Ginger Keyboard - Emoji, GIFs

Good

great app, too bad i can't make auto correct work on romanian

not working after updating to One UI9

Thank you for creating this software

Horrible thought they fixed this but the correction stip ascts like it's mentality disabled if words go past the 6th grade level.

its full of bugs lately: * can't exit out of emoji mode * long-pressing the top row doesn't (always) mean a number (12è45ýûìó0) * keyboard closes for no reason, doesn't pop back up until I tap out of the input box and back into it * "don't suggest " option doesn't always work, and sometimes isn't available at all * sometimes autocompletes in all caps for some reason * sometimes changes keyboard size for no reason

it hangs up after you type a while while they save your tyoed data in the app i dont know why... may be selling it

update: 1⭐ it still has all the features I absolutely love, but 3 big problems: 1) the keyboard & android's 3 navigation buttons overlay each other frequently. I haven't found another keyboard with that issue. 2) the alternate / long press symbol shown on each key used to be right where your thumb is. now its shifted. 3) I keep getting a 'b' whenbi trybgetting abspace. doesn't happen with Gboard and some others. original: 5⭐ I always install Ginger.

I was happily paying for this app since 2015, but had to cancel. I haven't been able to use it for about a year now due to the keyboard moving down on the screen. The space bar is exactly where my home keys are, making the bottom row of the keyboard unusable. Please fix the issue🙏 I really dislike the Google keyboard

Having issues in sign in pls fix it. I can't able to sign in the app.

good keyboard program

Been using this app for years and it was perfect, but not lately there's been issues with the keyboard I just can't fix. Pressing and holding keys gives the wrong symbol now, instead of ", I get č. Never been an issue until now.

For typing No keyboard appearing, only an icon of mic to speak! Inbuilt Samsung is best.

Not used.

Normally a great keyboard, But currently-Stream tab is turned "on"and tab is "grayed- out" so I cannot turn it OFF, affecting what I type~Even with uninstall/reinstall~ Please fix UPDATE: TY for fixing the issue💫

ok support armenian

It looked great until I couldn't type voice messages within my messaging app.

5 years using this app that I love now I need to uninstall it because the 3 navigation buttons from OnePlus all of the sudden started to overlap the keyboard any solution?

no devnagari provided! unable to find the marathi language

while it makes typing Easy to use-the keyboard bottom layout overlaps with the navi bar of android. guys? gotta fix this.. Flesky has better layout.

changing my review, i used this for decades, recently the long press option would give you the underscore sign now it give the ž its frustrating plus the capitalize option on the suggested words sometimes is stuck in all caps

Not bad, but to much symbols on the keyboard skin. I like minimalism and this visual trash irritates me. But it good kb and simple

super app

Latested update changed the ease of access for the "?" mark. Significantly reduces usability for me. STRIKE 2.

I used this keyboard for a decade maybe. But the latest update ruined everything: it does not switch back to normal from emoji. And - most important - the dot key behavior has been changed without an option of customization to revert it back. Looking for a replacement, alas.

Used to be a 5 star, but a month or so ago, something changed and it's gotten very difficult to type. Pressing and holding buttons to bring up the alternate options used to have the most used options already aligned with the key, which made things super easy. Now, those popups seem to change locations / get changed in size to fill the whole horizontal space. IE: Normally, the . key's alternate is ! but now is , because the popup has changed size. I can provide an example screenshot or two.

currently got a Xiaomi Redmi 15. I can switch from my Japanese keypad to ginger but not the other way around. making it really inconvenient. it doesn't show me a quick option to change to other keyboards. I don't want to use the system keyboard. ginger dev team, please help. add an integrated option so people like can switch to Japanese keypads conveniently.

Nice app

This app was Great, but the letter calibration is off when I hit the L it deletes things and vise versa. It happens with every letter and symbol. 🤬 this review took almost 10 mins to type. Also, speech to text does not work. I have to use something else until this is corrected

very nice

it started floating over the text box in apps, I can't see what I'm writing l. please fix

I'm editing my original review. I had given 4 stars, but downgraded it to 3 because now, every time I use an emoji, I can't get back to the keyboard without hitting the back button, then getting back to my message. It's a pain. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it didn't help. And now, occasionally, the back buttons are over the punctuation ones so I have to restart the phone to fix that.

After using this app for many years, I'm no longer using it because the keyboard is overlapping and it's very frustrating. If it persists for a long time, try to fix it.

used to love this app but now it's impossible to search emojis, the keyboard will just black out

used to be a great app but now it covers the navigation buttons in both upright and landscape modes (yes I've got the most recent update installed and still doing the same thing) been premium for years and finally had to stop using it which was disappointing 😞

I like it much better than google keyboard! like having #s at the top.

the space bar under the nagivation button

Really good but no greater than or less than.

