Type Nine - T9 Keyboard App Reviews

84 add

A little quirky at times, but still great!

This is by far the best T9 keyboard for the iPhone! It does at times make my messaging app crash and thats the only reason why I didnt give it 5 stars. Once they fix that, it will be perfect!

I dont like auto-complete feature.

Can you tell me how to disable auto-complete feature?. Thanks.

iOS 8.3

After updating my iPhone to iOS 8.3, the 1 key isnt working, so I cant use punctuation.

Love how customizable this keyboard is!

Keep up the great work.

Fantastic work!

I love typing with T9! I have missed it for I long time. I also appreciate you taking the time to continue improving and updating the app!

I can stop throwing my phone!

This is the greatest app, ever! I get so frustrated with texting on that tiny keyboard even with that Swift key app. Thank you for this!

I love it except... UPDATED

Every time I want to text I (or i,) it thinks that I really mean G. I can assure you, I dont. It would be nice if somehow you can fix that so that Im not having to change that every single time. Its a bit annoying. Also, Im not sure why it was worth $2. I know I payed that, but I wrestled with the idea for a couple months. I can understand Maybe $1, but $2 was a little overkill. Otherwise its a pretty solid app. Im just trying to adjust to it because the t9 I used to use was different. But Im still really enjoying it. **********UPDATE********* Apparently the app will only work for Maybe a week before the keyboard stops showing up in any app. Seriously? I payed $2 to use this app for 5 days? UNACCEPTABLE!! I shouldnt have to delete and re-download this app to be able to use it. This better get fixed quick.

Read the instructions!

When I was considering this app for t9 input, I was turned off by all the people saying that they were having trouble getting it to work, which made me nervous. But after using the app and getting used to it I noticed some things bothering me similar to other reviews. The key to fixing this is to read the instructions present when you launch the icon on your home screen. Everything there was addressed for me. Thanks for putting this out there and with such quality and ability to customize!

Incredibly easy, and very small learning curve

Thats one of the best keyboards Ive experienced on a smartphone. I just hope they find an easy way to write accents for latin languages

Love the keyboard! Love it!

I was always a fan of this keyboard and can still type as fast as a qwerty on it! Good work! Zero lag, love the cursor move feature, faster than the built in hold feature! This app is polished and worth every penny. I only have one suggestion- and only one, the rest is perfect- make it so the space bar command can be assigned to any of the three keys at the bottom! A lot of the phones that had t9 keyboards had the space function assigned to different bottom numbers. Mine old phone for instance the space was the bottom left- make the bottom commands switchable and this would be brilliant!

Not bad but lacking

Agree with other reviewers, needs a way to add words into a dictionary, an easier way to use Numbers, and a setting so that we can put the backspace on the right(left) side. Great app, appreciate your effort filling the void in T9 options on iOS

Awesome!

I love this keyboard. I see so many complaints about backspace being on the wrong side. But if you read the tutorial it tells you how to switch. Swipe left from the enter button and it will swap the buttons.

Love this!

Love this keyboard. I was really hesitant about getting a third party keyboard, but this is great! My favorite part is that it can be resized to be a one handed keyboard, which is great for this big + and my small hands. FYI the reviewer that complained about switching the enter key... That is a setting. Swipe left or right on the enter key to move it to the other side. Also, to add a word to the dictionary, just manually type the word once and the keyboard wil remember it for next time Great simple design too!

Some short comings

The keyboard is great and reminds me of when I used to have an old flip phone. However, lately when I try to switch to the keyboard it won’t even open. I would like to see this problem fixed so I can continue using the app

Plz add farsi

I got this app but it doesnt have my language.Plz add farsi language.Thank you

Goodbye QWERTY, hello T9!

Im not sure why we ever decided to do away with T9 type keyboards. Theyre so much quicker and more efficient on mobile devices! The app works great. I have a few small suggestions for the developer that would make it even more outstanding, but overall it works as advertised.

Almost Perfect

Im writing this review with the keyboard and I absolutely love it. Ive been waiting forever for a t9 option that actualy works and after going through so many half baked apps I can say that this exceeded expectations. Having normal keyboard functionality ported over and adding on top of it makes this a really smooth experience. I can use familiar gestures like the stock keyboard such as double tap space for a period or press and hold for other options and its quick to respond. Its also really smart because if you accidentally choose the wrong suggested word it keeps the suggestion tray open after you select and if you choose a different word after your mistake it will recognize that you are still editing the previous word. Overall its a really nice experiance that keeps it familiar with traditional t9 while adding a new little twist. Just a few suggestions....... Im used to having the space key on the # key instead of 0 so it would be nice to be able to move it anywhere the user wants along the bottom row. Also sometimes when you switch apps or youre pulling it up for the first time in a while its a little laggy and hiccups for a good five seconds before correcting itself. Another more important thing is that while I can type quickly with this keyboard, the tap reaction animations on the keys themselves last entirely too long so it causes small delays which prevent me from going really fast and its really apparent when using two hands, so I suspect that there might need to be some multi touch adjustments as well for the more seasoned t9 users. If this board doesnt support or utilize multi touch, which would be surprising because of how good it already is, I would highly suggest applying it because it would make everything faster. Thank you for making this app! I really hope you keep improving it.

Cant memorize new words, no caps lock key,

I just switched to iphone. Dont mind paying for this app. I love that I can do this with one hand, but! There is no capitalization button. When you start a sentence it automatically does it, good, but I would like to use caps on all letters. (like right now to emphasize my point).You gotta use the iPhone other key board. When doing manual becuse (I like to use acronyms) it doesnt retain or memorize what I typed in the past using the exact Keys, wont even show up on suggestions bar. Please fix!

Perfect

Just installed this and love it.. Really great for the price

Best keyboard

No more fat fingering! I use double tap. There is literally no desirable feature missing from this app! If youre having an issue, just run the app and go through the tutorial or message the developer. He is very attentive. Ok there is on feature I would like added--voice typing. And yes, I typed this review with the keyboard!
