Ice Cream Sandwich Keyboard for Android
This keyboard is excellent. It has a very quick response for those quick typers, like myself, and the accuracy is also very good. One big advantage that this keyboard has over other ones I have used, especially the other ICS keyboard I used, is that the height of the keys and of the entire keyboard is higher than the other ICS keyboard, thus resulting in improved accuracy since there is less room for missing a key. The response so far is exceptional. I can fly by words and it gets them right and corrects any misspelled words with perfect accuracy. Any mistake could very well be a simple mistake, like putting in the wrong word or wrong letters. I recommend this keyboard for anyone who wants a fast response without lag and great accuracy. Definitely is the best keyboard to use!
Absolutely live the keyboard. Free. nice layout. Great auto correct, fast type. However, how can u not have Chinese? Come on Chinese so large population! .... depresses me.... Btw trad chin pls! Oh ans btw I sibt know I'd this is only for the donated version, but there's no a hide keyboard button?
My smartphone has only a 2.8 inch screen so has a very small keyboard. When I looked at the keyboard first I thought it was too small and that it wouldn't be any good but I decided to give it a go after watching the video. After typing on it for a few minutes I WAS CONVERTED. It is now my default keyboard and believe me I've tried out a good number due to the small scree size on my phone. Some of the keyboards I used had some good features but nothing like this keyboard. I no longer have to hit the correct key which is a godsend. I have really improved my typing speed, I am a touch typer so I'm glad to have a keyboard that can give me some speed. For that reason this is the keyboard I have decided to stick with. In my case the combination of big fingers and small screen really has tested all the keyboards I have tried out. I especially like the feature where you can get a big list of possible words while holding down the middle word suggestion which has the three dots underneath. Well done all in getting this to Android 2.2/2.3. Finally, my long quest for a workable keyboard is finally over. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this keyboard.
You need to check the online Dictionary. Everytime I say the word kant it writes it with a k!! How can you fix that? I just wrote this whole message using the voice function! But it sucks that the word kant is spelt wrong! Also, voice typing in Greek types English for some reason! Fix and announce these problems and I'll donate to get the full version! And fix my rating, promise!
I noticed it defaults to 123 sometimes instead of ABC. Also the text prediction and auto correction arent that good. Not near as good as Steven Lin's GB keyboard on the market. That is hands down the best keyboard I've ever used.
It is really good. I like this keyboard, because it supports Arabic language with diacritics. That's rarely found on other keyboards. There is a little bad thing with it. Which is the long language title when changing input language. The label between brackets is not necessary (ice cream sandwich keyboard free)
I just wrote a 7 page paper on this keyboard. 'Nuff said. My only issue has been that there is no caps lock. I must repeatedly press shift to capitalize letters. However, because the keyboard is so fantastic, this is really nbd. I've tried the default HTC keyboard, Swype, Swiftkey, Smart Keyboard, 8pen, Touchpal, SlideIT, Go Keyboard, Better Keyboard, and more, and this beats all of them. Evo3D
Way better than the Samsung keyboard. It has a nice user friendly interface and, it almost makes my Galaxy S II complete. (no update yet :( ) But I really like this keyboard
I have been through so many keyboards, THIS ONE BEATS THEM ALL! It doesn't mess up my words, doesn't put a bunch of periods in between words like almost all the other keyboards do, I love it. 5 stars!
I got so sick of the standard keyboard on my Samsung S2. Always putting a piriod between words and making.me.text like.this. So annoying! But I really like this keyboard, very smart and easy to use ... well done!
SWEET BABY JESUS. This is FINALLY the keyboard I'm looking for. As a user of a galaxy S with custom 2.3 ROM, we have been battling a bug where every letter at the beginning of words was doubled... not only does this ELIMINATE the galaxy S double letter bug, it finally gives us a normal return key instead of the useless smiley key!! My keyboard dreams have come true! And yes. It was so bad previously, I DREAMED of a world where galaxy S could have a working keyboard...
Its very laggy. Like beyond very laggy on my galaxy s2 ics. It was perfect on gingerbread. I know this app has a lot of potential hope the next update fixes the lag
I won't lie, with such few downloads, I was questioning if this app would be any good. I find this WAY better than GO keyboard which has like millions of downloads. The auto correct is much more intelligent and highly intuitive. Even recognized and splits words when for example you type a "b" instead of a "space". I'd buy the paid for the personal dictionary if I didn't expect an ICS update on my Rezound soon.
Its a great gob u have done, thank you. But please in arabic version there are alot of missing letters like (alhamzah, althaa, yaa almad....) kindly add them as they are very important in Arabic.
New to android and was hating the standard and most other keypad apps till I found this one. I don't want to smash my phone against the wall anymore when I type. Happyness :)
I liked it well enough and wouldn't mind going back but right now it has some major flaws for me. Whenever I switch between landscape and portrait mode I lose whatever I typed. When typing really long texts it is tragic to lose it just because I set my phone down. Please fix. HTC EVO 3D.
