Can you please address some of the questions regarding word predict from reviews I get the feeling that there is no word predict or a good dictionary. People say that it doesn't do even simple words like I'm or I'll or she's etc. Is this an issue in the paid version? Would like ti know before I purchase. Thanks!

F70%
by F####:

The only problem i have with it is that i mostly use landscape mode to type my messages. If tye dev would pretty please allow the landscape mode to have bigger keys this app would rule them all. Please fix this so landscape could have bigger buttons. Thank you! I have a samsung galaxy exhibit 2 4G

by R####:

I was reluctant to get the galaxy s3 because it had no slide out keyboard and i have big fingers. I hated my new phone because it was so hard to input text on. I love the other features of the phone. I am so glad i got this app because it ended the frustration of not being able to text and type into the phone without a stylus. I am not worried about throwing my $400 phone now!

This keyboard has saved my sanity!!! I didnt even pay for the pro version, but it is so much easier to type that even without auto correction, I can type faster with fewer mistakes! I still plan to upgrade to the pay version...if for no other reason than to add my apostophes where needed.

R70%
by R####:

I wll try it for a while. Why on earth are the letters set up in random order when phone is vertical? Also, no auto typo correction. Are these issues fixed in paid version? If not it it will have to go. Big buttons are nice, however.

R70%
by R####:

It's a unique keyboard. But it's easy to use. Suitable for you who have a small screen handphone. Just give it a try:) Additional info: the keyboard is fast and neat. Unfortunately, the symbols aren't complete. There is no underscore (_) symbol in portrait mode. But you have it in landscspe mode. I hope you can add that symbol in the portrait mode. Thanks:)

Ya becuz it is very comfortable,easy n accurate.best part is it is very help ful. For non compu people.thanks for this.I hv to say something abt fb as u hv told me abt many ids.keep it pls till week end.thankuthis I wrote from big buttons.

R70%
by R####:

I know it's not a big deal to most people, but I love how I can see what I'm typing. I couldn't necessarily always have that with my other keyboards, so thanks. Also, I'd love it if there were themes for this! Or is that in the pro version. Well anyway, it's a great app!

Z70%
by Z####:

I really like this app and its features for an innovative idea of a large keyboard. I would recommend the creator to make the keyboard according to the normal qwerty keyboard design. Since I am used to the old type, I started typing slower. Besides, its great! Well, to be presice, I typed out this review from your keyboard!

T70%
by T####:

I was constantly making typos with the default keyboard because my figures were too big for it, this has improved things a lot. I still haven't. gotten used to the buttons being in different locations when im holding the phone upright. It has improved my typing with the phone sideways though.

R70%
by R####:

This keyboard says it has large keys but the keys are really no bigger than the keyboard I had already.... Thanks for wasting my time and mislabeling your product.

K70%
by K####:

It really works well, but there's one problem (and this may be a compatibility issue, not a bug with BB). On my phone (with Jellybean 4.2.1), it doesn't auto capitalize. If that worked I'd buy Deluxe immediately! As it is, Swiftkey stays on there for now, as it auto capitalizes correctly.

R70%
by R####:

Love this but a fix is needed for the ASUS Padfone 2. if i install it on the Padfone, it appears too small and unusable on the Padfone Station. On the other hand, if i install it on the Station it appears too large and unusable on the Padfone. Pleasa address this abd let me know if you need me for testing

A70%
by A####:

I thought I'd like it, the keys are a great size and I make less errors, the comma is easily accessed by the period and it's everything I want in a keyboard... but it is not a qwerty keyboard in vertical mode on my phone as the keys are enlarged, so it spells qetuo across the top instead! I have minimized it to 80%, which is the smallest it will go but the keys are still scrambled beyond recognition, making typing much slower. I wanted to like it but I just can't. Only good if you text in landscape mode.

F70%
by F####:

Its supposed to be that way. Its a special qwerty like keyboard for portrait mode. U hav to learn it a little. But once U do, its way super easy and fast! DONT derate a wonderful app.

S70%
by S####:

Nice big keys even in portrait mode. Ignore the people who complain that the keys are laid out randomly -- It's a modified QWERTY layout. Just look at the screen shots. The only things I would like added are word prediction and an easier way to type an apostrophe... Perhaps long-pressing on comma?

