Options do not work. Swipe up does not work. Etc.

Today, December 13, I received a notice that the developer had responded to my review. THREE MONTHS AFTER THE FACT! Oddly, their response is dated, September 7! In any event, I do not post reviews without carefully assessing and testing an app. They may want to *claim* that the their app didn’t have these problems, but it certainly did at the point I posted my review! HERE'S THE REVIEW—POINTS #3 and 4 AND THE CONCLUSION WERE TYPED USING PADKEYS TO SHOW HOW WELL IT WORKS! Wantwd to like this. However, 1. The setting to turn off the Suggestions Bar does NOT work! I'm on an iPad and it is supposed to! 2. The option to swipe up does NOT work. Swipe up one 1 and the exclamation point is NOT entered. 3. The keys are too small and the layout far too cramped. I mkaw Fae more mistakes than with Apple's standard keyboars. One has to type much more slowly, and thwee are till more mistakes. 4. The BIG BLADK BOLDED SHIFT KEYS looks juvwnilemandnisndisteacrinf. OK. Let's fix that. Itnlooks juvenile and is distracting. 5. Love the inclusion of the cursor keys! Wish that Shift-cursor would move by words! 6. A forward-delete command would be helpful, too. Oh,mqell.m Thenquedf for a good keyboafd continues!
Good layout but very poor word recognition

I tried Google's keyboard, swift key and others but cant find anything that works as well as the old now defunct swype. This gets very close in the layout so I was really hoping it would work well but it just has really poor swiping recognition. Nearly every few words I have to re-type or if I swype too fast it just does nothing. I'm really disappointed and will be asking for a refund.
Needs improvements

Love the idea of this, but PadKeys needs definite improvements. The spell check row is so short on height I'm constantly getting jibberish. It would also help to have the most common suggestions in the center working outwards instead of to the left where it's harder to see and further away from where your eye naturally goes. This could be a wonderful app with some tweaks!
Bought for arrow keys, disappointed

I bought this app because iOS does not include arrows to edit text easily. My main issue is the browser. It is really hard to edit a URL in the browser. With the arrow keys, I can now easily move to the end of the address to edit it. However, this keyboard changes the behavior of the backspace key when editing a URL. Instead of deleting a character, for some reason it highlights the characters. Total FAIL. Now I have to switch keyboards to get backspace to work.
All I need on one screen!

Thrilled to have my Android-like keyboard on my new iPhone by installing this app! One screen for letters, numbers, & symbols. Imagine such a thing. Worth paying for.
Really good but...

Thanks for listening and implementing or considering several of my suggestions! I have a few suggestions... Emojis as suggestions in auto correct would be wonderful! That's actually become essential to me, somehow. EASY TO IMPLEMENT SUGGESTIONS... Colon and " keys are too hard to find for how commonly they are used. Please allow these as a long -press from period or comma key? Please, please swiping up to type the "main" alternative key (!@#$ etc.) is tricky to use, I'm finding. (I prefer long press to the swipe up method, maybe you could offer both as options?) Thanks for "opt lock" to allow one-handed word-by-word navigation (and repeated anything else from opt menu) SELECTING text with arrow keys would make my year, but I have a feeling iOS limits that. And then, to be the best keyboard on earth and save yourselves a lot of picky user feedback: Allow the user to place keys wherever we want! I'm talking about delete, return, comma, period, arrows, symbols, not letter keys of course. We all develop habits and I'm not interested in changing mine concerning where I expect keys to be. I would buy you dinner for that feature alone!
So disappointed

I was really looking forward to using this on my iPad, and actually paid for it. What a waste of money for me, it doesn’t work with most apps I use. Not Facebook, not Messenger, none of my games. Only works with a couple apps that I rarely use.
Directional Cursors *****!
sueduck
I love this keyboard - the directional cursors to move through text & this is the only keyboard I found for iphones that have them. l'd give it 5 stars if 3 things were added: 1. the up & down cursors 2. Regular Facial reaction emojis, or if you have them already give them their own section under apps 3. Provide more 'dead space' on the sides & bottom , OR increase the width of the side keys & the heighth of the 'space bar' so they are easier to make a clean hit. One last thing Is appreciate deer 6: when Auto correct makes an INcorrect change, I have difficulty changing it back because it keeps autocorrecting again. But over all, it's terrific!
