Comments on TyNi T9 Keyboard for Android

★★★★★ Ankit Pandey · Dec 28, 2025
Tiny T9 is an excellent and modern upgrade over the classic T9 keyboard. I love the click sounds, the new beta emoji feature, and the reduced keyboard height which makes typing feel clean and efficient. One problem I encountered is that I am unable to exit the typing mode simply by pressing back button on cat s22 when Clicky is on. It requires pressing the speaker button first. the’d also love a Hindi (Devanagari) option that works like Chinglish input, abc-Hindi. Totally worth the premium.
★★★★★ Sajid Uddin · Aug 31, 2026
Really Great keyboard app! Works perfectly on my DuoQin F25. I'm heavily impressed with the speed of predictive typing and dictionary options, makes it much easier to type, what I would suggest is to add a tutorial section, or a tutorial video of how to type with predictive typing, mainly because new users do not have any idea how it works. It took me 2 hours to figure out you don't need to type like how you type with T9, and that's through the community forum, so tutorial is STRONGLY necessary!
★★★★☆ Chris Birketvedt-Jones · Sep 29, 2026
Would be great to have multi-language dictionary input as in Touch pal. Predictive text in all languages! Also, to have access to a number menu button where the symbol button is - and have the symbols available via this - again, as in Touch pal, this would be brilliant. Maybe the option to customize the keyboard layout so the options buttons can be placed according to individual users. Love the keyboard, but it's not yet quite as user-friendly as Touch pal was. Very nearly though! 👍
★☆☆☆☆ Duolingo · Jun 14, 2026
Updated paywall. Worked well the app updated and all the basic settings like start with AB keyboard or T9 are premium
★☆☆☆☆ Trevor Lonewolf · Jun 7, 2025
Useless. Can't switch predictive text off. Settings button doesn't even work
★★☆☆☆ Adnan Khizar hashmi · Jun 22, 2026
There was a problem of suggestion of dictionary add word showing on suggestion
★☆☆☆☆ Not a Typical Stud · Apr 15, 2025
Why do I need to pay to use smile emojis. That's outrageous
★☆☆☆☆ Daniel Reid · Oct 16, 2026
Not free I'm asking for access to my contacts
