What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Hindi tradittional language is not working"
Tarun Raman
"Edit: this does now not work on Android 10 for me. This was pretty easy to enable and it TOTALLY FIXED the fact that my Android keyboards wouldn't work to capitalize with the Shift key. Why this isn't fixed by now (it's been an issue for 5+ years) I have no idea - but this fixed it. Thank you for making this app!"
Paul Kopalek
"As far as I know this is the only app which allows using Polish programmer's layout in Google Docs. All other keyboards kept executing Docs shortcuts instead of Polish characters - both are rALT-based."
Paweł Iwaniec
"बहुत ही खराब एप्लिकेशन है भाई खरीदना मत । प्रति ऐसे लिखता है ।"

"Can't activate language switching. When I uncheck disable and save, it does not save."
Saeed Aleid
"Working splendidly. Prior to installation of this app the input from the Bluetooth keyboard resulted in repeating letters all the time and I couldn't type for all the constant correcting. Great app."
Michael Habermann
"Superb Application! Thanks a lot."
Mehmet Can URAL
"Ecxcellent keyboard app if you use an external keyboarf (like a laptop computer) and need the ability to switch between multiple languages, as I do regularly"
Ole Eskildsen
"I use this app to remap caps lock to another ctrl key, and to remap my alt keys to esc keys (useful for emacs) because the Android system was wrongly intercepting the alt keys. The only annoyance is that I have to switch the input method to external keyboard helper *before* I connect the external keyboard, because my phone does not allow changing input method while an external keyboard is attached."
Bart Parkis
"Doesn't work on Samsung S7 Pro Tablet No documentation and half of the settings panels are blank. It's clear from the framework there's supposed to be something in the settings panels (there are several radio boxes), but no text associated with them. And it just doesn't work. I tried to configure a custom mapping to swap caps and control and it just plain didn't work."
