Ratings and reviews

Switched as part of an effort to reduce the EVERYTHING on my phone that Google tracks I switched over from Gboard. However the trade-off is that this app is honestly pretty horrible at predictive text. I end up correcting what I wrote pretty much constantly. Has an emoji button but no built in support for gifs or stickers on apps that support them.

This board is good work! The space bar is the 'joystick' but also the keyboard selection. If I want to move only one space, it brings up the selection instead. This needs an optional arrow row to fix it. Also, please add the ability to remove or "forget" a word. It has learned words without apostrophes instead of autocorrecting them. Very frustrating when in a hurry. Thank you for fixing the previous issues! It is a great improvement for users!

Perfect for those who just want to type Want suggestions? Or maybe you don't. Want emojis? Or keep that interface hidden and out of the way. You can create a simple, easy to use interface and type quickly. Only thing I would suggest is the ability to pick my preferred keys / symbols in the top row. For reviewer RH, if your phone shows Google Voice Typing (Legacy), try using it instead of the current version. Once I did that, the microphone activated for voice typing.
