User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Nice app. a couple of glitches.
This keyboard makes it fairly easy to access the symbols of the international phonetic alphabet. It does have a tendency to close and switch back to the standard iOS keyboard. Also, the voiced velar plosive does not always show the correct symbol; it often reverts to the typewriter version of the "g" rather than the one shown here. It seems that it needs to not necessarily default to the one provided by the font.
★★★★★Great app and customer service!
I needed to find an app that could allow me to text the IPA alphabet to my classmates. I ran into an issue on my end (nothing to do with the app working, but rather my personal tech challenges) and I received immediate customer support. I am very impressed with the app and the customer service was a great bonus. I think our entire class has this app now- we love it. Thanks!
★★★★★Neat solution for whoever needs to write IPA symbols
Nothing fancy, but it does what it says it does. Super useful especially if you instruct phonetics or related disciplines, and use your iPad to make, let's say, a ppt material. Has no problem with inputting IPA symbols in a way that, at least for me, is consistent with my intuition. Also has a friendly customer service.
★★★★★Great!
Completely great! Works flawlessly. A go to app when I need to write some IPA enscriptions.
★★★★★Works well, good layout, no technical problems
Doesn’t work very well as an everyday keyboard—the layout’s just too awkward—but it’s extremely convenient and works well any time I need to use IPA. Most of the character positions are quite logical to me and are usually in the first or second place I look. (I don’t use it frequently enough to have them all memorized.)
I also have never experienced crashes or technical problems with it, which is very nice.
Definitely recommended from me!
