Description
Typing without limits on iPad and iPhone. When it comes to on-screen keyboards, bigger IS different, and Typefinity is built to take advantage of the larger screen size on tablets and modern phones. Stay in the flow when it's time to type a number or symbol or you need to move around, because the needed keys are right there in the main layout. And we use the full width, not just the middle, to display word suggestions.
Ergonomics aren't sacrificed either. The main keys are big enough to type fast, and autocorrect is fine-tuned for catching common finger misses. You'll find using Typefinity is almost like having a full bluetooth keyboard -- without the weight and bulk!
• Numbers and punctuation in one layout, where your fingers remember.
• Cursor keys for easy, precise movement by letter or word.
• Dedicated keys for accented characters in your language.
• Option switch for typing other symbols and accented characters.
• Full autocorrect in all supported languages, showing more than three words.
• “Short” layout option for more screen visibility in landscape orientation.
• Swipe input (trace words with your finger), and flick up on number and punctuation keys for shifted versions.
• Numeric and calculator modes.
• Privacy friendly (“full access” is NOT required for most functionality, including autocorrect).
Languages / layouts supported: English (US and British / UK / Aus, Dvorak), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French (France and Canada), German, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Romanian, Spanish, and Swedish.
What’s New
Version 2.2
• iOS 13 is the new minimum version.
• Add haptic keyclicks options on phone.
• Fix bug with nonstandard keyclick sounds.
• New Opt layout fine-tuned and now brought to Italian and Portuguese.

Ratings and Reviews
Love–hate this app
this app was designed for the iPad, and works much better there, yet are used most on the iPhone. The lack of an apostrophe on the iPhone layout that is easily accessible is a pain with US language. Not a problem on the iPad. I think predictability of words is better than Apple's keyboard for some reason. I like the ability to move the cursor one space at a time left or right. Trouble hitting the space bar between words butPrediction if you go back know that there should be two words and you can select. I think this keyboard app has great potential.
Now a 5-Star Product!
Earlier, I rated this one star because I couldn't get it to come up by pressing the Globe key on the standard keyboard, as the installation instructions instructed. I was able to uninstall the emoji keyboard, which I never use anyway, and then I was able to install this keyboard. It works fine for me now. Just be aware that if you need to type in a password, you will still need to use the standard keyboard due to an Apple security requirement.
I usually use a Bluetooth external keyboard for landscape typing and this product for portrait typing. I also use this product in landscape sometimes when the Bluetooth one has turned off to save the battery, and I don't want to turn it back on. Money well spent!
Developer Response ,
It's confusing but the 'ABC' key on the emoji keyboard is the equivalent to the Globe key. Tapping that should get you there. Also, you can always tap-hold the Globe (or 'ABC') to get a menu of the keyboards. UPDATE: Glad it worked well after that hurdle!
This keyboard is pretty good, however....
Generally I use this keyboard, but for me it's major shortcoming is the inconsistent use of the long press.
When long pressing, please add the superscript items displayed on the top row. For example, long press '3' produces should also offer '#' as well as '³' and '₃' this saves having to use the shift key. For example long pressing '/' also offers '?'
It makes a big difference for people that only have the use of one hand or just for people that tap with one finger.
Developer Response ,
Hi, so far we've held off on this for fear of making the popup menus too cluttered (some of them have quite many entries as it is), but we will continue to consider it based on feedback like yours.
