No more searching for a better keyboard. This is the one. Thank you very much ### 4/5 — Review *2019-08-30, version 3.0.3* It is not as easy as it advertises it takes a while to know to press and slide the font . ### 5/5 — It is very useful for me I can use it for many *2019-07-09* secret words in a deferent languages and passwords. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-06-13* Selma Eritrawian It is a great app. I appreciated that you left those letters that are not used by Eritreans Well done ### 5/5 — Amazing Job *2019-01-10* That’s what I have been looking for! The keyboard is easy to use and very helpful for Tigrinya learners. I recommend a lot of friends and they already using it. Thank you for the hard work. ### 5/5 — Tigergn is the best helpful *2018-10-23, version 3.0.3* Very very helpful ### 5/5 — I am very grateful for this app! *2018-09-24, version 3.0.3* having no computer anymore and only using iPad & iPhone, I was unable for some time to be able to write Tigrinya, until I found this excellent app, for which I am extremely grateful! I have one request: could the developer pease create a similar keyboard for the Sabaean (South Arabian) alphabet? there is one issue that I wish could be corrected: in some apps on my iPad Pro, such as Facebook, the keyboard is enlarged (zoomed in), and the right-hand keys such as the Delete key are inaccessible. I’d appreciate it if you could look into this. I tried to find a way to send a screen snap showing the problem, but have been unable to do so. ### 5/5 — Keyboards & Autocomplete Suggestions *2018-06-01* Hi Merhawi, Thank you for the development of the Tigrinya/Tigre keyboard. I found it very useful. Please check the Tigre & Tigrinya keyboards for the iPhone. My autocomplete options seem to be reversed. My words autocomplete or suggestion feature for Tigre is on the Tigrinya keyboard while my autocomplete for Tigrinya is on the Tigre keyboard. Thank you for your attention to this matter. With best regards, Michael Tesfai ### 5/5 — Keyboard layout *2017-11-15, version 2.0.7* The board layout is stuck on consonants an is different from qwerty layout. Has no tech support. The website selamalem is offline. So far I have no use of this app but look for other apps. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-10-15* Really good app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It de-installed itself *2024-09-07, version 3.0.5* It was great app but after a year of using it de-installed itself & couldn’t re-install it. ### 1/5 — l *2023-03-14* It doesn’t work with iphone and I couldn’t able to write a sentence at all. ### 1/5 — ደላዪ ምዕባላኹም *2019-12-25* I tried to write you a review in Tigrigna, it was not easy. Just to write a word, not only it took for ever but also with a lot of errors. That’s why I am writing you in English. First, it is so time consuming to type and easy to make typo errors with unnecessary repeatition of alphabets. Why it is not making use of engliSh vowels in making proper writing from geez(first) to sabO(7th)? ካThat is what makes to use this app easy. It is not user friendly. And it is missing important letters such as ቅ ghuteral and others that others mentioned above. IMO, it is not yet ready for market and public use. Make the necessary corrections and come back, please. ### 1/5 — Does not have complete alphabet *2018-12-28* It does not provide the complete Tigrinya alphabet. Limited to the English alphabet translation. ### 1/5 — Incomplete *2017-09-20* Hard to understand,complicated not user friendly ### 1/5 — Not all Geez alphabet ms *2017-08-24* I've never regretted as buying this app. 1) whenever I tried to open it ask me to rate it like there is a spam 2) How come all the Geez alphabets are not included? If all the Geez alphabets are not included it is good for nothing ፀ ሠ ሟ etc ### 1/5 — Awful *2017-02-27, version 1.0.4* I would give it a zero. Do not purchase, the app would not download to my iPad. Took my money. Awful. ### 1/5 — Dislike *2016-09-15, version 1.0.4* I am totally disappointed I don't find it easy to use I never seen like this I use tigrigna fonts all the time this guys charging people for no thing I'll try to get my money back because I can't use it. ### 1/5 — Spelling check *2015-07-25, version 1.0.2* This is my first time using tigrigna app in my phone. I appreciate for the app developer who come up with this idea, how ever I didn't like the spelling check part. There is no enough tigrigna words to write on the spelling corrector. So I wouldn't recommend for others until they fix because I feel like wast of money. ### 1/5 — Huff gn *2015-05-09, version 1.0.2* This is the worst app I have ever seen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great application thank you. *2024-12-02, version 3.0.5* Great application thank you. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-03-08* Great ### 5/5 — So happy to have this app *2024-02-25* So easy to use it ### 5/5 — Tigrinya *2023-11-17, version 3.0.5* Very good ### 5/5 — Ephrem *2023-09-22* I am fully satisfied and recommend to anyone interested. 4 years. Thank you ### 5/5 — Helps *2023-09-04* I have hard time to download your product Tigrinya keyboard and i used most of time and please even i pay for product and still i am not able to use it on my IPad .please help. Thank you Estifanos ### 5/5 — Help *2023-03-07* I’ve been using app for about 4 years & I enjoy using Tigrinya . I just purchased a new iPhone and don’t know how to use it with my new phone. Help! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2022-11-09, version 3.0.5* Great job, love the app. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Sliding the alphabet *2022-09-04* It is very good to have to communicate in the Mather language and your effort is very much appreciated. But I think it would be better if you could make it a little user friendly. My suggestion would be instead of sliding it may be easier the fonts come up when you press the alphabet and instead of sliding one can pick up the vowels instead of sliding. ### 5/5 — Works well *2022-02-21* After using it for a few years, I am now proficient in writing in both Tigringna and Amarigna.
