3/5Still doesn’t work with Apple Keyboards
It works as long as you don’t want to use any Apple keyboards like the Magic or Smart keyboards. It used to work like a year or so ago, you could hit the keyboard button, select wireless, and it worked. I have been all over setups and can’t find anything to help. I can’t be productive if I have to hold my iPad in my lap and use the iOS keyboard.

4/5Nice, but doesn’t work with Apple Magic Keyboard
I have used this app on my iPhone before, but it does not respond to physical keyboard input.

1/5Need the enter key back
This app went from five stars to a one star. The enter key is now gone on the top right of the screen and you have to swipe through the keyboard to find it. You put the most used key at the end of the list. It is so inefficient now with the placement of the enter key it is unusable for efficiency. Not anywhere near the page up and down key. Makes no sense at all. I challenge whoever made this decision to login and try using your app without being frustrated the whole time.

1/5How many keys do you really need to pull the keyboard up?
Very happy with the app and use it daily. However discouraged with the replacement of the enter key on the main screen. Have looked in settings and do not see a way to reconfigure this as a setting. Why do we need redundant keys on the main screen to open the keyboard? This is not as big of an issue when using on an IPad but is very annoying with having a small screen to begin with on an iPhone.

5/5Great app
Been using for years. Great for quick admin work when away from laptop. Needs a little work on new iPhones with notch.
