Ratings and Reviews
Smaller keys
It is nice to have some punctuation available on screen. However, it also cramp all the keys smaller and make them harder to hit.
I bought this app for my aging father who doesn’t remember QWERT keyboard layout any more. This helped him but also difficult for him due to smaller keys. Please provide options to turn off punctuation and make the keys larger.
Thank you and you are the only app available out there. Please keep this as many of us need this.
Nice for homeschool
I purchased this app to use with my younger homeschool students. We sometimes type our spelling assignments as fun alternative to writing them out by hand, but because they haven’t learned to type yet the QWERTY keyboard was slowing them down too much. I was glad to find this alphabetical order keyboard that works in Apple Notes on our iPad. Works great!
Doesn’t work in imessage which is a huge bummer
Wanted it for my grandfather but would rather him have a consistent keyboard rather than abcde keyboard only in a few apps and qwerty in others…
Developer Response ,
Hi Tararose37,
thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, the keyboard does also work in iMessage, it just has to be set via the world icon in the bottom left.
The latest version also has auto suggestions, so it is even easier for your grandfather to type.
