WatchKey: Keyboard for Watch Reviews

by AloeQueen

You can only use WatchKey on its own. You can’t reply to texts or anything. You first have to open WatchKey , type your message and then choose recipient. This is not fast or helpful unless it can be built into replying to texts. At least I tried it!!! Thank you kindly but not for me at this time.

It’s a free app with purchases. Ok. I can’t even use it. Every time I even try to change the font, it swaps to a screen making you pay for it. After pushing the X ten or do times, it finally goes away. Then, back to the font. Then it shifts right back to the “pay me” screen. Ten more clicks and it goes away. I seriously can’t even use WatchKey to see if it’s worth buying. I refuse to buy it based on this. I wish I could give it less than one star.

I bought this so I’d have an easy keyboard on my Apple Watch 5 for replying or writing a text. It doesn’t integrate with text messaging. You have to go into apps and select it. After you type your reply to a text you need to add the address. So it becomes a new text with no older texts in the chain. Garbage.

Junk. Intermittently works on my watch but usually locks up. Boring features and interface. The worst is that I paid 9.99 for unlimited use and then their site required another 9.99 payment or restore your purchase. I’m unable to restore my purchase and I can’t access something I bought permanently. I never write reviews but this app is so terrible I wanted the word out. Don’t get suckered.

I paid the 9.99 for “life” fee so I can use WatchKey without ads, and “get the full benefits WatchKey offers” however, on my apple watch I keep getting a message to download WatchKey fully on my iPhone to get the full benefits of WatchKey . I have done that and it continues to show up, I don't understand why it's not working properly. I will be requesting my money back. Not happy with WatchKey at all. 👎🏽👎🏽

I had payed 10 dollars for the “lifetime” and honestly it wasn’t at all 10$ worth monthly payment for this keyboard that hardly works well . I don’t know if I just didn’t set it up well or what but on my SE Apple Watch it wasn’t worth it at all . I really wouldn’t recommend or pay for this. Not at all what I fully expected.

by Allyyybabyyy

Paid the $10 for full access to WatchKey and every time I try to use the keyboard I get a pop up saying to purchase premium, when I have already purchased it. I’ve restarted both my phone and watch several times and it’s made no difference. I’ve “restored” my purchase on my watch and phone and it’s done nothing. I’d like for this to be fixed or I’d like a refund.

this only works when well when you are texting someone, you cant use the factory message app with this, you have to go into it separately which is more of a hassle.. the idea behind this is supposed to make things faster to respond to people.. So again if someone texts you , and u wanted to respond with this keyboard you have to open WatchKey then respond.... defeats the purpose in my eyes

by Roidlee

The typing on QWERTY is as difficult as you’d expect on the tiny screen, and there isn’t any prediction. The T9 is nifty, but ugh why would we step backwards?
There’s already an app out there that does this whole thing much better.
The execution and design is quite good, but the feature set is really kinda useless.

by Dont Work!!!!¡¡!!!

For the 38mm Apple Watch, will not show anything im typing. Can see the bottom of each letter at top of screen. And there is no X button to erase anything. Might work for the 42mm watch. They didn’t make there software too good for it not to adjust to my screen size. Will find another keyboard that works

by Cant Use It In Imessage

So I purchased the life time part and wish I knew before I bought it thay in order to use the keyboard you have to go into that app to use it & it’s got some glitches where whatever letter you press it doubles the letters, so I wasted my money cuz I can’t even really use It. But if you don’t mind having to basically use that for messages the I’d recommend. Hopefully the glitch is fixed ASAP

by H4V0K075

It does send through messaging, just not facebook messenging as all keyboards for the watch do. This is not what I’m looking for. Why can’t it either a, override your input settings to be your main keyboard or b, become an extra option to select when sending the message? A gear s3 has the option to add a keyboard….. why doesn’t the apple watch? I have to uninstall sorry.

I have been using WatchKey for only a few minutes. It is better to use the swipe the the hunt and peck. After using it I think I will use it more often. The $9.99 is a bit pricey for what it is though.

by Waldo😶

It’s fine and does work but could be better. It’s is obviously small - which is why the feature with just tapping to get the letter you want would be easier. But that feature you have to pay for.

by Swagencookey

WatchKey is pretty cool not gonna lie but some features could be implemented like the crown can be used as a tool to move the the letters you have already typed out as if you were going back in the sentence or something. as well as a slide feature instead of the glide feature like for quick texting you can just holding on a letter and slide through all others to create a word. as well as auto correct and maybe some other stuff. WatchKey has great potential 👍🏻

by DFELD2005

I like the “glide” feature. Just lift your finger when it displays your desired letter.
Worth 5 stars with access via a watch complication.
Thank You

I would like to cancel my subscription and get my money back

I love my watch, but it was honestly easier to just grab my phone to reply to messages, rather than using voice text (where everyone hears what you’re saying) or scribble which would take forever!! Smart phones gave way to full keyboards, but I always text very fast with the older phones using T9, so this being available on my Apple Watch was heaven-sent! Now I’d actually RATHER text from my watch than my phone. I feel it’s actually functional now that I’m not fighting with the full QWERTY keyboard on such a tiny screen. Thank you!!

One thing, when I send texts using one of the chosen fonts, it doesn’t actually send in that font. It delivers with the same stock iOS font. Not a big deal though, certainly not worth docking a star. Just wanted to point that out because it would be cool if it worked.

They make you write a review to “unlock” and then they ask for a payment.

by CTAdzo

So I have a Apple Watch Sport series 3 and I downloaded this and I looked and it was not there I waited 5 minutes just in case if I didn’t look well and I tried 3 times and it was not there if it is a bug please fix it thank you.

by Nickname2242827

It doesn’t work on an Apple Watch...

by Pattypatterson

I thought WatchKey would allow me to respond to text directly on my Apple Watch in a conversation. Turns out I was wrong. You have to go in to WatchKey type your message. And then you click who to send the message to. I could just pull out my phone and send it.

by Dwayne Wayne💯

I thought the keyboard was suppose to have a swipe feature but I guess im mistakem and it seems like you gave to be extremely accurate in order to type on it

by Haechpee

great app but could use some work maybe a complication for watch face, auto correct, etc
