Gboard – The Google Keyboard Customer Service

❤️❤️❤️ love Gboard keyboard. It's my go -to keyboard. I have 14 different keyboards. I always find myself tapping the globe symbol and going back to Gboard! Developers should look towards more customizations to create your own keyboard. Most of the regular skins already in app are not really my style. I mostly create my own skins using cute photos or wallpapers. NEEDS: Fonts, more key colors , borders around keys are too transparent. Please add Special key effects. Totally worth it to download and use everyday! I absolutely love this keyboard app!!!! It's missing some things... Like long press on the second and third row keys should open the corresponding punctuation. I say this bcz in certain forms and sites the convenient period button disappears and you're left tapping back and forth between 123 and ABC. Wastes time and makes Swype typing awkward. Having said that this keyboard has the most accurate swipe type keyboard and predictive text suggestions!!!! Will rate 5 stars when some features suggested or others are added to this app. It's been more than six months from my last review. All perfect since the last update. The only thing I would like to see is the ability to customize our keyboards better. I love all my keyboard skins but I would love a way to.... add more personalization. Google is free AND awesome. Thank you to the developers who keep bringing the magic to third party keyboards in iOS 14.4!!!

The app is ok. It gives you a sense of control over but lacks key features that the regular keyboard has. Firstly, the keyboard is only primarily for the Portrait position, and if put to the side mode, it seems distorted. Also, I really don't like how the bottom bar does not go with the asthetics of the keyboard (unless you keep it on black or white keyboard depending on if you has Dark or light mode). On the other hand, I do like the Google suite of features, though it feel a bit clumped, are very useful. It helps you get links to websites, enter GIF's, and translate from one language to another. The only laggy Google service is the voice type, which has to go to the G-Board app to record, unlike all the other features which are right in front of you. I would personally use the voice typer by the regular keyboard which you access quickly on the bottom. Overall, the G-Board experience is meant for a custom based consumer, who would like accessibility features like Google Translate, Google Search and GIF's in their finger tips, as well either not worried about asthetical appearance or are willing to stay uniform with either a black or white keyboard layout.

I used Swype for years, even once the iPhone days came upon us.. then I randomly got a Pixel 2XL after years of Apple a year ago.. If you're a CHROME user, or mainly default to google(which has been perfect for me) whether you're an iPhone user or "Android"(I've never felt this pixel was a Droid, just a perfected Google phone) you'll know besides losing ichat (if leaving iPhone) that there's really no learning curve or feature displasia, though ichat is almost enough to draw you back alone, it's all I ever missed. I say that to say, the keyboard has been the same as well due to using the Gboard, adding the amazing (and an on/off option for it, as well as other features to fully customize your keyboard to your LOVING ) Swype feature to the already incredible Google Keyboard.. the ONE and hardest thing I find when trying to go back to iPhone, is losing the full auto-fill option for EVERYTHING.. Passwords, saved bank cards, usernames etc it's always instant no thought.. unless I'm wrong google has perfected user functionality in this area, while my Apple remains trusting taking much longer wanting a face recog, thumb print and then sometimes having to pick pswrds from a whole long list, very inconvenient.

Maybe I'm just an aging millennial but I can't figure out where to find instructions of any kind for this keyboard. Does every feature of the infinity video (assuming it's called that) need to be discovered by randomly tapping and swiping with multiple fingers at every possible context point? Also, how does one search the sticker packs? I see some defaults were selected for me and I can choose new ones but scrolling through all the options is essentially impossible. I've been using this keyboard for a year or so and there seems to be a lot of functionality hidden behind an interface that I can only assume is supposed to be intuitive to the point of not needing instructions. That's cool, but please make actual instructions available. Finally, I would absolutely love copy/paste functionality thru the keyboard instead of the hit-or-miss screen tapping. I don't know if it's even possible to access selected text from the keyboard interface (I could see ios restricting that) or maybe it's already available and I just haven't stumbled upon the magical tap/swipe/pray combination yet. Please let me know. Mostly great work!

I love this keyboard and it functions so much better than the stock one in my iPhone. Since the new update it seems off. When I search emojis for example "star" not one emoji comes up. It's not suggesting then either 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think Every once in a while it glitches. I clear out the data and it's like new and precise. Only reason I gave 4 is because since this last ios update my keyboard keeps getting stuck on Español. Lol I'm bilingual but for the people who don't speak Español it's a problem. So it takes me twice as long to type in English because it keeps correcting my language to Española. It's given me some good laughs but my clients are not always as amused. Anyway, I have full faith it'll get fixed next update. I'm a Gboard user for life so I'm excited to see the next board. Let me just say with the two things I mentioned the Gboard is still so much more than any other board. It's able to read my movement more precisely, it's more convenient, types quick(other board now feel show), it's in time with current day demands for personal and business, and the gif searches are hilarious.

I have been using G Board for YEARS now and I really do like it, however, I am noticing that you are still lackluster with the prominent African languages, particularly YORUBA and IGBO!! The majority of Black people here in North America are of West African descent and the languages are Yoruba and Igbo, not Swahili ( for merchant Marines)! Afrikaans and Kwa-Zulu are the same region. Please get rid of those “trade” languages!! we are RAPIDLY returning back to Ifa (Santeria in the Caribbean) where the canons, songs and prayers are spoken in Yoruba. Now for the G Board use with iPhones, unlike Androi phones, does not give the option to enlarge the keyboard to Extra Tall for those of us who have big hands and thick fingers. It’s frustrating enough trying to type as it is frustrating not to find that when you are pushing for me letter you are actually pushing the letters around it. For example, whenever I intend to type ‘Spain’ it ALWAYS appears as ‘Dpain’ and I am watching myself hit the “S”. So i suggest a wider and taller keyboard option for people with big hands and fingers. THANK YOU!

The keyboard is great, before iOS added swipe texting it was an amazing feature to have available. It works just fine for me in most aspects, there are just two main issues I run into with the keyboard. Sometimes after I type a key the highlighted part that pops up to show what key you're hitting will not go away once I tap the key and a lot of them will hover and jumble up they keyboard making it difficult or impossible to navigate. Alongside that issue the predictive and suggested text can be annoying at times. Most of the time it's helpful and accurate and helps me type or fixes my spelling errors but there is a somewhat common issue I have where after I type something out it will change it to something different. For example I could type "for the last time" and it will change to "it's the best side", something I don't say while texting. Not sure what causes these issues but I hope to see them addressed in a future update.

