Reviews: What People Think About EARS Mobile Sensing
Officer Gadget
Rating: 2/5
Like other reviews state, this app will drain your battery super fast. But, for me, the worst part is the keyboard. It does not work like the regular apple keyboard. There is no way to turn off the predictive text, which I truly hate, so it inserts random words into whatever you type. If you want to correct a word that was placed using predictive text (ie: calling to call) if you try to back up it will simply erase everything. The autocorrect feature is completely unpredictable, and the emoji section, where your favorites would normally be, doesn't function in the same way. So those won't be where you need them to be. Lastly, the space bar is also not sensitive enough to catch all spaces, so you will have several run on words, and you can only use is to navigate side to side. You cannot navigate to a line above or below.
I have to use this thing for a year, and I am really unhappy about it.

i have had autocorrect, autocapitalization and predictive text turned off for YEARS. this has led to me overall getting better at spelling. however, i downloaded this app today for a research study, and all of a sudden, all of the aforementioned are back, much to my chagrin. to improve the user experience, i would greatly recommend updating the keyboard—as many other users have also suggested—to sync with device settings. can't even type an em dash with the ears keyboard!!

Because it is constantly running in the background, this app drained my battery in no time flat, especially once it reached 40-50%. I was having to fully charge it once a day, which is unheard of for me. Seriously inconvenient!