You need to fix a recent bug that it has where it overlays your phone's native bottom navigation bar in some (if not all) apps. really annoying to try to type something and you hit the center square button and your all of a sudden you're at your home screen. Edit: As of October 6 2025 issue still persistent, can't upload screenshot on Google Play.

Soellcheck is poor. Clipboard does not work. The Vietnamese keyboard knows zero tieng viet and there is no telex.

hate it. won't work

Ginger keyboard contacts are 1 app(s) found

Can you make a system that can make a custom size like example my keyboard is too big I can size that too a smaller keyboard please add it

Something wrong with the recent samsung UI update, now occasionally the keypad overlaps with the home, back and navi button. Is frustrating to type.. any fix soon?

After 8 years using this app that I love I had to uninstall it because the 3 navigation buttons from galaxy all of the sudden started to overlap the keyboard. Let me know if there's a solution for it Edit: the same way the issue came, it disappeared.

For a couple of days, the space bar has been overlapping with the navigation bar.. Very irritating. I had to type this with another keyboard. The issue will disappear when you switch between keyboards, but it will reappear when you switch between apps.

Premium user for several years. I had to uninstall ginger as the keyboard was lying over the navigational buttons at the bottom of the screen. install uninstall nothing fixes the issues. Also, the dictionary will not load. Finally, no one responds to my emails from the customer support portal. wth

I have been using this app for a long and I don't know how I would live without.

User friendly, intuitive. nice layout. I love it!

Doesn't have the German language as an option like they claim, all the other languages work well, ill come back when they add "for real the german language"

im stuck with this app ever since i got used to it. nevertheless, im quite upset that you developers wont give me the option to relinquish the smart bar completely

they are days where the grammar correction won't work. German never work not once in none of the devices I installed ginger keyboard they shouldn't claim to have the german language when they don't the other languages I used they work good Spanish, English, Italian. I go back when they fix this issues.

Best

love

Love it!

It's a great App

I loThis app

Wonderful

The best of all keyboards

Love it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I absolutely LOVE this!!! It's so much better than apps like Facemoji (which I've used for years until recently when I discovered this app)

My experience is not okay You guys are stressing me, i need you to be completing my writings if am writing

Very helpful

Easy to tweak

I Like It

Ginger is good I am using it on my five devices and that's good enough for me. Thanks for making Ginger software available for free to be used!

easily the best keyboard app. simple and reliable

I've been using this for a while now and i must say it is a must need to use for me now. But please fix the emoji search. The emoji result didn't match my search by a lot.

The only keyboard that has many features I use often. 🌈🫶

Keep coming back,wonder why !

It needs an AI upgrade for sure.

It is aesthetically not pleasant, so I am using keyboards that I got from fdroid.

Yes ok

I like it 😊😁😊😁 pwede kpang mg laro sa keyboard na'to try niu guys

so far it's a good app

Please provide malayalam typing. All other keyboards providing malayalam typing.

Edit Nov 25 - Still issues with the Return key, ‰ symbol (see what I mean?), and the opening " mark. Seriously?? Appreciate how similar to Swiftkey it is without the annoying over-reach of SwiftKey's AI. 1 thing though that renders it unusable for emails. "Return" key doesn't work to add a new line. Also, when inserting " marks, it removes the space prior to it, with the result that the " ends up being a closing one at the end of the last word, instead of an opening one for the next word typed.

Yes ok

So far, this is the only keyboard I have found with numbers at the top of the keyboard and long press on the letters for different symbols. My biggest complaint is that the internal dictionary for Swype text or voice to text is absent. I can't add names, like my wife who has an unusual name, I have to manually type every time. It is incredibly annoying.

I love this ginger keyboard It help me with the correct Spelling try it I know u will like it..

I've used this for a long time. Pay yearly too. And usually it works. But sometimes when it corrects the words are mashed together, making worse errors. And I noticed I can't find the part to add words. Like words that aren't in its normal dictionary.

I think it's one of the best so far.

when Im playing roblox this keypad did not appear so i cant chat with my friend also in coc but when I change it to google keypad its fine.

Overall, this is a great application!

so far it's good. Using it again with Page. I'll edit this once I've used it for a while. Edit. Word prediction no longer works...AT ALL! A once really good keyboard is now totally useless.

Suddenly, after getting the Oppo phone all my emojis are from 10 years ago.

