About NovaKey - Keyboard (Beta)

This is NovaKey the keyboard designed for touchscreens. Rather than each key being a meaningless tap, in NovaKey each key has a unique gesture. Once you learn the place of each key you will be able to type without looking more accurately than with the regular keyboard. NovaKey is looking to redesign the way we type on our devices in order to make our overall phone experience quicker and more fluid.

Key Features:
-Ability to quickly move the cursor
-Ability to select text and copy, cut or paste
-More special characters accessed by long pressing.
-The ability to resize and move NovaKey to a more comfortable spot
-Many colors & themes

For the Future:
-Multiple language support. (Email us or leave a review with the language you want so we have a clearer idea of what to work on)
-The ability to create custom shortcuts with all the extra space. These shortcuts could be anything from quick words to email. Quick gestures like space/backspace. Emojis. And Voice typing.
-If Android Wear allows support for 3rd party keyboards a watch version
-More settings to make NovaKey more personal
-Prediction algorithm to increase accuracy and fix spelling errors

I am open to suggestions, questions and comments.

It good but needs improvements like a search button I am having trouble entering words on google

Y70%
by Y####:

Great for one handed texting needs a back button when actually using it for the messages plus app

S70%
by S####:

Looks great, makes me think a little more about what I type.

C70%
by C####:

Beautiful interface and really smart idea. Minus one star for the very steep learning curve.

S70%
by S####:

Still needs some improvement but I love the newly added themes and features. I just have to readjust back to this keyboard after not using it for such a long time. I love the concept of this and think it's a really great app.... My only complaint is the space and backspace... It's kinda tricky but I'll get the hang of it soon.

S70%
by S####:

Love how well it does for one handed use, would be 5* if they added the space bar and a faster way to delete. Also it is a bit laggy with the carrosol effect and hope emoji support will be coming soon.

E70%
by E####:

This developer took a new idea and learned to write apps just to make this keyboard happen. That is amazing, use of it can be rough at times but it is growing on me. I have no doubt that with continued development this app will be great.

S70%
by S####:

It works beautifully with no ads and lots of settings. Best of all it is a unique remedy to the problems associated with conventional touchsreen keyboards, such as frequent mistyping of words. My only complaint is that the spacebar option doesn't work, and auto correct needs some work, also backspacing often types letters instead of backspacing. It just needs a few tweaks to be perfect.

Z70%
by Z####:

I thought it was positively mentally stimulating to learn a new way to type. I find I make fewer errors with NovaKey Keyboard. The tutorial was frustrating but I persisted and got the hang of it eventually. I need to learn to control the automatic apostrophies. How do I do this?

S70%
by S####:

Really liking the idea up until now. I've been looking for something new in keyboards, used Messageease for a while, but it's too typo prone..but this is much better looking and more accurate! Obviously, it's quite new, what else is coming in the future?! Things I find could really improve it are: a gesture to delete a word quickly, and not just a backspace gesture, and, quite importantly, a way of having a clipboard section (select all, cut, copy, paste, and maybe cursor control) I'll be joining the beta. Keep up the good work! :)

S70%
by S####:

It's a great keyboard with a unique idea but has it been abandoned? It has great potential to be amazing. I would spend time learning it to be my only keyboard but it hasn't been updated it a while. Please come back to this

S70%
by S####:

What delete? Where is it?. Eventually figured it's by swiping left but the tutorial should tell you. Also wondering if it's possible to delete whole words. "Add spacebar" doesn't make it visible until you resize/move the keyboard up. The tutorial doesn't tell you how to move the cursor. The keyboard doesn't automatically hide on some situations like switching apps. Suggestions would be very helpful for long words. Maybe use some of the unused space in landscape mode for that?

S70%
by S####:

Cool concept though a lot is needed to be added like. Mostly an option to get rid of the annoying spacebar, backspace, shift and enter. Also an option for different languages like Arabic and most importantly a setting to change where the letters are (for example to make that swiping from the circle to the left will type 'a' instead of k)

S70%
by S####:

Awful. You have to be far too precise with where you're swiping otherwise you end up just repeatedly typing random letters. I get with these weird 'alternative' keyboards, one has to spend time with it to get used to it or something, but its increasingly difficult to do so when the keyboard itself is infuriatingly difficult to use to begin with. If you want a good one handed kb just use MessageEase. Otherwise I'd say your alternative kb choice is best left with WRIO.

