Nintype

Alas, worked on my 8plus but it’s dead again on my 11pro. I miss it :(

Amazing work on this keyboard. Keep coming back to this. Hope you are able to work more on this in the coming year.

Awesome when it works, but very often the keyboard just doesn’t appear. A real shame.

Absolutely love this keyboard. Had it from the start. It’s the best. But latest updates and iPhone 11pro and its dead. Tried restarts. Resets. Reinstalls. .... it’s not functional. Fix coming soon ?? Pleeeeeaaaassssse !

Fantastic keyboard. Cant do without it. Have tried others but always revert to this one for speed. Nothing else allows both hands to slide in the same way. With auto space it is super fast.

so much better than the swype/swiftkey apps i was using. stable for me (iphone 6).

Love the idea of this keyboard. The learning curve quite steep and patience is necessary (a must?). Speed should been gain if it has stability. Most of the time, it lagged everytime need to start typing. The animation is also disturbing because of the lag. Obviously need major improvement. Later, it crashes almost everyday. By the time I increased the speed it will freeze and re-started. So disappointed.

This keyboard is by far the most intricate and fastest keyboard on the app store. I have used swiftkey and Fleksy but none of them compare to this. Yes it is quite expensive for an app, but once you go through the customization and immaculate detail of this app you will think to yourself 'this was well worth money' At first you will be typing slower than normal because the way of typing with this keyboard is different to all others (swiping and tapping with both fingers at the same time). But after some time it will become natural and ridiculously fast and effortless. My WPM reaches 80-100 within 1-2 weeks of using this app. However, if you are not willing to go through the time and effort of the steep learning curve of this keyboard then it may not be worth the money for some people. Not only is the nature of the way of typing fast on this keyboard, the amount of shortcuts you can include , will, with time (customizing the shortcuts and dictionary to your slue of writing) make this even faster.

I bought Nintype in the early days of iOS 8 when keyboards were new to the App Store. It was very idiosyncratic: highly customisable to the point of confusion, a great many quirky options, an odd style, and a tutorial that felt more like a challenging game than a help facility. What it did do that no other keyboard allowed was two-finger typing combined with swiping. This was well worth the price of admission for me and quickly made it my favourite keyboard. The fly in the ointment was stability: Tintype would often fail to appear leaving you unable to enter text at all which could be very frustrating. For this reason I stopped using it a few times but always came back to it. A lot has changed since version 1. It’s now very stable and I haven’t had any problems with it under iOS 9. The addition of keyboard sounds I found to be surprisingly useful in terms of feedback but also because it’s fun—it makes you feel like a typing speed demon! There are a few very useful swipe keyboards in the App Store—Swype and SwiftKey are worth your time—but after using Tintype they seem limited. After trying many keyboards I now rely primarily on Nintype with only the system keyboard and the system emoji keyboard as backup. Nintype is still quirky and could do with improvement in a few areas. Navigating the emoji input boards is much more cumbersome than the system emoji keyboard. Discovering keyboard shortcuts is quite difficult mainly because if you pause Nintype thinks you want to record a shortcut. Autospacing is interesting but leads to too many mistakes for me. The settings and options are somewhat byzantine and it’s not hard to adjust a few things and then find it impossible to reverse them because you can’t recall where they were in the menus. It’s not perfect and it takes some getting used to but it’s an amazing keyboard and allows very fast text entry. Put the time into learning what it has to offer and you’ll find other keyboards too limited.

The function is amazing and easy to use, but it always crashes under iOS. Other keyboard had already fixed the issue. Please fix it soon. It will become a 5 stars keyboard.
