β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜† Η·ynnΕ₯ari Β· Aug 2, 2023
The GUI is cumbersome and the button it suggests to change between Custom Keyboard and other keyboards doesn't exist. The keys could show the first subway they expand to like GBoard. If the GUI when editing the keyboard was shaped like the actual keyboard it would be far easier. And it doesn't upper/lowercase Fraktur letters. ALSO: I can't make a single key type more than one character at the same time, and I'd really like to, like Χ€ΦΌ, for example (letter with dot included).

I guess the only app where you can modify the entire keyboard but yeah I hope the quality gets improved and the ad is removed. It's really useful for typing some important symbols just in phone without reference to the ASCII or unicode table. Also, really useful for conlang developers and special symbol users. 𐐛𐐃𐐀𐐁 This app haha

This app is FANTASTIC. I am currently working on a new language, Zakrotian (Lo L∩ɴcweΙ΄ SΜ„βˆ©cΜ‡rotΜ‡etΜ‡), and, because it uses a few symbols not used in english, I used this app to make The Zakrotian Keyboard. Now I can type in Zakrotian!
β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† Rojel Jemre Millares Β· Jul 14, 2026
Please add a "Create a key on your own" button, and it limits to 100 characters, the key I wrote, it will turn directly to your keyboard, and that update is now custom symbols of uppercase and lowercase even in sub keys as well, and instead of downloading the font file, you can draw in the key to appear as what you draw, the colors are can be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, etc., and you can name the keys even in sub keys as well, as you named the key, the name is appearing inthekey

There's app I installed I searched using custom keyboard I searched in google I see I searched wo then I suggest "wo" to "word" it looks like "woword" fix it, (but I searched in google) "a suggestion bug".
β˜…β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜† Victori Bass Β· Nov 24, 2023
The upgrade is awful! This app used to be great but since the upgrade you can't build custom keyboards many of the letters show as question marks in text and the app lags upon opening it. I have used it as my default keyboard but will now have to uninstall it until a new upgrade comes along. It has not gotten better with the improvements but worst.
