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.
