### 4/5 — 星1→星4

*2026-06-04*

有料で購入して無制限に単語登録できたのに、いつの間にサブスクにされ、単語登録はサブスクでないと無制限でなくなった。レビューで評価4.9となっているのは当時のもので、それを宣伝に使うのは詐欺たと思う。

追記
デベロッパーより購入の復元を確認するように回答があり、設定のどこに購入の復元があったのかと思ったら、pro版の中の下にあった。それで復元できたが、購入の復元の場所がわかりにくい。設定画面に購入の復元の項目を設けた方が良いと思う。取り敢えず購入の復元ができたので評価は4にします。

**Developer response:** レビューを更新していただき、ありがとうございます。

以前ご購入いただいた内容を無事に復元できたとのことで安心しました。

また、「購入を復元」の場所が分かりづらいというご指摘もありがとうございます。貴重なフィードバックとして受け止め、今後の改善の参考にさせていただきます。

今後ともWordBoardをよろしくお願いいたします。

### 3/5 — Offloads

*2026-05-23, version 9.3.2*

I enjoy the app when it works but three times already it’s offloaded itself and I have to reload all of my prompts. I wish there was a way for it to not do that. Maybe receive a pop-up something, but the app goes dormant too often.

### 4/5 — WOAH

*2026-05-15, version 9.3.1*

Very good but can you add an “If” statement so if randomized hits a certain text then it does something else

### 3/5 — superscript/subscript to delineate long text but app does not support show true typographic superscr

*2026-04-24, version 9.2.0*

i need superscript/subscript to delineate long text but app does not support show true typographic superscript/subscript;

### 3/5 — 開いても何度も戻る

*2026-04-09*

多い時は5回ももどる、コピペの方が早い時も多いから何でだろ

**Developer response:** フィードバックありがとうございます。不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。

WordBoardを使用中に、勝手に戻ってしまうような動作が発生している可能性があります。本来そのようなことは起きないはずです。

お手数ですが、どのアプリで使用しているかや、どのような操作でこの問題が起きるかなど、もう少し詳しい情報を support@bytesizeapps.net までお送りいただけますでしょうか。原因の特定と改善に役立ちます。

ご報告いただきありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — 会員登録の時などに便利

*2026-01-02*

サイトやアプリの会員登録にメールアドレスや名前などを入力することが度々ありますが、このアプリにそれらを登録しておけば、簡単に入力できます。便利に使ってます。

**Developer response:** 会員登録が便利で良かったです！お使いいただいて、ありがとうございます。今後の改善のためにフィードバックはチームに伝えます。 If we can help future please reach out to us at https://support.bytesizeapps.net

### 5/5 — ديالى

### 5/5 — It doesn’t work

*2025-10-03*

I press alow full access,  then it still says its off and when i do it again it shows that full access is off

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. We haven't heard of this issue before, but it sounds like an iOS issue. After some investigation it sounds like it can be disabled by company profiles. If that's not the case for you, please try restarting your device. If you still have issues please reach out to support@bytesizeapps.net.

### 5/5 — Android version needed

*2025-09-20, version 8.0.0*

This is a great app. Saves a lot of time when you repeat the same things over and over on websites or in conversations. I only wish it was available on. Android because I tend to use android and iPhone.

### 2/5 — Image copied, paste away too long

*2025-09-16, version 8.0.0*

It hands around for too long. Blocks my keys. It should be less than 300ms.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2025-08-28*

This app has been everything I have needed! Honestly I don’t recall paying but it is worth it.  I have used something similar on my Mac for years and I hated that I didn’t have something like this on my phone but this app delivers and better. I work a lot of sales and my phone is my primary source of communication. I love the quick easy access via my keyboard. I can quickly and easily reply to people on the go so I don’t miss a reply to a lead. I love you can export it, so I have the same clips with the same set up on my iPad and iPhone. although it would be nice if they could sync. Easy to update. Lots of space. I ADORE IT!.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much! Here’s how you use cloud sync for your keys: https://support.bytesizeapps.net/article/53-how-to-use-cloud-sync

