### 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.

### 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.

### 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!

### 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

### 3/5 — Mauvais remplacement de texte

*2022-11-03*

La disposition du clavier nécessité un peu dadaptation mais après ça passer. 

Hey moins ,  le gros defaut de ce cladier et le remplacement du yexye en cas terreur. 

Le claviqr remplaCe des mots par d'autres quand il n'y a pas besoin ,  il ajoute rarement des accents ou alors en cuangeant le mpt , ne change pas les mots avec des autes de tapes et il ne saDapte pas au contexte . 

Avis redigq tel quel ,  sans changer manuellement les mots .  

Voyez le résultat

### 4/5 — Fasst perfekt

*2022-10-28*

Guter Konzept und funktioniert wie beworben.
1 Stern abzug weil der Prädiktion nicht so gut funktioniert wie bei andere Tastaturen.
Ich schreibe meine Email Adresse minimum zweimal am Tag mit den Tastatur, trotzdem wird es als Prädiktion nie angezeigt.
Gleiche mit Adressen, Tel Nummern.
Damit ist der Zeit was man mit schnellen tippen gewonnen hat gleich weg. Ich hoffe das App wird langfristig weiter entwickelt, dann hat sich der Preis gelohnt.

### 2/5 — Typewise offline braucht zu viel Strom

*2022-10-23*

Grundsätzlich war ich ein großer Fan der Typewise Tastatur, zudem habe ich 24,99€ für die offline Version ausgegeben. Es ist für mich nach 6 Monaten Nutzung nicht weiter zumutbar dass die App täglich rund 20-25% meines Akkus verbraucht auf Platz 2 meiner App Verbrauchsstatistik. Betonen möchte ich dass ich kein Power User bin der ständig Posts verfasst. Wäre dem so könnte ich den hohen Stromverbrauch eventuell nachvollziehen. Schade, Typewise ist ein gutes Konzept, wird von mir aber nicht weiter genutzt da der Akku strapaziert wird.

### 4/5 — Tolle Anpassung der Tastatur

*2022-06-01*

Nach der Umgewöhnung geht die Tastatur doch relativ gut von der Hand. Vor allem die "Wischsteuerung" spricht mich sehr an. Toll wäre noch die Möglichkeit die Vibrationsstärke des Feedbacks zu variieren, dann würde ich auch noch 5 Sterne geben ;)

### 3/5 — I used to have a blackberry..

*2022-02-03, version 3.2.7*

I used to have blackberry keyone, so when I switched to the iPhone it was very difficult for me to type fast. I tried out the free version of this app and found I typed a little faster than the regular keyboard. I got the paid offline version. Lately though when I tried switching back, I've realized that I am actually faster on the original iPhone keyboard. Still not as fast or as accurate as on my blackberry (gosh how I miss physical keyboard), but definitely a whole lot faster than when I use Typewise. The one feature I wish I could keep on the iPhone keyboard is sliding to delete. Every keyboard should have that feature.  Other than that, there isn't a reason for me to use the Typewise keyboard.

### 2/5 — Vibration

*2021-03-03, version 2.6.7*

I have been using Typewise pro for years on android, and I've been loving it. Unfortunately it's not possible to adjust the vibration intensity on iOS and it ruins the whole experience when typinng.

### 5/5 — Super

*2021-02-12*

Nach einer gewissen Eingewöhnungszeit funktioniert das Tippen super. Die Funktionsweise ist wirklich innovativ und genial. Als einziges würde ich mir nur wünschen, dass man die Farbe der Smart Bar anpassen kann.

**Developer response:** Hi Faster, besten Dank für dein Feedback! Du kannst in unserem Suggestion-Portal hier für deine Idee voten: https://suggestions.typewise.app/suggestions/65489/customizable-theme-colors - Wir entwickeln Typewise ständig weiter - stay tuned for more :-) Dein Typewise Team

### 4/5 — Discovery

*2021-02-05*

Hi compliment to this developer. Am still on discovery to see how great it is. But am looking forward for a theme of high definition.

