I wish you had the option for a full keyboard with number keys, also adding swipe would be nice. My favorite feature on this keyboard is the translator.

I love the speech to text, it works pretty great, but the keyboard performance is not the greatest. I type too fast and it keeps putting the incorrect letters in which is bad in a professional environment. The performance should be good because I am on galaxy S7 Edge. I am going to keep the keyboard installed to see if it has any updates though. It has a lot of great features.

Slow when input a pasword, need for more symbol when long press (.) not just a comma. For the left, need for comma buton and comma button long press for mic. And need for numbered row on the top. Suggeat for contact, most typed word, and language support. The interface is great, feel same with keyboard on my wndowsphone, less miss type

If anyone ever rated this keyboard anything less than 5 stars they're probably idiots and you should question any thing they ever said because their jugement must be far off. I've always fantasized about a keyboard with a thesuarus.

May. K. Jul 23, 2016     

I would have given five stars, but I was expecting swift key input (swiping fingers across keys to type). Moreover, for some reason, the enter key could not be used as the "ok" key. For example, while setting a new phone password in settings, I used to press enter key to finalise the password while using google keyboard. But here it seems that enter key doesnt function the same way as it did in google keyboard. For now, we need an update soon for the swift key typing.

The bigger buttons are great, especially if I'm in a screen that doesn't flip. It's there when I need it; like if a keyboard malfunctions on certain sites or I need a late night darker screen. In some apps and webisites, it doesn't leave any typing space shown when horizontal. True - It doesn't have emojis, but I have 2 other keyboards that do. Microsoft's Excel keyboard has many positives, yet buttons are too small; better suited for tabolets. Size change options would be nice for both keyboards.

Okey, It has a long way to go but the idea is amazing and If they continue to make all this funtions work well, then this will be my next default keyboard but for now am sticking with KIKA keyboard. Good luck.

Pretty good start. I like the integrations. It has a lot of useful features but doesn't have the practical features. I like that it locks the numbers especially when I am working on a spreadsheet. A way to get best of both worlds is long press to lock the 123 button and short press to enter one set of numbers or symbol. Swipe text Auto correct when pressing space bar. Cortana integrated voice dictations. I am designing my Android phone around microsoft apps. Pretty good so far.

I have been trying many keyboards which includes the top rated google keyboard and swift keyboard. Both had problems capturing my fast pace. This one had done wonderful job with my pace. Im loving this nd I hope they would come out of the preview version fast.

SIL. F. Z. Aug 1, 2016     

It a good keyboard don't get me wrong. The interface is the best for me, it is simple and yet beautiful BUT it drains my battery so fast. 20% battery usage and it is more than to my 17% screen usage. So now you guys know why I drop this to 2 stars. I might use it in the future if you guys fix it in the future. And oh! I forget it is lack of emojis support and words auto correct. Microsoft fix it chop-chop.

Pat. P. R. Jul 3, 2016     

the text and number both gets mixed. Not good layout. Autocorrect is working fine. But it does not give future predictions like on Swift key board Edit:seen synonymous words and search features nice improvement .but still variable size keyboard are not available.

The idea behind Hub Keyboard which integrates all your essential data & multimedia in a single kaypad is, in one word simply brilliant. The person who conceived of this notion to make your keypad the one stop accessory to your typing needs must be lauded & rewarded. If copied by Google & others could easily revolutionise the typing habits of billions of people and change the way users input content into a system. Added functional customisations, themes & swipe will make it the greatest keyboard ever lived!

