Still working
I hope this continues to hold the developer’s attention and keeps working. Several people have asked me for the link over the years I’ve used it.
United StatesJust be aware that this an App itself and not the App you opened
When I opened my calculator App a screen appeared to install the special character keyboard. I followed the directions and could not see how to get back to the calculator screen. You just close the special keyboard app and reopen the calculator app.
United StatesGreat App
Just what I was looking for. Read some of the complaints, and they are without merit. Played around with the keyboard app and found out how to do a lot of things. For instance, you can place an empty button in your favorites to use as a space. Place it in front of your other favorites to always have it handy. To make an empty button, tap on favorites star on left, tap on plus sign on right, tap on the right pointing “arrow” next to dialog box that comes up, then tap on the checkmark. To place it in the front of other favorites, tap on delete symbol, then tap and HOLD on empty button, and move to beginning of favorites. Piece of cake!
United StatesLove it please update for iOS 12
Great keyboard. Sadly not working on my new iPhone Xs
United StatesIt’s okay...
I got this app because I am a college student in the sciences and use my ipad to take notes and do homework. If I’m taking notes via the attached keyboard, I’d like to quickly be able to have access to the Greek alphabet or mathematical symbols but everything in the app is very disorganized and I literally have to detach the keyboard to have access to the symbols, because the on screen keyboard doesn’t automatically pop up like it does with emojis or any other keyboard. I probably won’t be using this app very much.
United StatesDoesn't Work!
Followed the very limited instructions to add the special characters keyboard in settings. Then...nothing. Supposedly you can get the special characters by pressing the globe button on your keyboard. Hmmm and where would that be. Not on my keyboard. Waste of a buck!
United StatesConfusing
Might be a waste of money, because when I open the app it says to add "special chars" to key board so I did that and went back into the app and said the same thing. I don't know what to do or how to get the app started
