Button placement

Can you please match the button layout with iOSs keyboard? At least on the bottom left corner, I need iOSs keyboard for its multilingual support and switching back creates an inconvenience especially with the two buttons on the left most bottom corner.

Updates have improved the app but still wonky

The app works great and has been improved over several updates. My biggest gripe is the very aggressive and very dumb autocorrect. It changes to random words even after youve added several words after in the sentence. It is particularly bad when I switch to add punctuation like question marks or exclamation points.

Too few updates to commit

I purchased this because it was the most accurate at the time. This is no longer true. Just look at the version log, its really updated. In my experience, Nuance is where great apps go to die. Once the originating company is purchased, the apps are pretty much no longer maintained at the prior rate of innovations and eventually are forgotten.

Cant type a period

Every time I try to type a period this app decides I meant to use an apostrophe, or a crazy hyphenated word. Very annoying.

Good but farsi layout is bad !

Speed of app is good but farsi layout is bad ):

Ok but lots of glitches

Worked well on my Samsung, works very glitchy on my iphone. Please fix: 1. "i" never corrects to capital i like it used to. 2. The microphone option never works. 3. The keyboard randomly switches back to the iPhone keyboard in the middle of texting- not sure if this is fixable on your end. 4. Auto fills words that dont exist, cant delete them from library, and when i add my sons name it doesnt ever seem to find his name.

Predictive text is horrible

It used to be ok, but its gotten worse. When you swipe yes it shouldnt default to yrs which no one ever uses. Its to the point where I need to manually type the words anyway because my choice doesnt come up. Really bad.

Missing key features but otherwise great.

This app has improved a lot over the last few months, but I would love to see the following: 1. 3D touch enabled like the stock keyboard. When you force press on the stock keyboard you get a cursor you can move around and its extremely handy! 2. Dictation without having to switch back to the stock keyboard. 3. Custom shortcuts. I like that dragging from M to Space gives me a question mark, but Id love the ability to edit or create my own shortcuts like that. Thank you for considering these enhancements.

Bug

You guys seriously need to fix this bug. Whenever the key is pressed to access numbers, parenthesis or punctuation marks, the selected word changes. So the right word is typed in but I want to end the sentence with a question mark and as soon as I press the key to access the ? the word is changed to something else. If I press the key to return to letters, the correct word comes back.

Not worth it

I got this app because I was so frustrated with the slowness of the iPhone keyboard but with all of the nonsensical and frustrating autocorrects that this app makes it was actually faster to switch back. It would also periodically freeze up and get stuck on the characters menu, the only solution being to restart my phone. Extremely disappointing.

Great keyboard.... However it crashes allot

I absolutely love this keyboard and hate using my phone without it.. That said... Unfortunately it crashes allot Please fix the crashing on this and I can easily give it 5 stars

Terrible updates

Dictionary has become useless. Constantly illogical. Not operator error, I have used for years. Now all I get is jibberish. Can no longer use it.

Needs fixing!

Having issues with it not reading words as Im typing, but rather as if I swyped with letters all the way across the key board, or not typing words I use frequently and replacing them with something unrelated to where I swyped.

Crashes a Lot

Still crashes, predictions inaccurate, slow and buggy at times

Love it

I believe this is worth the money but it is hard to use on some apps

Gives the most random auto correct

Theres usually about one mistake poorer sentence with Swype <- see that it was supposed to be "per." This app gives the most random words by mistake. Im in search for a better app because swiping thru the keyboard is such at time saver versus typing.

Aggravating as hell

I *really* wanted to like this keyboard but its autocorrect is retarded. It makes ridiculous suggestions and refuses to get a clue when I backup to correct the autocorrect -- it puts in the same wrong guess that I just backed out of. It also makes stupid suggestions with words that dont fit the context at all. I swear, I can type faster on the native iOS keyboard than I can using Swype. Ive nearly chucked my phone across the room in frustration at the epically inaccurate autocorrect. Guys, please fix this this thing!

Horrible prediction

I often find myself having to redo entire sentences when using this keyboard. The word prediction is awful.

This is easily a top 5 app of all·time

You dont even have to be accurate. Just swype near or across it and its on! Its more accurate than dictation. Buy this today! I dont but apps but Id easily pay ten dollars or more for this gem of an app.

Needs an update

i used to like this app but it seriously needs an update with auto correct and themes