Overall, this keyboard is amazing. There’s so many unique and innovative features, especially searching emojis, the glide keyboard, google translate, and copying links/contacts/etc., and all the customization available. If you’re looking into downloading tbis keyboard, I’d absolutely push you to do it, regardless of the very occasional bugs. That said, there is one major bug that needs to be fixed. Significantly recently, whenever I go to use the keyboard on any application, it immediately automatically switches the the default iOS English keyboard. Strangely, the glide typing on the iOS keyboard doesn’t work either, which can cause a major inconvenience in certain situations. This bug has happened a lot before, but recently, when I switch back to gBoard, it immediately reverts again to the iOS keybord, so I’m almost completely unable to use the gBoard. However, this keyboard is overall absolutely worth the install, as this bug won’t necessarily affect everyone.

This keyboard really made my transition from Samsung Notes easier because I have been completely frustrated everytime I text with the my Apple iPhone's standard keyboard. I have to use 3-4 keyboards/options vjust to send a text message with letters, numbers, punctuation/symbols, and a Gif or emoji. That's absolutely ridiculous in this day and age, with all the technology advances, we would still have type a text message like we are on the old school Nokia's phones!!! I love everything else about my iPhone but it's not user friendly when it comes to text messages, which is one of the main things that I & everyone else does on their cellphones. Until Apple decides to update their keyboards to permanently display a row of numbers above their QWERTY keyboard, I will be using and ABSOLUTELY LOVING this Gboard & GIFs!!! THANK YOU for making my everyday life easier when texting, emailing, and internet searching 😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰

I’ll start off by saying I love Google and I it supports their designing and technology all the way. lPersonally I can’t wait to save up enough money to getMore Google stuff like a home speaker any othervother wide variety of things I could see making my life even easier beside the smooth apps. I have an iPhone 11 IOS14.1. So I tried deleting my keyboard andBringing it back, restarting my phone, taking the default keyboard off along with the emoji or mix matching whichever. Yes full access is on I turned the phone on as an off I had played around switching it to different settingsnd it doesn’t seem to help. I understand it’s fairly new and I know it takes some time to work the bugs out, I’m not even upset because I do like how it looks and all the cool features and perks of this keyboard. I just hope it gets fixed soon because after all the glitching, talk to text,Trying to move the point around, typing speed difficulties and which ever else ot will be another Google product that I will keep downloading throght out any device. Also It does through me off thatThe keyboards have to sit half an inch up so the attention seek ok ng default mic sits,Waiting for another pray to be fooled thinking it’s the google mic that's much smaller. Anyway it’s the start of another already amazing Google made thing and as always I support Google with 5 stars. Everything they do to make life even easier and more productive without the stress. Thank you Google, you all win my vote for being the top dogs😏

(Update 2) Still buggy - occasionally crashes or doesn't display. Usually switching out to the basic keyboard and back fixes it. Don't know if that's a bug with this keyboard or the 3rd party keyboard system in general. One bug though is turning off auto-correct with auto-capitalization on fails to capitalize the word "I" and sometimes the beginning of sentences. (End update) (Update) Had to delete the Gboard app and reinstall - that got rid of the crashing. This has been the best keyboard, despite the fact that iOS is so buggy with 3rd party keyboards. But just recently it started crashing every time I try to use it. The keyboard flashes once (like it’s reloading), and then reverts to the iOS keyboard (except for some reason without swipe active, so I have to switch the keyboard out and back in to get swipe active again). Every single time, even after restarting my phone. This is on iOS 13.4.1 on iPhone 11 Max Pro.

For those who haven’t had this app, I’ve had it for year(s?), and I love it!! As far as looks go you can customize your background, what your keys look like, even what the swipe color is. (I thought I should touch on this first since another recent review said you can’t customize much, but you can! I change my keyboard to match whatever the season/big holiday is that month. Again, had the app for awhile. Each new phone immediately gets the G Board.) In functionality, you get suggested typo corrections but it doesn’t change it for you (@ Apple Keyboards 🙄) so you don’t send anything embarrassing. It also doesn’t automatically changes things you spelled differently once, ever. So if you typed HAHAHA, it won’t automatically change hahaha into HAHAHA every single time. You can also search for emojis! No more ridiculous scrolling through hundreds of emojis looks for the right one. I have searched using emotions, items, or even colors. So if I search “pink” it’ll show the pink emojis, if I search “sad” it’ll show the sad emojis and so on. It also shows up as Apple Emojis so don’t worry about that. You can also search gifs, pictures, and links. Need a reaction meme? Search right there on Google on your keyboard. Need that website? Search on the keyboard. Overall, Google did well again. If I could afford to, I’d get a Pixel even. The G Board is creative, innovative, and down right amazing. If only Apple would stop making me have to re-download it after the recent update. Curious that it tends to do that with non-Apple related apps. :)

This works very well on my I-phone!! It's much better (and faster!) than my previous 1-finger method of typing! I was absolutely devastated when I accidentally lost the keyboard for a few days, but finally figured out how to get it back & was very relieved!! It took me awhile to figure out that you don't have to space between words (in most cases) - the keyboard automatically does it for you. Sometimes you don't have to put in the entire word. Just start the word, & the keyboard will automatically finish it for you. It IS a good idea to get used to reading as you type, though, or you may end up with "feel" instead of "fell" (or vice versa). Double letters sometimes cause problems. The keyboard usually gives you 2 or 3 choices of words if it puts in the wrong word. The more you use this keyboard, the better you'll be at using it, & the more of a fan you'll be!! Have FUN with this keyboard!

I’ve been using Gboard ever since iOS added the feature of third-party keyboards. It’s got everything I need: slide-typing, a great search bar for quick inquiries, access to millions of gifs, a clean look, easy access to google translate, auto-suggested words, and other useful features that I’m sure I’m forgetting about. It’s become my daily-driver and it’s hard not using it, however lately that’s exactly what I’ve been having to do. I used to run into the occasional glitch where it would seemingly crash and reboot over and over again, but this was on my previous phone (iPhone 6s) and I figured it was just because support for older versions of hardware were slowly being phased out. Unfortunately I’ve been running into that same glitch on my current phone (iPhone 11 Pro) and I know now that my previous excuse no longer applied. TLDR: Fantastic keyboard, but there’s a current frustrating glitch that renders it unusable.

The swipe keyboard is so fast if you take the time to learn it! Search bar makes for quick info lookup. I also love the gif finder. Only wish is a better 3D touch cursor. If you press and hold down on the keyboard it goes blank and can be used as a free moving cursor. But that's where that journey ends unfortunately. The iPhone keyboard, if you press more firmly while in cursor mode, highlights and selects text. Could not do that with GBoard. Hopefully I am just an idiot. I don't see Google doing the ball on that. You can personalise the background with your own picture of choice. Makes iPhone keyboard seem kinda rudimentary. Love it Google. You guys rock! Now if they could just make Google tasks have a time with the date my whole life could be synced with Google lol but that is for another time. Seriously. Get Gboard. You owe it to your fingers. And your poor vocabulary. Just saying.

