decent keyboard, but still has issues with liquid glass layout

As a former android user, I find Typewise preferable to the iPhone keyboard, having numbers, punctuation and capitals available without multiple extra button presses is terrific. I very much miss swipe typing, but I’m getting used to using voice for longer entry boxes. Typewise makes editing small errors in voice entries much easier.

The only real downside is that a year in keyboard hasn’t been updated for liquid glass.
There’s always a strange empty bar at the top of the keyboard and a lot of empty space at the bottom next to the globe and microphone buttons. I’m still using an iPhone 13 mini specifically because of its perfect size. But with Typewise, the keyboard is now more than half the height of the screen.

There’s also a strange bug where sometimes the space where the Typewise keyboard sits, doesn’t clear when the keyboard closes.

They ruined it

Ever since iOS 27 the precision of the keys just doesn’t work anymore. The default iOS keyboard has come such a long way that it makes no sense to put up with how slow this dev updates this. Especially now that they’re an AI company. CRINGE

Awful layout, basic themes stuck behind paywall

Absolutely ridiculous that the comma is not easily accessible without switching to the symbols keyboard. Auto correct is pretty bad. I do appreciate that you can effectively keep the keyboard offline, but that's a feature native to iOS, not this specific keyboard app. Why is the completely black theme - arguably the easiest one to create - locked behind a paywall???
Keyboard strike accuracy is awful. TAPPING ON A SUGGESTED WORD IS LOCKED BEHIND A PAYWALL.

How do you access the comma?

I see a button that has the comma and period and semicolon but no matter what I try I can't see the comma character to choose.

I tried tapping the 123 button but it still doesn't access the comma.

Disappointed

It looked good to begin with, larger keys were nice, but the inability to conveniently switch to any other keyboard than Typewise was a dealbreaker for me. I frequently type in Japanese, which isn't an option in the Typewise language list, so I need to be able to switch back to apples defaut keyboards with ease. I think it's incredibly underhanded to lock people into your own app in such an aggressive way.

Liking my new keyboard!!!

Just starter using the new hex layout and I'm having fun learning it! I would like it if there was an option to move the space keys to the left and right sides!

Sucks

Hard

Unfortunately

I gave this keyboard a few months. Although typing on it feels great—actually better than on any other keyboard—its inability to adapt to my typing style is a major downside, and the failure to learn words I type repeatedly is, unfortunately, just too much.

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

No cyrillic support

Interesting app but it really needs ukrainian (or just cyrillic) support.

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

Wonderful keyboard but missing emoji search and better autocorrect

This is the only keyboard I have been using for the past few years. Love it, but we were promised emoji search and never received it.
As I was writing this, I misspelled wonderful and wrote the word with a w instead of an e, auto correct left it that way. I had to manually fix it. Many times I see words with a w instead of an e and auto correct misses them. I write mostly in Spanish.

bug on the D button

the D button likely to get bug, on iPhone 16 basic

They don’t keep their promises

They promised they’d add Greek language 5y ago. Jul 2026 and still no Greek

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.

Greek language

Still no Greek language support?

Perfectness

I am writing my commenct in English, just to congragulate the developers. I do not understand why that app has such a low score. This is the best and most useful keyboard I have ever used, way better than Apple's weird keyboard. Also, the price is yearly 40 TL, this is like for free 😀 Thanks for that service, really!

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!!!!!!