Abh. P. S. Dec 19, 2016     

at first it was awesome using this keyboard! its the best keyboard app available on playstore. but still it lacks many features. you guys should add more customisation features and shoul really work on its battery usage and ram usage. we should be able to delete contents from our clipboard to avoid scrolling the whole clipboard to find our copied text. also we should be able to change the keyboard size. if you can add these features this keyboard will be something great. its good and ive used it for sometim

Thia keyboard is missing basic features such as autocorrect and swype. Even the key layout leaves a lot to be desired, with basic punctuation like commas in the numeric toggle or long press. Clicking on a misspelled word does not seem to bring up logical spelling corrections, it stays fixed on the last word in the input stream. No suggestions for contractions (it's, didn't, can't) I had hoped with recent aquisitions, more relevant functionality would be added and obvious shortcomings would be addressed.

Gin. N. Sep 15, 2016     

Nice theme, I like the dark one. And I like the clean layout. but it can be slow and needs to keep up with my typing speed. This keyboard is similar to the GBoard in some respects. If you guys come up with new updates and improvements soon before google introduces Gboard to Android, this keyboard has the potential to become everyone's preferred keyboard. Hurry up guys. Hut hut!!!!

Mel. G. Sep 30, 2016     

It has a few nice ideas like the extensions and the "next" (or tab?) button but it needs more polish and more flexibility. The way it handles extensions is better than other keyboards I've used, the buttons are way better than swiping to get the extension you want. Autocorrect is weak, though.

A. G. u. Dec 20, 2016     

S7 edge phone. The keyboard freezes up and locks down phone so it won't respond to any touch commands or power off by power button. It does not autocorrect, punctuate, or capatalize words. I can't log into my account to see the full experience of the keyboard.

NJ. E. Sep 15, 2016     

A keyboaed withiut a space bar to auto corrwct the likely word is fairky useless. (Switching back to Google keyboard now) So I'll use this only when spelling doesn't matter or I need to paste in a contact or translate something. But a good start on a brilliant idea. Pls bring to Windows 10 Mobile, my daily driver! Support your own company! Play Store clipboard screenshot copy spells "texts" wrong: text is both singular and plural in US English.

Being a company who makes Windows phones, this app is expected first on Windows Phones. This is really shameful.

A. G. u. Oct 5, 2016     

When first released it was bare bones but laid a great foundation that they since have built on to the point there are to many new features to name. I'll say that I like it because it feels accurate and the features are actually very helpful not gimmicky. Please keep reinforcing an already solid foundation and make a great keyboard but I must admit I miss my emojis when texting my kids and while I can live without a slide input feature because it's fairly accurate typing. Why?

Mat. F. Oct 16, 2016     

Text correction isn't automatic. There's no "swype-like" function. Extra spaces are sometimes added after using long-press shortcuts. An obvious lag is present in all aspects of the app.

A. G. u. Nov 2, 2016     

I rated it 5 because I just found that is less consuming in ram so less in battery draining than asus keyboard. hope they improve it with emoji.

Aar. S. Jan 18, 2017     

But I recommend adding emojis and a setting where you can add or delete stuff for the clipboard,different letters by deep pressing the keys. and reducing the deep press delay time.

Anz. A. Dec 16, 2016     

It is good looking ,but when using mic it takes to much time for initializing​ also theme should be added which​ makes the alphabet​ (letters)more dense .Gboard​ is far better it looks solid

Yag. M. Feb 8, 2017     

Sure, this will be one of the best keyboard app very soon. Need to improve in punctuation, sometimes didn't respond properly. waiting for updates.

A. G. u. Jul 1, 2016     

The Windows Phone keyboard was awesome. I'm glad they managed to port it here and not just that, but also enhace it with new features. However, it get 4* because so far it's only available in English.

Kau. s. Nov 7, 2016     

Overall it is a good keyboard but need smileys. It dont have any smilys which is very much needed feature in a keyboard. Hope you will add smilies in future update

Reh. A. F. Sep 24, 2016     

easy to type bunch of features like translator thesaurus clipboard contact inserting while typing but there is a bug like extension icon disappear sometimes please fix it asap... need update

A. G. u. Jul 12, 2016     

The experience of typing is a little laggy. It may be because of the heavy processing that is going on behind the scenes.
