KALQ Keyboard (Official) Beta

I have downloaded it twice. Each time it downloads and completes. Then it installs. However I can not find an icon anywhere on my phone. I can only find it if I search Google play for it again. Or if I go to my downloaded apps and games. I can't even find it listed when I try to change my default keyboard to it. It is most likely some spyware or adware. Don't waste your time..

Combined with SwiftKey's predictions it could be really great. Does need pound and euro symbols, though.

I only wish that Apple would start using KALQ.

I wish the DEL and Return buttons weren't right next to each other. That makes editing a pain. Auto-correction hasn't yet been released, but I can see that leading to a few problems. Obviously I don't have the data to generalize for everyone, but it's certainly a problem for me. Are two shift keys really necessary? I'd like a period easily available for a small screen. Otherwise, great job. I'm excited to see what happens with the next updates.

It is easy to use and faster once you learn where all of the letters are. Some improvements could still be made, because it is still just a beta, such as adding autocorrect and having easier access to the symbols when using the horizontal screen. Overall it is awesome!!

Great for English and delivers as promised, but for needs ä and ö for Finnish inputs. This slows typing too much. Otherwise 5/5

Please update the app it's been 3 years please give us a update or the stable version and please if you can add material design,thank you for making this app.

Shows great promise. Unfortunately, I cannot use it to write in my native tongue, maybe it'll change one day.

It is not working in my phone. Sony Experia E1.

The moving of the space bar is a pretty good idea, but I still have to swap to get to the period and comma...

Amazing

Needs work

I think the shape is good but I didn't find the layout comfortable shouldn't the most used letters be on the outside under the thumbs? The unevenness of the keys was jarring. To me.

I genuinely liked the app, but it's still in beta and I'd like to see a lot more work put into it. I used it for a day, but I love SwiftKey & I had to go back. I use emojis & I like having the period of the main screen. Also when I go onto the browser it will put (.com) as its own button. But all in all, I like where you're headed. I'll definitely check out the full version!

Somebody needs to develop a typing system for tablets. The qwerty layout has always been klunky; and dvorak really doesn't work well for thumbs either. It seems a curved keyboard modeled off dvorak would work better; but that idea seems out of the question at the moment. For some reason, in landscape mode, an editor pops up and it doesn't support text "copy." This app is still in beta; so we'll hang back for now on judgment. SOME OBSERVATIONS: It feels like the letters on the left and right should be reversed. The vowels should be on the left. That feeling may be due to my familiarity with DVORAK layout. Everything is on the wrong side. update: the development process for this app is nonexistent. Nobody is rethinking the key layout; so... *uninstall*.

Im really lost with jungle ramble letter..it took me 3 minutes to type this comment

Great app Only wish it did not echo keys when logging in.

great

Takes getting used to tho

Firstly: thank you very much for the effort of putting this together. Some functions I'd suggest down the line tho include del and space keys that persist between the alph & numchar pads, more intuitive autocaps (esp. after '.'s: autocap+space?), and as mentioned before; access to '.' & ',' on the alph pad - press and hold? Or perhaps split the numchar pad to 2 layers and set press-hold fn's for most of the alph keypad? Phew! That took a while to finish. looking forward to getting my WPM up. Thanks again

Please Add voice typing option button Please make punctuation Easier I don't seem to be using left space bar button

love it thanks!

Lousy

I'm using a Nook HD+. I can't get up to speed even though I've got the layout memorized. All too often when I press the space bar between words or a punctuation character, The Next Character Is Capitalized. Once This Starts, I have To Type The Letter, Tap Back Space, Then Type The Letter Again. I haven't figured out a pattern of keypresses that kicks off the behavior. Other comments. When I'm zipping along, my fingers want the position of the letters I (eye) and L (ell) reversed. In portrait mode, I would replace either the underscore or | with - (dash) which I use much more often. Keep up the great work!