Good app. Some of the glide typing is easy off and I am not sure if it is self learning, which it does not seem to be since it continues to put in the same wrong words every time even when it is just after our later. That is a big issue for me. Making me wanting to go back to Swift key. This either need to really be juiced up out you will lose me a as that is how I've been typing since having the original Droid Razor.... So not changing. Also..? Sometimes it just seems to change from good typing to regular typing in the middle of a message not sure why it what I hit and should not have do that I can at the very least there it just changed from glide typing to regular not sure why, anyhow not sure what I got so I can avoid it change back of need. Where is detailed manual? Thanks and still had fighting change but many of these issues neg to be addressed very soon. Thanks in advance for your help and coding changes. Best Chris Winters

After using for 2-3 years , happy to report they've fixed several annoying bugs along the way, and improved usability. Recently, they seem to have improve detection of spelling errors. For example: if I write "insistance" it will offer "insistence." If, however, I miss the offer, the misspelled version gets added to the dictionary, so I will have screwed myself. Biggest frustration: I want to write "to" and it comes out as "too" (when "gliding" across the keyboard) I remain clueless about how my "gliding" action makes one version vs the other come out. ~~ Update: "too" vs "to" remains a great & consistent frustration. Also: the app is capricious about learning some words, but resists learning other words. For individual words, I can say "stop suggesting this word" in the UI (which works for some short amount of time.) I can wipe ALL learned words (something I have never wanted to do.) It is impossible, however, to add specific words, like the name of a friend from another country. Special "bugs" (I can see no use case for this behavior): • type |the quoted"| then realize you need to put '"' before "quoted." Place the cursor and type double quote: the new character replaces the leading space. Similar behavior with other non-alphanumerics, but not all. Also, the behavior seems app-dependent. There is no control over, nor explanation for this.

Hey Gboard Team! With regards to a design suggestion, I often find myself using the three word recommendations that dynamically appear as I type. I'm wondering if I can turn off the auto-spacing effect that inserts a space into the textfield after I select a recommended word. The reason I would like the ability to turn this setting off is because I find myself consistently modifying a recommended word to fit the correct part of speech (e.g. "correct" appears as a recommended word but I want to change it to read "correctly"), and I find that having to delete the auto-inserted space to reduce my overall typing speed. This isn't a hugeeeee issue, but I'm constantly wondering if I should just switch back to the default iOS keyboard ;) Sorry I didn't rate it a full 5 stars. Thought a lesser than perfect rating may have a higher chance at being reviewed by the team. I love the product though! Keep up the good work!

Gboard is the iOS keyboard that Apple should aim to make theirs. It does everything that the stock keyboard does and then some. It has standard tap typing similar to the stock keyboard, it has voice dictation, and even swipe typing. It does all of these things really well. Recently they also added vibration feedback which is something Apple really should add to the stock keyboard. About the only thing which this keyboard could use some more additions to would be still better theme support. Currently they allow you to change and create a light keyboard theme. They don't allow you to create a dark mode theme however. With the iPhone X series devices especially it's important that the keyboard looks correct in both light and dark. Currently with custom themes though, you can really only use them in light environments with the keyboard looking proper. Otherwise Gboard is great, really doesn't have anything text prediction wise which still needs fixing.

I've been using Gboard on my iPhone 8 for many months because I wanted to be able to type by swiping, a feature the iOS 12 keyboard lacks. I was happy to learn that iOS 13 has added it, but Gboard really is the superior option. It's much better at interpreting my swipes, and almost always offers the word I wanted as an alternative if it guesses wrong. I don't want to gripe about the native iOS 13 keyboard swiping feature, but I have to say I felt spoiled by Gboard when I tried out the iOS 13 kyeboard after updating. What is probably the single best feature of Gboard is the ability to move the cursor horizontally in text, one character at a time, by swiping on the spacebar. This feature alone would make Gboard worth using, even if it weren't better at interpreting my swipes. Its overall quality truly makes anything else frustrating to use by comparison!

Gboard is fantastic! I will never go back to a regular keyboard again. The swiping is very accurate. Even if I miss a letter a little bit, Gboard still knows the word. Also it has learned the way I speak so the predictive text is always right. You can talk-to-type and it always understands what I am trying to say. I have English and Spanish Gboard and it's completely wonderful in both languages. My favorite feature is that you can type a word to find emojis! If I type 'heart' all the heart options appear, which makes it easier than searching through all the Emojis. My only complaint is everytime I update the app, it stops being my main keyboard. I keep having to turn the keyboard on and off in my settings for it to show up again. That is very annoying because I love Gboard and always want it to be the only keyboard I use. Please fix that glitch. But other than that, this app is fantastic!

Gboard is awesome! So many great things all in one place. It's especially handy if you are a gamer or have to read things in other languages, you can quickly translate any message in another language to your own, and type a message and then translate it to respond easily in another language. I really like that it has a search bar too and you can search for gifs or stickers fast and copy and paste them. Super easy to use too! Just download it and then theres a little button by your usual keyboard where you can switch to Gboard keyboard and back to your usual keyboard with one click. Now that I have Gboard I can't imagine not having it because I use it so often and it has so much on it I use. Highly recommend it for everyone weather you like to game or not it's handy anyway but it really is especially useful for gamers!

This is a smooth, efficient keyboard that I can rely on & type there ease. It doesn't have the frills and ♾️ options as some do. It does have customized options to add a personalized theme. I wish there were more detailed options to customize it though. The size, colors & fonts for the keyboard are limited. This limits using most of my photos unless they are faded too light or dark to barely see. The keys need to be easily seen for my bad eyes. More and larger fonts would help. Also, the colors of the letters keys and outer keys would improve if updated with more options, colors and designs. I would love more themes to choose from. A large assortment of different themes including holiday, space, retro, video games, animals, graffiti art, skateboarding, technological themes and more. Thank you and keep this keyboard #1.

