Google nexus 7 It only works in landscape. If in portrait mode it only shows part of the keyboard. I would give 5 stars if it weren't for that.

As far as I know this is the best free split keyboard on the Play Store. I do have one problem though; whenever I press the area below the spacebar, it registers as a press of the key above it (usually M). This can be pretty annoying while typing quickly. Otherwise I'm very happy with it.

Every keyboard you will find on the marketplace needs these permissions. Android systems display the safety warning because of the nature of the download but AS LONG AS THE PROGRAM DOESN'T HAVE NETWORK PERMISSIONS THEY CANNOT COLLECT YOUR INFO. Do your research, people, before giving low ratings.

I'm sure the keyboard itself is great, but I didn't get past the "this app may collect personal information such as credit card info and passwords" message when I was about to set as default keyboard. Where is this data stored? :/

Keys are small in portrait on my hires 7" tablet due to useless keys (like .com, [, ]) on sides. Other keyboards locate them better. Needs lot work. But its good its free.

As the other reviewer said.. the message when enabling this is worrying.. why should it have access to personal information?

galaxy note has resolution of 1280x800 but i can't use it. if it's for tablets only, please make it available only for tablets. but i hope its not, so I will wait for fix. It doesn't apear even under 'input method' menu. for those who is concerned about safety - I think its safe to use untill it wont require internet access. make it work on gtn7000 and i will give ir 5 stars.
