T9 Predict

AnuraXXIII on

United States

Please please please add a setting to enable actual t9 predict! This app is a useless waste of money without being able to single tap the buttons. 🙏🏻

takes FOREVER to install on your App a watch.

SHOULD NEVER EVER HAVE BOUGHT IT! Awful.

Crashes immediately on WatchOS 7

MobiusDYT on

I get one or maybe two letters into the keyboard before it crashes back to the watch face of my Series 4.

Application doesn’t work with iphone 11 pro

Took the money and claimed they can’t do anything, thieves..because they are simply bluffing the public. I really don’t understand how apple accept to advertise their product.

Probably the best t9 for a watch

kobegoatgang on

United States

I really like the t9 feature. I purchased the bundle just in case I’d want a full keyboard as well. The only downside is there no true t9 prediction. If I didn’t have to hit each key multiple times to scroll through letters it would be awesome

Um wow, not very impressive

Ummmmm18 on

United States

Did I just pay for this? Immediately, I regret that choice. The T9 version doesn’t work like the old phones did by predicting text. Not sure what this version does actually except take my money. The other app, well that stinks as well. The watch just isn’t meant for a full keyboard. The touch sensitivity on an iwatch screen isn’t that detailed. Well, that is what I assume based on how poorly this app works on my watch. The surprising thing is that this app was recommend from then apple news feed that I receive in my email. Time to unsubscribe to that nonsense as well. Developer - you seem to be onto something. I certainly was hoping. Refine it and make it work.

Me encanto

This is a perfect keyboard solution for the Apple Watch! My only complaint would be the lack of predictive text (which hopefully will be a future feature), but as it is it certainly is a nice compact way to type on a small screen like the Apple Watch.

Review

Mipeepee on

United States

I have tried and tried and tried to install this keyboard on my iPhone but I can't. Why?

Basically useless for phone calls.

Sircojk on

United States

This keyboard is not easy to use, especially for phone calls. The watch is looking for a format that could not be entered and will not complete the call. I wanted it for easy phone calls and it did not deliver.
