Esperanto keyboard

This keyboard would be a great keyboard if it worked properly. Long-pressing on individual keys to bring up the “pop-up menu of related letters with different accent marks” only works about half the time and is very finnicky. There is also a period key (as in the “.” key) that doesn’t actually work if you press it to insert a period. Now, i know that key is really more or less designed specifically to be long-pressed in order for a user to access its pop-up menu, which contains various special letters that Esperanto regularly uses such as the “ĉ”. But i mean if you’re going to label the main key with a “.” , then it should at the very least allow you to insert a period from the pop-up menu. Instead, that key doesn’t actually work at all when trying to insert a period, and half the time actually causes the keyboard to freeze up and stop working all together (even after switching to a different keyboard and then trying to switch back). However, while this keyboard definitely has its bugs and glitches, overall it does a fairly decent job. It gets 3 stars instead of 2 specifically because of its quality next- word prediction feature as well as allowing for swipe-typing, which really was a nice surprise.

I’m happy that someone made an Esperanto keyboard, but it’s nearly impossible to actually use it. It doesn’t matter if you use the swipe typing feature or if you just try to write normally, it’s going to skip letters and be overall annoying either way. I have to deliberately click each individual letter to write a sentence. I hope it gets improved, because it’s otherwise very cool.

This keyboard is very well laid out and has the basic functions you'd come to expect from any proper keyboard. It's full qwerty layout (common American layout) makes it easy to seamlessly switch between typing English and Esperanto. The added circumflex (^) key is very handy for quick typing, as one only needs to tap it after the appropriate letter in order to apply the circumflex, i.e. c -> ĉ. It is also great for those who dislike using the "x-system" for denoting the circumflex (like me). As necessary as it may be in many other applications, it eliminates the need wholly on iOS. It is light, comfortable (if a little odd to get used to after the default keyboard), and extremely useful when typing Esperanto. Duolingo users take note! The app will switch between your default and this Esperanto keyboard as needed! Ain't it cool?

It’s the only one available for apple but is far from usable for me. It constantly skips letters, it will randomly capitalize the first 3 letters of a sentence if it starts with any keys around the capital keys (the spacing and sensitivity is all off), very much dislike the sudden auto correct with no warning. The point of my review is to plead with the developers to please work on this a little more as I realize there is no other options for apple users. EDIT: after a couple more days I am docking this another star, the keyboard constantly glitches where it becomes large and makes me force quit whatever app I was in. It is also incredibly frustrating to try and use the special ĝ ĉ keys, sometimes taking dozens of tries to get them to work (the whole point of the keyboard is so i can use those right?).

There is no other option out there, that I’ve seen, so I’m really happy to be able to spell properly without using the “x” cheat. However, I wish there were settings to adjust the following: 1) Remove the predictive text and autocorrect features, and 2) Switch to night mode. I have also noticed that tapping the “A” button does not provide a preview / feedback of showing the key was tapped. Overall I’m really glad to have this keyboard. Looking forward to continued improvements. :)
