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 ### 3/5 — Elegant, familiar UI *2020-05-12* 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”. ### 2/5 — Keyboard keep shifting upward *2019-10-01* 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. ### 2/5 — будте добры, исправьте баг *2018-10-03* некорректно ведёт себя с другими клавиатурами (норовит вылезти при переключении языка родной клавиатуры) пользоваться невозможно! ### 4/5 — Good job Rinat ‼️ *2018-10-02* 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Great *2018-09-28* 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. ### 5/5 — Macht genau das was es soll! *2018-09-28* Perfekt integriert als eigenständige Tastatur, zig Symbole, blitzschnell eingefügt. Läuft stabil und ist jeden Cent wert. Der Entwickler antwortet bei Fragen umgehend! Top! ### 5/5 — Spectacularly Useful! *2018-09-27* 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! ### 5/5 — Symbols *2018-07-14* Great app, very easy to use indeed. ### 5/5 — Complete! Handy & reliable iOS 11 *2018-06-07, version 1.4* 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. ### 2/5 — Can’t use with iPad Pro and Keyboard *2017-12-02* 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. ### 5/5 — Looks fantastic. *2017-10-22* And has everything you could imagine. I looked at a bunch of of the free ones but they were awful. This was worth it. ### 5/5 — An extremely useful app *2017-09-29* 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. ### 5/5 — High quality, easy to use *2017-06-03* Developer keeps app up to date. I've had this one for a long time and it is always working smoothly. ### 5/5 — Все замечательно *2017-03-12* Купил, не пожалел ### 5/5 — Best Symbols Keyboard Period *2017-03-05* Long time user of this app. As of the latest update it is again a beautiful and elegantly simple addition to my work flow. Time saver and creativity booster. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poorly compatible and doesn't work properly *2026-03-20* I use Goodnotes and the app isn't working properly. The keyboard fills the entire screen, and sometimes I can't even get out of it. Also, when I only activate my favorites, the keyboard doesn't open. Could you please fix this? I really like the app, but in its current state, I just can't use it properly. For your information, I'm using the app on my iPad. ### 1/5 — Beware *2019-09-21* Agreeing to give full access to this keyboard gives the developer full access to anything you type. ### 1/5 — Useless for math. *2019-06-21, version 1.5* Only good for adding a single missing symbol. Should not populate the math keyboard search on apple app store. ### 1/5 — Does not work in the way it’s advertised. *2018-10-19, version 1.5* Not compatible with iMessage. Only usable as a stand alone app to copy and paste one symbol at a time. ### 1/5 — NOT iOS 10 compatible *2016-12-17, version 1.3* False advertising: Don't download this keyboard if you have iOS 10. (Too bad. It was great while it lasted...) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2016-11-10* Does not work under iOS 10 and the developer has no intention in fixing it anytime soon. ### 1/5 — Broken on iOS 10 *2016-10-23, version 1.3* Continues to be broken on iOS 10. ### 1/5 — Regression *2016-10-20* Regression: fails to load on iPad+iOS10.x. ### 1/5 — Does not work in iOS 10 *2016-10-11, version 1.3* The keyboard does not show up with the symbols in iOS 10. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Broken in iOS 10 *2016-09-17, version 1.3* I loved this keyboard and now it's broken under iOS 10. Will there be an update or will this app be abandoned by the author? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 —  nützlich! 👍🖌️ *2024-11-11* Ich benutze fast immer diese App, wenn ich in einem Text Sonderzeichen benötige. Weil man Favoriten anlegen kann, passt es schnell und einfach in den Workflow. ### 5/5 — Great app. Very useful *2022-09-27* But please update it ### 5/5 — Sehr nützlich *2021-09-18* Hilfreiche App für Texte mit technischen Inhalt und Sonderzeichen. Erfüllt meine Erwartungen. ### 5/5 — Sehr gut! *2020-04-18* Mit diese App hat man Zugriff auf den vollständigen Zeichensatz. Einfach zu bedienen - empfehlenswert! ### 5/5 — Best keyboard for symbols! *2019-12-26, version 1.5* Can you please include the Fitzpatrick modifiers? (Skin tone icons) 🏼 🏽 🏾 🏿 ### 5/5 — Ios 13.1.4 *2019-11-24* Нормально. ### 5/5 — Ooh, very nice. *2019-05-03* Like it. Lots and lots of characters arranged logically and easy to access. ❨❩❮❯❴❵√∛∜! ### 5/5 — Der Euro wert ! ! ! :) *2019-04-01* Die App ist einfach toll, nützlich und wunderbar :)) Ich habe noch kleine Verbesserungsvorschläge, die mir persönlich fehlen: • eine Bestätigung beim Drücken einer Taste/Symbol in Form einer kurzzeitigen Farbänderung des Buchstabens oder Hintergrundes (wie bei der normalen Tastatur) • bestimmte Symbole/Zeichen aus der Tastatur nicht angezeigt werden können (wie das mit den Kategorien möglich ist). • ein breitere in der Mitte liegende Leertaste (wie bei der normalen Tastatur) als extra: • sobald ein Symbol getippt wurde und dann die Leertaste in der Tastatur(der App) gedrückt wir springt man wieder zur normalen Tastatur zurück (vergleichbar mit der zweiten Ebene der normalen Tastatur) Ich freue mich sehr über Umsetzungen :3 ### 5/5 — very useful *2019-01-07, version 1.5* Great. ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2018-11-28* This is superb for finding obscure characters. Presented very elegantly and cleanly. This app was made by a hero.
