Ratings and reviews

Before the current update, this app was 5 stars-Incredible/Perfect and so amazingly helpful. I used this as my default on everyone and as an expat, it was one tool I couldn't live without. After the update? Negative 10 stars. The keyboard size was reduced with no way to revert it, the keysize is impossible for folks with bigger hands to use. The voice to text feature is now unusable, no matter what anyone does. The search function was broken. And none of the settings save. Plz fix this!!

This is the best keyboard I have used so far in terms of text prediction and responsiveness. What I would like to be added is to have the option to switch languages by swiping the space bar like in the Samsung keyboard. I need to change language many times while emailing and I find the space bar sweeping the easiest and fastest way (having a dedicated key or holding space bar it seems not so convenient to me). Great job overall!

The functions of this application are very useful, especially the voice typing, which is the function I use the most. I also love the dual-language function, but it's frustrating when it types things we didn't say. I would like the technical support team of GBoard to address this issue.....Honestly, they have to fix the grammar when they translate. I've been trying to write something and I have to try again many times,and it still get it wrong.,😡
