Created based on years of scientific research in user interface, MessagEase is designed and optimized for use on a touchscreen device.
MessagEase is a patented, innovative design different from the antiquated QWERTY keyboard. If you believe that every keyboard must be QWERTY-like, then MessagEase is not what you are looking for.
But if you are open to new ideas and up for experiencing a completely new way of writing you will be pleasantly surprised at how well, how precisely, and how fast you can enter text with MessagEase. Our current champion’s speed is 87 WPM— that's 87 Words Per Minute! Most people don't type nearly that fast with ten fingers!
MessagEase essentially has 9 large keys with an optimized letter assignment to maximize your speed, increase your accuracy, and ease your writing. Since MessagEase is very different, you must spend a few minutes to get used to it. We have included several learning games to help you learn the new, innovative pattern of MessagEase—and you’ll save hours by texting and writing faster.
With MessagEase you enter letters and characters with either a tap, or a drag (slide): taps for the most common characters and directional drag for the rest. Please watch the video, or see the section Essential MessagEase, to learn more.
MessagEase's design is based on sound user-interface principles such as the Fitts' Law; it uses letter frequency and di-gram data to optimally place the characters on a keyboard with fewer, larger keys. That’s why the letter positions are non-QWERTY!

Thank you!
this is a truly wonderful keypad it’s like i was born using this it is so easy to use the design is purfect
I love the idea of this keyboard so much it makes me want to cry. Which is why I've continued to use it since it came out for droid devices. But one of the most attractive abilities of this keyboard was lightning fast control keys for cut/copy/paste and access to a clipboard. I will change my 3 star review when the control keys return.
ive only read the documentation and played the games a bit, but i like it already. mobile typing has so far, across all the many, many devices and platforms ive used, been a pain and then, an even bigger pain. so cheers for making a big step forward!
5 stars for what it use to be !!! I have used this for years & really like it, for my iPhoneX(plus previous iPhones & my iPad Pro). Really disappointed that I can’t contact you to find out what happened after iOS 12.1.1 !! It just disappeared. The app shows that it is there, but no MessagEase keyboard. Tried hard resetting iPad several times. No go. Any help would be appreciated!
Emojis aren’t integrated into the keyboard, it’s a hassle to switch to my normal keyboard just to use emojis.
It has so much potential. Especially compared to the other ones on the market
Flawless implementation of a novel keyboard concept. Would be useful to include iOS 12 style trackpad mode in a subsequent release.
Since the update yesterday my keyboard hasn’t been working properly I can’t input characters when attempting to type.
