Ratings and reviews

Update 8/22/22: New Samsung S22 Ultra has caused this keyboard to lose certain features. Clipboard history is one item that does not work anymore. Maybe they can fix it? I have been using Smart Keyboard Pro for at least 9 or 10 years! I consider it an absolute MUST! However, I didn't give it 5 stars for one reason. Lack of Emojis! For some reason Dexilog has not kept up and added new ones for at least the last few years. Honestly, that is my ONLY real complaint!

Lately there is a lag. Sometimes I can go too fast and it won't register the first key I press. It would also be nice if it would stick to the first possible t9 word when it actually is a word. For example typing "am" leads to the keyboard defaulting to "an", which is the 2nd option on the available words to choose. Other than that, I am still enjoying the keyboard overall. These quirks make it difficult to type as fast as I am truly capable of though.

Absolutely amazing app! It took me a while, but I found an app that mimics the wonderful flip phones I'm used to! T9 mode is identical, except for the fact that I am missing the physical keys and instead have to use a touchscreen. I also checked a few extra settings options such as the one that automatically leaves a space after I select a suggested word (useful feature!). Unexpectedly, I actually found I've come to like compact mode even more as the keys are still spaced out generously and I still don't come across many word conflicts (the word "are" and "see" use the same keys though).

What's new

- Fixed load of OpenSkins, backup/restore settings and CSV export/import on Android11+. The folder for skins and backup can now be located anywhere.
