### 5/5 — Lan Kim Do

Vietnam and English keyboard

### 2/5 — So small and hard to type

*2023-11-30*

So upset to loose $5

**Developer response:** Version 2.0 of the app has a taller keyboard to give your fingers larger targets.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-06-27*

I had been looking for this app for a long time. Glad I found it. It's simple and easy to use. Thanks

### 5/5 — Excellent Việt keyboard

*2018-04-06*

On laptop/desktop computers with non–programmable physical keyboards, I believe best way to type tiếng Việt is with telex/viqr/vni input method. But for smartphone/tablet, I believe this visual keyboard is best. 

To developer: if you could develop this same app for Android platform, it would be great.

### 5/5 — That's designed for me!

*2016-01-13*

Yeah!!! Finally, a keyboard where I can see all the keys easily in order to type Vietnamese as fast as I could. The keyboard lets me key each letter and tone the way I normally think and write the language! (Gõ tiếng việt nhanh và dễ dàng gióng như mình đang cầm bút viết chữ và bỏ dấu).
