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.

Improvement suggestions

Good app, but I think it needs better suggested words as when I go to type something with “B” for example the first word to come up is Buenos, I just think it needs more appropriate suggestions that link to more popular words and or better responses that go with the sentence your starting to write. It would Just make the app so much better with it still being a little difficult to type with the letters being so small. Thanks🙂

Developer Response ,

Hi, thank you for your feedback. In a future version, I will try and improve the suggestions offered.

I like it

This is a classic app that works around existing restrictions of Apple to give useful functionality to send messages. The restrictions noted by others review of this being a separate app on the Apple Watch are correct because that is currently the only way of doing it.

To be able type a message on then Watch to send a text is something that occasionally I want to do, but when I do want to do it, it will be because it is important and this allows me to do it better than Scribble. This is therefore well worth the 99p to me. Well done Adam - clever implementation to give some functionality that I didn’t think was possible.

Thank you for the positive review! I’m glad you like Shift Keyboard! 😊

Not worth the buy. Worst 99p I’ve spent

On the phone you have to press EXACTLY on the keys which are really small and don’t let you press on the side of the keys like the normal keyboard.

Also what ISN’T mentioned is that you have to send messages on the watch via a different app and can’t be used in the actual messaging app so u are unable to read the text you have just received and u have to go onto a separate app and reply through that. The app doesn’t come with many customisations either and the keyboard doesn’t even fit on the apple watches screen.

ADDITIONALLY! The whole app runs slow and features like 3 pages were you test using the keyboard which is a load of whack. Also the Apple Watch version requires to you set it up urself and u have to restart ur watch for it to come up, this is not mentioned in the description. Overall not worth it and doesn’t even deserve to be on the App Store. I have given the FULL truth behind this.

Therefore, to summarise. DO NOT BUT

Developer Response ,

Hi,

Thanks for leaving a review! I’ll work on improving the iPhone keyboard.

Unfortunately Apple doesn’t support 3rd party keyboards on Apple Watch yet so this is out of my control.

Additionally, the installation issue is one that is faced by multiple developers with their apps. This is a bug that needs to be taken up with Apple if you are having it.

If you have any further suggestions I’d be more than happy to take them if you could email me at info@adamfoot.uk.

Thanks!
Adam


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.
