Ratings and reviews

I'm using this on a tablet and a phone. It works great. I had issues initially because the previous version did not have a Minimal Keyboard. this was the way I preferred it. I was unaware that I had to select the Keyboard icon and then turn off the "On-screen keyboard" option to prevent it from appearing at points. It works well but when using split screen apps you can't hide the keyboard. It will popup when selecting a diffferent app. I was happy to have found the solution. Great app!

This app, or I should say the only app in the Play Store that served my purpose very well, because when I connect my physical keyboard to my tablet, there were still keyboard overlays showing on top, which blocked content on my screen. This app does a perfect job of removing that unwanted keyboard overlay.

this app worked until the most recent update, now the select all button is stuck selected so it breaks the requirements I have