I love gboard and would love to use it over apples poor keyboard, but this glitch keeps the keyboard from even popping up on ios 13. Never had these issues before, so I dont know if its on google or apple but this is beyond frustrating. I JUST WANT GBOARD BACK apples keyboard autocorrection is atrocious. Edit: not really sure what I did but simply reinstalled it and gave it full access to keyboards again and it seems to be working again. I think the iOS update may have messed with settings or something, but Gboard seems to be working fine now. It's far better than iOS's standard keyboard, especially the auto correct and not having the awful predictive typing that apple thinks actually works (it doesn't it literally changes words to things that make absolutely NO sense and is infuriating to actually type with)

3 Ups & 3 Downs... Pro: The software is great at detecting what you're trying to type (with the slide to type). It honestly surprises me sometimes. Pro: You're going to be able to type much faster. My wpm have at least doubled. (I might actually go test that) Pro: You will eventually be able to type without looking at the keyboard - quality of life improvement? ✅ Con: I wish the text scrolling was more like a mouse and let you move anywhere instead of being locked onto the line of text. Not a big deal, just requires you to pick your finger up and keep scrolling sometimes (or tap the text). Con: The 'voice input' setting should be disabled by default. This drove me crazy. Crazy enough that it's actually the reason I'm leaving this review. Coming from the Apple keyboard we're all accustomed to holding down the space bar for a second before being able to scroll through the text (and for those of you who didn't know that: Merry Christmas). The Gboard, on the other hand, does not want you to hold it down, your finger better be moving. Before, during, and after. If it senses any sort of holding then you will be immediately redirected to another screen where you're asked to grant mic access. Not exactly the end of the world, but man when you're in the zone stuff like that will just have you dumbfounded. Looking like Aunt Suzie trying to build her Facepage with the kiddies. Personally, I would just swipe impatiently back to keep typing. Lo and behold, if you go into the settings, you can disable 'voice input", and all will be right with the world. Con: You tricked me into writing a review

I love how you can change the theme without paying money and you can even have your favorite image as your keyboard. GIFs are easy to access and the Google search button is quite genius. First, I have the keyboard theme as a very dark image. That comes with the problem of, when you use the Google search, the results come out too dark and I can hardly read them. There's no setting for this, and I'm disappointed because the Google search is a nice feature. Also, when you try to use the :-) feature, because of my dark theme, I can't see any of the buttons. I have my letter color as white but it still doesn't show up. Second, there's something uncomfortable about this keyboard. I think the main problem is that the auto correct doesn't move as smoothly as the iPhone keyboard. Overall this is a really good app.

When voice typing it will get the first sentence and then stop working for the rest of the message. Hopefully this can get fixed.

I've been using this product for close to three years now and I can say I have no complaints. However on the iphone 12 ios 15 the keyboard crashes when you try to access the gifs tab. Other than that though I dont think I can stick to the normal keyboard ever again.

Love this! Like the site to type and the gifs!

Gboard was flashing all the time and glitching out since updating to iOS 11. Deleting the app and reinstalling fixed the issue. I think I may have lost my custom words list though. Seriously good keyboard though, one of the best 3rd-party apps for iOS.

Everything is fantastic, but the emojis are never up to date. Please fix. Thanks!

Merci à l'équipe Google pour avoir rajouté ce clavier, je voulais lancer mon téléphone par la fenêtre tellement le clavier Apple est atroce, aucun bug jusqu'à maintenant et tellement de fonctions utiles, je recommande!!

This app works great. Word predictability and spell check pretty good. Make sure to reboot your tablet before using as three keyboard may not show up in the keyboard list on iMessage or Facebook's message app. Using iPad 9 iOS 15.6

I've been using Gboard for 5+ years now and always tell people it's my favorite (esp compared to Swiftkey). However... it's clear Google does not update this more than security patches anymore. There are multiple emoji releases that are not supported now and they seem to have deprecated the "dot shortcut" feature which I found to be incredibly helpful?

Gboard is finally fixed but it took a long time

It’s a great keyboard

Gboard helps me so much to helps me see my letters . Thank you so much for the app gboard

Update: the latest version seems to have fixed crashing with gif/emoji search Things I like: The way I can switch between languages in mid sentence just by swiping words from multiple languages. The gif and emoji search and access to Google features like translate right from the keyboard. Swiping most words is very accurate, and autocorrect works reasonably well. Things that need work: Swiping words that have double letters sometimes won't write the right word. Sometimes difficult to swipe long words especially if the spelling is not 100% correct, then it won't write the intended word.

Thanks for continuously making updates after silly iOS breaks it 🥰

Overall it's been a great keyboard that I've used for years. After the most recent iOS update the gif search feature has stopped working. I've restarted my phone and reinstalled the keyboard and it remains non functional.

The utility of the keyboard is great, the autocorrect and suggestions work well most of the time. One thing I dislike about the keyboard is that the space bar's touch-zone is maybe too small. Every time I think I'm hitting the top of the spacebar, I'm actually touching the bottom of the "B" key. The keyboard's correction fixes this most of the time, but it is annoying. Another thing is that when using the microphone integration using the spacebar-hold, it almost always has to switch over to the Gboard app before it can activate the microphone. I understand that it's likely a limitation with Apple's keyboard integration, but it is definitely another thing that holds it back. Also, something that I noticed while typing this review is that while using the Gboard, the text box does not automatically scroll to keep the cursor above the keyboard while typing, so that’s another annoyance. I will say, though, that the swipe typing is probably the best I’ve seen as far as text recognition. However, swipe typing keeps it from doing one of the things I like most in the default keyboard, and that is if you hit the wrong key, you can move your finger over to the correct key, and it will register that instead. Overall, it’s decent, but some of the minor issues really do keep me from using it most of the time. Sometimes, convenience is more important than utility.

I've been using this keyboard for about 2 weeks now. I previously used the SwiftKey board and loved it, but it started glitching and I found out that it is no longer available in the app store, so I had to find another one that swipes. I can't stand the Apple keyboard. This one does a good job of swiping but it does as horrible job on common words, like it or the. When I swipe those words it will ALWAYS add an extra letter, like itt instead of it, or put in a word that doesn't go with the sentence, like three instead of the. The predictive text isn't great at predicting what should go next and it doesn't do a good job of learning my speaking style. Another thing that I get tired of is if it misspells a word or puts the wrong word in and I backspace to remove just one letter (like itt) it will delete the entire word, not just letter by letter. Also, it does not put a space after the word so if I want to insert an emoji I have to put a blank space in before I can insert the emoji. The SwiftKey board assumed that if I typed the word Happy that I would follow it with either Birthday or Anniversary, so those words would pop up as predictive text, but this keyboard doesn't do that at all. This keyboard has a lot of potential, it just needs some good updates.

