Awkward to use, frequently gets wrong character
I tried using this app on my iPhone and iPad Pro and both were extremely awkward to use. On the iPhone version, they keys are too close together so its difficult to type with any accuracy. On the ipad version, the keys are too far apart. It would be useful if you could adjust the key spacing on your own to find a comfortable typing pattern. As it stands, my hands strain far too much for this to be an effective tool. It would be very cool if it could use 6-key input from a standard keyboard (like Perky Duck) as this would solve all of the key input issues.

Saved files are blank
Why is this happening... I create a file and it is blank if I email it or try to send it to anyone, rendering this app worthless.
Workaround for three finger letters
If you tap three fingers at the same the IOS glitch of showing the undo/copy/paste bar does still appear. But, if you try “drumming” your fingers quickly. It does work and registers the correct letter. Think of drumming your fingers when you’re bored or trying to think. All of your fingers don’t hit at the same exact time, they go in quick succession. I’ve only had the app today so not a lot of experience with it. So far so good once I figured that out.

Doesn’t register button presses most of the time
There’s no way to write faster than 1 letter every 30 seconds, because it takes 2-5 tries for a letter to register correctly and load in. Not good.
Amazing!
For a free app this is absolutely excellent. Working with blind and VI children this is excellent for me practicing my Braille and for the children to work on and send Braille files. The only draw back I would say is that sometimes holding multiple keys can be quite difficult and you have to press them individually then release at the same time which makes the experience very different from using a Perkins machine for example. It would also be nice if there was a built in zoom function or the ability to change the size of the Braille display so that visually impaired people can use this more easily. But honestly for free? Yes this is 100% worth it.
