4.0 out of 5 stars By far the best app for thumb typing on a tablet May 6, 2012

By Trillian

Really love this app. I've tried a number of tablet keyboard apps and made so many mistakes typing with my thumbs that I thought i was never going to be able to use any keyboard that was designed this way. This one is amazing in that it keeps the mistakes to a minimum even when typing in landscape mode (now my favorite way to type). I will say there are some issues that I wish the developer would address in the next release. The spacebar can either be set to insert the suggested word or insert a space. This means that even though you get the benefits of a stellar autocorrect and word prediction program, if you end a sentence with a period and hit the space bar, a suggested word is automatically entered which you then have to erase. If they have an option to shut off that one feature, it would make this the perfect tablet app. (Note: you can change the settings to Precision mode where the only time a word is corrected automatically corrected/filled is when you click a suggestion at the top of the keyboard, but I quite like the prediction part of the program. It just makes me crazy to have to keep erasing words everytime I end a sentence.)

2.0 out of 5 stars This is not optimized for 7" tablet devices! July 21, 2011

By Just passing on by

How could they forget about 7" devices. The number pad is missing from landscape mode, the edges of each space is unresponsive in landscape mode, their is no padding options to raise the height of the keyboard and they left the arrow keys option out of the tablet version. Why? Why isn't there a ergonomic layout for tablet x?

I bought has bought this on the market while on sale and hope they at least address a couple of the unresponsive and space issues. The funny part is than SwiftKey x (for phones). Work better in portrait mode than tablet x does. Stick with Thumb keyboard until they make some changes. If you have SwiftKey, just keep using that back at least it is fully functional and responsive.

I loved this app, used it everyday until a couple of updates came through and it takes up a lot of space on my EVO with no option to move to sd card, had to delete app.
