PadKeys Keyboard

Thanks for listening and implementing or considering several of my suggestions! I have a few suggestions... Emojis as suggestions in auto correct would be wonderful! That's actually become essential to me, somehow. EASY TO IMPLEMENT SUGGESTIONS... Colon and " keys are too hard to find for how commonly they are used. Please allow these as a long -press from period or comma key? Please, please swiping up to type the "main" alternative key (!@#$ etc.) is tricky to use, I'm finding. (I prefer long press to the swipe up method, maybe you could offer both as options?) Thanks for "opt lock" to allow one-handed word-by-word navigation (and repeated anything else from opt menu) SELECTING text with arrow keys would make my year, but I have a feeling iOS limits that. And then, to be the best keyboard on earth and save yourselves a lot of picky user feedback: Allow the user to place keys wherever we want! I'm talking about delete, return, comma, period, arrows, symbols, not letter keys of course. We all develop habits and I'm not interested in changing mine concerning where I expect keys to be. I would buy you dinner for that feature alone!

No iOS keyboard deserves five stars, but fortunately it is easy to switch between them if you have only a few installed. I think this one is an ideal companion to the standard iOS keyboard, and I find I use each about 50/50. To squeeze more functionality in, the buttons are a bit smaller, making speed typing a little more awkward. But features like the left and right navigation buttons and quick access to special characters often make this keyboard better for editing. A lot of thought is being put into this keyboard, and it continues to evolve and improve. I give onoy four stars only because there is no five-star keyboard, but I could see this evolving into one.

I love this keyboard - the directional cursors to move through text & this is the only keyboard I found for iphones that have them. l'd give it 5 stars if 3 things were added: 1. the up & down cursors 2. Regular Facial reaction emojis, or if you have them already give them their own section under apps 3. Provide more 'dead space' on the sides & bottom , OR increase the width of the side keys & the heighth of the 'space bar' so they are easier to make a clean hit. One last thing Is appreciate deer 6: when Auto correct makes an INcorrect change, I have difficulty changing it back because it keeps autocorrecting again. But over all, it's terrific!

Today, December 13, I received a notice that the developer had responded to my review. THREE MONTHS AFTER THE FACT! Oddly, their response is dated, September 7! In any event, I do not post reviews without carefully assessing and testing an app. They may want to *claim* that the their app didn’t have these problems, but it certainly did at the point I posted my review! HERE'S THE REVIEW—POINTS #3 and 4 AND THE CONCLUSION WERE TYPED USING PADKEYS TO SHOW HOW WELL IT WORKS! Wantwd to like this. However, 1. The setting to turn off the Suggestions Bar does NOT work! I'm on an iPad and it is supposed to! 2. The option to swipe up does NOT work. Swipe up one 1 and the exclamation point is NOT entered. 3. The keys are too small and the layout far too cramped. I mkaw Fae more mistakes than with Apple's standard keyboars. One has to type much more slowly, and thwee are till more mistakes. 4. The BIG BLADK BOLDED SHIFT KEYS looks juvwnilemandnisndisteacrinf. OK. Let's fix that. Itnlooks juvenile and is distracting. 5. Love the inclusion of the cursor keys! Wish that Shift-cursor would move by words! 6. A forward-delete command would be helpful, too. Oh,mqell.m Thenquedf for a good keyboafd continues!

After Apple kind of ruined the iPad keyboard on iOS11, the is a great keyboard to replace it for general purpose use. It will take some time to learn the new layout, but most of the choices make sense. I docked it one star due to a small complaint. The best keyboard is one without distractions, but this one has an annoying one—whenever the keyboard appears, the space bar has the name of the app for a second which then fades out. It becomes more annoying if you're jumping from field to field in a form. The keyboard doesn't go away, but the text in the space bar keeps reappearing with each jump.
