frustrating
I'm trying to give this keyboard an honest chance...but it's got to be one of the most frustrating keyboards I've used in quite a while
the auto correct works maybe 40-60% of the time
and for some reason the app will change words that are correct to some gibberish.. example I'll type maximum but it'll switch it to maxkljm
extremely frustrating

Update
Time to update
Slow responsiveness and needs larger keys
The typing is slow and the keys in the standard layout need to be larger
Paywall garbage
every decent feature that you might want to use to customize your typing experience is locked behind a paywall. So even though I have limited time with the app, I’m already giving up on it.
Hits and misses
I appreciate the larger keys. The key keyboard takes a little getting used to it, but it’s pretty intuitive. I like the swipe to delete. There are a lot of things to love.
A big problem, though, is it doesn’t remember any of my hashtags words and I can’t attach gifs
That becomes a real problem when my feed is full of #words and I have to keep typing them in over and over.
Kinda defeats the purpose.
Then I have to leave the app to go submit a GIF
I’m not giving up on it just yet, but those are two big barriers for me

Awful. Annoying. Stupid.
This keyboard is awful. The auto correct is incredibly bad, stupid, intrusive and annoying, it renders this app useless.
What a waste of time!
SO INCREDIBLY BAD!!!!!!

Long press city
Paid for a month specifically to get the ? and . button customization, only to find that they weren't customizable at all, only the long press functionality was. Pointless. If I wanted long press to be the solution to everything I'd have stayed with the default iOS keyboard.
Vibration on keypress is the worst offender by far. I type so fast that sometimes it skips a vibration and completely throws me off.
Currently there's no option to have swiping the space bar move the cursor, again you're forced to long press.

Not the best but the privacy is worth it
The main issue i have with it is the letters on the keyboard are too close together. It makes it incredibly easy to make typos and its a bit frustrating. The text predictions are mediocre at best. BUT that being said, its the only keyboard app for iOS that is (hopefully) truly private and not spying on everything you type and collecting and selling your data. Plus points for being swiss based. Will definitely recommend it to people who are seeking privacy over convenience.

Doesn't work, simple as that
Regularly corrects actual words into an incorrect word. As in almost every single time you type a word. Possibly the dumbest "smart" keyboard I've ever used. Completely useless as typing a simple sentance takes six times as long. I used it to type this review and it took almost eight minutes.
Meh
I used Swiftkey for a long time and now because they were bought by Microsoft I dropped them for Typewise. I thought it would do a similar job with more privacy, but absolutely not. Predictive word is bad, correction are weak, both type of keyboard are hard to use and unintuitive. Even the regular one is too tight and hard to use as it types the wrong letters all the time. There is potential, but at the moment I would not recommend it at all.

Response from developer
Thank you for giving Typewise a try and for sharing such detailed feedback. We understand that switching from a keyboard you've used for years comes with high expectations. We'll take your comments into consideration. We appreciate you acknowledging the potential of the product, even if it isn't the right fit for you at the moment.
Fewest typos on iphone
This keyboard is awesome for phones especially iphone. The normal iphone keyboard is a nightmare. This types better and had auto correct that actually works
Great for wider fingertips
I have looked quite a while for a keyboard where I am not inadvertently hitting adjacent keys. None really worked, using standard key layout. Typewise works fantastic, I don't think I ever make a mistake now, genius to use honeycomb hexagons. Takes a little while to get used to the slightly different layout, but totally worth it.

Thank you for your feedback!
Suggestion.
If the first 3 letters in a word are capitalized, offer the entire word capitalized.
How can a modern keyboard not have a swipe feature
And every darn letter is in the wrong place
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that the layout didn't work for you. Typewise uses a different key arrangement than traditional keyboards, and while some users find it easier after an adjustment period, we understand that it can also feel unfamiliar and frustrating if it doesn't match your typing habits. We appreciate you giving it a try.
Every standard keyboard feature paywalled behind a subscription.
Including word suggestions like "it's"
Still better than ios pathetic keyboard.

Useless
Impossible to use as it lacks the ability to easily type symbols and punctuation marks.
Разочарование
Самая красивая и удобная клавиатура, которую я видел. Я даже был готов заплатить $25 за полный доступ, НО тут нет русского! Даже вьетнамский есть, а одного из самых распространенных языков нет.
Abandoned
If I had known that this would have not been kept up to date I would’ve never wasted so much money on the offline version
I’m typing worse on a cool looking keyboard
I only tried the free trial so idk if the logic is fixed when you do a subscription, but the autocorrect is horrible.
I’s will always be undercapitalized, contractions don’t work and it autocorrects words terribly. It will even suggest an autocorrect and just go back to the wrong word, and a giant window will pop up, stoping your work to tell you how to click the top row like you’ve never had that before.
I love the mission for not selling my privacy but the product at the end of the day is still worse than free.
