Typefinity Reviews

I hate having to go to a separate keyboard to type a question mark or an exclamation point. I know on the Apple keyboard that you can hold and press down the numbers key button and it’ll immediately switch back to the regular keyboard. However, losing the dictation function is kind of an important feature that should be noted earlier. I paid five dollars for Typefinity, but now I won’t even use it at all because of the lack of dictation function.

I loved Typefinity and even paid for it which is rare for me. That was just before I bought my iPad Min 6. Actually I bought it for that reason. I worked great on my iPad Mini 4. Now that I've made the switch and sold my Mini 4, I find that I cannot seem to get it to work on my iPad Mini 6. It just won't show up as one the choices of Keyboards. 🙅 If the developer can solve this problem I will write a 5 Star review.

This keyboard is great but it needs an actual emoji key, and the ability to remove the arrows beside the space bar. They're obsolete when you can just hold the space and drag.

I do want to love this keyboard. So much shift and long press power, access to foreign language characters and math/technical symbols makes this perfect for my global engineering job use.

However, the swipe functionality is actually WORSE than native iPhone prediction, and terrible compared to Gboard (that listens).

Does not hold a candle to the OG Nuance Swype.

“this” becomes either “thud” or “Todd” No matter what I do. Accuracy improves somewhat when slowing WAY down and pausing swipe on each letter, but that defeats the purpose.

Can’t get a refund, but knew that going in.

Not upset - but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE improve the prediction. I’d pay $75 for Typefinity if prediction were as good as native Apple or G board, and $150 if it maintained a local editable custom dictionary. NOT JOKING. It means that much to me to have a sophisticated swipe functionality with easy access to symbols and a custom dictionary, but with no Internet or keylogging.

I'm worrying thud review using the heroes as its swipe function. If toy can't read this then toy why it gets 3 streets.

Here’s the same using default iOS keyboard:
I’m writing this review using this keyboards swipe function. If you can’t read this then you know why it gets 3 stars.

As you can see it’s pretty terrible at swipe. The location of some of the keys makes little sense as well. Wish there had been a demo version before purchase. There’s also no refund option :(.

Although I purchased this due to it being the only symbol and number keyboard with letters available, I have to say Typefinity performance is just mediocre. It glitches, doesn't swipe common words more often than not, and it all together doesn't type words you would expect to be in the memory system of Typefinity . I spend more time editing and fixing my writing with Typefinity. It's very annoying. There's been no updates either to Typefinity since having it a year now. Within this small review, it missed at least 10 things. Could be something amazing, but it just isn't.

Everything works great until IOS 18.2 when auto correct no longer works

I spoke too soon. It appears that the fix to load the keyboard was to restart my device in order for the keyboard to show up in any app. This takes some getting use to. The swift typing is not as fluent as the swift typing on my iphone.

Generally I use this keyboard, but for me it's major shortcoming is the inconsistent use of the long press.
When long pressing, please add the superscript items displayed on the top row. For example, long press '3' produces should also offer '#' as well as '³' and '₃' this saves having to use the shift key. For example long pressing '/' also offers '?'
It makes a big difference for people that only have the use of one hand or just for people that tap with one finger.

This is probably the best keyboard for iPhone but lacks terribly in correction. Having fat thumbs makes it hard yo be 100% accurate in key presses. This keyboard doesn't help with that or at least not very well. I love the auto space, the comma key and the number row. But I've had to correct my typing at least 5 times in this review and probably still missed something.

I bought the previous version of this called PadKeys, now I upgraded to this app. It is a small price to pay for the keyboard Apple should include with an Ipad. I tried a foldable Bluetooth keyboard, it was never around when I needed it. The whole point of an IPad is portability and carrying around another keyboard was not something I enjoyed. This keyboard is exactly what I was looking for on my Ipad.

So when I found out that I had to pay to get this version I was not happy. My hubby pointed out that a lot of places charge when they bring out a new version and I saw the light and ordered. I am so glad that I did! This keyboard works great, I love that you can make the numbers larger and I especially love having the calculator on the keyboard! I highly recommend this keyboard.

Cons: I find it easier to accidentally fat-finger unintended keys on this keyboard.

Pros: FINALLY A TAB KEY. As someone who likes to write on the go, I am forever thankful for this. Trying to find workarounds for indenting as intended on Google Docs was a disaster. Also I really appreciate the left and right arrow keys for moving the cursor around.

iOS makes it super easy to switch between keyboards in the moment, so I find myself switching a fair amount. You just tap the little globe icon in the bottom left of the keyboard and it'll automatically switch between the standard Apple keyboard and this one.

This keyboard has everything I could ever need or want from a keyboard except for maaaaybe emoji support – and if I need that I can just use the default emoji keyboard. The only minor issue I have with it is that while in light mode the keyboard uses a background color that almost perfectly matches the space below for iPhone X and up, in dark mode the color is a much worse match. I know, it's extremely minor, but still odd.

The title says it all. Much needed tab, right/left cursor keys, forward delete and all the keys (such as shifted characters) are where they normally are on a physical keyboard. By far the best keyboard app I have used on the Ipad. Wouldn't a cmd key be nice!

What a powerful keyboard! It really speeds up the typing of emails and text. Best of all it doesn’t harvest your keystrokes like SwiftKey did. Great app that is highly customizable

I love my iphone but hate the Apple keyboard. This is the perfect fix. You can even slide to type which I also prefer.

I just downloaded Typefinity today and I'm really liking it on both my iPad and iPhone. Yes it did take a few short minutes to get familiar with the layout, but after that short learning curve all is good. I'm really impressed with how good the auto correct works without being online. Having all of the symbols and numbers visible on the keyboard make typing a breeze. The developers put a lot of time and thought into making this great keyboard. My thanks to the developers for this simple to use well thought out keyboard. Excellent job, well done!

It took some minutes to get used to the backspace key location, but Typefinity is perfect. Very happy.

Earlier, I rated this one star because I couldn't get it to come up by pressing the Globe key on the standard keyboard, as the installation instructions instructed. I was able to uninstall the emoji keyboard, which I never use anyway, and then I was able to install this keyboard. It works fine for me now. Just be aware that if you need to type in a password, you will still need to use the standard keyboard due to an Apple security requirement.

I usually use a Bluetooth external keyboard for landscape typing and this product for portrait typing. I also use this product in landscape sometimes when the Bluetooth one has turned off to save the battery, and I don't want to turn it back on. Money well spent!
