Could use improvements: ability to set it to vibrate upon pressing keys, numbers aren't accessible in the qwerty keyboard, moving the cursor by pressing and holding on the spacebar. Feedback from the developer is excellent though so I'm confident new features will be added if suggestions are made through the app.

Best T9 option I've found for CAT S22 flip. One thing's been missed in all of the add-on T9 keyboards that I've tried is a feature that was part of old school T9 phones - adding an apostrophe for conjunctions by double-tapping the last letter of a word. For example, "can't" could be typed by hitting "2-2-6-8-8" and the apostrophe would be added automatically. Mentioning this here because the developer seems to be extremely responsive to other suggestions.

I was trying to find a T9 keyboard for my CAT s22. This is the only one compatible app in the store. I am able to type words using the phone's physical keypad. However, I can't even type a period using the 1. The first option is a single quotation mark and pressing it more just adds more of them. I also can't use the D-pad to scroll over to the period. 0 is not mapped to space, and there is no option to change that. Ultimately unusable for my needs. EDIT: 3 stars for response & promise of update

I bought a Cat S22 and the built in Kika Keyboard app for the T9 is not the best. Then I found this app. And with the onscreen keyboard size set to 2 it just shows it's predictions. No extra fluff. I like the addition of keyboard sounds too! This app literally makes this phone properly usable. Fantastic work. If you have a Cat S22, this app is for you. I paid the 2.99. Its a small one time donation for an app that makes life easier. Totally worth it. Thanks you!

No delays, so far i really like the experience. Hoping for more update esp for those who paid. more themes and more functions just like the other qwerty keyboard. Also, how can i enter the text without sending the message? When im use the check it'll automatic send. Please fix this, sometimes im using my phone to a long message. Ps. Im using the modern style.

I sent feedback to you guys in a Google Form. Anyways I repeat it here. Please include an option to turn voice typing on or off, and remove it in the softkey when not needed. I do not use this feature and sometimes press it by accident when I hit backspace softkey. Otherwise I love the Nokia-like multitap experience.

About this app

Who needs the old T9 keyboard do you say? The T9 keypad is still relevant for smartphones with small screens. Typing on a T9 keyboard is fast and more accurate because of the large buttons and 9 simple grids. Long time users of the old T9 keyboard can still type out an SMS with their eyes closed. You can also type with just one hand, can you say that of a full keyboard? People with large fingers will find the Old T9 keyboard, a God send. The large keyboard layout and big buttons on the old keyboard makes typing easy for people with big fingers.

The Old T9 keyboard also features a predictive word suggestions or predictive text, just like on the old feature phones, so typing is fast and takes lesser clicks. The Old keyboard also learns new words that you type and are not part of the original dictionary and provides the word as suggestion the next time you hit the same sequence of keys.

You also get a full fledged emoji keyboard with hundreds of emojis on the Old T9 keyboard.

With the old keyboard, you also get 'Voice input' using the inbuilt voice assistant on the device.

We have also added recently many keyboard themes in the old keyboard so that you can choose a look that suits your device.

The old keyboard features a full fledged symbols layout so that your can type any symbol you want easily.

The old keyboard also features a clipboard paste key, to paste from clipboard with just a key press.

Keyboard for Seniors
=================
The old t9 keyboard, is also a great keyboard for seniors, because with its alphabetical layout instead of QWERTY, it is the easiest keyboard for seniors to learn. Each key holds three characters and hence it is much easier keyboard for seniors to type on. Many seniors, would have used the t9 keyboard before they migrated to a smartphone, so it offers seniors a seamless transition to a smartphone, with the same great 3x4 keyboard seniors typed on before.

Since each key is much wider occupying almost 1/3rd of the screen, it is the best keyboard for seniors to type on with minimal errors. With keyboard resizing in Settings, the height of the keyboard for seniors can be resized to suit each seniors' preferences.

With the clipboard, voice input and emojis thoughtfully placed at the top of the screen for ease of access, it is the best keyboard for seniors.

The keys are big but the fonts are not embarrassingly huge to suggest all seniors are visually impaired and hence it is a more thoughtful layout and keyboard for seniors.

New features

1. For dumbphone users Symbols is also added as another tab in the emoji popup, so that users can easily select symbols using just the DPAD navigation keys.
2. New feature that allows people to import words from the 'personal dictionary' on the device to the app dictionary. We currently don't support adding any words that are added in the section 'All languages' of personal dictionary.
3. New option 'AutoClose Emoji', that closes emoji popup as soon as a emoji is clicked.
