Clumsy, clunky, slow

I write very slowly with my smartphone keyboard, so I bought this, hoping it would be quicker. It's 300 times slower! It just doesn’t get me..... If this is the best app available, I’ll just go back to laborious tapping on the keyboard!

Review written with the keyboard. Judge for yourselves!

I'm quite imperial! You will see from the hut sentence that the keyboard isn't 100% accurate, but it's better than most, ant I will freely admit that my handwriting is pretty Lemker r
So, some issues, as you Can no doubt see, but overall, quite Impressive. (Not Imperial.)

Useful tool

I’ve used numerous note taking apps before, but none of them would let me use MS office. This is a game changer as it can be used with virtually any app that uses the keyboard. Simple to activate and well worth £3.99.

Poor text manipulation (and even recognition)

It does well in recognising numbers and known words, however the moment I tried to write down certain abbreviations it has started to have problems.
Easy example, an email. First line, no huge problems. Then, once we got past the @, it struggled to recognise “uk” initially. Which is perfectly fine as my handwriting is not perfect, yet, the pain I had to get through to correct it was astonishing.
I scribbled over the unwanted text and it deleted right away - ‘perfect’ I thought. Well... no. Once I rewrote what I meant in the middle of the section, it started to try to merge everything together and twist letters to god knows what. It became a nightmare trying to correct anything.
Going back to my email example, the software seemed ecstatic about saturating my text with spaces, even though all my letters were as tight as skinny jeans. I again tried to rewrite it, but it kept on malfunctioning here or there. I never got the chance to explore how to manually delete those spaces or correct any spelling mistakes. And frankly, I am not planning to try.
I absolutely love the concept and I know that many people would be buzzing to have it, but at this point in time, this is not it. I see this as a good starting point, but a lot more needs to be done for me to consider this as a good investment. I want my money back.

Great but Sometimes annoying but not in a terrible way.

This app is great however, sometimes when I'm writing it adds random symbols which can be a problem when I'm in a rush. Overall this app is the best as its the only one out of duzzens that actually does what I want. Giving it a 5/5 because the cheap es & best SO far!!!

Breaks Dvorak layout for Hardware keyboard!

When this is enabled the Dvorak layout for the hardware keyboard stops working. The hardware keyboard reverts back to qwerty layout regardless of the hardware keyboard being set to Dvorak layout. If you disable the handwriting keyboard then Dvorak works again but you then can’t switch between hardware keyboard and handwriting without changing enabling and disabling the handwriting keyboard in the settings.

Unique

Just wish the back button Was bigger and that You don't need to Clear just to use the back key. I am not sure why random letters Capitalise while using this keyboard. Other than that it's good.

Brilliant.

Works superbly well. Handwriting recognition quality is perfectly usable, even with my scribble. App is well-thought out and intuitive.
This is one of those game-changing apps that ought to be built in. Feels as though it’s made by Apple.
