Keeble FAQ
Is Keeble free?
Keeble is not free (it costs 49.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Keeble legit?
🤔 The Keeble app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I have recently installed the Keeble keyboard on my iPad, nand found it to be a perfect fit for my accessibility problem (advanced ARMD). I am particularly impressed with the 'test' function of the App that allowed me to easily check out the various settings without committing to it. That allowed me to quickly decide what worked best for me (Purple Rain with simplified querty layout).
Another great feature I like is the ability to use it in conjunction with Apples's Smart Typing feature. Having the ability to have a full-size keyboard with expanded text field is marvelous!
The Phrase Bank originally displayed a 'hodge-podge of unrelated shortcuts, but after discovering that the order was determined by alphabetical order of the shortcut abbreviations I was able to re-order. Now on the first page of Phrase Bank I have my name, address, phone, Email address, etc. On the second, common phrases - and on the third, IP addresses.

No autocorrect
Keeble is great except for the fact that there is absolutely co autocorrect and I can't change the colours of the symbols. It's annyoing because I have a high contrast keyboard I really need auto correct. Also wish you could pick custom colours.
Customization is great but needs auto-correction option
Overall, I think this is a great app. The level of customization for how the keyboard looks is wonderfully helpful. However, the one major downside I have found is that there is no option for auto-correction. I wanted to use this app for accessibility because the customized keyboard is incredibly helpful but I can not use it because of the lack of auto-correction capabilities.
A godsend
This is the best word prediction I have ever used. I have CP and type with a stylus or trackball and do a lot of writing for both work and general communication. The option for multiple-word prediction makes things so much faster, and the option to toggle learning on or off is particularly helpful. I prefer that my words don't move around a lot, so I'll turn on learning and enter phrases or word combinations I use most often, then turn off learning for a bit so that I know the most common choices will always come first. I also like the arrow keys and abbreviation expansion. However, it is impossible to knock the word "gonna" from the first row of choices after "I'm," which is slightly annoying. And I would like to see an option to reset the prediction data without having to reinstall the app. All in all, though, this keyboard seriously has me wishing I could do all my writing on the iPad, because it's light years above anything available on Windows. I hope it continues to thrive.
Surprisingly good for Skyle eye gaze
I use this to type with my eyes and it works well, despite some bugs.
Capitalization does not work automatically,, which is annoying,
Otherwise it is a lifesaver.
Laggy
This app is ok but lags a lot whe typing fast. Please update the app. $25 is a lot for an app that does not responds as it shoud.
:thanks
The future is accessible
Keeble is a big deal for disabled people like me. I am low vision and physically disabled. I can read and type on both my phone and tablet with greater ease. I am so glad Keeble exists for us.
Works great on iPhone 6s Plus iOS 10.0.2
Impressed by the clarity of the voice of this Keeble keyboard! One important installation note necessary if the keyboard is to read out loud: "...you will need to tap its entry in the list of keyboards and toggle Allow Full Access to ON/green."
Thanks to this instruction in a very quick response from support during installation, my copy became fully functional in a couple minutes. I am very happy to have purchased this software!
A truly revolutionary keyboard
This is exactly what I was looking for in a third-party keyboard! Completely customizable with powerful predictability! I love the Dwell feature, but is there any chance of adding the option for a custom dwell time? For me, I'm looking for something between 0.1 and 0.25 seconds.
Somewhat improved
The update seems to have resolved the backspace key problem, but I haven't used it enough to be completely convinced yet. It was an intermittent problem.
Key shortcomings are that the keyboard lacks undo and redo keys. It also doesn't access the keyboard shortcuts that I've defined. I have many shortcuts in which two or three letters type an entire phrase. Not having these is very inconvenient.