So when I found out Google made a keyboard for my iPhone I was so excited because Apple's keyboard is terrible....but now into my 3rd day after installing it and I'm so irritated with it, I'm to the point of uninstalling! As I am trying to type this review, here and now, my cursor just starts freaking out and trying to keep just zooming back to the very beginning of my message and no matter how many times I try to move the cursor back to where it should be, it just keeps trying to rewind to the beginning like it has a crazy, possessed mind of it's own! It also just randomly adds words, deletes words, and it even started typing one text message COMPLETELY BACKWARDS!!!!! (Not to mention the crazy auto correct nonsense going on--I typed "mind" correctly just now only to have it auto "corrected" to "kind", then "I typed" was changed to "ill tempted" and "not to" (as in not to mention) was changed to motto and mention was changed to MEMTION!!! Come on Google, get it together... We know you can do better than this! My messages and texts, instead of being easier and quicker to be able to type and send, are taking me 3x as long because I'm having to fight it to say what I want it to say and do what I'm trying to do!!! It's HORRIBLE! The idea or the concept is great.... IF YOU WOULD JUST FIX THE BUGS!!!!

Despite these flaws it's still a much better keyboard then the iOS option... but could be so much better. When I press the space bar and hold it to activate voice dictation it rarely works the first time. I have to cancel, go back, and press and hold the space bar again for it to transcribe this means it takes twice as much effort to do one thing. EDIT JULY 2019: Dictation feature still shuts down randomly before I can begin speaking... Like almost immediately after the mic icon appears on screen. Also, if I stop speaking for more than a few seconds, it times out too fast. I don't know about you all, but I do not prepare a transcription of what I am going to say when I am using voice dictation. So having such a quick timeout is not only pointless but frustrating. Why not enable a longer time out so that, say, six seconds of silence can pass before it cancels? Finally, the random capitalization of nouns... I don't know why Google's voice dictation decides to randomly capitalize nouns. It's as if it was programmed by a German or somebody from a similar country were all nouns are capitalized. English nouns don't need to be capitalized in most cases. And while your engineers are at it, they should really use frequency of capitalization to determine whether or not a word should be capitalized.

Ever since I purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max… well seems to be the worst decision I’ve ever ever made should’ve stuck with my iPhone 7 Plus or my Samsung. I’ve had nothing but trouble I pay for Sirion insurance every month Total house her whole house whatever it is and insurance on every device separate each month for iPhones I watch one iPad and to get a replacement iPhone 15 Pro Max with nothing wrong with that no visible problems always had a case in the screen protector but it’s started making this noise like the ocean or a static noise trying to find a radio station back in the old time days before Bluetooth I’ve probably talked to six or seven different. I guess you say Customer Service at a Syon Verizon probably about an hour ago. My phone all of a sudden started making this crazy noise again waking me up my last contact with the Siri. Ryan was this morning when I called them by the way, I was supposed to receive an email within 72 hours three hours then 72 hours. It’s been about five days. Still have no email. Sorry for the typos. I’m talk texting and hopefully you can read between the lines cause I’m not going back. I’ve already wasted enough of my precious time and tired, just give me a landline and a cord.t 🙏🙏🙏😩😩😩😩😭😭😭🥵🥵😳😳😡😡😓😓😓😨😨😨🫠🫠🫠🫠🤔🤔🤔🤢🤢🤢🤢😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤮 I hate to say this about anyone but when you go above and beyond, I think people should know and appreciate that but I have gotten a whole lot of NO customer service Asurion /Verizon here lately and I’m very disappointed and I’ll leave it at that Thanks for nothing Sheryl Graves

I've used this keyboard for about three years and it worked really well for a while, then out of nowhere about four months ago I started having issues with the keyboard freezing so badly that I would have to restart my phone. This eventually passed when the board updated, but whatever fix was implemented to solve the problem clearly didn't agree with my phone, because I've only had more issues since then. Words that I type every day are seemingly no longer saved in its internal dictionary, and will not be suggested no matter how often I continue to type them. Names of friends are no longer recognized, and will "correct" to different spellings of the name. Common words like "character", "remember", and "actually" are being autocorrected to words I've never purposely typed in my life, like "Chara", "renege", and "acetaminophen", even if I type them out letter by letter, and even after I set up text replacement rules in my phone settings to stop this from happening (now the words will correct to the right word when I type or swipe, but then immediately change back to the wrong word when I hit space). The last straw came this week when the keyboard started correcting any word under 5 letters to a different random word ("if" to "re", "and" to "arm", "the" to "art") - I know this isn't just a matter of imprecise swiping on my part because it still happens when I type letter by letter, and the only way to fix it seems to be to exit the app I'm typing in, reopen it, switch back to Gboard (because it won't open as my default keyboard), and then resume typing. At this point I feel like I spend more time fighting with the keyboard than I do communicating with people, so I've had enough and will be switching to a different option. Very disappointing after three years of use.

I've used Gboard for a long time, and I like the swipe keyboard function. I would abandon it now for the regular iPhone keyboard that allows for swiping, but that punctuation key and the Google search and emojis keep me from doing that. A large inconvenience is that there is no longer a simplified, Mandarin Chinese keyboard (which makes no sense at all if there's Taiwanese and Cantonese??), so I have to use the Apple keyboard. And then since the Chinese keyboard is the default for notifications and passwords, I have to use the regular Apple keyboard too. The voice typing is also annoying because it switches to the Gboard app and takes ten seconds to do it, so I never use it. This could be a limitation brought by Apple, but it's annoying. The suggestions on this keyboard and what it detects you typing is also really weird--it really likes to guess words that no one would ever use. The most annoying example is when I try to type "people," it almost always says "Peele" instead, even if I get it to stop suggesting it (that function doesn't seem to work, by the way). And then it likes to randomly capitalize common nouns. I also have to uninstall and reinstall Gboard every once in a while because the app just gets tired, I guess. The letters start spasming as I type after some month(s) using it, and it keeps autocorrecting words with proper spelling and grammar to some other word(s), which is a complaint I'm seeing in a lot of other reviews, and then if you're not fast enough with picking emojis, it'll switch back to the letter keyboard. Gboard is nice because it has a lot of functions, but it lacks some very important ones and I still have to use the provided Apple keyboards. It also seems to progressively get worse and buggier but maybe Apple is just trying to sabotage it.

I've been using Gboard for years now and I've rarely ever had any issues with it. But ever since iPhones iOS 17 update, Gboard doesn't preform correctly like it used to. It doesn't remember my text replacements or auto capitalization. To get those features to work, I have to close out of the text/keyboard and reopen it back up. And once I reopen Gboard, then those two features will work. And I've tried everything I can think of like: deleting the app & re-download it, clear my dictionary, clear local storage, clear the search history, turn auto capitalization & text replacement off & then restart my phone & then turn those two features back on. Nothing seems to fix the issue. Every couple of days Gboard with preform exactly how it's supposed to, but then it'll go right back to not working right like a day later. But due to this issue, I've been having to use the regular iphone keyboard, which is slower than Gboard and doesn't have as many search features. This app just needs a good overdue update, hopefully that will fix the problem.