I hope that helps

### 5/5 — Best app for business

Best app ever

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2025-07-21, version 7.2.1*

I think it’s best application for board

### 3/5 — Second review by me in WordBoard

*2025-06-30*

First review I gave a five star. However this time I am reducing it to a 3. Let me explain. I don’t like to be lured into payments. During a couple of years ago I bought Pro license for life. Today I was setting up my new phone and it took half hour to 1. Find out where my old purchase was 2. To restore my purchase. While Apple didn’t let me search by product in their past purchases website, WordBoard didn’t let me restore easily. It was this small link hidden next to terms and conditions while the payment links were bold and asking to pay again quite conveniently. Malpractice and deception. Absolutely disappointing. My restore worked but the time it took to figure that out and seeing the minimised and hidden away restore link spoke loud and clear about the company behind!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review., but we aren't trying to trick anyone.

  - The lifetime payment is a non consumable, so if you tried to buy it again Apple would just alert you that it was already purchased and not change you again.

  - Having the restore link at the bottom of the Paywall is the industry standard way of doing this, I can't think of a paywall that doesn't work this way.

- We have a guide on our support site with screenshots (available via the app) to show you how to do this   - https://support.bytesizeapps.net/article/50-restoring-purchases

I hope this clarifies it.

### 1/5 — Are we joking 🫩🫩🫩

*2026-04-11, version 9.1.0*

It’s wild we have to pay for this. Feels like they might be removing reviews since the best apps usually hover around 4.7 stars. 😕

### 1/5 — Was Free Now Not

*2025-12-16*

This app use to be free!!

**Developer response:** Hi, our app has always been 6 keys for free and then paid for more. It's been like that for over 10 years now :)

### 1/5 — But or before and know i need to pay monthly again or buy again

*2025-10-06*

I buy Lifetime WordBoard 5 years ago… and today… I need to buy again, a monthly or lifetime too… it’s a big bug and also a big problem. And support not respond…

**Developer response:** Hi there, sorry for the trouble! We actually received your email and replied within about 1.5 hours. Please check your inbox for our message, it includes a short guide on how to tap “Restore” on the Paywall screen. This will unlock your Lifetime purchase again.

### 1/5 — Has anyone LOOKED at the (OUTRAGEOUS!) price they're asking you to fork over for the add-on?!?!

*2025-07-03*

There's an old aphorism (I'll try to clean it up), but for an iOS keyboard, it better 'make my toes curl' for that price.

US$100 (no: excuse me) for a keyboard, but it's much cheaper at US$99.

Seriously?!?!

There's another (simple, obvious) business truism; that high-priced items (which people who foolishly pay the price only because they think 'price = they're 'financially well-off', and other nonsense) fail to realize is that it's made in the EXACT SAME PLACE, using the EXACT SAME THINGS as the fat below cost of being the equivalent of being 'generic'.

The only people who feel the need to 'advertise' their weekly DON'T have anything even close.

Have you ever seen Bill Gates running around looking like hers and wearing anything overpriced?

Never happened. Never will.

The same goes for apps. Whether or not this app lives up to this asked-for (outrageous) price is besides the point. The second something comes out and it's successful, rest assured that in no time at all, others will come out with the same thing—but for a lot less.

If you want to waste your money, it's yours. I doubt you'll say a few months later, 'That $100 was the smartest thing I've ever done.'

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We genuinely read every review.

Just to clarify: the price you're referring to is our lifetime option, a one-time purchase that covers everything forever, including all future updates and new features. We also offer monthly and annual plans at a much lower entry point, so there are options for every budget.

Pricing is always a tough call for a small development team, and it's completely fair to question whether any app is worth a premium. If you have specific feedback on features you'd love to see, we're all ears. Our roadmap is genuinely shaped by user input.

### 1/5 — Not great support

*2025-01-18, version 6.5.1*

I love the concept, but I’ve reached out for support to make sure I can utilize this app more and I have not received anything so I finally just gave up. But the potential looks good.

