Ratings and reviews

I've been using Gboard for quite some time now, and while it's generally a fantastic keyboard app, I've encountered a frustrating issue with the translation feature. Whenever I utilize the translation option to convert text, the translated text automatically populates the chat box. However, as soon as I hit the back button or any other button, the translated text reappears in the chat box, forcing me to delete it again manually. Works fine on previous version. But this current version is bad.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have been using the Google Keyboard for quite some time now, and I must say, it's hands down the best keyboard app out there. The typing experience is unparalleled - it's smooth, responsive, and incredibly intuitive. One of the features I appreciate the most is the predictive text. It seems like the keyboard almost knows what I'm going to type before I even start! This saves me so much time and frustration, especially when typing long

Edited : 24-March-2024. Using since 5+ years. Great !! Indispensible App. Very easy to use. Whether for Text Editor or SMS or eMail or WhatsApp or Signal App... EVERYWHERE great help with "multiple languages voice dictation". So, making my work very faster, saving a lot of manual typing time. Of course, punctuations = manual. PROBLEMS : 1) Words must be uttered at a slow pace. 2) Can't recognise spellings for 2 words with same utterance, e.g., weather / whether, or / are, etc.
