Ratings and Reviews
Not only doesn’t it work, it stops my other keyboards from working
Installed on my iPhone and iPad. On the iPad it stopped the language selection key from working. On the iPhone it just didn’t work.
Total fail.
Patience is required
It took awhile to get it working, but now I can cluster consonants with the best of them.
Look what I did today: all with this app.
