⌨️ Tappy Keyboard is for users looking for a big key keyboard, or who want an easy to use keyboard for "fat finger" typing. Tappy includes Type-9 (T9) and Compact Qwerty like layouts, as well as T13 and T13-TE (thumbs edition). Ordinary Qwerty is also included, as well as Qwertz and Azerty variations.
🔮 Tappy Keyboard includes fast text prediction in over 30 languages and variations. The T9 keyboard is non-learning, which ensures text prediction remains consistent, and typing is faster.
🥰 Unlike many other keyboards, Tappy supports all emojis supported by your Android phone — that’s up to 3,633 emojis — organised into nine categories, and with search and history features. Tappy isn’t just another big key keyboard with emoji support added as an afterthought.
🎬 If you love your GIFs and stickers, Tappy uses Giphy to give you access to all the GIFs, stickers, video clips, and text images, that you will ever need. And just as with emojis, search and history features are built right into the keyboard.
🔒 Privacy is a central feature to Tappy. Apart from Giphy search phrases, nothing that you type is stored or transmitted online. Text prediction is processed entirely on your own device.
📝 Other features that Tappy Keyboard provides: • optionally swipe from the backspace key to delete • swipe from the space key to move the cursor • use the shift key to change the case of selected text • automatic symbol insertion for dictionary words • clipboard functionality • choose between multi-tap or text prediction • a selection of color themes to pick from • sound and volume control • optional haptic feedback • character previews • quick-period option • auto-capitalization option • auto-space option

Comments on Tappy: T9, Old Style, Keyboard for Android
★★★★★Cam DeB· May 31, 2023
This keyboard is really good. I love the T9 layout. It would be awesome if you built in the option to adjust the speed of the backspace. I would prefer a constant rate, rather than the acceleration. Great work.
★★★★☆Livee Appendix· Jan 27, 2024
Very slow in prediction lags when typing. Would like to see more themes or custom option for themes and font colors background. It's good to see buttons to go between qwerty and t9 Just running very slow when typing
★★★★★Kate Knott· Mar 28, 2023
So glad to have found this. Been using t9 for years but all the new keyboard apps don't have the option. I have similar niggles to other reviewers around abbreviated words not showing straight off, and I'd like the most used punctuation to have their own buttons. Other than that I like it so much I bought it. No ads either, that really does make me happy.

I was using this for a month and liked it until this "Your 30-day free trial has ended" message popped up out of nowhere and was UNABLE TO TYPE UNTIL I'D ENABLED BOARD!! NOWHERE DOES IT SAY IN THE DESCRIPTION OR APP ABOUT A 30-DAY FREE TRIAL AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO CONTINUE USING IT AFTER A MONTH!! IT'S MISLEADING AND DISRUPTIVE AND AS A RESULT I WON'T PURCHASE THE APP!! If you'd said in the description or app that I would have to pay after a month I would've considered purchasing!!
★☆☆☆☆TheMagellenproject· May 3, 2025
So the app is asking for me to pay for a full version, which is something I WOULD LOVE TO DO. But there IS ABSOLUTELY NO OPTION ANYWHERE to buy a full version. The trial to paid route follows an interesting "logical progression" of suggesting that the user pay for a full version, without actually letting the user actually buy a full version. To reiterate, you have an option-NOT-option of buying the full version. I would LOOOVE to give some money but alas... >.> >.> O.o

It doesn't support the physical keyboard built into my phone. I have a Cat S22 Flip.

Not worth buying. There's no Arabic language option. This app isn't suitable for using in 24 countries worldwide. If you want Arabic, look for another app.
