Ratings and reviews

I have used this app for many years. I use Google voice for typing my messages, emails & notes all the time. UNFORTUNATELY the last couple of updates have taken it backwards again, at least for me. It is not picking up my words very well at all & it capitalizes random words in the middle of a sentence. It was very familiar with my voice before the last 2 updates, now it types words that don't even sound like what I'm trying to say. I've done the troubleshooting, no chance. Please fix🙏 Thx!

I like it and use it, but. lately it's been trying to second guess me. When I press the comma, I intend to see a comma. Not a period. the period key is on the opposite side of the spacebar. It's not like I got confused. And don't get me started on the suggested words at the top. I've sometimes had to spell out the whole word before I get what I want. And if I do, what's the point of suggesting it? If it's going to guess to try and make it easier for me, it had better learn grammar.

IMHO the best keyboard app. Text prediction is amazing. Voice dictation is tops, even in noisy environments. Emoji, GIF, and image insertion are a breeze. Love Bitmoji support!🥰 Annoyed they took away being able to perform Google searches from the keyboard, so minus one star. 😭 Theme support could be better; being able to use any picture as theme keyboard background is quite nifty!😎 Multilingual🌐 support is 💯aces but wish they'd expand support for more simultaneous languages🙏 Overall, 🏆🎖
