PadKeys Keyboard

iPad typing without tears, and now on iPhone too! When it comes to on-screen keyboards, bigger IS different, and PadKeys is built to take advantage of the larger screen size on tablets and modern phones. Stay with 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 PadKeys is almost like having a full bluetooth keyboard -- without the weight and bulk!

• Numbers and punctuation in one layout, where your fingers remember.
• Swipe input (trace words with your finger).
• Cursor keys for easy, precise movement by letter or word.
• Dedicated keys for accented characters in your language.
• Option layout for typing other symbols and accented characters.
• Full autocorrect in your language, showing more than three words.
• "Short" layout (on iPad) for more screen visibility in landscape orientation.

Languages / layouts supported: English (US and British / UK), Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French (France and Canada), German, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Spanish, and Swedish.

Needs help with swipe learning.

Swipe don't work at all even after you type the name or word there's no way to save. So as of for now I'm uninstalling the broken app. Hopefully you guys add some type of learning process like learn from text messages and gmail like other swype apps and a dictionary to input your own words.


Need Number Key option
IMIpad

This keyboard is nice but not perfect. Would be nice to have a few keyboard variations, such as NUM PAD on right side instead of on top. The IPhone keyboard layout is very difficult to type on. Would also like to see the inverted The for arrow operations.


$5 and No Dictionary! Press caps if u want a symbol.
Common.sense

What's the point having a keyboard that can't remember words. Then you can't use the app functions- you still have to henpeck tediously for unknown words. Every time! If you want a symbol. !@# you go over and press the caps 2 times or 1 time, you have to be careful and watch. Terribly inefficient. Sorry i spent $5


Great overall design but....

I love the size, and ease of typing but it has to have a quick access emoji button or I can’t use it. Using the suggestion bar to get emoji’s is not a viable, quick option. If it demands we give you full access, so be it. I just won’t use it with the amount of emoji’s I use daily. Back to gboard, which is so inferior to you in terms of typing, but it’s ease of access to emoji’s, gifs, etc is something I have to have in this day and age.


no microphone or emoji

Good keyboard for iPad

I like having all commonly used items at my fingertips. It is much improved in the past year because it now uses my keyboard shortcuts. Word prediction could be a little better.


Almost perfect, already great
Batrico

I only regret I didn't find this sooner. I'm not going to ding this fantastic keyboard app — the one Apple should be shipping — for its few shortcomings; the developer has hit a home run with this superior keyboard. My only major complaint is that I don't like the layout of the suggestions bar for one handed typing; I'm forced to both look and cross to the far left to accept or cancel. I would greatly prefer the Apple method of top hit in the center, and 'accept as is' right beside it for both faster access, but especially faster recognition. There's a few other changes I'd make as far as character priority and options, but I'm still already in love.
