## What is Yoruba Keyboard?

Type Yoruba naturally with the letters, tone marks, and suggestions you expect—right where you already write.

Yoruba Keyboard adds the characters that ordinary keyboards make difficult to enter, including ẹ, ọ, ṣ, gb, and accented Yoruba forms. It is useful for messages, notes, school, work, and everyday conversation.

Highlights:
• Get context-aware Yoruba suggestions from your favorites, a curated built-in vocabulary, and Apple's keyboard lexicon.
• Keep favorite words, phrases, and characters ready in a customizable strip.
• Move the cursor from the space bar and choose optional haptic feedback.
• Use layouts tuned for iPhone and iPad, rotation, dark mode, and Reduce Transparency.
• Follow the clear companion-app guide to install and configure the keyboard.

Private by design:
The keyboard works without Full Access and does not transmit what you type. Full Access is optional and is used only for keyboard click sounds.

Yoruba Keyboard is free—and will stay free.

## Key features

- Yoruba language support
- Unique Yoruba characters (ẹ, ọ, ṣ, gb)

### 5/5 — i love you

*2026-08-23, version 3.4.1*

monifẹ ará tuntun ti ẹ fisi keyboard yin ooo

### 1/5 — What happened to the accent marks?

*2026-02-10, version 3.3.6*

I loved this keyboard, until it changed. Now it won’t show the whole alphabet with the accent and tonal marks. What happened???

### 5/5 — Great yoruba keyboard

*2025-12-14, version 3.3.6*

I ve had it for a few years and love the recent updates. O dára púpọ̀. Ẹ ṣeun.

### 5/5 — Inclusivity & Diversity

*2025-11-26, version 3.3.6*

This effort by the development team is highly commendable & appreciated. Sadly, many people want or desire to have a feature, but a few go ahead to do something about it.

You are a leader for inclusivity, diversity & representation. Thank you for this. 🙏🏾🥰

### 4/5 — Why 2 Versions of the app?

*2024-12-31, version 3.3.6*

I first gave a critical review of the app because I couldn’t get to use the accents again as I was previously able to do.

On going back to the selection on App Store, I noticed another YORÙBÁ  option, which is different from YORUBA KEYBOARD - YORÙBÁ.

The plain Yoruba selection is then correct one to use if one wants the ability to accent his words.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-19, version 3.3.6*

If I could rate zero stars, I would.

### 5/5 — It Works 100%

*2024-08-16, version 3.3.6*

I have been using this keyboard for over 5 years and can’t believe it took me this long to write a review. This app is fantastic and works. Thank you so much for allowing us to write in Yorùbá!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-12-31, version 3.3.6*

Thank you so much for the App. It’s pretty much useful.

### 5/5 — Happy user

*2023-11-16, version 3.3.6*

It’s nice to have an Yoruba keyboard.

Ẹku iṣẹ to the manufacturers!

Would be nice if it was developed a lot more so we can have auto-correct etc… like I would pay for that as an app. Not a subscription but a one off fee

### 3/5 — Miss a spellcheck

*2023-10-20, version 3.3.5*

Could you guys add a spellchecker?
