About this app

****** The issue is fixed with our latest release v.12.16 *****

MessagEase is a VERY different keyboard, unlike any keyboard you’ve seen or experienced before. It's NOT a QWERTY keyboard! So If you are looking for yet another QWERTY keyboard with bells and whistles, MessagEase is not what you are looking for!

But if you are open to new ideas and up for experiencing a completely new way of writing -- with a keyboard designed for ease, speed and accuracy -- you will be pleasantly, even shockingly, surprised at how well, how precise, how easy, and how fast you can text with MessagEase. Our current champion’s speed is 82 WPM! That's 82 Words Per Minute (most people don't type nearly that fast with ten fingers!)

Since MessagEase is very different, you must spend a few minutes to get used to it. Hundreds of thousands of people have, and they think it’s well worth doing so, since MessagEase saves them hours and hours of agony. With MessagEase you type exactly what you want. No more embarrassing auto-corrects; no more guessing!

We have lots of videos to help you become familiar with MessagEase quickly.

There are many more on our YouTube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/messagease

Also, we have created MessagEase Game (Available for free on Google Play) to help you learn MessagEase and come up to speed with it while having fun. MessagEase Game contains several entertaining learning games.

MessagEase is the world's most innovative touch screen keyboard, revolutionizing text entry on mobile devices. It's the smartest keyboard for smartwatches, smartphones and tablets where the QWERTY keyboard is impractical or very inefficient. MessagEase is the ideal keyboard for Google Glass or any other wearable device.

MessagEase essentially has 9 large keys with an ingenious letter assignment that is designed to maximize your speed and to ease your writing. It may take you a few minutes to learn this new way of writing. But you'll save hours by texting and writing faster.

To see our instructions and descriptions, from the keyboard, Please press and hold on the Hand button.

****Please note: We have no way of responding to your comments if you post them on the market! If you have a question, please email us: support@exideas.com

MessagEase is based on many years of scientific research; it uses letter frequency and di-gram data to optimize the position of letters and characters on a novel keyboard with fewer, larger buttons. (That’s why the letter positions are NON-QWERTY!)

This novel letter position is often very shocking--even intimidating--at first. But persevere and soon you'll find it intuitive and very practical.

MessagEase keyboard also includes word prediction. To keep the package light, the word lists required for word prediction is provided in separate modules that you download optionally. Please long press on Hand and then go to Settings > Languages & Keyboards > Word Prediction for how to set it up.

Please also note that you can change the keyboard size by dragging up/down on the Hand button. You can also reshape and recolor the keyboard in various ways. See Settings for details. You can also change the font used for the keyboard; you can even re-assign new characters or hide and remove some of the characters: yes, it is customizable like no other keyboard you've ever seen.

If you like MessagEase, please tell others about it, and please make sure to rate and comment about it on Google Play.

Again, please write to us if you encounter any issue.

Thank you!

I've been using this for several years now and love it! I've gotten so good I can almost do it blind-folded! Works great for my fat finger typing style. I miss the swipe-left-on-the-space-bar "back up" key when ever I use someone elses keypad! Update: the plan to start charging a subscription fee was too abrupt and too expensive. A one-time charge would have been more reasonable.

Welp. I've been using this keyb for longer than I can remember. it's deep in my muscle memory at this point. I love the confused look I get when folks see me typing on a seemingly blank grid. It's been amazing, despite a few minor bugs here and there. just learned they are switching to a subscription model. Good job shooting your brand in the foot. I'm out unless they reinstate the free app. even a one-time fee would be better.

I will happily pay one time for this keyboard but will not subscribe. Especially as there has been no communication from the developer(s) I can't say enough good things about Messagease. Of course there is a bit of a learning curve to get used to the setup but after that, texting is far more accurate and speedy than even Swype.Copy and paste functions and commands such as hold for numbers, drag or spin for capital letters and "arrow-like" movement on spacebar and the right letters are fantastic!
