Big Keys Keyboard Positive Reviews
CapitalizationGot it yesterday really just for enlarged keys. but is there a way to make the word I capitalize while typing? and first word of sentence? will it get smarter about what word I'm using?
Love the large keyboard which is why i bought it but very inconsistant with capitalization. I try a capital letter in the middle of the sentence . All is the a Way to save emojis i us a Lot without having to scroll through all? Also I've seen keyboard in the pictures that hair a 1 and 2 in lower right keyboard. Can i Get this keyboard option?.Kay@mathewsVersion: 1.9.3
Version 1.8.1 was unusableUPDATE: I downloaded 1.8.2 (which was apparently made available shortly after originally posting this review), and it appears to have fixed my problem - or maybe it was some strange glitch which I can no longer duplicate. I didn't keep a copy of 1.8.1, so I can't say for sure either way. UNEDITED ORIGINAL REVIEW FOLLOWS; PLEASE IGNORE. This was a very nice alternative keyboard, but the latest update has the keyboard panel showing up as totally blank. Luckily, tapping the blank space two or three times makes the device revert to the default keyboard, so it doesn't totally gum up the works, but I've had to revert to the older version to get this working again..SoubeagiVersion: 1.8.2
Needs Layout And Design ImprovementThis app has a lot of potential, but there are a few simple things that could drastically improve it.
- The modifier and layer keys should either have a different bg color, or a different border color than the rest of the keys (related to the point above.
- The emoji section should include a backspace key (an “x”) so that people can quickly erase a wrongly chosen emoji.
*If these changes are made, I’ll give this 5 stars.
EDIT: I see now that one of the options was available in settings..AbcjmeVersion: 1.6.3
Best large keyboard by farBy far this is the best large keyboard. my only wish is that thw responsivness were a little better with the button presses and there were a black on white keyboard. also the auto cap button always stays on with the first texted letter which i dont like even when the auto cap option is off. other thsan that this is an amazing app for people like me with low vision.Commander A.ShepardVersion: 1.5
Big keys keyboard ReviewI love the app alot it helps me see my keyboard way than before . the only problem i have with it though is I wish it was a way you could remove the Character pop -ups on the keys , because sometimes that causes me to still have minor typos thinking i pressed one key when i actually pressed another. if that could be fixed it would help me out alot thank you..Tyree Walker 23Version: 1.9.3
Finally a big keyboard that worksEasy to type. Easy to see. Responsive. Also doesn't have the useless app clutter of the stock keyboard . Well worth $4.
Auto correct is not as robust as stock, Gboard and swift key But for me that's not a deal killer. I appreciate having the bigger keys..M$360Version: 1.9.3
Very helpful app!Whether you have big thumbs or low vision, this app will be extremely helpful.
All of the color combinations, text, and key sizes are appropriately designed for usability. The app is simple to use. The emoji’s are a bonus! I never used emojis until this app because they were too small.
Any quirks I notice, the developers are quick to react to my emails. I have communicated several times and have always received a prompt response. This is extremely rare.
Thanks again Hassan! This app makes my situation more tolerable. Keep up the great work!.A. HawkbirdVersion: 1.8.6
Best keyboard for the visually impaired or blind communityLove this keyboard, it work's good with voiceover And you can use Apple Pay and all the other apps like if you were on the Standard . I definitely recommend worth the three dollars and then some..Onica03Version: 1.9.3
First time using the Big Keys keyboardI was hoping for to have it free on Big Keys keyboard, and they should at least have it for free without using a subscription lowered, we can customize the keyboard.Sampanda0108Version: 2.0
Thank youI have a genetic I disease known as retinitis pigmentosa and my vision is very low. This application is awesome and works well with other iOS applications. Thank you and keep up the great work. I can’t wait to see what you develop next..MoiréVersion: 1.5.1
BE YOUNG AGAINThree Questions-
Are you over 40 ?
At the gym, do you hate wearing your readers in front of a bunch of guys younger than your favorite pair of boots ?
Still at gym, do you wanna annoy your wife because you no longer wear your readers in front of all those lovely gym-jigglers, who think your beat-up boots are sexy ?
These three questions are the answer to your question- Should I plunk down 4 bucks for this App ?

