It's always hard to write in a screen, but that's because keys are always impossibly small for human fingers.

Enter TipType, the keyboard for cellphones and tablets where typing is easier and faster because keys are huge.

Each key can produce up to 5 characters, depending on the movement of the finger on top of it. Sliding --starting from anywhere in the key-- up, down, left, right or pressing generates a different character. There are just 9 big writing keys.

To generate a space, just press on any of the 9 writing keys, thus avoiding the long trip of your finger to the spacebar. Recommended: press the key where you just ended your word to get a space.

You'll soon get used to the letter distribution: it is esentially the same as in your traditional QWERTY keyboard.

The three keys on the far right column are Function Keys. They also work by sliding or pressing.

The DEL key deletes when pressing, but moves the cursor (like the arrows in a computer keyboard) when sliding in each direction.

The Alternate Keyboards key is used to write characters that are not in the main keyboard. Slide left (towards "#1") for numbers and additional symbols, upwards ("Aa") for a capitalized initial, right ("áã") for international characters, downwards ("aa") to go back to the small letter keyboard and press ("AA") to turn on CAPS.

The Enter key produces Enter when pressing. When sliding downards you get Help and Options. An important Option is "Sensitivity to Slides". Devices differ in their sensitivity. If your device sometimes recognizes a slide as a tap, increase sensitivity. If it sometimes recognize a tap as a slide, reduce sensitivity.

Ratings and reviews

This is the greatest app of all time. I wish more people used this keyboard. I started using this app back in 2016, and it has served me so well. This morning it broke for my phone and I thought there was a possiblity that I might never be able to use it again. But just a few minutes after I complained, they reverted some of the changes so it could work. Thank you so much to the developers for this quick fix.I am running a Nokia G10 on android 11 if you need to do some testing. Its beutiful🥲.

I loved this keyboard but then swapped it for MessageEase when this one ditched dark mode. MessageEase is now aggressively switching to a subscription model, so I'm back! And happy to see that so is the dark mode!

That's lovely that the grey colour came back. Now only what's needed is the possibility to set the height of the keyboard, that would be really nice. Cheers.