Becareful with this app. I don't know what happened. I've been using ginger page for years and I never had a problem till recently. I have notice that I have a charges on my card for $3 every month. I never upgrade to premium nor pay for anything. Their customer service sucks, because they don't have a number to call, only email. The person I have been emailing with could not figure it out. So I called my bank to dispute the charges, and found out they have been charging me for 2 years.

About a year & half ago I had to stop using this app because of a problem with it. I'm glad the problem is fixed, and I'm able to use your app again. The last update no longer lets me install the themes that I was able to use before. Just wondering what happened. I paid for them, but I'm not able to install them anymore. PLEASE CORRECT THIS ISSUE!

I love all functions and the features on the Ginger software keyboard. It has helped my game with word wars&scrabble,not to mention learning how to deal with the progress,and being more confident with speaking in crowds . I love the personal dictionary. However, I'd really like if they did what grammerly does and highlights your mistakes.But Grammerly came automatically installed on my other phone. "Simon Says" is on here. And it helps with my English. Thank you Development team,ppl can't go w

I never used the keyboard. Downloaded it and attempted to set it as my default, but when I selected it from my installed keyboard list, a notification popped up which read: "Ginger Keyboard may be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data such as passwords and credit card numbers." Immediately uninstalled.

Not so good now.... It used to be better. Sadly, when you opt to use the spell/grammar check, it makes things worse. And it's been getting worse over time. I'm going to switch keyboards soon if they don't fix these problems. Having to correct the app's continuous errors in the corrections it makes is such a waste of my time! Please fix or I'm moving on.

Everything on this keyboard feels kind of glitchy. It doesn't seem to recognize a lot of commonly used words and will often autocorrect them into something that is nothing like what I said. The swipe feature, which I use exclusively for texting and typing on my phone, does not pick up letters properly. It also doesn't seem to have any type of memory of commonly used words or phrases. I give it's a 3 because it is usable, but it could definitely use some upgrades.

I have tried a multitude of swipe keyboards. This one does the job but barely. The problem is exclusively in the word prediction, which in some sentences doesn't get a single word right , and your ability to manually enter a word which in some situations seems to be impossible. UPDATE since the developer asked me to reevaluate, I gave this another try after 5 years. With swipe it is barely usable in English but in other languages completely unuseable. I'm sorry but I can't give it more than 2

I've used this app for many years with no problem, but for some odd reason, it logged me out. I get an email stating about the new yearly price, so I was trying to cancel my subscription, but will not even let me log in. It states, invalid email and password, which or not wrong. How can I fix this?

I’ve used ginger keyboard for a long time and like it a lot. It’s very easy to use, was easy to install and I absolutely love the different color skins that I can use to customize my phone and match my theme. The only thing that I’m not thrilled with (maybe because I just don’t know how to use it) is that I can’t change the color of my emojis’ skin or hair. Everybody is blonde with red hair on my phone. Not a great look. Otherwise, thumbs up in all areas. Thanks for a great app.

Suddenly 18 pounds a year to return to full functionality. I would consider a one off fee but certainly not a yearly fee unless it was considerable less. The app is good but I will manage with something cheaper. The developer may think the app is worth a yearly fee but for those that are light users it is rather expensive. Having a very good app with a high level of functionality and millions of users should generate sufficient profits by virtue of scale. £18 to buy then £5/year would be OK.

Tried this keyboard back in 2013. Not much improvement in 2022. Stalls, misses words, autocorrect is a joke, suggestions are unrelated, cannot adjust the size of the huge keyboard. Every other word is wrong. If I left the mistakes, this message would be incoherent. The dictionary doesn't have the most common words. Awful

Finally! Found a good keyboard for use on my Fairphone which has the layout and options that I want. It's the most similar to the Samsung keyboard, and its pretty accurate with swiping, whereas I've tried several others that are not. It's resizeable, you can change the look and feel, and it has language change by moving the space bar which I like. The word prediction is mostly helpful, and it has backspace-word-delete which again, was missing from some others I have tried. 👍

What is included in "Unlimited Corrections" Upgrade section? I want to upgrade it, but I'm not sure what will I be provided. Will there be corrected only grammatical errors or sentence rephrasing will also be there in in discount pack. They show different paying notice for different sections. What includes in "Unlimited Corrections?" Kindly reply.

I've used it and deleted it, but used it again. Multiple times than I could remember. It's sort of decent, and I only mean about the keyboard theme. I can say that the grammar checker is... okay. I don't really care about the grammar checker tbh x'D

This keyboard had not worked well since installing on my Samsung Galaxy. I end up with LOTS of spelling errors when I try to drag type and am often told there are grammar errors where none exist. This screen is VERY touchy and auto corrects so inefficiently that sometimes I can't even figure out what I had tried to type. I am really not thrilled with the newest version of what used to be a good app.