I've used and loved gboard since it was first available. This latest update, however, has a lot of problems. It seems to be less accurate when swiping (i.e. more mistakes) it almost always insists on double consonants, even when it changes a very common word to a much less common one (in becomes inn, an becomes Ann, etc.) There's also one issue that has always been present, but seems to have gotten worse- it seems to prefer proper nouns like names over even common words. Even unusual names that aren't in my phone contacts. Update: the crashing is fixed. However, for some reason, whenever I glide type a two letter word followed by the word "a," it adds it onto the previous word instead of separating it if the word that adding the "a" to is a name. For example, I want to be a pilot becomes I want to bea pilot. Or "All my eggs are in a basket" becomes "all my eggs are ina basket." What would be FAR more useful would be if it appended a single "s" to the last word if that would pluralize it, because it so often doesn't do that automatically even when you carefully make sure you swipe over the "s."

I text a sentence or paragraph. I proof read it....it's all correct. Then when I press send 98% of the words get changed to words that make no sense, or the get changed to misspelled words. No wonder there are so many grammar errors in everyone's text. It's doing it now...I had to change the word send....it kept changing it to sent. And it keeps changing the word " word" to worry. Please fix this. Update: Are you not concerned at all about your product not working? It's a hot mess of crap you have to go back and fix at least 8 times in one paragraph or sentence because your product changes it. It's your product. Instead of being worried about the bottom line....money , how about a worthy product? I'm getting another texting app like I had before, I never had to change thing. And when it gave me a choice of another word spelled right and I chose it.......it was spelled right....not wrong. Even now the word "was" was changed to would've. Does that make sense? Your one of the biggest tech Giants.....I'm sure you can fix it. And why did it capitalize Giants? I'm not talking about team Giants. I thought it was supposed to predict what you mean. Your app is getting to be a joke.

The Google Gboard has problems. It consistently guesses wrong words far too frequently and it did not appear to be learning as I used it. I had to go back to SwiftKey being that it is only marginally better. One would think that the keyboard on our phones would have more development and be of higher quality but for whatever the reason, it is difficult to find a good one. As examples, why can we not bring up the number keypad (like the one to the right of the qwerty keys on physical keyboards or like the dial pad on desk phones) by choice, instead of depending on the whims of programmers. Or why does the key layout change depending on which app it is being used in? Or why is there not a shortcut to enter today's date using my choice of format? Or more rapid recognition of me typing out my email address? But the worst part is its aggressive guessing of what word I need and how it gets it wrong so often. As I mentioned, SwiftKey is only marginally better but significant enough to ditch Gboard. And, for some crazy reason, the built-in keyboards are like a cruel joke. I'll keep looking but I thought Google would have done better.

Would be amazing if it weren’t for the insufferable bugs. Apple changed the way their keyboards used special characters and I didn’t like it, so I wanted a new keyboard. I’ve already sold my soul and everything to Google (because I do like google products a great deal) so I decided to get this. But wow. First, if you type too fast for more than about 10 seconds, it starts freezing. The letter pop ups stop disappearing and typing becomes slow until it fixes after about 10 more seconds.. and then does it again immediately. You can only fix this by completely restarting the app you’re typing in. Second is more major: for no reason, seemingly random, it’ll cause no keyboard to pop up when you click a text field. Just nothing. No apple keyboard, nothing. Nothing can fix this short of turning the device completely off and back on, taking a minute or two. After trying to live with these bugs for the last half a year, telling myself “they’ll fix it soon!” I finally gave in and deleted the app. I hate apple keyboard, typing this review on it now just feels horrible, and I’m going to look for another keyboard right after. I think bugs that big going unfixed for that long is inexcusable.

Ok, let me be honest here. I've been a big fan and supporter of Google and it's products for a long time, but with this keyboard, I must say that I'm slightly disappointed. There is this bug where after using the keyboard for awhile, it starts to stutter and glitch out. The only solution currently that's working for me is to either delete the app and reinstall, or just turn off full access for the keyboard. I know that this bug has been around for a long time and it still has not been fixed. Even still, I would go out of my way to use this keyboard, but sadly, I think it's time for this to go. Unless the developers do something about this God forsaken bug that has been around for ages, I would not look back at this keyboard again. I think it is a smart move for me explore new keyboards such as swift key or other option. With all this said, I am still a big fan of Google and it's products, but I am hoping for a change with this app, so please read this review and take into consideration of these issues. I am looking forward to a bright future for this app.

The main reason I installed Gboard is because of the terrible quality of Apple‘s iOS voice transcription. Google's voice transcription is vastly better. I almost never have to make a correction with Google voice transcription. With Apple voice transcription I have to fix one to three words out of every sentence. Sadly, however, Gboard on iOS has been extremely unreliable. I don’t know if it is a Gboard issue, or an iOS issue, but Gboard keeps quitting right in the middle of voice transcription. It either tells me "I didn’t get that. Please try again." or it just stops and makes me manually restart it. This happens repeatedly with every attempted Gboard voice transcription in iOS (I am using iOS 14.6). Despite the frustrating voice transcription problems, Gboard does a much better job of identifying and predicting words using the keyboard than the iOS keyboard does, and it includes number keys which makes entering alphanumeric strings much faster. So for the time being, I will continue to use Gboard.

4/2/20 EDIT: dropping to 1 star b/c over the last week gboard has simply been inoperable; lagging/random glitching when switching from text to emoji to the point where i can’t even type a phrase...have loved the app & all the theme customization options & i understand bugs happen but it’s been 1 month+ since any updates so yeah Google if you could just go ahead and make the keyboard functional from now on, that will be great. And uh, i’ll go ahead and make sure you do release the update. Mmmmmmm, Ok? I downloaded GBOARD about a month or so ago and overall I think it's a pretty dope idea by Google and am honestly surprised it took the industry this long to offer something like this. Definitely love the ability to completely customize the theme, and am hoping they add in some more areas of customization in later updates. I have made up a few for the 76ers and my favorite rappers (Kevin Gates, Juice WRLD (RIP 🙏) etc. that had a few friends asking how the hell I did that. The biggest issue I've had w/ gboard is the speech to text function. For me, when I tap the microphone icon I am instantly transferred to the gboard app to the microphone settings page, even though I have already enabled microphone access in both the phones settings and the gboard app settings. So I think this has to be an issue/glitch with the app itself. Also, hope no one has that feature that basicay permits Google to have access to all of your search history and other info enabled, it certainly rubs me the wrong way and think it's absurd that companies can even ask for that in the first place. All in all, the app has some strong potential but also has some kinks to work out if they want to be users' go to option for keyboard alternatives.

