### 3/5 — Waste of my money

*2014-11-25*

Works somewhat but too many issues to list. Not the worst though.

### 3/5 — A Good Start

*2014-10-18, version 1.2*

This is definitely a good start, but please make the landscape mode the normal size keyboard or make it a split keyboard like the iPad.

### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work.

*2014-10-16*

It's a great concept, but needs a lot of work. I see there will be an update soon but some suggestions on what to fix wouldn't hurt. 

-doesn't make sound as you type. 
-predictive text is a big one. 
-I'm left handed, but ALWAYS starts on the right. 
-doesn't work on certain apps.
-you can't hold the delete button and erase long sentences. You'd have to keep pressing delete. 

Hopefully you guys can fix this soon and help convince me that the .99 cents was worth getting this app.

### 2/5 — No auto-capitalization or spelling correction

*2014-10-07*

The keyboard is a great one handed keyboard, but you don't realize how convenient some of the little tricks Apple has on its keyboard (ie spelling, auto capitalization, and the letter getting bigger when you tap it) that really make this keyboard unusable. Not worth the $1 right now.  Hopefully the developer addresses these issues.

### 4/5 — The right idea; bare bones implementation

*2014-10-03*

This is exactly what I wanted on my 6 Plus with my small thumbs.  Perfectly named.  It works as stated, but you will work too.  It reminds me of a keyboard on a computer: it types only what you type; no predictive suggestions or autocorrect.  The letters don't even pop up so you can see what you touched.  Bare bones, but it does what I wanted, what I needed, so 4 stars instead of 3.  To be excellent, though, and for me revise to 5 stars, it needs the functionality stated above.  Currently there are no other keyboards that I could find that  allow one thumb typing with a squished keyboard.  Hope the dev wants to takes the lead over the competition and swiftly updates with features.

### 2/5 — Good Direction (Need to tweak a bit)

*2014-10-03*

Layout seems fine. However, you lose the functionality of the hands-free dictate button Apple provides on the standard keyboard. You also lose AutoCorrect functionality and word suggestions.

### 3/5 — Needs predictive type suggestions.

*2014-10-03, version 1.1*

Would be legit if it had predictive type suggestions. Otherwise good.

### 3/5 — Keyboard

*2014-10-03*

It would be nice if it worked like the original keyboard with the spell check, I find my self hitting the backspace button more then an actual letter.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not for the iPhone 7+

*2016-10-21*

Squishes to one side but makes the keyboard super tall.

### 1/5 — Something ain't right...

*2016-10-09*

On my new iPhone 7+, sure it squishes the keyboard over to the side of the screen... but it also takes up 2/3 the HEIGHT of the screen.  I can reach the keys but I can't see what I'm typing into!

### 1/5 — False Advertising, no suggested typing

*2015-01-01, version 1.5*

The suggested typing in the pictures does not happen. Garbage app.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2014-10-17, version 1.2*

Poorly executed.

### 1/5 — Need a lot of work

*2014-10-16, version 1.2*

The save button don't work so it's stay the same size as default keyboard and autocorrect is not working. Not to speak about supporting deferent languages. Need a lot of work to get 5 stars nice idea but not really ready

### 2/5 — Very poor spell check.

*2014-12-21*

The spell check is so bad it makes the keyboard more time consuming to use than anything. The screenshots also show the spell-correct suggestions, which do not exist in the actual keyboard. It's a shame because the keyboard itself works fine and is just what I was looking for.

### 2/5 — Good Idea Poor Execution

*2014-11-15*

The keyboard is a good idea and it looks exactly like a squashed version of the standard keyboard, but it's not, it has some form of auto correct but it's not great, I find myself pressing delete or backspace way more often than with the standard keyboard. It also covers the screen oddly, for example when writing this review you can't see the title or the stars. Basically I just wanted a smaller version off the Apple keyboard for my 6 Plus, and now I just want my dollar back.

### 2/5 — Good concept. Poor execution.

*2014-10-29*

I searched the App Store for a keyboard like this. But it needs spell check, auto caps, the keys get stuck or type double and sometimes triple taps. And the arrow to switch sides looks bad. Please fix these things.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2014-10-28, version 1.2*

The keyboard resizing is great and customizing it is great. But when you push one letter it will type it 2or 3 times. Not very responsive or fast. Needs a lot of tune up to be replacing the native keyboard. As it stands nearly unusable.

### 2/5 — It's a start

*2014-10-16, version 1.2*

Keyboard is too sensitive. No Predictive txt
No auto cap. I'll stay tuned.

### 5/5 — Great update

*2015-04-03*

Now much improved autocorrect and the ability to resize the keyboard. And I like that they do use network acres more secure than keyboard that do

### 5/5 — Great one thumb typing!

*2014-11-14*

Makes typing on the 6 plus much easier.

Nice to see a company updating their software and listening to customers!

### 5/5 — LOVE IT!

*2014-11-12, version 1.4*

This app is friggin boss! TOTALLY worth the 99c! Loving the customization!

### 5/5 — Best one-handed keyboard with autocorrect!

*2014-11-11*

There are a lot of crucial updates to this version of Squishkey. 

Autocorrect works great, it's way easier to delete text, there is predictive text, and there are many little bug fixes as well. 

Great update guys!

### 5/5 — Super helpful for 6+ users!

*2014-10-02*

Throw back to the keyboard I used on my droid makes it real easy to type one handed with apples new monster.

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2014-10-02*

This app is great! It has made typing on my iPhone 6 so much easier!

### 5/5 — One handed typing is back!!

*2014-10-02*

I was unsure of my new iPhone because I couldn't type with one hand. SquishKey brings that ability back and now I love my phone!

### 4/5 — Very good so far

*2017-09-01*

just used it a few days but I really enjoy it . Easy to type with my 6s .

### 4/5 — Great start that could still use a few tweaks

*2014-11-13*

It was hard writing an app review with this actual keyboard because it made the stars and title disappear. Nevertheless, this keyboard is a great start for one-handed users.

It doesn't need full access to the Internet, so I feel more secure about using this over other third-party keyboards. Don't really like the "squish" look when you hit the keys, but it's not so noticeable when you're typing fast.

The autocorrect seems clunky compared to the native keyboard and the left or right-side orientation doesn't seem to save (always defaults to the right, and I'm a lefty).

Lastly, I'm hoping the developer could make two different width settings for landscape and portrait mode.

Overall, it was worth the initial cost and I hope it continues improving.

### 4/5 — REALLY DOES THE JOB. Just needs

*2014-10-14*

auto correct, auto capitalization and feature to "add to dictionary", along with a swype type feature and it'll be the best keyboard in the App Store
