ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Indic Keyboard holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Indic Keyboard has 3.4K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of MARTHOMIAN's written reviews are positive against 67% of Indic Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MARTHOMIAN ships an update weekly, Indic Keyboard monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
