iKeywi App Reviews

EDIT: Updated review for end of October new version - Still completely unusable. I bought this because I used to use it on my jail broken device, but this new official version is basically unusable. Like 40% of the time it registered that I hit a key other than the one I actually tapped, the cursor movement function got activated WAAAAY too easily even when set at the least sensitive preferences, it has a bug where every single letter has an underline beneath it on the keyboard, the unwanted word-suggestion line makes the already smaller keys again much smaller still, and more. Maybe this software will get better in time, but as of now Id call it an Alpha version release.

Needs option to disable predictive text. That way the keys can be spread out more.

I like the idea of having the numbers above the letters, but the keys are too small and difficult to read if you’re over 45 yrs old. Maybe Shuo-Ping can come up with a way to make the keys larger.

Still seems a bit unresponsive after the update. Please include the ability to remove the prediction bar.

Much better. A lot more stable than the initial release. I love the swipe cursor feature and number row this keyboard brings. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this to my friends.

Love the swipe selection feature in this keyboard but the keyboard its self it lags a lot and it wont worth buying it

This is no replacement for the JB version of this awesome tweak. It seems this one uses its own dictionary instead of Apple’s. It wants to replace words that I type often with words I’ve NEVER used before. Very frustrating. At this point, it is unusable. Two things would make this great: 1 - Allow option to remove predictive text. This would allow the keyboard keys to be larger and easier to type with. 2 - Use Apple’s dictionary if at all possible. This keeps all our hard work building our custom library of words intact and makes misspelled words correct themselves like they should.

The keyboard is still laggy and unusable

I was very happy to finally have swipe shift features in a keyboard as well as a 5th row, but the autocorrect is still buggy and sometimes a back arrow mysteriously gets registered. I think the latest update made things a little worse, actually. The ability to assign whole phrases to keys is nice but Id rather have shortcuts like the Apple keyboard. Importing those shortcuts would be great. when the bugs are worked out, this will be my go-to keyboard, but right now its not really usable.

Keyboard is blurry without @3x assets.

Because I was so excited about the swipe selection, I bought this before reading the reviews. Not good. Keys are small, I make tons of typos, swipe selection is very fast even when I change the speed, auto-correct is a mess, etc. I would not recommend purchasing this.

Definitely still buggy, but promising. Its the only keyboard Ive found with "swipe for arrow keys" which is a feature that I really want, so hopefully theyll get it fixed up.

Need Spanish language for this keyboard, please.

Terrible keyboard. You can type at all. The cursor movies upon every key press, even when disabled. None of the customized settings work. Total rip.

Had this thru jail breaking, and was the main reason I still jail broke my phone thru iOS 7. My main issue now is the predictive text. It is terrible. The choices that come up make no sense, and make the keys a tad too small. Need the ability to turn off to get that bar space back. Loved it before, and expect itll improve...hopefully sooner than later.

I thought the arabic support will come faster but still waiting!

I bought this keyboard to get the swipe gestures to move the cursor. It works ok but is overly sensitive. Swiping over two keys moves the cursor about 5 characters so you have to make very small movements. The 5th row of keys is nice but messes up the bindings. For example, the delete button doesnt work and thus registers that I tapped the return key below it. The keyboard doesnt work nicely with several apps and crashes so you have a blank space where the keyboard should be. You have to kill the app to get the keyboard to load. In summary, when it works, its really nice. When it doesnt (and it doesnt work often), its really frustrating. These are mostly bugs that I assume could be fixed so, like someone else said, treat it like an Alpha with potential to be really cool.

This app is good for nothing. I wested my money on that :(

Save your money if you have iPhone 6+. App doesnt work!

Nothing works
