Minuum - The Little Keyboard for Big Fingers: Now with Smart Emoji App Reviews

The new themes are great. Auto correct is the best of all the keyboards that Ive tried. However, I find the full keyboard a tad bit too tall. Docking one star for that inconvenience.

When I first installed this keyboard I was impressed with (a) how great it looks and (b) how sloppily I could type with it still predicting pretty accurately. I thought it was going to be my goto defacto keyboard. After a day of use I have encountered far too many situations where it autochanges my perfectly typed, correctly spelled words into other words (such as changing "spell" into "smell"). Thats simply unacceptable. The swipe-back gesture to delete the previous word is great and makes fixing the words pretty easy, but Im fixing so many words that at the end of the day its taking me far longer than if I used the stock iOS keyboard. The collapsed layout is really cool and unique, but not seeing the standard qwerty layout is a little jarring and hard to get used to, especially when the word prediction and suggestions are not anywhere near 100% accurate. Also there are some situations where the keyboard does not show up properly. In Spotlight Search it sometimes disappears completely and in this very review window it makes the review page disappear. Im not sure if this is a Minuum bug or an iOS8 custom keyboard bug. Either way, it means this keyboard cannot be a direct replacement to the stock iOS one, even when disregarding its other shortcomings. At the end of the day I wont be using this keyboard nor would I recommend it to others.

Keyboard lay out is fine, but too heavy handed on predictive text. Found this unusable and quickly reverted to standard Apple keyboard.

The amazing predictive algorithms are no better than the standard iOS. And despite the vaunted miniature keyboard, I spent the majority of my time in the normal sized mode as it was the only way to deal with autocorrect not recognizing words. It was also just quicker to type on the full keyboard then get close enough on the small one, then go searching for the word in the list of possibilities. The fraction of a second you might save here and there in the future is not worth the many seconds it takes to type a word, search for it on the list of possibilities, realize its not there, delete everything, got to full size mode, retype it, and then correct the autocorrect and tell it that you spelt the word right and to add it to the dictionary. If time is that important on your future message, dont risk it and use the full size keyboard to make sure you can get that message out quick. Thank god its only a $0.99 app, at least I didnt waste a full dollar on it.

This keyboard doesnt even work for me.

You guys have yet to fix the occasional space bug. Have to click space or swipe right twice for a space. Also discovered a shift bug where capitals dont work properly. Cant type combo of letters and numbers (such as postal codes) properly.

The autocorrect only works with the sloppy writing but if you turn that off it looses autocorrect all together. Fix this and it would make it much better.

I got this because I want more screen space available, but I find the minimal layout is too clustered to be useful, and the main keyboard is too big. There should be a 3rd keyboard that is between the 2. Also there is a big bug with all 3rd party keyboards that is an apple issue. Currently when trying to write a review, 3rd party keyboards like this push the screen down past where you can see what youre typing

I bought this on sale for 99 cents and so far I am loving it ! I was looking for a custom keyboard that would allow users to type fast and sloppy (just like the native iOS Apple keyboard) and I think I finally found the one that meets those requirements. All the other custom keyboards I tried are terrible and I really recommend iPhone users on iOS 8 to purchase this keyboard. I am looking forward to better improvements with autocorrect and more themes to choose from ! Also, the mini size keyboard is fun to type on

When typing reviews for the app, I cant see the screen. Its just white. The spacebar is still really slow. When trying to send a new text message, the keyboard doesnt pop up, and you have to switch to a another keyboard in a different app first. Ridiculous.

Best visual design, prediction, auto correct and gestures.

This is by far the best keyboard for iPhone! An easy 5 stars! I have tried at least a dozen alternate keyboards for my iPhone 5 and none compare. Deffinetly worth the .99 cents.

I bought this day one but found Swype to be a better keyboard for me. Noticed they updated and tried it out. Big improvement, it will be my new default for a while.

Really love this keyboard except I would like to see a swipe keyboard integrated to make it the best!

For some reason turning off the "show space bar" in advanced settings doesnt make it go away in regular or mini mode

It doesnt recognize when you have two words mashed together by accidentally hitting a letter instead of spacebar, and the approximations constantly assume new stupid words, GUI looks fantastic but Im really disappointed in this product.

Not much better than the autocorrect; it is annoying in different ways. The keyboard takes awhile to come up, sometimes ignores the space key. Basically anyone typing with either this or the default keyboard has to be really careful either way. I appreciate the effort however needs much more fixing to be the default keyboard.

Ive given this keyboard a week and bit of use, using it exclusively, but its too much of a pain. Sure it looks 10x nicer than the Apple keyboard but the predictive text and auto correct are rarely correct. Also, the keyboard doesnt always show up in Spotlight, and often changes to an inverted colour keyboard.

Their needs to be a swipe option for this autocorrect to work efficiently. Also the backspace button doesnt register most of the time. It just types the L key or the enter key. Very frustrating.

Autocorrect guesses as you type but often ends up being something completely wrong and if you want to erase it you have to erase from the corrected word. Not very time efficient. Also space bar fails to register some times and it just mashes two words together and not realize its two words.
