Latest reviews of Keyman app for iPhone and iPad

Keyman pro
I paid $4.99 for this app and it messed up everything including the previous Keyman that I paid $3.00 for and and now labelled free. I cant even bring up the cursor within the app itself let alone using in other apps. It doesnt work or it need to be fixed. Now even the previous Keyman that is now labeled free is not working. Also when you download this app, it will tell you that Keyman transmits everything you type including credit card informations. It will give you the option of allow or dont allow. Why is this necessary in the first place? If you believe dont allow really mean dont allow, go for it. So, there is something wrong here. I have been using Keyman for many years. Now, I may have to check other apps. Please fix the problem or refund my $7.99.
Finally
I love the ancient languages especially Latin, but I could not find a keyboard for it until now. Now I can write in Latin anywhere and autocorrect wont change everything I say. The only improvement would be the placement of the backspace key. Im used to it being above the return key but its just something I will have to get used to I suppose
This changes everything...
For students of language and people whose languages arent constrained by apples limited options of keyboards, this is a must-have. Soft keyboards always had wonderful potential in being able to show you a full keyboard layout without having to remember complex codes or kayboard mappings. Now, with ios8, Keyman has system-wide accessibility. I can finally write ancient greek straight into word documents straight from my ipad! I couldnt be happier: Now, make it perfect: - Make it faster (switching into it from the keyboard swap, and cycling through languages) - Give up on the large "Keyman" banner-- its great advertising potential, but trust me, your users will be raving about you, and simply seeing the language of choice on the screen alone will grab your customers attention. But on the limited space of a touch screen, the banner is far too huge and unnecessarily takes up too much precious screen space. - Calibrate the touch areas behind the keys. On some keyboards the keys on the ends are hard to get a response from unless I use the very corner of my thumb and tap a very certain spot on the key. - Icing on top: update the color scheme from ios6 to ios8 This will become standard software across all of academia. Im recommending it to all my colleagues.
Doesnt work properly
I have been using Keyman desktop for a long time and I am happy with it, but Keyman for ipad and iphone is a big dissapointment. after adding a geez font profile the keyboard just shows squares and to use phonetics when i press akey it displays both amaharic and english fonts at the same time which is useless. Please fix this. I want the Geezz keyboard to work with phonetics without any problem. uninstalling and instaling is not working. Dont you think we deserve a working keyboard after we paid a whopping 4.99.
Used to work great...
This current version is garbage. I love this keyboard since I use both my ipad and iphone when I study classical greek and Its worked great. Ever since this update It freezes constantly accross all my devices. After a couple minutes it inputs every button I typed or will start continuously deleting what I have already typed. Whatever possesed them to ruin the app I dont know but I dont reccomend giving them any money till they fix it.
