### 1/5 — Does not work. Zero stars.

*2022-07-12, version 3.0.2*

I’d like my money back please.

### 1/5 — Avoid, even though it looks like it might do the job

*2022-03-01, version 3.0.2*

Sadly there's few options for a properly larger keyboard out there, and this isn't the solution.
Despite having a size option slider it only seems to do giganticly too big, or still too big. No in between.

Otherwise the keyboard isn't great to type on compared to others. For now I'll have to stick to another small keyboard.

Save your money and avoid this, as it hasn't been updated in a loooong time.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly

*2022-01-01, version 3.0.2*

Unable to perform what it says it can do. Possibly down to bugs. Tried to change keyboard colour and it didn’t work even though I’ve selected my colour cant change the size of keys on the keyboard only the size of the whole keyboard together. The best thing about this app is I don’t get spammed by ads.

### 1/5 — mit dem IPhone 13 pro nicht zu gebrauchen.

*2021-10-03*

Leider kein Hinweis auf die Inkompatibilität zu IPhone 13...bevor man den Kaufenbuton drückt...

### 2/5 — How do you chance the colour on the keyboard

*2021-01-05, version 3.0.2*

Also I have an iPhone11 and I can’t make the keyboard abit smaller

### 1/5 — XL Keyboard

*2019-08-27, version 2.9.9*

I phone calls this a third party Keyboard and suggests you disable “allow full access” because if you don’t there is a security issue in that your personal information can be collected and dispersed throughout the web by collection of your Keyboard strokes, however there is no allow full access toggle that I can find so I have to assume XL Keyboard has full access to everything you type such as your credit card numbers, passwords, relatives and children’s names addresses phone numbers, ages, EVERYTHING even social security numbers. When you press on the apt support icon for XL Keyboard it just takes you to a bunch of advertising. So I have removed the keyboard and will not take the risk involved in using it.

### 1/5 — Paid but didn't get it

*2019-05-27, version 2.9.9*

Paid for the app
But couldn't download it.

### 1/5 — Max

*2018-10-22, version 2.9.9*

Does not work on iPhone XS Max

### 3/5 — Color themes

*2018-03-29, version 2.9.8*

This keyboard needs some color themes added to it and larger font.. Other than that, I love it😁

### 2/5 — Could of been useful

*2018-01-03, version 2.9.8*

Delete/button doesn't work.  Doesn't all for switching to other keyboards.
