I have been using this keyboard since it still received updates, and it has been amazing. Dell Streak, Sony Xperia Z, Samsung Note, Note 6 and 10+, it worked great on all of them. Unfortunately the latest version of Android 13 on the Galaxy Fold 4 has finally broken it. The suggestion bar no longer appears, making autocorrect my enemy on occasion. But after many years of faithful service, and in the expectation that it will be seen by no-one, I just wanted to take a moment to thank the dev.

I love thumb keyboard, I don't use any other keyboard I have been using it for years On every device, Just got A new one, so hopefully it works
★★★★★
I love love love this keyboard I have used it for years. The only complaint is the lack of emoji. Its 2020, guys
★★☆☆☆
This is my favorite keyboard. I do a lot in a terminal emulator and this keyboard gives me access to keys that are not typically on default boards, but are handy for working in a command line environment. Update: Not exactly sure when this happened, but if I try to access the settings, the window is behind the app I am using, and I am unable to change any settings. I am using an LG Stylo5 running Android 9 kernel version 4.9.112 and security patch from 01 January 2020.
★★☆☆☆
I have been using this for years. It has not been updated since 2014 and has finally been broken by android 13. It was the best keyboard out there
★★☆☆☆
I have been using this keyboard since about 2011, on different devices. Issue with my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, the keyboard just disappears and won't come back. I will force close my texting app, and everything else that is open. Keyboard will not appear. I have to restart my phone in order to get the keyboard to reappear. With the lastest device update, i now also lost my predictive text line of the keyboard. So I cannot tell the keyboard when I'm adding a new word, or select a specific one!
