Ratings and reviews

This is a great app - IF you have an SD card in your phone. If you don't (and many of the latest phones don't), you will not be able to back up or transfer your shortcuts (called auto-correct or auto text entries). I had hundreds on my phone, and the hours I spent putting them in saved me many hours of time. Then I got a new phone (no SD card on either phone). Lost every entry. Now I'm looking for a new keyboard app.

Update 8/22/22: New Samsung S22 Ultra has caused this keyboard to lose certain features. Clipboard history is one item that does not work anymore. Maybe they can fix it? I have been using Smart Keyboard Pro for at least 9 or 10 years! I consider it an absolute MUST! However, I didn't give it 5 stars for one reason. Lack of Emojis! For some reason Dexilog has not kept up and added new ones for at least the last few years. Honestly, that is my ONLY real complaint!

This is the best keyboard program I have found and have been using it since moving to Samsung many years ago. I would give it 5 stars except with my new Note 22 Ultra, the Clipboard option no longer shows with the Paste option. That was an important function for me. I have yet to find a way to turn it back on.
