Accessibility

The keyboard is still in early development with more options and features to come, feedback is welcomed. No data or information is collected by the developer(s), there is also no and never will be internet permissions for this application.

Ratings and reviews

Just downloaded the app again on a new phone. Great translator and no known issues on my part. Highly recommend, especially those looking for an elder futhark translation.

honestly the only good runic keyboard for android.

Great app design. The keyboard is offline and doesnt link to a cloud. The personalization options have quite a bit of range without becoming overwhelming. Of coure the best part of this keyboard is using runes. I prefer the furthorc script and this app allows auto translation between furthorc and english. A really cool way to bring some history into the life or speak with a friend in code. Lastly, the app developer is friendly and very helpful. This is my new favorite and default keyboard.