The only reason to use this app at all is because Apple refuses to include haptic feedback with their built-in option. The autocorrect almost never catches any words and it constantly adds apostrophes where it shouldn't. The key spacing is inferior on Gboard, which only exacerbates the autocorrect issue; I am constantly pressing "b" or "v" instead of "space" and it Never. Ever. Corrects. It. Not once will it ever fix this typos, so I look up at my message and have to delete it and start over because not only does it not catch this while typing, it also does not recognize the issue when I select that text. Picking the letters out one at a time would be slower than starting over. And the icing that just makes this extra mediocre is that there is no way to set the keyboard background to use the system scheme, so it is always an awkward block of opaque color where Apple's would be a seamlessly integrated and translucent pane. So, yeah. If I did not find keyboards without haptics basically unusable I would not be using Gboard. Hear that Apple? Microsoft? Literally anybody other than HapticKeyboard? Fix this.

Prior to iOS 13, GBoard was the best keyboard out there for iPhone. In fact, it still is in spite of the issues. But, ever since updating to iOS 13 (the version of iOS where Apple introduced their own Swipe to Type keyboard), GBoard has been very problematic. If I type a long email or message on FB Messenger, eventually the keyboard starts lagging to the point of not being usable. I have to save my message or email, restart the app, and then I get some more time before lag returns. Then periodically, once a month or so, it requires a complete delete/restart/reinstall, or the keyboard gets stuck in a "crash and reload" cycle over and over and over again with no cure other than deleting it and having to reconfigure my custom keyboard colors again upon reinstallation. I swear Apple must be sabotaging it now that they have their own Swipe to Type keyboard. But GBoard is so so much better than the native keyboard so I have to deal with the issues. Every update I hope it got resolved, but no such luck.

Take a guess what I might have meant in the next paragraph. I typed this with the gboard and purposely didn't correct the typos so you can see what I mean. I spend so much time fixing this stupid board but I'm spoiled on swiping. (I corrected above. Below is usual results. I am a college professor. I am not illiterate as this might suggest.) I've been using this keyboard for a pretty long time. So long I can't guess. I am spilled on swing and just do it automatically now so if I end up on the native iPhone keyboard I end up with one letter of the word because I automatically stay don't. But this keyboard if Buffy. I wants to hang up on one letter and give you just the first letter or the number behind it. I have tried to press note lightly, more carefully, you name it and it still hands up. It also learns your ring which means that it learns your most common wrong series and keeps putting them up as the most likely thing you meant. It also intuits the strangest words that ai would never use. I is almost always spelled ai. It drives me nuts and wastes time.

Such high discrimination against left handed people. So only Right handed people live in this world?! Come on man... The one handed keyboard shifts to the right and no way option to get it on the left. And the space-bar is waay too small and is built to the right. So lefties like me struggle to type because I keep hitting the emoji icon when I'm typing fast becuz I space with my left thumb. Come on guys please fix this. Lefties are real people too. The keyboard is almost perfect and I love it but please just fix these minor adjustments and y'all would be the best around for sure. Very good keyboard but very annoying. I'm left handed!!! So my suggestion is... Remove the globe icon that switches between keyboards (becuz apple already has that built in by default), and use that bit of real estate to extend the space-bar access to make it easier for left handed people like myself who has the habit of spacing with their left thumb. I rarely write reviews but I really hope someone will see this and make the adjustment. PLEASE!!!

The layout and abilities of Gboard are so superior to the competition. But, as so many other reviewers have pointed out, the predictive text when using the glide entry is TERRIBLE. For example, when gliding my finger from T to H to E to enter the word THE Gboard will frequently enter THREE instead. THE is probably in the top 1% most frequently used words in English. Why would the program logic select THREE over THE, especially when it makes no sense in the context of the other words in the preceding and following it? I have seen other keyboards that will actually go back and change a word it suggested 3 or 4 words earlier in the sentence once the context of the sentence becomes clear. If things like that are possible why can't Google fix this ongoing problem? I believe the problem had to be addressed in some fashion. The frustration levels I'm reaching over having my flow interrupted every 5 to 7 words to backspace out another wrong word have me ready to jump to a competitor.

I love the ability to google search, use speech-to-text, customize the photo on the keyboard.. there are so many things I love but the app just stopped working. The keyboard won’t show up sometimes. Sometimes, when trying to swipe, the keyboard decides to get sticky and sink off the screen. I just uninstalled it. I will be trying Swift key for a little while to see if that works better. Keyboard used to work really well but newest update is bad bad bad. Also, it would be awesome if the app could remember the words I actually use everyday rather than the misspelled version I accidentally typed in one time. Really needs a way to edit dictionary which words are suggested. ALSO! Please suggest emoji replacement as predicted for next word: I love adding emojis that come up in predictive text bar but I want the option to add them AFTER adding the actual word I’m typing. Please update so that I don’t have to type the same word in its entirety to get the emoji to be suggested again. Predictive text needs to be smarter!

I downloaded this app because I communicate with people in Mexico frequently. My Spanish is decent but I could use a little help. When selecting the translation tab, speech to text is not possible. How do you miss this? That’s a feature on web based version of google’s translate and somehow no one thought to add it on the keyboard version? Okay FINE, I guess I’ll type it in. But guess what? Even when you specify the input language as English, there’s no autocorrect whatsoever and you’ll find yourself having to either perfectly type in your text or go back and fix mistakes. To make matters even worse on top of that, you cannot edit your message text with keyboard controls when translator is selected, forcing you to have to click the Google icon tab and then message text. Any time savings this app could’ve afforded you are completely negates by these annoying features

No way to know other than getting into the weeds of Googling it; that was fruitless and crazy making. I’ve experimented but that didn’t help much. I don’t like the “easy” emoji search. I know where all the emoji are, searching is more annoying than a quick scroll over and it’s a pita to get out of. Now there’ll be stickers; will they be any good? The main reason I use this is for the skip forward and back keys- something any normal keyboard should have although SwiftKey hasn't figured that out and Apple decided they know better than their users. (Apple is almost as hostile to their users as Trump is to government, press, anyone who knows the Constitution, law...) At least Gboard exists; as far as I'm concerned, Apple's keyboard is just a burdensome thing I'm forced to used to enter passwords. I still want the option to tuck away the mic more securely if I don’t want to accidentally trigger it since there are long stretches when I know I won’t use it. _______

I loved this app when I first downloaded it. I was using SwiftKey, and once I finally convinced myself to try this one, it had exactly what I wanted that SwiftKey & Apple’s Keyboard didn’t have... HAPTIC FEEDBACK ON KEY PRESS! However, it seems like this app is a little behind with the Apple iOS updates because lately my GBoard has been glitching like crazy. Initially I had no problems & now several times a day I will have to “kill” the app I am using, specifically when I’m typing on the GBoard, because it glitches so bad that all the keys pop up & stay up, blocking all other keys. Maybe consider taking a very close look at the app & updating it to the ABSOLUTE BEST of Google’s ability so that it will work correctly with any iPhone/iOS update. I am going to uninstall GBoard & will not be reinstalling until I see that there were a few updates to this app. I use Google/Google Apps for EVERYTHING, So the soon this is fixed, the happier I’ll be and the more I will recommend it.

