Cannot use without having a superfluous amount

There are too many symbols and you cannot pick and choose. Therefore when you bring it up you must sift through a large amount to find the one you need. If you try to make a favorites list and only use those then they keyboard doesn’t work. It’s okay, but I’m sure there is something better

Great app. Very useful

But please update it

Elegant, familiar UI

I love the fact that this adopted a UI familiar with anyone looking up Unicode symbols on macOS.

A few suggestions:

1. There doesn’t seem to be any way to see the description of the symbol. Sometimes there are very similar symbols and it’s useful to see the description so one can differentiate between them (e.g. what’s the difference between “–”, “—”, and “‒”).

2. Some symbols are missing or can’t be found. E.g. where is 𝓍 symbol? That’s the “mathematical script small x”. I can get lots of other examples if you need them.

3. I with there was a “related symbol” feature. E.g. Often we’re looking for a symbol that is related to the one we’re searching for. E.g. searching for “2” should show matches like “²”, “₂”, “②”, etc. There are 23 related symbols to the number “2”.

Best keyboard for symbols!

Can you please include the Fitzpatrick modifiers? (Skin tone icons)

Ios 13.1.4

Нормально.

Keyboard keep shifting upward

It is every useful app but it keep shifts upward and eventually I don’t see anything but keyboard. We all pay for this app but obviously developer updated an year ago. I wish there is other good keyboard app.

Beware

Agreeing to give full access to this keyboard gives the developer full access to anything you type.

Useless for math.

Only good for adding a single missing symbol. Should not populate the math keyboard search on apple app store.

Ooh, very nice.

Like it. Lots and lots of characters arranged logically and easy to access. ❨❩❮❯❴❵√∛∜!

very useful

Great.

Absolutely amazing

This is superb for finding obscure characters. Presented very elegantly and cleanly. This app was made by a hero.

TIP:
- long press and hold to add to favourite
- just tap normally to copy to clipboard

Does not work in the way it’s advertised.

Not compatible with iMessage. Only usable as a stand alone app to copy and paste one symbol at a time.

будте добры, исправьте баг

некорректно ведёт себя с другими клавиатурами (норовит вылезти при переключении языка родной клавиатуры) пользоваться невозможно!

Great

First of all thank you for this great app I really love it, it's very useful but it lacks something; Flexibility, every time I change from - to the keyboard, it hangs a bit then it opens... I really hope you fix this ASAP, 5 stars to support you.

Spectacularly Useful!

I’ve been using this app for years and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for those rare characters that they need to add to a text document.

Something I’d like to see from the developers (if possible) is a iMessage app to use, similar to the actual app. I love the keyboard, but I think the app within iMessage would be much more useful for me. I’d even pay extra for it! ;) - Just a thought. Otherwise, we’ll worth it for productivity reasons. Much love!

Symbols

Great app, very easy to use indeed.

Complete! Handy & reliable iOS 11

Still my go-to EZ keyboard for quick access to symbols. No crashes or bugs = GR8! It’s speedy; small memory footprint.

I have tested 4 top keyboards that are supposed to be math/science/ special character keyboards.

This app’s "Favorites" feature is the best thing about this one. *And* it is important because the developer has included TOO MANY symbols. It could makes finding the one you want take longer.

Runs reliably in testing over 7 weeks with iPhone 8 running iOS 11.4

#RECOMMENDED !!

Feedback:
- could remove the emojis option because they add more clutter and are best accessed with the std. dedicated emoji keyboard.
-------------------
I will keep this keyboard installed and hope for updates and a chance to review it again.

Can’t use with iPad Pro and Keyboard

Man, I really like the simplicity of this app an the way that I could assemble a list of favorite glyphs - but then I discovered that it doesn’t work with my iPad Pro and it’s Apple keyboard/case. I mean, I can go to the app and put a single character on the clipboard - but I wanted immediate access. I am a word processing pro in need of a symbol set generator and this app did not fit the bill.

Looks fantastic.

And has everything you could imagine. I looked at a bunch of of the free ones but they were awful. This was worth it.

An extremely useful app

Updated review: This is still a very useful app for me. I love having the superscript and subscript numbers. The degree sign, the trademark superscript. It’s all been wonderful. This morning, I updated to iOS 11 and the app automatically goes to my recents screen and I can’t get back to the selection screen.

My day to day life exists in the world of Windows and I use the alt+ codes frequently. So upon getting my iPhone years ago, there was frustration when I couldn't find or create the symbols I wanted to use when typing emails or notes.

This app has practically everything one could need for creating anything, from a document to mathematical formulas to a recipe.