This is a dam good app it well take a while to get used to this keyboard, but it is worth it typing with one hand is awesome. I hope this gets an update because it chased in on my new phone.

C70%
by C####:

Slowly, but surely l am getting the hang of it. I am having a decent bit of trouble with the delete functon, as well as I'm finding myself doing a lot of "hunting and pecking" but I am amazed at how intuitive the design feels after just a little practice. Good work Dev!

Awesome keyboard with an awesome vision behind it! I would totally use it if I weren't that fast with another one already! Unlucky I didn't find it earlier :/

S70%
by S####:

I love the layout, but I feel that the cycling gesture would be better suited for selecting the letter you want to use. Really love how you just cycle your finger around to delete text. Would prefer to use that for general typing as well. Nice try but not quite usefull.

S70%
by S####:

placment of letters is seemingly random and the optional space types "c ". but i do enjoy the look and concept.

A70%
by A####:

Amazing idea! Really creative, and a well done app. It takes a lot of time to get used to but it's worth it. Good tutorial too.

S70%
by S####:

I really do love it. The only thing that I think would be beneficial is adding an emoji section as a new update feature! Other than that, it's really fun and easy to use after you get the hang of it!

O70%
by O####:

As a long time user of 8pen, typing with this app is almost similar. The layout and execution is way different but it works great as a blindtyping keyboard.

I have a love hate relationshit with this keyboard. I'll use it for a month, then use something else, and keep coming back every now and then.

S70%
by S####:

I feel like this developer is trying to re-invent a wheel that doesn't need re-inventing. This app is interesting, but the MessageEase developers have already designed a pretty much perfect tap and swipe board, that is way easier to learn and use, with a much better, practical layout; and also with better customization options.

S70%
by S####:

What an idea! Totally different layout. It is awesome to write on such a keyboard but typing on it fast needs a lot of practice, it's difficult to type on it. But I like it..........

S70%
by S####:

All you need is a little practice...then it is just amazing to use...specially the spin feature to delete and undo surprised me...keep up the creative work.

S70%
by S####:

Good! No real problems here. A very interesting design that I would love to see perfected! Doesn't currently have emoji support, but that's not a huge deal for me. Surprisingly easy to pickup and learn. I just hope they keep updating it!

by S####:

Its probably the most smooth and speedy keyboard app i have used. The only draw is a lack of features that would make it confortible

Typed with novakey. Sidenote, it confuses k with backspace.

I would like this keyboard to stay the same . I love it and plan on using this instead of qwerty keyboard.:)

It's awesome, need more language. How bout swipe left to delete word, so there is back button like at corner up right.

G70%
by G####:

It's really good and after a small amount of time it's faster to type on than on any QWERTY keyboard. But please add emojis

S70%
by S####:

It's good overall. Nice functions as far as delete, backspace and cursor movement. It wound be nice to have a voice to text option.

S70%
by S####:

Innovative but useless.. Come on, what i can type with a single swipe with swype keyboard, this app makes me swipe multiple times for the same.. And that sucks.

S70%
by S####:

Really good one hand alternative keyboard. Could be improved by adding an option where no swipe is needed and all letters could be typed on (instead of swiping).

S70%
by S####:

Some excellent improvements to the minimalist keyboard. Needs faster access to ' and , keys. Also rotary shortcuts would be good.

G70%
by G####:

Perfect for writing in most extended latin alphabet languages without switching input methods. Less prone to typos on small screens than the usual keyboard layouts. Easier to learn than alternatives like the now discontinued 8pen. Super-responsive developer. What's not to love?

X70%

I think this app is awesome... It just needs a microphone to take it to the top

Similar to Messagease but stupid qwerty layout which doesnt maximize ergonomics or speed .