Now works great on smaller iPhone 5sDeveloper was very quick in releasing update that corrected an issue using the keyboard in landscape mode on older iphone 5s. Quick responses to email inquiries as well..MattS579Version: 1.8.3
Bigger letters - keys the same sizeI was looking for something that would help my big hands. really Only solution is to use in landscape or get a bigger device.
i wish it were more configurable.. The extra emojis are not a benefit..D cardoVersion: 1.8.9

Big KeysWhy are the keys not enclosed and blocked out like the iPhone? It is still possible to hit a key erroneously. They would work better if separated as individual keys and not just a bunch of large letters..Lorenzo1950Version: 1.9.2

Big Keys Keyboard Negative Reviews
Waste of the moneySo far I'm unimpressed and have only had the app an hour. It isn't correcting/adding grammar at all - so when I want to type "I'm" it doesn't add an apostrophe and auto corrects it to "in" instead. Doesn't automatically capitalize the letter at the beginning of a sentence either. Also, keyboard lag. Lastly, even if I make a very minor spelling error on a common word it completely changes my word to something ridiculous and out of this world. It's taking me 100x as long to type something up because I have to go back through and correct 99% of what I typed, PLUS I have to type slow because of the lag, lol. (I also just noticed that this app is REMOVING my grammar (i.e I just used a capital "I" and it corrected it to a lowercase "i".))
What a waste of money behind such a good concept..Loki of AsgardVersion: 1.8.3
Closing settings pageI have the same issue as the reviewr before mine. Also it lags while typing, the back key is the worst. I switched back to my regular keyboard to write this because it seriously took me about 3 minutes to write. As you can see, the word “reviewer” is misspelled but I just couldn’t wait that long for the back key to do it’s function. I counted the last delay at 13 seconds for the back key. I want my money back! As it is right now, it’s not useful as I can’t type that slow. Also, the keys are only useful with a long press. Please refund purchase cost. (When you are using the settings page, the settings “page” won’t go away!.Lynnrip70Version: 1.5.4
I wanted to like it but...I wanted to like it but the response speed is just not there yet for fluent quick typing. I took a chance and paid money in hopes that it was so good that there was a reason why there is not a “free lite” version available to *try* first. Had there been a free version to try first i would have had a fair chance to know if it was good enough for me to purchase. I would NOT have purchased it. I am removing it from my phone and would respectfully ask to be refunded immediately. Hopefully the development of this app eventually improves. Good luck!.AtroaVersion: 1.8.9
Works "ok" but laggy and no spell check kill itI bought it hoping for much more and would like a refund please. On iPhone 8 this app is laggy and slow at times but the absolute deal breaker is no spell check or predictive text. It’s April of 2018 and developer mentioned in Nov 2017 review (and maybe before) that spell check would be added “soon”. Still waiting. Having to switch to IOS default keyboard to spell check is ridiculous.
Sorry but this app does not need more color schemes. It needs basic Smartphone era functionality that is missing so far..Christopher__BrownVersion: 1.6.4
Not working! 😟I purchased app although it had some bad reviews. I should of went with my gut, but I wanted to give it a chance. I went to settings and keyboard to apply it as my keyboard selection after purchasing it and I see it listed there under "keyboard" but I can't even click on it to apply it. It doesn't have an arrow to allow me to apply it like my other keyboards do. That is very fustrating. I powered my phone off a couple of times thinking maybe it's my phone but to no avail. I would like a refund please. I can't even use the app if I wanted it to..J. CastVersion: 1.8.9
Not workingI have a new iPhone XR IOS 12.1. I set the font size in Big Keys and the old keyboard appears. It seems that if a keyboard would appear it would show the new larger fonts. There is no “Done” link or any visible cue to apply the changes. There is no user guide to explain anything. Thee are no instructions other than to add another keyboard in settings. Do I engage Big Keys within Settings, or is there some other way? Is the Big Keys keyboard supposed to replace the keyboard in any app? How do I select which apps not to use Big Keys? Where do I find the answers to my questions above?.SmashtaculsrVersion: 1.8.7
Warning about Big Key's developer accessAlthough I think this is a useful tool (with some flaws in their design) please be cautioned about the developer's access to your information.
I will NOT be using this app and will be requesting a refund. I suggest that everyone reads the full warning about third party keyboards.
