version 1.8.1 was unusable
May 25, 2018 By soubeagiUPDATE: I downloaded 1.8.2 (which was apparently made available shortly after originally posting this review), and it appears to have fixed my problem - or maybe it was some strange glitch which I can no longer duplicate. I didn't keep a copy of 1.8.1, so I can't say for sure either way. UNEDITED ORIGINAL REVIEW FOLLOWS; PLEASE IGNORE. This was a very nice alternative keyboard, but the latest update has the keyboard panel showing up as totally blank. Luckily, tapping the blank space two or three times makes the device revert to the default keyboard, so it doesn't totally gum up the works, but I've had to revert to the older version to get this working again. more -
Needs Layout And Design Improvement
Mar 19, 2018 By abcjmeThis app has a lot of potential, but there are a few simple things that could drastically improve it. - The modifier and layer keys should either have a different bg color, or a different border color than the rest of the keys (related to the point above. - The emoji section should include a backspace key (an “x”) so that people can quickly erase a wrongly chosen emoji. *If these changes are made, I’ll give this 5 stars. EDIT: I see now that one of the options was available in settings. more -
Big keys keyboard Review
Apr 3, 2021 By Tyree Walker 23I love the app alot it helps me see my keyboard way than before . the only problem i have with it though is I wish it was a way you could remove the Character pop -ups on the keys , because sometimes that causes me to still have minor typos thinking i pressed one key when i actually pressed another. if that could be fixed it would help me out alot thank you. more -
best large keyboard by far
Nov 27, 2017 By Commander A.Shepardby far this is the best large keyboard. my only wish is that thw responsivness were a little better with the button presses and there were a black on white keyboard. also the auto cap button always stays on with the first texted letter which i dont like even when the auto cap option is off. other thsan that this is an amazing app for people like me with low vision more -
Finally a big keyboard that works
Jul 19, 2021 By M$360Easy to type. Easy to see. Responsive. Also doesn't have the useless app clutter of the stock keyboard . Well worth $4. Auto correct is not as robust as stock, Gboard and swift key But for me that's not a deal killer. I appreciate having the bigger keys. more -
Best keyboard for the visually impaired or blind community
Apr 23, 2021 By Onica03Love this keyboard, it work's good with voiceover And you can use Apple Pay and all the other apps like if you were on the Standard . I definitely recommend worth the three dollars and then some. -
Very helpful app!
Oct 22, 2018 By A. HawkbirdWhether you have big thumbs or low vision, this app will be extremely helpful. All of the color combinations, text, and key sizes are appropriately designed for usability. The app is simple to use. The emoji’s are a bonus! I never used emojis until this app because they were too small. Any quirks I notice, the developers are quick to react to my emails. I have communicated several times and have always received a prompt response. This is extremely rare. Thanks again Hassan! This app makes my situation more tolerable. Keep up the great work! more -
Thank you
Jan 7, 2018 By MoiréI have a genetic I disease known as retinitis pigmentosa and my vision is very low. This application is awesome and works well with other iOS applications. Thank you and keep up the great work. I can’t wait to see what you develop next. more -
BE YOUNG AGAIN
Aug 18, 2019 By StoneVHThree Questions- Are you over 40 ? At the gym, do you hate wearing your readers in front of a bunch of guys younger than your favorite pair of boots ? Still at gym, do you wanna annoy your wife because you no longer wear your readers in front of all those lovely gym-jigglers, who think your beat-up boots are sexy ? These three questions are the answer to your question- Should I plunk down 4 bucks for this App ? Class of '83, still Rules the School ! more -
Closing settings page
Jan 19, 2018 By Lynnrip70I have the same issue as the reviewr before mine. Also it lags while typing, the back key is the worst. I switched back to my regular keyboard to write this because it seriously took me about 3 minutes to write. As you can see, the word “reviewer” is misspelled but I just couldn’t wait that long for the back key to do it’s function. I counted the last delay at 13 seconds for the back key. I want my money back! As it is right now, it’s not useful as I can’t type that slow. Also, the keys are only useful with a long press. Please refund purchase cost. (When you are using the settings page, the settings “page” won’t go away! more

I wanted to like it but...
