Almost there but not quite

This will be the perfect app when it works in landscape mode. I hope they fix this in a future upgrade. Currently only portrait mode works on my iPhone X. In portrait it works well except that swimming ti change sure does not work.

I phone calls this a third party Keyboard and suggests you disable “allow full access” because if you don’t there is a security issue in that your personal information can be collected and dispersed throughout the web by collection of your Keyboard strokes, however there is no allow full access toggle that I can find so I have to assume XL Keyboard has full access to everything you type such as your credit card numbers, passwords, relatives and children’s names addresses phone numbers, ages, EVERYTHING even social security numbers. When you press on the apt support icon for XL Keyboard it just takes you to a bunch of advertising. So I have removed the keyboard and will not take the risk involved in using it.
Looked perfect... then...

Nice and simple. Big keys. Just what I was looking for — then I noticed that there is no spell check or auto-correct with this keyboard. Kind of a no-brainer. It doesnt even auto-capitalize the first letter in a new sentence. Need to fix this.
Exactly what I needed! ?

I needed a large keyboard for my large hands, this is perfecto!
Perfect

Just what I was looking for! On my 6 plus, I can touch type using 8 fingers in Landscape mode. Would like to see "i" auto capitalize in the next update.
Missing functionality

It's missing a number of features of the normal Apple Keyboard which need to be handled. -No double tap the spacebar in order to add a period automatically at the end of a sentence. -Doesn't actually work even close to as well as Apple's native typo correction text in correctly correcting mistyped words. For insistence that sentence had about a half a dozen typos the native keyboard would have fixed properly. It adds obviously incorrect words. Like instead of correction "hakf" to "half", it corrects it to "hake" which is an obscure word for a type of fish, seriously? -No shortcut to apple dictation. -No option to remove the predictive text bar above the keyboard layout for more screen real-estate. Overall the best landscape keyboard replacement I've found thus far but the typo correction leaves much to be desired and lack of an automatic double-tap period (.) option is a pain. Those two things fixed would give this 5 stars. I don't know how likely it is that a dictation shortcut would err be implemented, but if it was, and the above two features fixed, this would replace my native keyboard and get 5 stars.
