I created a custom English Alphabet and short of coding a virtual keyboard from scratch, this is the best solution I could find, if not the ONLY! I would like to suggest a couple of changes. 1. The ability to turn off the Auto-Caps activation upon Start-Up. 2. The ability to copy keyboard layouts from the default to a new personal custom layout. This is to avoid starting from scratch when creating a new layout.

The upgrade is awful! This app use to be great but since the upgrade you you can't build custom keyboards many of the letters show as question marks in text and the app lags upon opening it. I have used it as my default keyboard but will now have to uninstall it until a new upgrade comes along. It has not gotten better with the improvements but worst.

Works good and allows a lot of functions to the keyboard on Samsung S20 phones. Customized keyboard size style and color .It could use additional symbol selections or add additional symbols from a download option as improvements. I'm not certain if it operates just on the current control set that the phone provides or if the customization of symbols is possible. Doesn't have those annoying advertisements, and best of all, it's free.

Good app. I have a phone with a physical keyboard, so this app is useful to choose only symbols that are not on the physical keyboard. But it still needs improvement. How do I delete a keyboard layout? Can I remove the space and backspace? Also, the latest buttons K1 K2 etc to select different layouts are too big and take a lot of space! Make an option to hide them! Thanks and keep up the good work :)

This app was worthy, but due to recent updates now it became useless. I crashes every time. We can't make any keyboard.

It's literally perfect! But when I try to use the Keyboard it lags so much. Also It constantly crashes(The app and the keyboard). One last problem is the Keyboard height(Make it adjustable) Also if i try to use to Keyboard's keys it doesn't really work. I have to tap a couple times to type a letter... Please fix this problems. It could've been a 5 star...