Apr 28, 2019 By AtroaI wanted to like it but the response speed is just not there yet for fluent quick typing. I took a chance and paid money in hopes that it was so good that there was a reason why there is not a “free lite” version available to *try* first. Had there been a free version to try first i would have had a fair chance to know if it was good enough for me to purchase. I would NOT have purchased it. I am removing it from my phone and would respectfully ask to be refunded immediately. Hopefully the development of this app eventually improves. Good luck! more -
works "ok" but laggy and no spell check kill it
Apr 4, 2018 By Christopher__BrownI bought it hoping for much more and would like a refund please. On iPhone 8 this app is laggy and slow at times but the absolute deal breaker is no spell check or predictive text. It’s April of 2018 and developer mentioned in Nov 2017 review (and maybe before) that spell check would be added “soon”. Still waiting. Having to switch to IOS default keyboard to spell check is ridiculous. Sorry but this app does not need more color schemes. It needs basic Smartphone era functionality that is missing so far. more -
Not working! 😟
Aug 11, 2019 By J. CastI purchased app although it had some bad reviews. I should of went with my gut, but I wanted to give it a chance. I went to settings and keyboard to apply it as my keyboard selection after purchasing it and I see it listed there under "keyboard" but I can't even click on it to apply it. It doesn't have an arrow to allow me to apply it like my other keyboards do. That is very fustrating. I powered my phone off a couple of times thinking maybe it's my phone but to no avail. I would like a refund please. I can't even use the app if I wanted it to. more -
Not working
Nov 21, 2018 By smashtaculsrI have a new iPhone XR IOS 12.1. I set the font size in Big Keys and the old keyboard appears. It seems that if a keyboard would appear it would show the new larger fonts. There is no “Done” link or any visible cue to apply the changes. There is no user guide to explain anything. Thee are no instructions other than to add another keyboard in settings. Do I engage Big Keys within Settings, or is there some other way? Is the Big Keys keyboard supposed to replace the keyboard in any app? How do I select which apps not to use Big Keys? Where do I find the answers to my questions above? more -
Warning about Big Key's developer access
Mar 20, 2021 By JSTNBRTLTTAlthough I think this is a useful tool (with some flaws in their design) please be cautioned about the developer's access to your information. I will NOT be using this app and will be requesting a refund. I suggest that everyone reads the full warning about third party keyboards. This is from the iPhone's warning about third party keyboards: "Third Party Keyboards provide an alternative way to input keyboard data. These keyboards can access all of the data you type, including bank account and credit card numbers, street addresses, as well as other personal and sensitive information. These keyboards may also access nearby text or data, which is useful for improving autocorrect functionality." more -
I want my money back
Dec 30, 2018 By lil bear loves picklesI got this app to try and increase the speed of my typing. But the speed and ease of my typing went way down. The letters are not responsive and when you do type fast, it can’t keep up. The options are nice, I hate having emojis on the standard keyboard, but having the comma on another page is annoying on the standard keyboard, but this app has it on a drop box that takes more time to open. I am very disappointed with this app. more -
I don't use it.
Jan 13, 2019 By E.W.41. The keys are too big. I cannot make them a little bit smaller so it takes up a little bit less screen space. 2. I wish the keyboard would change to lowercase when I am typing. I like seeing uppercase when I start typing a fresh sentence. Lowercase letters are actually easier to see. 3. I like that the keyboard uses the full width of the screen. 4. Wish I could get a refund. more -
This app is unusable slow and not much help in portrait mode
Nov 23, 2018 By Charlie the HikerI had great hopes for this app since the standard keyboard is constantly getting what I type wrong. The app is not usable on my iPhone 7, however because 1) it is too slow and causes significant typing lag, and 2) it does not make the keys much larger in portrait mode. Typing in landscape mode was never the issue for me. more
