Ratings and Reviews
No auto completion or predictive typing
While the description states that “auto-completion and physical keyboards are not supported,” I assumed this referred to actual “physical” keyboards. The screen shots show the predictive text area (above the _virtual_ keyboard), but it just sits there taking up screen real estate. Also, the font used on the keys is smaller than it needs to be. Yet again disappointed in an attempt to correct Apple’s oversight of not including a functional Dvorak layout. Thee stars because it loads, types, has caps lock and auto-capitalization. Not an adequate replacement for the built in keyboard layouts however. 49.5 tuppence wasted.
Dvorak for iPad
Exactly what I was looking for! It is a shame it doesn't have auto correct though, but for the price, I'm still happy. It also appears that there is no 'hide keyboard' button, which is irritating. Also the color scheme tends to invert based on the specific text box that you are in. Also, it doesn't work when you open the app store. I'd pay more for the app if these issues were to be fixed
Works but doesnt
Good:
Layout works. Installs and works easily on iphone and ipad.
Doesnt share my typing / sell my data is a HUGE plus IMO.
Helped me transition from QWERTY faster.
Bad:
SLOW. You'll be limited to about 5-7 wpm becuse unless you wait for EVERY letter to enter, itll skip the following letter. (1 letter/second wait)
Wnat makes things even worse is the lack of autocorrect, auto space or predictive text. Typing at my preffered speed renders almost entirely illegible words.
Lastly, lack of customizable colemak configuration wouid be nice, like a colemak DH or DHM.
Conclusion:
Honestly, id be willing to pay $10-$15 for a perfect solution but it doesnt seem like that option exists. I would not reccommend buying with the intention of never using the stock keyboard again. I wouid reccomend for learning/experimentation as it currently sits.