I've been through dozen (understatement) of different k.board apps and wouldve Never switch or be happy with android phones as far as input k.boards go, tHis 1 excells by Far compared to whats available out there, trust mE.. Or go struggle through the "competitions" onScrn k.boards

Of course, right this moment its working perfectly as I type this review

Q70%
by Q####:

Omg! I was seriously going to sell my Samsung S3 as it took me ages to even send a text as i had to constantly amend what I had written due to my stubby thumbs hitting all the wrong keys! This app is fab and so much easier! Thanks guys, you've saved Sid (The samsung) xxxx

X70%
by X####:

The big buttons are really helpful with a small phone such as mine. However, the portrait view is not too good. So cluttered that a few keys actually overlap a little. I would use this keyboard, even buy it, if this was addressed.

G70%
by G####:

Good app but i use the pin lock screen and it changed the keyboard there too.. you woul think it wouldnt matter but i entered the exact pin and it says it was wrong... I then had to use my gmail to finally get my phone unlocked

K70%
by K####:

I just downloaded and installed the basic version of the software. It does not work. All it does is send you to a place to press to get the $2.99 ehancement.I hate bait and switch applications.

Brilliant. Would have saved hours of my life and cut down on stress if id got this weeks ago! never had so many typos in my life on the cr*p sony aqua, but this keyboard is Brilliant! Thankyou!

K70%
by K####:

this was the first app I installed on my first touchscreen phone. I would have run over my phone with my car if I had not found this app. The portrait layout takes no time to learn at all FTW! A million times better than Big Keyboard.

K70%
by K####:

I would upgrade, if every second line was offset slightly, the colour scheme could be changed (poor vision) and bewvsebtences were autocapitalised. I also need hyphen and apostrophe, more accessible.

it'ok,..but when I purchased the full version,smart com. got my payment ,but no application...how can I refund my payment from smart?

K70%
by K####:

I just installed the keyboard an hour ago and I'm wondering how I could get a refund ? What I'm looking for is a traditional keyboard with lar,ge keys. Thanks for your help. I will email you, yes I did purchase it and install it (haha I kind of knew that was the only way to install it.!).

Hi there, I paid for the deluxe last year, I've just replaced a smashed phone and your download wants me to pay for it again!!! Thanks -Dev, I've downloaded deluxe and don't think i've been charged.

J70%
by J####:

I take forever to text. I have big fingers, and have to edit posts and texts all the time. Not anymore. The only reason i do not give 5 stars is you do have to rotate to type in the correct format. Also i wish their were some emoticons or something to use.

I have had issues with my vision due to health and the KB on my tablet was very difficult to use. While searching Google apps we found this and installed it on my tablet. This is AMAZING !! using portrait or landscape it is easy to read and use. No more hitting the p button and getting a number. Thank so much for this KB it really is awesome .

Thank you so much.My new phones keyboard kept typing the wrong key,it was so small and letters too close to eachother.This app is just brilliant and its free!!!....Once again a big THANK YOU...

T70%
by T####:

I have to hold my phone sideways for "landscape." If I don't do it that way, the keys rearrange and I find I have to hunt for the keys which slows me down. My phone is big so it is like holding a tablet in my left hand while trying to type with my right hand. It took me way too long just to type this rating! Uninstalling.

T70%
by T####:

Its ok, buttons big enough my only complaint is it doesnt complete word spelling for words across the top.

T70%
by T####:

I bought the big buttons deluxe edition a month ago and have been noticing when I spell words incorrectly and then click on them and select a replacement option it sometimes deletes the word or even a set of words that were typed after the misspell. I love your keyboard but this is starting to annoy me, am I doing something wrong?

T70%
by T####:

Yea, I read the poor reviews about how the keyboard rearranges itself when held vertically. Well, what do you expect? Unless you can configure the layout of the keyboard yourself, the developers had to do it this way. As for me, I have a normal sized phone, so I naturally turn the thing sideways to type a message. I suppose that if you are using it on a larger phone, you should be able to reconfigure the keypad so it will still use landscape style. Probably just a slight tweak to the code is all that is necessary - unless there is already a setting for this. Since I have the free version, I'm not going to complain about anything. I find it a huge improvement over the standard Android keypad.

P70%
by P####:

Not cool. A few weeks ago, themes were avalable for the free version, but now there not. This is unfortunate, as you guys were the best all around, cool themes AND big buttons, but now just big buttons. Cuz of this im sadly removing this app and continuing my search for the best free big keyboard app

N70%

They solved the problem with accidently..hitting the number key while typing but.now.the space bar is too short. And you now hit the period.key all the time.

I love landscape keyboard. But the portrait mode is mixed up gibberish. Fail.
