Smart Keys: AI Writing Tools

I rated this app five stars only so that my review would appear at the top and warn others. This app is incredibly deceptive. As soon as you go into settings to enable full access for the keyboard, it requests permissions that are absolutely unacceptable—including access to your credit card information and street address. For a keyboard app, this is not only unnecessary, but deeply concerning. Why on earth would a keyboard need access to such sensitive personal data? I discovered this app while scrolling on Instagram. The ad for “Smart Keys” looked promising, especially since the comments were full of hype and positivity. As someone trying to improve my Korean, I thought it could help me communicate and translate more effectively. But when I saw what kind of access it was demanding, I was both shocked and furious. This is a gross invasion of privacy, and I strongly urge others: ‼️DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP‼️ Extremely disappointed.

I love to express my ideas in English. My native language is Portuguese and find English more straightforward, but it’s not always easy, so I’ve been using Grammarly for years to review grammar and improve my communication, but it’s so cumbersome. I finally found a tool that is as straightforward and easy as I want my communication to be.

Smart Keys on the iPad is a fantastic feature, especially for its proofreading capabilities, as it corrects mistakes right after you type, making the writing process smoother and more accurate. But what really stands out to me are the built-in cut, copy, and paste tools within Smart Keys. These tools are incredibly handy for quickly moving text, duplicating content, or making edits on the fly.
