Make your keyboard a Sci-Fi input panel. Have fun typing with the style and sounds you love. Includes: • 20 preset themes • 81 background images (or use your own photos) • 44 animated GIF backgrounds • 50 key styles (or blank) • 35 fonts + default • Set 6 typing sounds (160 to choose from) • 50+ Languages/keyboard layouts (Asian writing languages are incomplete) • Lots of DIY tools and options to change the colors, height, vibration, popup, suggestions, and more. Some of the Sci-Fi styles are loosely modeled after popular sci-fi shows and movies. To parody how the sci-fi designers thought future displays would look while displaying meaningless information and having indecipherable use, I gave them actual function that makes sense. *These are generic images. Please do not ask me in reviews or by mail to include any trademarked names, logos, images or other properties. I respect copyrights and will not include them.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ColorDesigner at Free against Sci's $3.99. Sci's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
