DID YOU KNOW?
Current keyboards are based on the 140-year-old mechanical typewriter layout. Typewise is different. It’s the first keyboard that is specifically designed for smartphones. It’s revolutionary yet easy to use, and after a couple of messages you’ll love it.
 
80% FEWER TYPOS
A recent study with 37,000 participants showed that on current keyboards 1 out of 5 words contains typos. With Typewise you finally get rid of these ARRGGHH-moments. Thanks to the hexagon layout, keys are 70% larger and much easier to hit. This reduces typos by 80%.

INTUITIVE GESTURES
Swipe up to capitalize a letter, swipe left to delete or swipe right to restore. It's as simple as that.

SMART AUTOCORRECT
Stop getting annoyed by wrong autocorrections or senseless predictions. Typewise learns what you type and helps you write that perfect sentence.

100% PRIVACY
What you write is personal. That's why the keyboard does NOT require “full access” and none of your typing data is transmitted to the cloud.

SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGES
Having to switch between different languages is cumbersome. With Typewise you can write in all your languages at once. Choose from 40+ languages and type in the accents you really need. Typewise supports:
- English (United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada)
- Afrikaans
- Albanian
- Basque
- Breton
- Catalan
- Croatian
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch (Belgium, Netherlands)
- Estonian
- Filipino
- Finnish
- French (France, Canada, Switzerland)
- Galician
- German (Austria, Germany, Switzerland)

### 4/5 — Really good, with only minor drawbacks

*2026-08-31, version 4.1.2*

Adapting here was extremely easy, and has done wonders for my wrist and hand pain. Basically my only gripes were having to add in some common punctuation as hold options, and a persistent issue with using it on my ipad - when i use an external keyboard to write while the typewise keyboard is enabled, it continues to appear on the screen even if Tablet Mode is disabled. I love it on my phone but ipad use needs some work.

### 4/5 — Good but can use some work

*2026-02-17, version 4.1.2*

I love the fact that its an offline keyboard but there's a couple things I'd fix/suggest. 

For one give people the choice of swipe to type or to use gestures, there's no swipe to type option because of the gestures but people should still have a choice of one or the other. I do love the space, backspace, punctuation, and uppercase character gestures though. 

Also you need to do some more work with the autocorrect function. Words like hes shes theyve id i, should autocorrect to he's she's they've I'd and I. I had to manually add these as text replacements and there's more I'll need to do.

Allow us the option of using a number row. Not the row where you long press letters to access numbers. A real number row.

Finally, if you can make the both the hexagonal and standard keyboards bigger if we take away buttons like the space bar, backspace etc. Less mistakes with bigger buttons.

### 5/5 — Pequeño error

*2024-11-08*

Al clicar la tecla que incluye los dos puntos,el punto y la coma solo se abren los dos puntos y el punto y coma,pero no la coma.

**Developer response:** Hola Montorao, lo sentamos que WRIO no funciona bien para ti. Para borrar puedes hacer un "Swipe left". Has visto el Tutorial en el app? Trabajamos para mejorar el tutorial para explicar el diseño mejor. Gracias y saludos, tu WRIO equipo

### 2/5 — A disappointed.

*2024-11-08, version 4.0.11*

The space bar backspace and deletion reverse does not work. I am using an iPhone 15 with iOS 18.1. I hope the Typewise developers fix this issue soon. If this keyboard worked well it be incredible software.

### 4/5 — Letztes Update

*2024-11-07*

Ich nutze die App schon sehr lange. Allerdings ist die Rechtschreibprüfung nicht gut. Zusammengesetzte Wörter werden getrennt und die Groß- und Kleinschreibung scheint den Macherinnen der App unbekannt zu sein. Weiterhin werden ganze Wörter entfernt, wenn man die Autokorrektur nutzt. Und das nur, weil zwischen dem korrigierten und dem nächsten, nicht zu korrigierenden Wort kein Leerzeichen steht.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2024-10-31*

Good

### 4/5 — Great, but…

*2024-10-30, version 4.0.11*

I love the fact that this keyboard is private. I also love the ‘dialect’ feature!
However, text prediction in English are rather slow and often completely out of context. So, for English I often find myself using a different keyboard.
Maybe this ‘not so smart text prediction’ is the price for privacy. If so, I am willing to pay it. If not, please, dear developers, improve the text prediction features!

### 5/5 — The keyboard I need

*2023-11-16, version 4.0.8*

The design of this keyboard is what my fingers need.   There was a learning curve, but the amount of mis-typed characters is so much lower with the Typewise keyboard, that the learning curve was well worth the effort!!

### 4/5 — Gut, aber hoher Akkuverbrauch

*2023-10-22*

Nachdem ich die online-Version der App einige Tage ausprobiert habe und ich mich überraschenderweise recht schnell an diese Art der Tastatur gewöhnt habe, entschloss ich mich, die offline-Variante der App "lifetime" zuzulegen. Als Lifetime-Lizenz konnte ich die online-Version der App nicht im Appstore finden. Hinsichtlich der Möglichkeiten als Nutzer konnte ich jedoch keine Unterschiede zwischen beiden Versionen finden.

Hinsichtlich der Nutzung bin ich - je länger ich die Tastatur verwende - immer begeisteter. Leider musste auch ich in beiden Versionen der App einen hohen Stromverbrauch feststellen. Hoffe, dass sich dieses Problem mit längerer Verwendung der App vermindert. 

Den Mindset der Gründer der App hinsichtlich Datenschutz finde ich sehr unterstützenswert. Deswegen habe ich mich auch für eine bezahlte Version der App entschieden.

### 3/5 — Need an update

*2023-10-02, version 4.0.7*

I'm in love with this hexagonal keyboard, and his privacy. But since this update and/or ios 17 I can't scroll trough the emojis anymore :/
And by the way, the ios keyboard come back sometimes for no reason
