After 14.5, it stop taking pencil input -- mjb9999, 2021-05-08 ### *---- "Crashes" After several months of use (it WAS awesome) the keyboard now crashes and is useless. There is no more customer support so money wasted. -- LeahPetro, 2021-05-05 ### *---- "Do not buy this for Apple iPad Pro with Apple Pencil" It does not work and there is no support anymore. -- JohnG_12020, 2020-06-11 ### ***** "Works as described" I’m surprised there aren’t more keyboards like this, but it works as described. I wrote this review using it. It lets me take handwritten notes in any app like Evernote or Notes. -- Peabody42, 2020-02-06 ### ****- "Almost Perfect" I really enjoy using this keyboard. However, it needs to support Dark Mode. App is less pleasurable for me when it breaks the cohesiveness of the UI. -- Allan Kelly, 2019-10-26 ### *---- "Why this app should go from 3.8 stars to -2 stars" lets tally up my star rating! +1 for being one of the few writing keyboards -1 for lack of updates +1 for giving time to write, it does not auto input like selvy pen script which can be nice for some if you're the type to take your time but if youre someone like me who writes fast it had gotten annoying pretty fast when I had to keep pressing the enter button to input a few words +1 for the developer adding a pretty nice user manual with pictures and easy to follow steps -1 The features for this app are not worth $12. Only look in this apps direction if it's $10 cheaper -1 Annoying that the writing pad is so small and you can't adjust the size of it also it doesn't float -1 to get the most bang for your buck you better have a pencil so it doesn't register your hand while writing with your finger -1 Good luck with puncuation so the star result is -2! I would not recommend this to anyone! If I could, I would get a refund. Save yourself time and money by just purchasing Selvy pen script. Yeah, it auto inputs a bit fast but there are way less mistakes, it's free, you don't have to press enter every five words, and it's simple to use. -- LawyerPawpaw, 2019-07-13 ### *---- "Piece of crap. Wasted my money." No Apple pin support and not user friendly. Don’t wast your money!!! -- MSSJR123, 2019-05-30 ### ***** "This keyboard is amazing with Apple Pencil and IPad Pro" Allows me to take handwritten notes that are converted to text in any app. Easier to take standing notes on the iPad , as well as meetings where we don’t allow laptops. Amazing hand writing recognition for cursive , printed or hybrid writing Only negative, not enough people know about you. I can only do so much from word of mouth. Improve your meta data so you are more easily found in the apple store if searching for “writing keyboard”, “Apple Pencil apps” ...etc Great product! Thank you -- Bishicreature, 2019-05-07 ### ***** "Best handwriting Input for iphone !" If you want a way to have the capability of handwriting, this is the App! I have tried others (not many) that allow you to do what this app does! Give it a try. -- Livingthe757, 2019-03-19 ### ***** "great but Greek Koine addition NEEDED!" THAHK you great app. to study koine and attic, it need to have greek addition! It will be also useful to add latin addition! If would you do that, MUCH Thanks in advance;) -- AVATAMSAKA IN KOREA.S, 2019-02-23 ### ***** "Exactly what I was looking for" I'm glad I found this. After using a handwriting keyboard on my note 9, I realized a handwriting keyboard was what I was looking for an the iPad. I'm loving it because I love using the apple pencil and now I can use it more. -- Sub111, 2019-02-10 ### ***-- "Really slow since IOS Update" I used to really like this app. However since the new IOS update the writing recognition has become very slow and hard to write. I hope there will be an update to the app to fix this -- chibiuniverse7, 2019-01-02 ### ***** "needs 2 things" 5 stars because this provides a very enjoyable experience, and I use it most of the time. needed: - a custom dictionary, as mazec is highly dictionary-oriented (to add words, for example “mazec”, that mazec just doesn’t know - the provided user dictionary is something totally different, a text expansion tool) - stop this from happening: if you write, then stop to see what mazec thinks you typed, and you think, “ok, good.” and keep writing, sometimes it totally changes past words. mazec should never totally lose old guesses, but it sometimes does. also would be nice: - scribble to mark out - a training utility to teach the system your weird letters, so you don’t have to adjust as much - something to make punctuation easier to add, especially when starting a new line in mazec, but continuing one you’re writing (for example: “, or so he thought.” is hard to enter - the leading punctuation is sometimes recognized as something else. -- MaybeTinEar, 2019-01-02 ### **--- "Nearly unusable on new iPad Pros" The handwriting recognition is quite good, even with my atrocious cursive. However, the small, static writing area is too close to the bottom on the new 3rd gen iPad Pros, leaving nowhere to rest your hand. Kind of reminds me of the phrase "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" because it's basically unusable in spite of itself. I'd happily change my review to five stars if the writing area were increased or, better yet, made resizable. -- TheD@ve, 2018-12-30 ### *---- "What a waste of money" Pretty upset right now... just dropped the cash to get an app that doesnt work very well at all. Im a guy and write like a guy, this app will only work for girls perfect hand writing... if yer a doctor... dont even bother. -- Carpet box, 2018-12-26 ### ***** "Works Great" I debated spending the $ on this keyboard app, but it is the only handwriting recognition keyboard I can find. Having used it, I'm very glad I bought it. It works almost flawlessly, and when it isn't flawless it's easy to correct. I have an iPad 2018 running 12.1 and a 2nd gen. Apple pencil. -- Shelly in the PNW, 2018-12-26 ### ****- "5 Stars with a couple of tweaks." 