User Reviews for Typewise Custom Keyboard

Okay keyboard

So i like this keyboards because it is one of the keyboard that work with multiple languages. Sometimes it switches automatically but sometimes it gets stuck in a language and then need to switch manually. This is with traditional keyboard in mind not their hex keys.I use the swipe future a lot when it comes to making a quick word . I don't swipe to erase mistakes so its kind of weird and i'm so used to having the erase button where the question mark button is and at least a number key row above the keys. Also i bought lifetime so i could use the vibration but it doesn't register each key. And would be nice go have an optional ping sound feedback as well as vibration. Turning off this for now until it gets fixed.

Really awesome concept BUT

I really do love the keyboard typewise provides here its far more suited to a touchscreen than a traditional keyboard although it does come with a bit of a learning curve. However i do have one major gripe that is making me consider switching back, and that is the pro features. Its not that i have problem with typewise having in app purchases, its that typewise advertises them ON THE KEYBOARD through word suggestions that when you tap them it gives you a popup ad about the pro version of the keyboard which becomes super frustrating after a while especially since a feature like word suggestions are entirely free everywhere else. It is annoying that typewise would put a paywall between us and such a basic and essential feature, and then throw it in our face by advertising it right on the keyboard through popups you have to click out of.

Clever idea, but doesn’t work as hoped

I tried this for more than the week the dev said would take to get used to it. Never did. Yes I did the tutorials. Not only that, but I don’t think I should have to pay for suggested words. The Dev responds that they don’t sell ads. I never said they did. But. “Pro features” is silly and feels chintzy on behalf of the devs offering a keyboard. Suggested words are already standard on my phone. I think the best feature is being able to scroll back to erase but then forward to reveal text you want to edit. Otherwise, this wasn’t worth the trouble to continue to attempt to adapt to. The honeycomb layout has too many letters that are oddly placed, resulting in typos that one must correct. Definitely didn’t save time, which was a selling point.

Can't Use It

The keyboard doesn't come up except in the Typewise app. I have an iPhone 13 Pro, my iOS is up to date, and everything is enabled in keyboard settings, but I don't have the option to change to the Typewise keyboard even though it's there on my list of enabled keyboards in the settings app. It just doesn't show up when I press the globe key. Every so often it pops up randomly in a handful of native iOS apps, but does not seem to exist at all anywhere else, including on the home screen. I did get to experiment with it in the app, and even there it was buggy. I selected the Day & Night theme, and it started on the Day setting even though I had dark mode turned on. It never changed to Night even though I toggled dark mode on and off several times. I also got stuck in the tutorial on the slide where it shows you how to delete/redo a line of characters at once. Apparently just following the steps shown isn't enough to go to the next screen, you have to follow the steps shown with absolutely perfect timing, or nothing happens. Ridiculous.

So different! But...

Its so cool to have a new keyboard style, who would dare venture outside of qwerty? I love the concept, but the placements of the keys have me reaching further up and down then ever, now i have 5 rows of letters. I find it harder to hop up and down (as you will need to do with this app) then left and right. Also, the number keys are never going to be used in such an awkward format? Why add the 4 at the end of the row after 123? It’s a totally unnecessary pattern change, kind of like revising the English language from the word “yes” to “yeshk”. But this is where the fun part is of the whole Typewise language, making typing a new thing like driving stick shift for the first time. The K definitely needs to be swapped with the L! Haptic feed back is a little generic as well, where as using the phones native keyboard, there’s a beautiful tapping vibration, here, the vibration is too long. The range in adjusting the strength is wayyyy to large. Just light, med, and strong would do I think. I use this for fun and support for adventurers like Typewise! But in a serious conversation or business email, QWERTY is king. They should have a race from a fast texter vs a fast Typewiser. That would be the showcase of this product. BATTLE ROYALE!

Enthusiastic to keep learning

So far I like the layout and trying to learn how to use it. Bit of a learning curve for someone like me who is traditionally a very fast typer. I should have been done typing this review a few minutes ago but so far my fingers keep gravitating towards other locations. One bit of feedback... I would like to see implemented in the future the ability to move some of the hexagonal pieces around. For example, reaching for the letter 'k' feels so unnatural and feel like I could swap it with another piece that fits more to my style. I have large hands and trying to hit that letter is starting to hurt my knuckle on my right thumb. Lastly, automatically capitalize the letter 'I' in a sentence. I'll keep everyone posted with an update soon.

