### 5/5 — BEST KEYBOARD EVER

*2026-07-15*

I find myself using this every day! 5 STARS

### 3/5 — It’s a good thought

*2026-05-19*

I wish I chould use keyboard within iMessage but, you have to open the app. Then  type what your want and then add the contact/s you want to text. I personally think this is a hassle. just to be able to use a keyboard on my watch. While this app  has goo features for example changing the color and font(etc), but these changes require a fee to be able to use. So this app is a good choice if you want to use app that requires you to the text within the app. So I’m gonna give it 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️’s.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-02-16*

It's annoying because I can't do anything without paying.

**Developer response:** We sincerely apologize that the app feels restrictive. Basic features are free in this app. Only some advanced features require payment. Please contact us at https://support.bitsbaker.com/watchtype if you have more questions.

### 5/5 — Ate a whole

*2026-02-02*

Right now I’m not 
Going

**Developer response:** We noticed your review was cut off and wanted to make sure you're happy with WatchType. Have a good day!

### 4/5 — Be honest about this

*2025-12-22*

I’ve recently downloaded this app to use for texting on my watch it is very useful, but my first impressions on this app is that the keyboard is very hard to to type with because it can easily type the wrong letter. I also thing there should be more free fonts and themes to choose for a free experience, but overall the app is good and helpful when texting on the watch. 😊

### 1/5 — Lie!

*2025-03-18*

You have to pay in order to use the app… then the app doesn’t work

**Developer response:** Basic features are free, and paid version is only for advanced features. If the app isn't functioning as expected, please reach out to us at support@bitsbaker.com. We would like to assist you further and resolve any issues you are experiencing. Thank you for your understanding.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2025-01-21*

Overall I think the app is pretty good but I think some themes and fonts should be free because those are some of the main reasons I got the app but then it turns out that I basically have to by them.So I have mixed feelings about the app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you think the app is pretty good. We understand your concerns regarding the pricing of some themes and fonts. Our intention is to provide a variety of options, but we appreciate your thoughts on making more free choices available.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-12-29*

Good app but only the normal keyboard is free

**Developer response:** Thank you for your positive review! We're glad to hear you find the app good. We do offer a free version with the standard keyboard, and we provide fonts and other advanced features as paid for better maintenance. If you have any further feedback or questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@bitsbaker.com. We appreciate your support!

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-12-15*

It would be nice to have a few options with the free font.  You only receive just the one but that’s better than none.  Because all others you have to pay for them all.  So we will see if this works!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your suggestions regarding more options for the free font. We are always looking to improve the user experience, and your input is valuable to us. If you have any more suggestions or questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@bitsbaker.com. We hope you enjoy using WatchType!

### 4/5 — It’s a ok app

*2024-10-13*

Ok so it’s a good app and you don’t have to pay for it unless you want to have a different font or something like that. The only bad thing is you have to type out the message then go find the contact. Other than that it’s great!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you find the app good and appreciate the free features. We understand that having to type out the message before finding the contact can be inconvenient. Your input is valuable, and we're always looking to improve user experience.