The keyboard itself is the best on the market in my opinion. Always the first app I install. However, is it just me or are the key clicks way too loud? There is no option to adjust the volume.
I love it! Had ics then changed back to gingerbread and really missed ics. After you install and then select it in settings you have to long press in any text input window and select ics keyboard to get it to come up.
I have just started using this new keyboard. So far I'm impressed it seems better than the standard one that came with my HTC inspire. Still getting used to the size difference on the keyboard tho..
Keyboard is awesome. Works very well and I hardly get any typos with this keyboard. It only sucks how there aren't any Asian language inputs to this keyboard. Only thing tats keeping me from buying the full version.
This keyboard is horrible. It is pathetic and frustratingly annoying for people who use predictive text on a 3x4 keyboard. There is minimal effort put into this keyboard with a lack of any words that make this keyboard extremely questionable.
I have the HTC one x. And the sense keyboard is complete gabarge and I'm not a huge fan of swift key either. I'm so glad I found this original ics keyboard. Its by far the best. Clean and simple and IT JUST WORKS!
The donate version of the app should be just as updated with the free app. If the free is at 1.1.5 and the donate is at 1.0.8. Why would I want to pay 2 bucks for something dated and buggy. I've tried the donate version and there are so many bugs that need to be worked out.until those are fixed I'm sticking with the free version.
This is perfect. I love this keyboard. The layout is uncluttered and looks fa ntastic. I'm using it to write this right now. The voice recognition is also great. It's accurate and almost instantaneous. No problems so far on my HTC EVO 4G.
I find this keyboard to be the best. But! It seems to be that the keyboard sucks up 41% of battery (checked in my battery usage) kinda sucks if you ask me! Fix?
Dont expect the vibration to work. I hate the newer keyboards put on phones, and this works well on my S4. However, I NEED the vibration aspect and it doesnt work. Period. Definately not worth paying for a donation version.
I had been using the Google keyboard, which I like a lot, but it was glitchy so I downloaded this. It has all the features I love and hasn't given me any issues so far
Hated the Samsung keyboard as no matter how I tried to program it somehow the default settings would come on again.. This ICS keyboard is great replacement and is more accurate than the Samsung stock..
Good keyboard helped me type better because my default keyboard is rubbish, good app
Went through 6 others before finding and loving this one. Intelligent autocorrect that quickly and easily can be added to. Slight kinks but miles better than GO or anything else.
It took me about 4 times to download it. I don't understand y its called ice cream sanwhich either. But its a way better keyboard then the go keyboard. My suggestion is when I write dony it changes to Sony when it should be changed to don't. Also when I type mr it should be changed to me.
Keyboard works well on my Inc2. One complaint: the return key works as Enter in Google voice and leads to many accidental texts. Can't use this unless fixed :-/
Like it very much. I feel like I can almost type anywhere close to the right word and it will just auto correct for me very accurately. Looking forward to more updates to make it even better. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad I downloaded this app. The stock keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy 3 was driving me crazy with their insane predictive text. It was always wrong and so annoying. I really appreciate the spell check so I wanted a keyboard similar to the original Samsung Galaxy, which I loved. This keyboard is even better than that one. Download it. You will not be disappointed. THANKS GUYS!!!
GS2; Definitely best keyboard so far. most accurate voice recognitions in English & Spanish. De hecho lo estoy usando ahora mismo para este Review.
Overall a good board.. i can now use the same board on my droid. However some of the settings are not that clear it took me 10 mins and alot of headscraching to turn off what i call " the black box above the keyboard that gives word suggestions" which waa anoying me as it was taking up too much screen space.
the app worked great at first, but it eventually (after a minute or so of use) became extremely laggy, and if used with the chrome beta on ics, completely unusable. and i know that sounds weird, i installed this because the default ics keyboard was not included with the rom i'm running (aokp b28 on the galaxy note). that said, on several other phones i've run it on, this keyboard has done the exact same thing on gingerbread and ics. starts out fine, and within a minute or two, extreme lag.
I love the keyboard and its ability to use the enter button during SMS. Only one glitch, sometimes keys stay blue until they're used again.
I tried them all: Swift, Swype, GO Keyboard, Samsung built in keyboard, etc, this on is the best! Especially on the Samsung Note. Built in GB is good...but definitely not made for 5.3" screen.

This keyboard solves a lot of my complaints I've had about swype and the Samsung keyboard. I just have a couple items that I would like added and changed. I don't like having to push and hold the shift button to get caps lock. Double tap is faster and more intuitive. I also would like to see it learn my common words better. For example. My wife's name is Krista but it still hasn't learned it to the point where it gives the full spelling after the first two letters. Fix those two and I would be very happy.