1. Adding a spacebar cursor like function similar to the default keyboard would be very functional. 2. Dark mode or basic theme possibilities. 3. Better support for Apple pencil 2. Double tap and maybe a little more space for#paint. rest. -- Eddiemoto, 2018-12-16 ### ***** "Mazec" Best handwriting recognition I’ve ever used. It is typically very accurate, though there can be an odd effect when adding a period (to end a sentence). On some occasions, the period will cause an accurate string of words to become unintelligible; removing the period restores the accurate recognition. There is also some inefficient use of screen space on the iPhone XS Max. These issues aside, it is very good for writing. -- TryGuy, 2018-11-09 ### ****- "Good alternative For handwriting." Ive been using this app for months now and its helpful. I just really wipe that there will be an update changing the app to dark mode. -- kelavot, 2018-09-27 ### **--- "Doesn’t recognize I’ll as in “I will” ever so annoying" This app is awesome. But for the life of me it is unable to recognize the world I’ll which comes up all the time. As in, I’ll go to the grocery store. Also doesn’t recognize vs. like versus, and is generally not good at the letter v. -- cosmic-sociology, 2018-08-08 [View all mazec reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## mazec In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | mazec Language Add-Ons (French) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (German) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (Korean) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (Chinese) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (Italian) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (Russian) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (Spanish) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (Japanese) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (Portuguese) | $9.99 | | mazec Language Add-Ons (All languages) | $24.99 | ## mazec Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Mexico | Utilities | #27 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Overall | #207 | | Top Paid | India | Utilities | #373 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Utilities | #380 | ## mazec Discovered Keywords - handwriting recognition - mazec ## mazec Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/united-states) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/germany) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/united-kingdom) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/canada) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/australia) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/france) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/switzerland) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/netherlands) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/india) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/spain) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/japan) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/brazil) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/mexico) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/chile) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/italy) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/china) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/south-africa) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/south-korea) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/new-zealand) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/hong-kong) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/poland) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/hungary) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/romania) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/russia) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/sweden) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/united-arab-emirates) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/belgium) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/turkey) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/portugal) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/saudi-arabia) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/thailand) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/taiwan) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/vietnam) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/singapore) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/armenia) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/argentina) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/austria) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/azerbaijan) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/brunei) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/belarus) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/czechia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/egypt) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/finland) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/greece) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/indonesia) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/ireland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/israel) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/lebanon) - [Malta](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/malta) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/malaysia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/nigeria) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/norway) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/mazec-XYEd/pakistan) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
