I've been using simple keyboard on two different devices for years. It works quiye well, uses very few resources and the baic cutomizations are enough for me. Though, I'd like an easier way to customize the colors, as my fingers are a bit inaccurate. I'd recommend it as a great alternative to the various kitchen sink keyboards.

Just fantastic. I only now realized how much space gboard was taking up for the last 2 years, full of nonsense features I NEVER used. Plus I found the amount of User Data it needed was bizarre for a FLIPPING keyboard. Just swapped it out with this, set the Material Light Border theme, and it feels like nothing's changed. I'm definetely making typos a bit more, but I'll adjust eventually. Seriously, I can not thank you enough for this app.

It works, it's well designed, attractive and it's secure. The only similarly minimal, secure and functional keyboard I tried was also buggy, almost useless and truly ugly. I don't want anything but a keypad sometimes. I have a full featured keyboard, this is perfect as an alternative light "nothing whatsoever except" keyboard. No bloat, no features I don't want or need, and it doesn't "correct" words I don't want corrected, cute resource gobbling complexities or space wasting databases. I like it just as it is.
