... does it have to be so large? Over 8 MB is huge for a keyboard. But it still beats the competition!

Best Keyboard I've used. @shiori Don't agree. The layouts, bigram prediction and customization options make this the most superior keyboard around

Keyboard has a great array of layouts even for phones. However, there is a terrible lag no matter which layout I'm using or how long the email or Txt is the keyboard lags when pressing the buttons and I often have to stop to wait for it to catch up. Would be 5 stars but I can't handle the lag. I purchased this app, but won't be using it. HTC Thunderbolt.

A Must for Tablets

This keyboard is an absolute must-have for tablets! You never realize how annoying normal qwerty layout keyboards are when you're handling something with two hands until you try something that changes the game like this. I decided that, since I had already purchased it for my tablet, I'd try it on my phone... Let's just say that, while nice on a phone, it's really nothing special. I'm guessing that's where other lower star reviews are coming from.

I love this keyboard when it works, which is rare on my HTC Evo. Multiple freezeups when txting. Quick email support, but just too many problems.

I'd recommend this keyboard to anyone using an SGS2. It would be nice, though, if a T9 keyboard could be added to the possible layouts for those who prefer one-handed texting (similar to that of Perfect Keyboard). Otherwise, this keyboard is a must-buy!

The split landscape on the phone is pure genius. Makes typing a breeze.

Security Concern

The keyboard itself is great but it's a paid app requiring full internet access which is very disconcerting. The potential is there to transmit ANYTHING typed which is scary. I know it's to enable the downloading of more themes but at least provide the ability to turn network access off. Provide an option like that and this app becomes one of the best things on the market - essential for tablet owners.
