I like this keyboard so far, but I’ve been checking other keyboards too and the level of customization is incredible. Changing the opacity, the style of letters, the shape, size, etc..., along with a community where you can download themed. That’s something I would like to see in a future update.

Did it get rejected again, 2.1 seems to take forever?

Sorry a newbie here. Can I ask what attaching an AI key such as Claude or Gemini can do for me on this keyboard?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Instead of a comma it is a foward slash. This is on the latest version 2.1

Anyone else have this issue?

I have noticed that when I use it since the last 2 big updates, battery life goes down fast and phone heats up, also swiping ends up lagging behind and skipping words when this happens. Using default keyboard solves the issue so it must be something with efkey.

Using an iPhone 13

Sorry to say this but this feels early. I moved from swiftkey in order to flee from advertisements and forced monetization. Efkey swiping and typing experience is no where near the level of swift key and already focusing on other features? I get the need for some Kind of monetization but the is pushing me towards uninstalling again.

I’ve always used slide to write anyway on standard keyboard. This is app, so far, appears less accurate.

Hello, just a something I am experiencing since the update:

- when you empty the word / sentence you are typing and go back-to the beginning the first letter will not automatically go to a capital letter. You have to delete / go back one more. haven’t experienced before. Also this now, the h in haven’t got small, weird. But this is kinda sporadically. Is there a setting maybe to it with the double delete?

- some keys have some _ lines on the key field bottom, it’s like.the letters t, p, d, g, h, l, c.

- auto correction for german words took a hit? idk, but it feels like simple words get more often broken down in two words or completely different meaning
E.g. motorrad gets made into motto rad. It’s like motorbike, very known word.

Sadly, I am also missing the automatic capitalization for nouns / subject words for german. Grammatically, every german noun / subject is written every time with a big first letter.

Hope this helps to fix some stuff :)

Maybe others can chime in here something the also experienced or in more detail :)

I hope we can get button press animations (not keypress pop ups) and fluid updation in autocorrect. They are already present in some other keyboards and it’s really fun to use. Hope they get added to EFKey someday.

They should give you Nobel prize for solving apple keyboard problem instead of apple 🙂

1 bug that I have noticed is that emoji row is hidden if other than English keyboard is selected.

Can you give us the option to make letters-key a bit wider, especially the second row?

Thanks again! 🙂

Is there any way to use the emoji keyboard iOS provides instead of the one from EFKey? The EFKey one works fine and even has some nice features, but since it doesn’t keep the memory of my most used emojis it’s been a bit harder to use. I also find the style of the keyboard (a rectangular background along the bottom) to be a bit less preferable to me, but this isn’t a huge deal. I’ve been loving the app on my Duo and its let me reclaim some of that vertical space, amazing work and I’m hoping to get pro soon!

In nothing that swot Tuscany makes a kid if eyes.

This was supposed to say "I'm noticing that swipe typically makes a lot of errors". That was the result of my first try.

On other keyboards and even on the default apple keyboard this is not an issue, why is this so bad even after the last update?

Most if not all who tried EFKey agrees that it's awesome and a definite replacement for swiftkey, so maybe it's time if you still has not to get the PRO verison.

Hey! I’m a Pro user! 👋

Disclaimer: I used AI to help write this post because I’m not a native English speaker. My native language is Spanish, and I wanted to make sure I could explain everything clearly. I hope that’s okay! 😅

First of all, thanks for your work on Efkey! I just installed the app, and I’m already loving it. I wanted to report a bug I noticed and suggest a feature that would make my experience even better.

1. Bug report: Toolbar resizing and autocorrect issues

When I open the keyboard in Spotlight, everything looks and works perfectly (Screenshot 1). The toolbar has the correct size and visible borders, and autocorrect works as expected.

However, when I switch to another app, the toolbar sometimes becomes noticeably smaller and loses its borders (Screenshot 2). When this happens, autocorrect also stops working.

This doesn’t happen every time I switch apps, but it does happen occasionally. When it does, I have to go back to Spotlight to get the keyboard to readjust itself. After that, the toolbar looks correct and autocorrect starts working again in other apps.

I’m not sure if this is a known issue, but I wanted to report it in case it helps!

2. Feature request: Custom keys in the clipboard

I’d also love to see an option to add custom keys or buttons to the clipboard, similar to the functionality available in Wordboard.

Honestly, Efkey’s clipboard is already great! I’ve started configuring it with pinned items and folders, and I’m really enjoying it.

