Type Nine - T9 Keyboard

Purchased this after finding that I really had trouble typing on the stock keyboard....what a game-changer! I loved T9 on my old phones & this is even better & easier to use. Like the retro best & the themes; would like to have more color choices in the retro keyboard. When I had an issue, Rasmus was quick to get back to me. Would be nice to be able to delete "used" emojis & search for "new" ones. Other than the above, it's the best keyboard out there! 😉 Thanks Rasmus! Still loving this keyboard & couldn't type without it. Typing is fast & efficient! Have suggested more colors & themes; still hoping. Would gladly pay a few extra $! 😉 Great to have an update; much appreciated. Have used the app for years & still love it; retro keyboard my fav. However I'm disappointed that you haven't come up with more "unique" colors & themes. I had mentioned this in earlier review. Why not offer a variety of skin option packages for those who want more color/design? Kiwi Color app has kind of what I'm suggesting. I'd like to put a more colorful skins over the retro keyboard. Would be happy to pay extra for such!! Thanks again for the app! 😀

Exactly the keyboard I was looking for on iOS. Everything works as one would expect, word predictions are good, and are easily edited or removed. It's got great little modern touches, like swiping in punctuation or emojis, and the swipe gestures to navigate or delete words. There are just a couple little bumps that, if ironed out, would make this app perfect. First I'd love to see an emoji search; as it stands you have to manually look through the huge list to find the one you want if it's not already on your most-used list. Second it would be great if the punctuation key could be used in making contracted words; currently it's a bit annoying to have situations like "if", "he", and "I'd" all use the same keystrokes. This could solved if contractions required pressing the punctuation key in place of the apostrophe when typing out the word. (I'm probably in the minority on this though, so even just a setting to do so would be great!) All in all, I love this app, and would love to see a just a another update or two to iron out some little things!

I’ve been using Type Nine for 3 years. My original review is below. I’ve been using T9 keyboards a long time. When I first moved to iOS (iPhones), I found it very difficult to use the stock keyboard. I had developed my T9 skills over many years and refused to abandon the best, fastest, and most accurate way to type on a phone. The developer released Type Nine after Apple allowed third party keyboards. The developer has added many features to all aspects of the keyboard over the years. It was great when it was first released and it’s superior now. As far as I know, this is the only viable T9 keyboard for iOS. If you’re new to T9 keyboards, it will take a little time for you to develop your T9 skills. After you do, you will be amazed at how fast and accurate your typing is. Thanks! My original review 3 years ago, right after the keyboard was released: This is the only real T9 keyboard that I'm aware of. It's a great start. It's very usable right now. The support site is not available yet, so I'll post my issues / questions here. (1) I use a Bluetooth keyboard in conjunction with my 6 Plus. Sometimes the T9 keyboard will not disappear when I'm using the Bluetooth keyboard. Is there a method to disable the T9 keyboard temporarily? (2) Since this is such a great start, I assume you are going to be adding features like key spacing and bottom padding to the keyboard. I'd like to be able to move the keyboard up from the very bottom of the screen. Are you planning on adding some of this functionality? THANKS!