Fantastic even for us pecking typests

I love this keyboard. It’s the only one I’ve seen that actually is faster than a traditional Keyboard. I hope that continued development refines it further to address issues like auto-punctuation-spacing and word suggestion for spelling correction. As it is, I enjoy it immensely!Typing error correction is so much more efficient. No more banging on the backspace key, easier access to special characters are wonderful features.The lifetime payment option is very reasonable and a long awaited, commonsense, welcome option from ForeverPay subscriptions while still offering that option as well. Great to see innovative thinking all throughout.

Needs work

To many useless features and no back button. The Porsche 911 under went decades incremental refinements, not explosive changes. You tech geeks do things like Tesla did to the steering wheel of the Plaid model S when they thought it would be better to have an airplain yoke on a private jet or a Formula 1 car rather than a better round wheel. Focusing on useful ideas like sound deadening would be better. I like outside the box thinking like the hex shaped keys for better fat finger touch accuracy but rearranging them with no qwerty option was dumb. And of coarse the spell check interface with apples awful ai that either doesnt recognize or replaces common real words of the websters or cambridge dictionaries is pretty lame let alone no easy way to tag a word to put into your private spelling list, but that is an apple problem as is the touch and hold magnifier bubble that was so useful until some numb nuts eliminated it after ios 12.5 and then brought back an inferior version in 15.3.

A few big flaws holding this back

Tucking four symbols used at various frequencies each with different gestures is a weird anti-pattern for simplicity. Vibration as a premium feature is a bummer and to me the only thing premium is worth. The TW logo to the left of the smart bar is not good at all and the premium undo feature is not a suitable substitute. Turning off the smart bar locks you out of being able to undo autocorrect. Words like i'm don't get capitalized and contractions like cant don't get an automatic apostrophe but the word "don't" does. The word i never gets autocapitalized. The word autocorrect, a word used multiple times inside the configuring interface, gets autocorrected to "a incorrect". The word autocorrected gets converted to "a uncorrected". There is only so much more customizability this needs in order to be perfect, and the allure of bigger, harder to mistype keys is not worth the compromises. How do i close this keyboard even?Edit as a response to the developer:I just want the logo to be a little bit smaller. It’s huge. And tapping above the screen doesn’t work sometimes like even editing this review. I still have major problems with the symbols layout and the lack of customizabilty. I still feel as if even after only the changes you’ve mentioned the premium price of the pro features still can’t justify the main selling point - bigger and harder to mistake buttons.

I seem demented because of weird typos

I have been using this for a year, and overall I prefer it. BUT... Weird typos. I mean really weird. Going to correct a real typo it didn't catch turns into a circus, where it spells the word right, but doubles the first letter. I see this repeatedly in others' posts, and know exactly which keyboard they're using. Sometimes it will UNdo a manual correction you've made, so that you end up posting something that makes you sound uneducated, blind, or someone with dementia. And in Facebook, it breaks tags. If I am trying to tag several people in a post and it decides to autocorrect a surname (even though I tapped the correct spelling), it will then break ALL the tags I have already done. Sometime I can't tag someone at all, because it will repeatedly try to correct their name and break the tag. It will also autocorrect an entire paragraph at once, including its own overcorrections I had already manually corrected!I loVe the idea, but am seriously thinking of uninstalling it because I am tired of the weird autocorrections and breaking of tags.

Description

FOUR times fewer typos and 100% privacy with the first keyboard made for your iPhone. Featured on: TechCrunch, Wired, Houston Chronicle, Esquire, Evening Standard, Tech Radar, Mac Observer, App Advice DID YOU KNOW? Current keyboards are based on the 140-year-old mechanical typewriter layout.

Typewise is different. It’s the first keyboard that is specifically designed for smartphones. It’s revolutionary yet easy to use, and after a couple of messages you’ll love it. 4X FEWER TYPOS A recent study with 37,000 participants showed that on current keyboards 1 out of 5 words contains typos. With Typewise you finally get rid of these ARRGGHH-moments. Thanks to the hexagon layout, keys are 70% larger and much easier to hit. It helps you to make four times fewer typos. INTUITIVE GESTURES Swipe up to capitalize a letter, swipe left to delete or swipe right to restore. It's as simple as that. SMART AUTOCORRECT Stop getting annoyed by wrong autocorrections or senseless predictions. Typewise learns what you type and helps you write that perfect sentence. 100% PRIVACY What you write is personal. That's why the keyboard does NOT require “full access” and none of your typing data is transmitted to the cloud. To improve tutorial, game and settings in the app, we rely on basic and anonymous usage tracking, which can be turned off completely using the offline mode feature. The keyboard itself is not tracked at all. https://typewise.app/privacy-policy-app/ SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGES Having to switch between different languages is cumbersome.
