Ratings and reviews

I'm using this on a tablet and a phone. It works great. I had issues initially because the previous version did not have a Minimal Keyboard. this was the way I preferred it. I was unaware that I had to select the Keyboard icon and then turn off the "On-screen keyboard" option to prevent it from appearing at points. It works well but when using split screen apps you can't hide the keyboard. It will popup when selecting a diffferent app. I was happy to have found the solution. Great app!

I think this is a great app. It's something you didn't realise you actually needed. It's great to be able to hide the keyboard, I'm learning new things everytime I use it. I've mainly used it to hide the keyboard and then switch back to my other keyboards, it's great to have a dpad version. The included keyboard is a useful addition. Thank you for making this, I can scroll without my keyboard popping up all the time. Should be a os default, be useful if able to be in quick settings.

I am so glad that someone made this. My use case was that I was using my device via adb (scrcpy) and the Google Keyboard was super annoying. Even though I disabled it, it was still auto correcting my typed inputs. I just wanted to hide the keyboard but it wasn't possible becuase Andorid could not detect any physical keyboard. So this app was a life saver for me. Thanks devs! :)
