Description
Swipe and type messages on your Apple Watch using a fully functional keyboard with WristBoard.
* As featured on the App Store, 9to5Mac, Cult of Mac, iMore, AppAdvice, TechRadar & iPhon.fr *
Typing messages on Apple Watch can be chore - Scribble doesn't always work and Dictation isn't great in public spaces. With WristBoard, you get a fully-fledged keyboard straight on your wrist, no awkward typos necessary!
By adding a full QWERTY, AZERTY or QWERTZ keyboard to your Apple Watch, you can reply to iMessages quickly and privately. Autocorrect and smart text predictions quickly ensures what you type is accurate and makes senses.
WristBoard contains these great features:
FULL KEYBOARD
Add a full QWERTY, AZERTY or QWERTZ keyboard to your Apple Watch.
Keys are easy to press and there’s support for key previews as you swipe along the keyboard.
SWIPE KEYBOARD
WristBoard was the first app to introduce swipe typing on Apple Watch and provides a more efficient way to type out messages on your wrist.
SENDING
WristBoard uses the built-in Apple Messages app on your Apple Watch to send messages to your contacts. Type out your message, tap the send button and you’ll be taken to the Messages app with your message ready to go! There's support for the Apple Mail app too so you can emails all from your wrist!
SUGGESTIONS
As you’re typing, you can complete words using the suggestions bar above the keys.
Tap on a suggestion to replace the current typed word with the full suggestion. Great for improving speed on the small screen!
Access all suggestions by tapping the ellipsis icon next to the first suggestions.
AUTOCORRECT
Whilst typing, if you make a mistake, WristBoard will automatically replace the incorrect word with one it thinks is correct.
OTHER CHARACTERS
WristBoard has full support for adding symbols, numbers and other special characters.
EMOJI
WristBoard supports adding an unlimited amount of emoji to a single message! Simply tap the emoji icon to get started and pick from Apple’s library, or one of your most recently used ones.
THEMES
Customise the look and feel of your keyboard with support for themes.
MESSAGE PREVIEW
Before sending your message, just tap the text field to view a full preview of your message.
HAPTICS
Choose to receive Haptic Feedback on actions like key presses and button actions.
COMPLICATION
For quick and easy access, you can add the WristBoard Complication to your Watch Face. Just tap and the keyboard will launch.
CURSOR
Whilst typing on the keyboard, you can see exactly where you are with the pulsing blue cursor. Use the Digital Crown to move the cursor's position.
SETTINGS
Customise WristBoard your way.
Access the Settings menu by using the options button on the keyboard and you’ll be able to change the layout and toggle auto correct, suggestions & more.

Ratings and Reviews
Alright, but not as good as FlickType
The new swiping feature is not as fast as I would have liked, although it is possible to make something similar to the keyboard currently in iOS 13 or is that too difficult? It is really annoying and slow using the swipe keyboard because you have to wait for the letter to be recognised by the software and is very easy to mistype a word. The tap keyboard doesn’t really compete with it’s competitor Flicktype simply because it’s writing experience is not as good. I have found a good use for the precise keyboard to type numbers and other symbols very quickly when needed, but I’m afraid that’s the only thing I find that works well and is unique to this app, although this feature alone probably isn’t worth the $3. Looking forward to further updates and maybe an improvement to the swipe keyboard.
It's okay
I got this specifically to use on the Apple Watch, but it's just too difficult. The keyboard needs more space than the screen can provide, so while the keys are a good size, you're constantly scrolling up and down the keyboard. At this stage scribble is still more effective than a touch keyboard on the watch

Hi,
Sorry to hear this! I’ve tried to make it as user friendly as possible and will take this feedback on board for future updates!
Thanks!

UPDATE: Hi, I’ve recently some big improvements to the app experience. I’d like to invite you to test out these changes I’ve made and update your previous review accordingly.
For further suggestions you may have that would improve your experience further, please email info@adamfoot.uk.
Great app
Great app much better than the apple options.
One recommendation that you’ve probably already thought of, keep the text line visible when scrolling the keyboard.
Thanks
Developer Response ,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I will look into this suggestion for you as I'm not sure if it will be possible on watchOS.