### 1/5 — Höchst Gefährlich!! Hilfreiche Idee

*2024-12-29, version 6.5.1*

Wenn man der Tastatur vollen Zugriff erlaubt. KEINESFALLS Zugänge und Passwörter als Shortcuts speichern. Auch innerhalb der WordBoard Tastatur die Passwort-App nicht benutzen!! 

Die können die Entwickler mitlesen.

Alles Klar jetzt, oder?

Ist mir sowieso ein Rätzel, wieso so eine App 48 MB für den kompilierten Programcode braucht,

warum die App 99€ kosten soll,

und warum als Sprache Chinesisch dabei ist!

Ist das vielleicht eine getarnte chinesische SpionageApp?

Die Gesinnung von China sollte jedem hinreichend bekannt sein, denn die würden in jeder Familie dieser Welt einen Han-Chinesen platzieren, der dann mit eurer Frau Kinder macht! So wie sie es bereits vorgeführt haben, nämlich bei den Uiguren!

### 1/5 — Downloaded FREE lifetime

*2024-12-06, version 6.5.0*

The FREE lifetime promotion button does not work when pressed. Is this promotion fake???

### 1/5 — 一整排評論都說卡了你還回答說沒收到反應

*2024-10-28, version 6.3.0*

這是很好的app
加油💪已退訂閱等你們改善好

### 1/5 — 使いづらい

*2024-06-03*

使いづらい

**Developer response:** 使いにくいとお聞きして残念です。使いにくい点について、さらに詳しく教えていただけますか? これは、私たちが頻繁に聞くフィードバックではありません。

### 1/5 — 課金解除の方法がわかりません

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2026-07-20, version 9.4.1*

I use the app every day. So easy to set things up and saves so much time typing things you do over and over again. The Folders are a great feature.

Love this app. It helps speed up processes 🙌🏼 I have suggested it to many friends and clients

### 5/5 — Excellente application

Très rationnelle et fonctionnant impeccablement. Je m’en sers depuis des années en complément indispensable et facile à paramétrer de mon clavier IOS. 
Bravo à toute l’équipe !

### 5/5 — My go to

*2026-02-28, version 9.0.1*

I had this app for several years now, and so far the best. For people that have to use the same information over and over, Addresses Square page, tags. I love it. The only thing I hate is when it stops working for an application, Like, Instagram, or Facebook and I have to load it again

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2026-02-26, version 9.0.1*

Never been so grateful for this app!

### 5/5 — Exceptional Time-Saver

*2026-01-14*

Whenever an app pops up a “rate me” request, I instinctively and immediately cancel out of it. WordBoard is a rare exception. 

WordBoard has been one of the most worthwhile investments I have made from a productivity/business POV, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone in a sales (or sales-adjacent) role. It beats the built-in “quick reply” or “text completion” features of most communications software (e.g. Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc) that I’ve tried. (Note: I have no affiliation with the developer of this app. I just genuinely love it.)

Feature Request: AI integration. I’m not sure to what extent a keyboard app has access to the context of a conversation on a communications or social media app or if the following is even feasible, but a built-in “improve this message with AI” function would be awesome; such that, a canned WordBoard message the likes of which would be somewhat generic, can be personalized/contextualized to the specific interaction that’s taking place. Thanks in advance.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that WordBoard has been a valuable tool for your productivity. We do have AI Keys on devices that support Foundation Models: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZuWKqMoj7dQ

Hope that helps!

### 5/5 — One of my most-used apps

*2026-01-10*

WordBoard is one of those rare apps that has one job and it performs it flawlessly. I can't begin to quantify the time this app saves me in thumb typing on my iPhone and pasting snippets of often-repeated texts from its Templates feature. While the free version offers a lot, I chose to pay for the app to help compensate the developer for all his efforts in making WordBoard such a great app. Plus, the developer actually responds to email (within minutes, in my case), something you don't see often these days. Well done app!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate your support and feedback, and we are thrilled to hear that WordBoard has been such a time-saver for you. We will make sure to pass on your praises to our developer team. If we can help future please reach out to us at https://support.bytesizeapps.net