The google keyboard is my default when typing. It’s smart and dynamic. However, in the past two weeks the keyboard keeps on crashing and flashing back to the Apple keyboard. Please fix this bug and I’ll update this review with more stars.

Pressing on the Google colored button on the bottom should stop the listening input. Sometimes if music is playing in the background then it will continue to listen for voices, even though I stopped giving the voice input 20 seconds earlier. This is a really annoying future, and there needs to be a way to stop the listening input in case music is playing in the background or something.

This used to be a no-brainer. It made typing and using my phone much easier. But recently the performance of the app has gone through the floor. I can’t type without it switching to some form of default keyboard. I can’t access emojis. I can’t swipe to type. I’m quite disappointed as this used to be one of my favourite apps. I hope this is fixed soon.

The last iPhone update affected Gboard. Now, it crashes every time you search for a gif.

It's been so long now since the new emojis came out. Please update your emoji list!

It was working great, then all of a sudden kept crashing when I tried searching GIFs.

It was working perfectly fine but now the gifs section won't open. It's half the reason why I got the keyboard in the first place.

Emoji / gif button crashes the keyboard on iOS 15.2. Please update!! Great app otherwise

Glitching so much can't even complete a sentence without multiple glitches

Idk if it happens to everyone but it happens to me and my buddy. You'll be using the keyboard and it'll go all grey then switch to the normal keyboard. Also the keyboard will get really buggy and it'll be very slow. You'll type a letter and then it writes it like 2 seconds later. Very annoying. Doesn't always happen but it happens too often. Besides all that the keyboard is great and love the features

Why why why can’t they just copy the pixel keyboard. This one has a big G icon that you can’t remove, gif search is more complicated than even the iOS keyboard, and they still don’t have comma and period on the main board. Such a missed opportunity. 3 years since the last update… good thing this is my last iPhone.

I was using the canto (hk) pinyin back then with this app but unfortunately it’s not available to download right now .

I was so happy at first when I saw Google keyboard. I trusted Google. All I wanted was to find a good Korean keyboard as a Korean learner. But!!! I couldn’t even download the Korean keyboard using this app. I tried deleting and redownloading the app, and restarted my phone. No, just couldn’t. Once the keyboard started downloading, it disappeared after a second. I think Google should have done better than this… very disappointing.

Google needs to update this app to support the new iOS 26 language design. It hasn’t been updated since 2023

I mean it's good, but it's nothing special. But I CANNOT customize the keyboard. For some reason, everytime I click 'choose' it never shows up in my customized collection. Uhh, plz fix??

Hate this small keyboard wupith emoyjii , I AM not a 12 year old girl, i am 68 and do not want emojii any where near my keyboard

I don’t know why Google can’t make this keyboard actually work as it’s suppose too on iOS. It’s insane! It hardly works at all anymore. It’s slow and laggy when you don’t use swipe typing, which shouldn’t be the case for any 2023 app! And now the haptic typing function no longer works at all even when it is on! Worst typing experience I’ve had in nearly a decade!

The Chinese symbols like ！？、are out of the buttons. Please fix it.

Sometimes the keyboard sound would play very loud or it won't play at all. Wish this would get fixed.

Update to the newest emojis that all other keyboards already have. My emoji usage is limited and ill be using different keyboards till it’s updated

After installing may 2 release i was unable to switch symbol by holding“ , ”key under Chinese pinyin 9 key mode

1) Unless you give Google FULL ACCESS to your phone, what you type (including sensitive data), etc., you cannot use all of the functions of the keyboard. The most annoying limitation is the GIF search won't work without FULL ACCESS -- just giving internet access doesn't cut it. 2) The emoji keyboard has MISSING EMOJIS?! Several of my most-used emojis are not included. I like the hug emoji, why uninclude it? 3) The autocorrect is horrendous. Constantly changing correct words to incorrect words (e.g. I had to go back and change the word back to "incorrect" from "incorporated"). It will NOT remember words (perhaps because I refused it FULL ACCESS). 4) It's just painful to try to type with this. I had previously been using MS SwiftKey as my main keyboard but ultimately had far too many issues with it, plus it also requires FULL ACCESS to use. Once again, I'm forced to uninstall a practically useless keyboard app. Unfortunately for me, Google Gboard is significantly worse. Do yourself a favour and do NOT use this app. You'll have less heartache using the default iOS keyboard.

Crashes every time you try to use memes and gifs

Crashes every time I use the Gif button. Been doing that for weeks. I understand it's free but it has Google's name on it, kinda of shabby if you ask me.

Those gifs are not working, do something.

Please update the app immediately its not working properly with new ios update

Started with the new iOS in the fall. Still hasn’t been fixed. I get it’s a free app, but nothings “free” and with Google I’m the product. So you’d think the advertising giant could fix their iOS app so I could get back to using the keyboard and they could get back to monitoring everything I type.

Constant crashes trying to insert emojis and GIFs

Pls give us and update! Can't search gifs and glitches

Liked this app and it worked great but then all of the sudden the gifs option keeps crashing and no longer works. Tried reinstalling, searching fixes, etc.. but it turns out it’s a problem with the app. Not much point of this app without gifs - so I deleted.

The Gif function had stopped working, when selecting it the keyboard crashes immediately, even with full access on and uninstall/reinstall it still won't work. Using latest available iOS version

Gifs broken

This used to be my go to keyboard but since iOS 15 it is very glitchy. gifs are fine, emoji’s require multiple taps of emoji button, predictive test options not always showing up. If this gets repaired I’ll update review but right now I would not recommend this keyboard for iPhone.

Ever since the IOS 15 update the keyboard flashes out when you try to use GIFs! Needs fix!!!!!!! I loved it before! Do better Google!

Emojis crashes! My phone keeps lagging because of the keyboard.

Since the update to 15.2 Gboard crashes when trying to insert GIF
