to design and build apps, how about not doing the same old, but instead doing something original and making it the best it can be? Otherwise, just copying others' swipe-and-type apps without 🍼👼🏻👼🏾improvements isn’t very productive.

### 1/5 — Automatic 1 Star

*2026-02-24, version 2.0.5*

This app is being given an automatic one star there’s no reason why the very first thing should be an agreement that demonstrates that this developer is a special kind of snowflake who can’t handle constructive criticism, one negative feedback and therefore want you to enter into an agreement to where you’re not giving negative feedback.

To add insult to injury, the apps App Store page does not indicate there are in app purchases however there’s an entire section devoted to premium and the developer not only has in app purchases, but they are also charging for features that come standard included in most other keyboards and even the ChatGPT option that’s included in the paid subscriptions is actually outdated at this point. 

This app is definitely not worth it and as stated, the developer is a special kind of snowflake

### 1/5 — dogwater

*2026-01-21, version 2.0.5*

paid features? really? on top of that the app opens and asks you to agree to not hurt the developers feelings. childish behavior.

### 1/5 — New update make the ap. Unuseable

*2026-01-08, version 2.0.5*

Before, you could disable the "smart" recomendation bar and use custom folders for free. Now they require a subscription. WHY!? I get that you gotta make money somehow, but THIS? No.
This was the best keyboard. But now? Not even close.

### 1/5 — 개발자가 안티인듯..

*2025-01-11, version 2.0.5*

기꺼이 돈 내고 쓸 용의가 있는데
유료화 됐는데 디자인이 너무 구려짐.
정말 심각할 정도로.. 

전화 와서 문자로 대답할때 슬라이더 키보드가 안나오고 아이폰 기본 키보드만 나와서 한글 입력 안됨. 그리고 특히 카톡할때 슬라이더 키보드가 아예 빈 공백으로 나와서 카톡을 완전 종료하고 다시 켜야함. 슬라이더 카보드 정말 좋아하는데 일주일에 두세번씩 위와 같은 증상을 겪고 나서 지웠습니다. 아이폰 키보드 보다는 확실히 편하고 좋은데 위 증상 때문에 사용하기 꺼려집니다.

### 1/5 — PROBLEM SO ANNOYING

*2024-11-28, version 2.0.4*

WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY CHANGES TO OTHER KEYBOARD LIKE 10 TIME A DAY?
MANY PEOPLE PAY FOR THIS YOU GOTTA FIX THIS PROBLEM DUDE

### 1/5 — False allegations

*2024-10-28, version 2.0.4*

Pretend to not collect data while the app is full of tracking, stay away

### 1/5 — 프로그래머가 만들지 않은 앱

*2024-10-27, version 2.0.4*

개발로 먹고 사는 사람이라면 이번 업뎃에서 즐겨찾기를 롤백했어야 함.
키보드앱에서 중요한건 기본적인 기능을 만족하면서, 화면에 거슬리는게 없어야하는데, 그 두가지를 모두 만족시키지 못함.
버그는 조금 고친 것 같은데, 사용에 있어 거슬리는 뱃지와 즐겨찾기는 여전함.
세상에 많이 쓰이는 키보드 앱에서 아무도 안쓰는 기능을 유료화 협박 수단으로 계속 남기는건 어디에도 없음.

### 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.

### 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!!

### 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..?

### 5/5 — Howww

*2026-04-16, version 2.0.5*

How do I get the keyboard on it won’t let me watch the video😭
      Never mind BEST APp EVErRrRr



Ok new me its good oberall but ig sucks that we have to pay for xool fonts

### 5/5 — Fantastic but crashes :(

*2026-03-25, version 2.0.5*

Extremely amazing but keeps crashing the keyboard when I type certain unicode symbols

To Dev:
To replicate this behavior, try typing a letter followed by U+1DE1. There are more symbols that do this behavior.

### 5/5 — Howww

*2026-03-20, version 2.0.5*

How do I get the keyboard on it won’t let me watch the video😭
      Never mind BEST APp EVErRrRr

### 5/5 — Genius Design very customisable

*2025-09-25, version 2.0.5*

Top bar customization is genius, slide from backspace to delete is genius. So many options i can finally make a keyboard i like. I would like if you could customise the feel of the taptic feedback like strength and sharpness. Also allow customize of buttons left and right of space bar. (I like to have comma left of space bar)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-06-07, version 2.0.5*

I absolutely love this keyboard its wonderful for my large fingers😂

### 5/5 — Very Customizable

*2025-06-03, version 2.0.5*

Great functionality! Allows me to finally add a number row above my keyboard. One suggestion is being able to change the favorite bar if I switch to different layers, it feels kinda weird having two number rows when I switch to the "123" layer.