The thing is, I’ve been using Wordboard for three years, so I’ve developed a lot of muscle memory around its custom keys. 😅 Being able to recreate that workflow in Efkey would make switching much easier for me. I’d love to avoid the learning curve and having to retrain my muscle memory all over again!

I know both apps can be used together, but I’d much rather have everything integrated into Efkey instead of relying on two separate keyboard apps.

Thanks for your time, and keep up the great work! ❤️

I just downloaded the app and starters the free 7 day trial too!

While I believe the iOS keyboard has gotten better the last 12 months or so, I still hate it.

I’ve tried all the other big name 3rd partytkeyboards but always gone back to the ios one.

One question, in the past when I tried 3rd party keyboards, one big annoyance, and I believe it was apple causing it, a lot of the times the keyboard would automatically? Switch back to the native ios keyboard and j had to switch it back to the 3rd party. Is there a way that won’t happy as easy anymore?

Ok, I always want to support small businesses when possible, this seems like one to try.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to leave a quick review of EFKey. I have been using the keyboard now for over a month straight on my iPhone 14 ProMax on iOS 27.2.

After using the stock keyboard, Gboard, Swiftkey, etc for several years and getting very frustrated with no support, bugs, crashes, no number row, etc I came across this keyboard on the Apple app store and EFKey is absolutely by far the best 3rd party keyboard app out there and is much needed for the iPhone since Apple could care less about updating their stock keyboard as that hasn’t been done in years and it honestly feels like that they have just abandoned it.

This is now my go to default keyboard that I use everyday and I am no longer using Swiftkey anymore since it rarely ever gets updated.

There are so many different custom settings for EFKey that it actually blows my mind and the other keyboard apps don’t even come close to it at all.

For me it just feels so smooth when typing with no bugs or crashes and it never switches back to the apple keyboard randomly (only if I have to enter in a password) which I totally get that.

For only a one-time $8 fee to get the Pro version, that was a no brainer. I think everyone needs to buy it so we can support him to continue to receive on-going updates, improvements, etc.

Please continue to keep up the great work on it and THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hi!

I’ve enabled clipboard history tool, pasted some text in the EFkey settings - Clipboard field previously, then followed the instructions to allow pasting from others app.

Everything is set to "Allow" but the top bar of the keyboard contains an alert, that I need to enable this setting (which is actually enabled already).

Retried multiple times, always the same result - "Allow pasting for clipboard history"

Is this just me or a common bug?

In the Netherlands we don’t have ai. Suggestions are worse than the standard keyboard. It does often not correct spelling. It never corrects two words together, like inthe.

The backspace button should be top right on ipad.

The current layout and button size is inconvenient and too spaced out. A compact layout would be nice on ipad, so not full width. Would improve swiping

As it is now, it's not really workable on ipad for me

Is there a way to paste an image from the clipboard by clicking the link directly above the letters instead of holding down and clicking paste?

I have recently migrated to iPhone and I do not like the iOS keybord and I found out about EFKey 2 days ago. I gave it a try but for me its not working as expected. The shift key for uppercase and lowercase was not behaving as expected.

Expected behaviour is when you hit the shift key it should make the keys uppercase or lowercase or when you double tap the shift key it should make the keys all caps.

Instead, the previous letters or words I typed before hitting the shift key were changing to first capitalize case on hitting the shift key and the second hit makes it all uppercase.

Also, if i was typing continously after some point the whole text box gets cleared automatically. I am not sure if this was intentional by the dev.

This was my experience and i would definitely wish to use the EFKey as my regular keyboard once these bugs are fixed.

Note: The EFKey app was given full keyboard access.

I’m a physician and frequently use a couple of medical apps from my hospital that have PHI (protected health information). I noticed that EFKey won’t launch in these apps (Tigerconnect and Athena), and the globe icon for keyboard switching doesn’t appear either.

Is there any work around for this or am I SOL? I’m loving EFKey so far but having my keyboard change back and forth depending on which app I’m using isn’t tenable.

The space aove the Toolbar is kinda buggy. Sometimes its a just minimal and sometimes it’s bigger. Need to be fixed

I’ve been trying out the new 2.3 for a few minutes. Good improvements so far! I am so close to going pro.

Recently there was a post by someone from the EFKey team posting a how-to guide on how to make the EFKey look and feel like the native iOS keyboard. That was really nice. Is there a way to make the number pad look and feel like the iOS native one as well? I like the size and phone-like number pad information on the native version. Is there a way to do it for the number pad as well?