This is from the iPhone's warning about third party keyboards:
"Third Party Keyboards provide an alternative way to input keyboard data. These keyboards can access all of the data you type, including bank account and credit card numbers, street addresses, as well as other personal and sensitive information. These keyboards may also access nearby text or data, which is useful for improving autocorrect functionality.".JSTNBRTLTTVersion: 1.9.3
I want my money backI got this app to try and increase the speed of my typing. But the speed and ease of my typing went way down. The letters are not responsive and when you do type fast, it can’t keep up. The options are nice, I hate having emojis on the standard keyboard, but having the comma on another page is annoying on the standard keyboard, but this app has it on a drop box that takes more time to open. I am very disappointed with this app..Lil bear loves picklesVersion: 1.8.8
I don't use it.1. The keys are too big. I cannot make them a little bit smaller so it takes up a little bit less screen space.
2. I wish the keyboard would change to lowercase when I am typing. I like seeing uppercase when I start typing a fresh sentence. Lowercase letters are actually easier to see.
3. I like that the keyboard uses the full width of the screen.
4. Wish I could get a refund..E.W.4Version: 1.8.9
This app is unusable slow and not much help in portrait modeI had great hopes for this app since the standard keyboard is constantly getting what I type wrong. The app is not usable on my iPhone 7, however because 1) it is too slow and causes significant typing lag, and 2) it does not make the keys much larger in portrait mode. Typing in landscape mode was never the issue for me..Charlie the HikerVersion: 1.8.7
GlitchyI have big thumbs and after seeing the 3.8 review on this app I decided to get it. The color schemes threw me off, I just wanted plain as the default iPhone keyboard. Sometimes the keys were unresponsive and I misspelled words more than I did with the tiny default keyboard. It was an ok concept but not worth what I paid for..IamNandoVersion: 1.8.9
I was hoping, but noAs another reviewer pointed out, there is no spellcheck or autocorrect, it nearly makes the keyboard useless. ive had to correct this review over 10 times while using this keyboard after only 30 words. Keep working developer, its a Great idea, and much needed tool, but its not there yet..Corby76Version: 1.5
Changed Price From $3.99 to $79!I purchased this app for my iPhone last year for $3.99 and just tried to download it for my iPad and they wanted to charge me $79! Just another case of a vendor ripping off the disabled, who are expected to pay big bucks for tools that we need to live a normal life. Shame on you!.Tim Molloy1Version: 2.1.0
Not worth the money!Needed large keys to improve typing error, but this needs a lot of work before charging 4$. So many mistakes just trying to type simple sentences. So frustrating especially since I paid money to avoid exactly that.
Please refund me and good luck with improving the app.
Is it so hard to just get this right? Must be..TypotypotupoVersion: 1.8.9
Repeated issues over time. Had to delete this appContinuous problems with this app with iOS. Interferes with regular keyboard when app is not in use by placing a blank blue screen over keyboard. This is removed when you tap on the screen but is very annoying. Could not fix with reboot, so I had to delete the app. I recommend skipping this one..DturczynVersion: 1.8.2
DisappointedI was do excited to find an actual big keyboard but the fact that the letters are and remain capitalized by default makes it difficult and confusing to use and it seems to be a tad bit slower : (.MrsSC101Version: 1.9.2
Privacy IssueApp description states they don’t collect info you type with their keyboard and it is safe. HOWEVER When added to Iphone keyboards list, it is noted that fully enabled they CAN COLLECT EVERYTHING typed with the keyboard including credit card numbers, siri searches, etc. Misleading so I don’t trust and won’t use. Want a refund..Dragons girlVersion: 1.8.9
Edit I want a refund... but of course there’s no info on how to do that. Don’t hard to read (esp space bar), Capitalization and lower case are mixed up and jumbled up no matter what settings you select, and I made more typos with these keys than with Apple Text. Went back to that within 5 minutes..Acce21Version: 1.8.9
NO cigar!!!!I’m an old lady looking for a large keyed keyboard to take my troubles away. Well....after having this sucker for many moons, this ain’t it.....at all. I spent more time correcting all of this app’s eccentricities than it took me to correct all of the flubs I made because I couldn’t see the keys well.
Good try, but seriously not even close to a cigar!.DotagedVersion: 1.8.9
So much better before the latest update!This app was so much better before the update that removed emojis and hid them behind a subscription pay wall after I already paid for the app!!! Looking for an alternative!.ZombiesplattererVersion: 2.0
It's ComicalIt's been 7 years since the owner of this app sent out tweets, its been a year since this app was updated. The owner will not answer the simplest of questions.
