The best keyboard by far - take the time to learn it

This is BY FAR the best keyboard out there. However, you really have to go through the tutorial and learn how to use the keyboard properly. If you are looking for just a replacement for the ios keyboard, this is not it. This is a “whole new experience” with using and learning a keyboard. But, it is well worth it!! It does have a few quirks because of ios support for third party keyboards. But, its not the fault of the developer or the keyboard. Great keyboard and hope the developer keeps updating this!! A good tip that I do is the following: turn off sounds, turn off force touch, and then goto ios settings and make Nintype your “only” keyboard. This improves the experience for this third party keyboard greatly.

Crashes all the time

Title pretty much sums it up

Genius

The one star reviewers simply did not take the time to learn the nuances of this incredible piece of engineering. The animations are just fantastic as well. 10 stars. Seems to be much more stable now in 6s plus. Sound isn’t working after update though :c

Better than the stock keyboard

This is the best keyboard available. The only issues with it are issues with all third-party keyboards. This is something I hope Apple fixes with the next major iOS update, iOS 10, or iOS X, whatever they decide to go with. Jormi is a great developer, and very active on Reddit with answering peoples questions. I know he is currently working on other apps right now (said something about a game awhile back), but I hope he keeps up with Nintype. It feels pretty stable right now in its current release, but I wouldnt say no to more features!

Awesome with a couple minor flaws.

I can’t type on the normal ios keyboard anymore. Nintype is awesome, and has really changed the way I use my phone. Anytime people see me texting, they ask what app I’m using for the keyboard. Visually awesome, highly customizeable, tons of options. Once you learn the basics, which takes a couple weeks of typing, it’s the best keyboard ever. There are two issues: one is that sometimes the keyboard doesn’t load when tapping a text field. It used to happen way more often but now it’s usually fixed by tapping off the field and then tapping it again. Other issue is the emoji keyboard. The way they are organized is very confusing and not intuitive at all. I can never remember where the emoji that I need are located. Please organize them by the same categories as the existing emoji keyboard! Otherwise this app rocks.

Very high learning curve, even higher reward

The moment I bought this app I expected to be on Cloud 9. Sadly, I hated it because I didn’t take the time to practice at all on it. Thinking I should’ve liked or hated it immediately, I submitted a return request she left it alone thinking it would get approved one day. Months later, I noticed I still had it so I decided to just bear through it. I can’t even use any other keyboard now because of how fast this is. If you can sacrifice speed temporarily for faster speeds in the future, take the leap now!

Awesome keyboard!

I love this app! Best keyboard by far, however, its really annoying when the functionality changes everytime the app is updated.

Only third party keyboard I’ve kept using

Awesome keyboard. Really makes you feel you’re typing like a Ninja. Learning curve, not that awful. Tutorial takes about 5’ to complete, so pay no mind to reviews saying it takes half an hour or more. Multilanguage support is amazing. A lot better than having several iOS keyboards in different languages. So... If everything’s so great why didn’t I give it 5 stars? Well, as most keyboards, it crashes once in a while, though they’ve done a better job than most others and they do keep regular updates.

Best keyboard for 3D Touch or without!

I will never use another keyboard again! The customizable settings for this keyboard is unbelievable, I have never seen anything like it! It fully supports 3D Touch with a couple different options to choose from! I was able to make my own sized keyboard to fit one handed typing for MY hand! Again blown away and wont be converting anytime soon

fantastic!!

This keyboard is a complete game changer... I completely enjoy using this over the stock keyboard, and my typing times are completely faster. I would suggest that you download this keyboard, and stop being cheap... Its completely worth it... Completely!!!!

Best 3rd Party Keyboard!

Best. Third. Party. Keyboard. Ever. and has frequent updates!

Great Keyboard, a few bugs

First of all, this keyboard is wonderful. It’s pretty and it’s fast- just be patient to learn it. There is one bug that drives me crazy, though. Pretty often I’ll be trying to type a simple word and it replaces it with an off-the-wall rare word. Examples: trying to type “from” produces “dolmen” trying to type simple produces “simmen” These weird words come up in every sentence, its a constant issue. It’s really the only thing that holds me back from typing super fast. Where are these random words coming from??

Great app, quick with the bug fixes

I posted a review a few days ago about a bug I was having, and they fixed it right away. A+, nintype team. Once you get to know the app, she will do great things for you.

Best Version Yet

Before the most reason update, Nintype had major potential but seemed unstable and unusable at times. Its features and design made it an awesome keyboard but it was plagued with bugs... At least up until this latest update. I haven’t had it crash in over two days which is unheard for me. Everything else has been hiccup-free too. Awesome job developer. Keep up the great work! - Typed with Nintype.

A Great Keyboard

(Update: Developer shows sincerity in updating Nintype to be the best typing experience possible on a keyboard) Note: Using iPhone 6+ with keyboard After using Swiftkey, Swype, and the iPhone 6+ stock keyboard, I find Nintype to be the better keyboard. Swype is a great keyboard for those that like swiping to type, but you can only use one finger or thumb to swipe the words out. The tap typing experience with Swype leaves more to be desired. Swiftkey has swiping to type capabilities as well, not as refined as Swype, but it’s still a pleasant experience. Swiftkey also has good tap typing which enables the user to have a balanced experience using taps and a swiping gestures. Like Swype though, Swiftkey only allows you to use one finger or thumb to type out words when using swiping gestures. The iPhone stock keyboard has the best tap typing experience, but if you like using swiping gestures to type, you’re out of luck, it doesn’t offer swiping gesture typing. Enter Nintype, a keyboard that fuses swiping and tap typing together in a intuitive way. Unlike Swiftkey and Swype, you can use two thumbs to swipe out a word. Nintype allows you to mix swiping and tap typing in a fluid way that is great and fun. If you can pat your head and rub your belly at the same time, you’ll be able to use Nintype with no problems. Be patient with learning the nuances of Nintype and you’ll be rewarded with the best typing experience that no other keyboard can offer. Matt C.

Love it!

I loved it when it first came out, but couldn’t use it outside the app so I was sad about that. But then I got a iphone again after about a year and I love being able to use it outside the app. It is a beautiful app.

The best keyboard

This is the best keyboard in the App Store by far. So many features.

No contest. It’s the best.

This is the absolute best keyboard I’ve ever used on a mobile device. I’m able to type insanely fast, much faster than I ever thought possible on a phone. There is indeed a learning curve, but if you use the keyboard everyday you’ll get the hang of it very quickly. This keyboard is worth every cent, and I highly recommed it. No other keyboard even comes close to being as efficient and fun to type with.

My favorite so far but with a few flaws...

I love it but I don’t care for the new icons in the menus and the keyboard often doesn’t load. Other keyboards suffer from similar issues but less frequently.

The best keyboard for the iOS hands down

This keyboard is far superior than the rest. But! You need to spend a good amount of time to get use to it and change the way you type. After a couple of days the keyboard has learned the way I type and rarely make any mistakes. The swipe and tap are now a natural feeling and I dont really have to think about it. And the best part? The themes and effect. Beautifully done with loads of customization. While it may be a bit much for some, having this flexibility caters to a lot of people who have different preferences. Two thumbs up and well worth price.
