Ratings and reviews

I want to give you more stars because you are a privacy keyboard. However, your software has very annoying quirks. This includes issues with auto correction, jumping the cursor elsewhere from where I want to type, and not getting words correct when I swipe them. I may not be remembering them all right now. Perhaps the best solution would be to have a discussion with you and demonstrate the issues that I have. If you're willing, then I would like to do so.

very good keyboard, the multitude of settings are a bit intimidating and confusing at first, but once you get the hang of how everything is layed out its smooth sailing from there. I love how you can customize pretty much any setting you're not happy with. Only thing I wish I could do is organize the button on the bottom row where the spacebar is. You can already customize that row which is great since I don't like having the mic button, but I want the period to be next to the enter button.

Great keyboard without all the privacy invasion. I wish I could customize some button placements, though. With language packs installed, its easy to accidentally change layouts. I also don't need an emoji key in the corner, especially since it's where I naturally click for for something the Google keyboard put there. Similarly, there's a bit of a learning curve for identifying where the punctuation has all moved to. I'd prefer, for example, that the ' key change to " in # mode.