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2021-01-13, version 2.6.7*

Yes it has improved my speed.

### 5/5 — Super und große Hilfe!

*2021-01-13*

Die Eingewöhnungszeit war sehr kurz, zunehmend und schnell erlernte ich die Feinheiten der Handhabung auch Dank der sehr guten Hilfen. 
Die Vorschläge funktionieren super. Also, insgesamt eine volle Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — Erstaunte Rückfragen zuhauf!

*2020-12-06*

Meine Gegenüber sind zumeist älteren Herstellungsdatums und nIcht so sehr im texten geübt, diese sind ob der Geschwindigkeit meiner Antworten zuweilen sogar gestresst! 😈

### 4/5 — Getting better

*2020-08-25, version 2.4*

Its definitely getting better, and it's getting easier to type faster! Great!

### 3/5 — Type faster

*2020-08-12*

Once you learn how to use it, Typewise is a pretty good replacement for traditional keyboards.
UPDATE: Houston, we have a problem. I use Typewise Pro on my iPhone to type both in ltalian and in English (US). When I type Italian sentences, Typewise correctly autodetects Italian (which I set as primary language in Typewise settings) and prompts suggestions from the Italian dictionary. Great! Sometimes, though, it auto corrects some words it doesn't know. Fair enough as long as it's an uncommon word, but most annoyingly Typewise always changes the extremely frequent word 'con' (Italian for 'with') to 'don' or 'cod', 'cob', 'com' or 'co' (as if it switches to English? 'Con' is an English word too. But why change it anyway?).  I manually edit it back to 'con'  every time with the pencil,  but Typewise never learns. 
I hope you can fix that! At least let us manually set the language. 

Besides, this keyboard doesn't recognize a word after a bracket (no prompts in any language). Neither does it prompt suggestions when I select a word in the text I wrote.

**Developer response:** Hi there Cat on the table! 🐱  Typewise automatically learns the word you type. If you notice a wrong correction it's important that you undo it by tapping on the notification in the Smart Bar above the keyboard (and do not manually rewrite that word, otherwise Typewise won't learn it) So, when the word "con" is corrected by Typewise, just press the notification in the SmartBar to change it back to the right spelling of "con", then Typewise learns what you actually wanted to type and will improve over time. 😎

### 1/5 — Sigue sin corregir

*2018-07-07*

No corrige las palabras en ningun momento

**Developer response:** Hola Crisalx - lo siento que no functiona para ti como describimos. Has selectionado Español como idioma en la configuracion? Si quieres probar el nuevo V2.0 que es mucho mejor, por favor mandanos un correo a: app@wrio-keyboard.com - gracias & saludos, tu equipo de WRIO

### 1/5 — NOT WORTH MONEY

*2018-07-04, version 1.4.3*

NOT WORTH THE MONEY!
Difficult to swipe backwards (in fact I CANT) to delete unwanted text! IMPOSSIBLE to do.  I’ve wasted more time trying to delete....
Special characters? Nope can’t get them either!
TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!
DONT PURCHASE!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-03-16, version 1.2.4*

Swipe up doeant woak takes forava to find keys

### 1/5 — No Russian language

*2016-10-21*

If you enable this app for Russian market, please add Russian language support. Ridiculous
Upd: Still no Russian. Crap. Please disable it for Russian customers then.

**Developer response:** Hi there, others have also requested Russian, you can vote for it on our community: http://community.wrio-keyboard.com/topic/add-the-ukrainian-and-russian-languages - we will implement it, but we first want to finalize corrections/predictions. Thanks, your WRIO team

### 1/5 — Too Early; Tired of Waiting

*2016-08-03, version 1.1.1*

I was previously really excited about this keyboard, but it was simply released too early. First no auto correct, then too much time between promised updates that fell flat. 