This is a totally different layout, but i can feel how it would be more comfortable once i learn it. Cant wait for some autocorrection. I am having trouble using it in typing games so i can learn, seems like the first key of every word i type doesnt register. I thought it was the game, but ive tried a couple with the same problem. Update - after more days of practice, I'm getting faster, but still not there yet. I do find this much more comfortable than qwerty and dvorak (my preferred layout on a regular keyboard, but not as comfortable for thumb typing). I love the location of the space bars - it's perfect. Here are some things I'd like to see improved / fixed: 1) Put a delete key on the number keypad. 2) Put common punctuation on the portrait mode ABC layout (? . , ' off the top of my head) 3) Auto caps after punctuation sometimes doesn't work. It never works at the beginning of the message. If I delete my incorrect lower case letter, caps turns on then. 4) Autocorrect - at least caps "i" and put apostrophes in common contractions

...But that potential is used in the worst way. The new layout is awkward to use at first, but is a good idea. The keyboard in itself is awful to the point where it's unusable. Once the keyboard gets better, I may change my review. (Reply to the developer) - I find that the keys are rather small, which reduces typing precision. And typing on it feels awkward in a way I can't describe, but makes it so that I cannot type comfortably on it. I understand that it's still in beta phase, and I still have high hopes for this, but for the moment, I prefer waiting for v1.

Like a number of the other reviewers, I was looking forward to downloading this keyboard. I've been using it for about a day now, and the tablet layout is very user friendly, allowing easy typing in portrait and landscape mode whilst being able to hold the device, something that is considerably more difficult with a QWERTY keyboard. The position of keys takes a lot of getting used to, and my typing speed has rapidly dropped, but I am finding it easier as I go along. However, although I do recognise that this keyboard is designed for tablet use, on a mobile (which is what I type on more often), the buttons are a bit too small, and it is near impossible to type with the screen in landscape. Additionally, the numbers and symbols screen would benefit from a space bar and delete button, to allow multiple non-letter characters to be inputted more easily. Overall, though, this keyboard is very exciting and full of potential, and I look forward to the official release! EDIT: I just changed the 'Keyboard Height' on the settings, it now works great in landscape orientation on my phone :)

I installed it on my phone but cannot find it anywere. I will uninstall and reinstall to see if that fixes the problem will rate and comment again later.

I like the concept in the layout is nice. I miss having the voice to text button. The keys also a little hard to read on a phone its not bad on a tablet but it still needs work I'll probably download it again when it gets out of beta..

I was anxious to try this keyboard after hearing about it on the web and I have to say, I like it. It will take some getting used to, but after typing "the quick brown fox..." a few times, I'm already starting to learn where keys are. I would recommend removing the white inset, or making the entire key white. I like how the white background highlights alpha characters, but the gray border makes the keys look smaller than they really are. Also, consider adding commonly used non-alpha keys to portrait mode. I like what Vardhaman Infotech added to their portrait KALQ keyboard ('!', '?', '@', '.com', etc). I like your version of the landscape keyboard better, though. Overall, it's a great start. I look forward to using it more.

Maybe useful for a tablet, but not a smart phone. Buttons become even smaller, hard to locate and press. Screen is cluttered unnecessarily by way too many buttons. Should use less and larger buttons.

I've been using the unofficial version for a couple of weeks and already I'm comfortable with it. I use a phablet so this version is unusable without larger keys. This is the future guys! Well done on some first rate research.

+5star for new idea -2star for inproper interface in LG optimus G pro :( I think num-to-text and text-to-num button should be at the same place. I will try until left hand mode is released

It's taking over the entire screen though, it'd be nice to have it edit on the spot without turning everything white. Also it could do with some arrow keys like the hacker KB, as well as the hold-key-for-capital thing, easier access to the hyphen. But it's a nice start, let's see how it'll look when or if at all it'll get finished.

I like this keyboard but its hard to learn.

No good if you want to break your phone then download this appppppp I did and my Samsung galaxy s3 is ruined I'm suing the company cause of it

This keyboard is amazing ... the only problem at the moment is possibly the predictive text feature missing which would make typing even faster
