Using this app has been smooth sailing, but I noticed that there aren’t yet symbols for the voiceless/voiced alveolo-palatal sibilant fricatives and the like. You might also consider adding the non-standard stød diacritic for broad Danish transcription. Also, I think it’d be great to implement a push-and-hold feature for high-frequency diacritics. For example, you could press and hold down a vowel in the app to add a nasal diacritic, a consonant to add an aspiration diacritic, and so on. It’d make some of the diacritical symbols on the right side redundant, but it’d also reduce scrolling time. Though I can’t speak to how difficult implementing such a change would be.
I primarily use this for conlanging but it's great for lots of things. Super intuitive layout, super functional, etc. I have a suggestion though that would make it even better: since I imagine most of us use this app to transcribe mostly one language (at least at a time), be it real or a conlang, It would be nice if you could choose a subset of the characters to appear on a normal sized keyboard, for typing languages, since its unfortunately pretty slow to scroll thru all the characters you don't use for the few you do (which is definitely the only real way to make a keyboard w all the ipa on it and the best choice). If u could add a few options (for people working on a few langs at once) that would be sick too. Not sure how easy or possible that would b to implement but hope something can happen with it :)
I love the layout and flexibility this has, I make conlangs and this allows me to do a lot of fun stuff on the go, and it accomodates a lot of characters and diacritics I haven’t had easy access to before. The one issue I have with it is no return key. I’ve looked and maybe I’ve missed something, but this makes the keyboard incredibly inconvenient for me. I have to switch layouts just to go to another line or type a ton of spaces. The addition of a return key would make this review five stars and I’d love this board forever. If this doesn’t bother you, then this is the IPA board you’re looking for.