A revolutionary new keyboard with no correction feature? 

In the end it needs a ton more beta testing, needs to drop about $1- $2 off of the $3.99 price, and also needs to be more customizable for users. Don't bother with it until any of these happen.

### 1/5 — Switch glitch between keyboards

*2016-07-08, version 1.1*

When I type the 123 key, then the app often switches to normal iOS keyboard instead of going to the numbers and char page.

### 1/5 — Useless Update

*2016-07-07, version 1.1.1*

Second time now....still the auto correction feature isn't activating....what's happening guy's?

### 1/5 — Broken

*2016-07-07, version 1.1*

Wrio implements some good ideas such as swiping for caps and backspace, swiping forward to undo erase, and a few others.

Unfortunately the latest version is broken, the keyboard frequently refuses to appear and the only way to fix it is to kill the app I'm currently using. It's frustrating considering Wrio's price.

### 1/5 — Horrible para español

*2016-07-02*

No autocorrige en este idioma, no es posible colocar otros signos como la diéresis u otro signo sobre las vocales o consonantes especiales. Se sugiere pensar bien antes de adquirir la app.

**Developer response:** Hola Vladtemoc, gracias para tu feedback. Ya has probaste la version 1.3? La correction es mucho mejor. Tienes que poner Español en la configuración en el app y WRIO automaticamente corrige errores (por ejemplo, hpla --> hola). Estamos trabajando para nuevas funciones buenísimas! Saludos, tu WRIO equipo

### 1/5 — Не поддерживает Русский язык

*2016-07-01*

Нет русской клавиатуры

**Developer response:** Hi iKernn, thanks for your feedback. We'll add additional languages, you can vote for Russian here: http://community.wrio-keyboard.com/topic/add-the-ukrainian-and-russian-languages - Cheers, your WRIO team

### 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

### 5/5 — Great product

*2024-10-31*

Good

### 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!!

### 5/5 — Almost there, again🤓

*2023-08-26*

Getting better and better ... missing the dark blue theme and the possibility to change the size of the caps, two fonctions still advertised in your presentation.
All in all, to the Devs for this beautiful innovation of a board, and the privacy! Cheerio 🙏🏽

### 5/5 — Sehr gut

*2022-01-23*

Ich benutze Typewise schon eine Weile und bin sehr zufrieden. Ich mag die grösseren Felder für jeden Buchstaben und sobald man sich umgewöhnt hat, geht das Tippen viel besser als mit der normalen Tastatur. Womit ich noch nicht ganz zufrieden bin, ist dass bei einigen Apps (Threema, Signal) Typewise einige Zeit braucht, um beim Öffnen der Apps aufzutauchen und funktionsfähig zu sein. Es dauert häufig einige Sekunden. Vielleicht kann man das noch anpassen? Ansonsten top App 👌🏻👌🏻

### 5/5 — Best smartphone keyboard ever!

*2021-12-13*

Let

### 5/5 — missing it already on other devices

*2021-03-30, version 2.6.7*

After I'm using it for a while, it's simpy incredible! I'm much faster as with the Apple keyboard, especially on the iPad, and missing it if I have to use a device where it's not installed. Thanks to the developers, great job ☺️☺️☺️

### 5/5 — The only keyboard that I use

*2021-03-23, version 2.6.7*

There is a learning curve but it is totally worth it.  In the early days, the autocorrect used to be a huge issue but it has been corrected and so now the typing experience is absolutely superb!

### 5/5 — Excelente Keyboard

*2021-02-13*

Já uso faz anos. Recomendo demais! Muito fácil e ágil de utilizar.

**Developer response:** Hi Rachid, thanks for your feedback! Please sign up for our new V2.0 which is much better: https://typewise.survey.fm/beta - Cheers, your Typewise team

### 5/5 — Fenomenal

*2021-02-12*

Llevo usándolo desde que salio por primera vez y sigo tan contento con ello como el primer día
