Starting to realize it's very buggy... Done. Supposed to get better, not worse. After years of decline, uninstalled from Epic 4G. Could've been so beautiful.

Really, really nice I absolutely cannot stand swype so for the longest time I've just been using Swiftkey. Yes, the text correction is nice, but it is hard to get your thoughts together. This is not the case with Keypurr. This keyboard is superior in nearly every way to any I've ever used, and after not much use at all I amd typing very quickly on it. Bravo dev.

Flawed I think this is probably a good keyboard, but it keeps getting it wrong. I type one word but get another. Too confusing for an old man.

Fun and easy Use with my Samsung galaxy s2. Now that I'm used to it I can type faster than I could with any swype or regular keyboard. I was always a fan of t9 back in the old days and this is as close as it gets. Lots of settings to play with for a personal look. Like how you can adjust colors and set the f-keys for even faster texting. The glide feature I was unsure of at first but now I dont know how I lived without it. No complaints so far. Great keyboard and worth the measly couple of bucks!

Best keyboard ever! I have tried every keyboard on the market. This is the easiest to use and most accurate as well. Letters, numbers and special characters are all readily available to type. Function keys and custom shortcuts are amazing!

Awesome Keyboard Love it. Aside from a swipe keyboard, this is the fastest type of keyboard for me. Only HTC had a keyboard like this as standard as far as I know. Only one issue: I don't know why it continues to repeat the last word when I send texts.

New android update issues Love it, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the new android update for Samsung nexus. It auto selects the highlighted word only sometimes and most annoyingly, not with google search. Please fix...

New Version - app isn't dead! I've been using this keyboard as my daily for a while, with the biggest problem being that it wasn't updated in close to a year. Finally, an update came out, showing it's alive! Sadly, the other big problem remains: No response from devs. There's a few minor problems that are simple fixes, and I'm hoping the devs read this feedback & start checking their mail! This keeps it at 4 starts for me until they reply. Keypurr looks weird, but it's actually a pretty standard qwerty with a slightly compact layout. 17 keys means that Keypurr will usually get the correct word since there is little overlap (ex: "got" and "for" are the same keystrokes). Large letters combine with sliding both up and down on keys to get alternate symbols makes doing precise entry (passwords) easy. The bottom space bar row is also slightly higher to combat the frequent problem of missing the space. You can also set up 12 quick-click buttons (appear in suggestion area between words) and user-editable shortcuts are there too! Don't underestimate the sliding instead of the traditional hold-a-key. Sliding will always be much faster & doesn't interrupt the flow of typing like holding a key does.
