User reviews
Actually very nice and fits really well with MetroV, its sometimes a bit buggy (like the volume for the keyboard sounds not really working) but it is normal for a niche app. Very good WP8.1 keyboard.
You made me a lot happier thank you
Finally a good and working WP style keyboard
very good app.windows phone memories ❤️😢
Amazing keyboard! brings back that metro ui/wp i love so much and fits very well if you're using another launcher like SquareHome or Launcher10. Please, if you're planning on adding more languages please add spanish! the english layout is not as comfortable when you're used to an extra key 😅 EDIT: Spanish is here!!...
Very straightforward, simple, and easy to use. No complaints here!
