Before the current update, this app was 5 stars-Incredible/Perfect and so amazingly helpful. I used this as my default on everyone and as an expat, it was one tool I couldn't live without. After the update? Negative 10 stars. The keyboard size was reduced with no way to revert it, the keysize is impossible for folks with bigger hands to use. The voice to text feature is now unusable, no matter what anyone does. The search function was broken. And none of the settings save. Plz fix this!!

Used to be a great keyboard. But all of a sudden, it is terrible. This is on my galaxy fold. It's fine when folded on the small keyboard, but when unfolded and using the split keyboard, the auto correct is so bad. I have to manually change almost every word that I type. I will type it correctly and then when hitting space, the keyboard changes it to nonsense.

On November 10, 2024, Google finally gave a legitimate "What's New" description besides an old one they've been regurgitating for months on end. I'm happy to do this update, now that I see what I'm getting with it. I have a few wishlist items, but it has always been an excellent keyboard for me. It's fast, actually learns the weird words I use, and suggests them to me in the future so I delete and retype less. It even lets me tell it to stop suggesting words (drag it into a pop-up trash can).
