I‘m transitioning to an iPad Pro + smart keyboard, and this app has generally been working well. Three improvements would earn it five stars from me: 1) addition of a semicolon (for punctuating questions) 2) addition of a raised dot (for punctuating statements) 3) synchronize the app keyboard with the folio keyboard (currently I type the letters on my smart keyboard folio and tap the accents from the onscreen keyboard; but they do not match up as far as punctuation is concerned). Apologies if these features are there and I am missing something - please respond, if so!

For some reason on ipad, Apple does not let you switch between this keyboard and your other keyboards by using the magic keyboard shortcuts. So, control+space does not switch they keyboard. The only way to switch the keyboard is to actually pull it up on screen (which slows you down significantly) and then hit the button on the screen. Then it is impossible, from that menu, to remove the onscreen keyboard until you switch back to your primary keyboard. This is just very frustrating when you are used to the seamless transition between Apple’s own keyboards. You can also switch the keyboard by going into the keyboard settings but this takes even longer than the above approach. All in all, this keyboard does work, but, for me, did nothing to help me, despite spending 5 bucks on it.

Of all the Polytonic Greek apps I’ve tried, this is the best. Hoplite sometimes doesn’t register keys, ipolytonic glitches out on certain apps. There is another paid app that I’ve not yet tried, and don’t think I will, because I am happy with this one. The only thing I could think of that would improve it would be adding the ability to slide the cursor with the spacebar or equivalent. Sometimes I mistype an accent, and going back is trickier without that feature.
