Interesting Concept, Lacking In Certain Areas – Offline Privacy Keyboard Review

I like the basic concept. The drastic change in the keyboard layout is refreshing. It does, however, have some flaws that bug me. The top row doesn't seem sensitive enough. I'll occasionally go to type a t or an i and it won't register. Text substitution not allowing for special characters is a huge letdown. I use Apple's built in text substitution both to type the interrobang (‽) and to type various ascii emoji. The lack of versatility in the text substitution feature on this keyboard heavily stymies that. On top of lack of versatility in text substitution, the absence of a shift key of some kind and forced reliance on the swipe up to capitalize gesture makes typing in ALL CAPS really annoying. Finally, the autocorrect seems way off. It misses obvious mistakes like woth (should be with), it won't autocorrect contractions like don't or shouldn't at all, and it wrongly corrects words like app to alp!
