Reviews

Thanks to the developer!!!
Crazypop1

This is awesome, it would be cool if it could all just be added to the keyboards inside iOS but I understand the limitations ?puts into iOS and on the developers. Thanks for making it free???????????❕


Great, butttt

can you add a backspace?pleaseeee


Useful & easy to use
theSnarkRemarks

Great interface & functionality. Would love to see... - ability to rearrange keys on custom keyboards (maybe an edit mode that let you drag&drop keys?) - ability to remove custom keys while on the keyboard itself (w/o having to go back to the list) - ability to sort Unicode blocks numerically (in addition to the current alpha-by-title sort) - ability to add space/return/backspace keys to custom keyboards - would also be handy to be able to save/swap out keyboards from w/in the app itself. I've been able to accomplish essentially the same thing by mailing myself layouts, it'd just be nice not to have to have to hunt down a mail to do it. :) Also, FYI to any new users - you may find it handy to mail yourself a blank keyboard. Has saved me a lot of time when wanting to clear out a custom keyboard. A big thank-you to the dev, great app, has been very useful (& informative), look fwd to future updates!


Love It!!!
Call me Gideon

I love that I can FINALLY type Hebrew vowels ion my iPad! The ONLY thing the could be super helpful is if there is a delete key that works with the HebrewWithNikkud.UnicodeMapsKeyboard so that I don't have to switch back and forth from my Hebrew keyboard save slot to the normal ABC built in keyboard. Otherwise, this is perfect. Only other suggestion would be to have a place within the app that I can download the various keyboards I need and not have to search on the Internet to find one, send it to myself as an email attachment, and then install the attachment.


Requires iOS 4.3?

Does this app *really* require iOS 4.3? I can use this on my iPad, but not on my iPod 2g 4.2.1. It's not like this is a high end game or something (even games like Aralon run on my iPod just fine). I really don't see why devs need to alienate so many customers/potential customers using older devices when there doesn't seem to be a reason to require an os upgrade in most cases (other than apple wanting to force you to upgrade to a new device every year - or less). The lite version works on my iPod, but since I own the full version I'd like to be able to use it on both devices. Thank you.


Great application

I just have one complaint; when the glyph description length exceeds the maximum for the screen, it's just cut off. There's no way that I can find to read the rest. Please fix this.


This app is the ?

Qwertysucksbigtime

Perfect for making cool designs Does everything it says it does Easy 2 use Has a lot of symbols I have no clue y some people are complaining u can easily customize the custom key board and if u wanna use a back space don't be lazy and click on the normal keyboard it's not that hard to do trust me This app is worth the money Update: Ahhhh the new update screwed it up and unlike what it said,there is no new backspace/new line key and now the custom keyboard is hard 2 c so plz fix this I don't care bout the backspace/new line but others will complain so plz fix all this


Awesome app!

It's a shame apple hasn't added the ability to use these keyboard within the OS, but this solves it all! I'm glad this app keeps growing, and I hope to see more updates!
