I tried to love this but I can't. Although it's just as good as Keymonk was. I've used it for quite some time and still don't know how to use these crazy menus properly. They are all over the place! This needs a serious redesign as usability went out the window completely.

The core functionality is solid though.

Agreed. Using the December 20th beta and I absolutely love how much customization is available, but it is a little cluttered.

Incredible that you can turn off ALL effects and there are so many minimal options. I love it.

Really fantastic , I love the themes, take advantage of my amoled. all the small differences like having to double tap for double letters I will get used to. wish I didn't have to double tap double letters but its not the end of the world. Ideally I should never have to lift my fingers to spell a word, or swipe over to the apostrophe. Keymonk could figure out what I was trying to type very well without these little necessities.

I am already getting used to the word suggestion method, it is easy to slide down the suggestions quickly. It is really incredible that I can customize what each top bar box shows, suggested word, previous word, etc. I don't know why they don't all show suggestions by default, but I am glad it is so customizable. Once I figured out how to get into the really complex menu options, though it took a few clicks, I didn't mind. I like the drag to go between categories, and I didn't mind repeated options, since they made sense in multiple locations.

I still don't know how the swipe left on backspace works. I like to be able to erase one letter at a time, and keymonk when I swiped on the backspace would just delete the entire previous word. On nintype it will sometimes delete the whole word, sometimes some of the word before that too, and often it just backspaces very quickly.

There is small lag between typing a letter/word and it popping up in the text field. In some cases if I am typing very quickly this leads to words being combined or replaced.

All in all I am very excited that I have found a keymonk competitor with so many great features! I can't wait to pay you for your work!

One more small bug:

I LOVE that I can change dimensions of keyboard. Genius! I have shrunken it, but when I toggle the keyboard it for a short moment takes up half of screen before shrinking to new size. Just a little lag between default shape and new shape.

Thank you!

Will be using this as my only keyboard. I'll take notes of any bugs I find. Let me know if there's anything particular I can do to help, I really appreciate your work.

hey, if you read what i wrote in the explanation of this post, i stated that i am not the dev for this app. there simply isnt a page on xda for others to try this beta out. anyone can follow him on twitter and get the latest betas here and discuss about the app.

Im Glad to see that emoji is finally getting added, cuz I keep switching back and forth between keyboards because this keyboard is actually addicting IMO xD. However sometimes the keyboard acts up really bad. But eh its so useful