Extremely expensive recurring subscription fees, without any possibility to purchase the software once and for all -- for a f...g keyboard?!? Many better competitor products can he bought instead of rented, costing less once than what these crooks charge for every customisation separately. The engine for different systems is the same and language does not change much, so a spellcheck is a spellcheck. This milkingware has therefore been replaced with a superior alternative and was uninstalled.

Deception business, terms and conditions. This app when was unknown and beginning offered one time lifetime purchase and license in 2018. Now after years, they pressure all old customers to pay again for a yearly subscription, saying new updates! and they declined their old deal. Be careful about them. They could suddenly change terms and conditions in the future again. Once done, ever done

Uninstalled the moment I launched the app. After pressing enable the app, it said it has no Internet access! I did not have one at the time, but why does it even REQUIRE WiFi? Nope. A keyboard MUST be offline, whatever was the reasoning behind it, it can't justify it. It's a keyboard.. Edit: You see, I don't think keyboards needs that. It should be built in.

Not great. Spend more time correcting words than typing. Words used previously, eg LOL (all uppercase), don't get remembered for subsequent use, so have to type them manually each time. And when clicking misspelt words to correct them, the choices shown above the keyboard bear little relationship to the most likely correct word.

Uninstalled. Makes lots and lots of mistakes in swipe mode. very slow response, had to repeat the same word many times, ending up having to type the word out. Not as good as the MS keyboard. The other thing is why the hell do i need to create an online account for the keyboard to better know my wordage??????

Spell check and autocorrect are awful. That's one of your selling points but I have advanced multiple sclerosis. When I type now I have struggles with typing and spelling now. Making this up as an example... If I type diper and your app doesn't suggest diaper or dipper, that's a problem. It doesn't catch a lot of errors and suggests ridiculous correction options.

Nice keyboard but I'm noticing a decent amount of fairly common words aren't in the dictionary (like "deodorant", for example). There's no clear way to add or delete words (sometimes long press works, sometimes it doesn't). I switched to Ginger from TouchPal and this is the second best app I've found, but it definitely needs a few kinks (<- also not in the dictionary) ironed (<- or that) out. Expand the dictionary and improve swipe accuracy and you're golden!

Why would you bury the ? and ! under the period key? Why not make them easily accessible, like where the + and - keys are? Granted, either way requires a long key press, but there's always a decent chance of slipping past whatever key you're shooting for under the period key. Also, if you're a one hand typist it's much easier to touch the middle of the keyboard than to crank your thumb back to long press the period key. Finally, swipe doesn't work well unless your path is very precise.

(British English) The rephrase function seems very erratic and most of its suggestions would incorrectly alter/corrupt the context of the sentence. Eg the words(British English) above, turns into (English French). Another minor issue is that many of the spelling suggestions in the suggestion bar are missing for very minor text and typing errors or are not the same as under the spell checker "A" button, so many more button clicks are required to edit and correct text as many free keyboards.

I like this board out of a half dozen or more. It feels solid and is easy to type on for me. Space bar doesn't get in the way and isn't offset like some models. It resizes and the options work well for me. It doesn't lag. Users who prefer to disable both the popup on keypress and tactile vibration is also user adjustable. Best board for me personally. It just works and is fast without errors upon input. I do not use the swipe to text option however thus, I cannot comment on that aspect.

Ginger Keyboard must be one of the hidden gems among Android keyboard apps. Not as well known as Gboard or Swiftkey, I found this keyboard app to be very comfortable in usage. Predictions are as good or better than those two competitors. There are some features that are missing in Gboard and Swiftkey. Middle prediction box (with three dots) expands to include more choices. Grammar checker is very intuitive and is worth the subscription for long-term usage. I also like Create Theme feature, in which I can choose background and button color and contrast to my likings. I encountered an issue with subscription purchase, but the customer service was excellent and fixed the glitch with the latest update. Ginger Keyboard is a great alternative to stock or other third-party keyboard apps.

This keyboard app turns to be the most convenient for typing, for me (big hands an fingers). I didn't need to reajust the buttons size or space. Also, I like that it's not Google app. It probably sends some personal info somewhere, but at least I can limited what Google nows for me(I hope). Unfortunately, the predictions are not quite good. It seems that I need to nearly complete the word, before to get the right prediction, but I suggest it's the trade off of staying away from Google.

I gave this app 5 stars because i like how it lets you customize your keyboard, somehow has games in it and also keeps your grammar at best, it has cool emojis, but i wish you could translate directly into the (thing) instead of having to go to the app and back.one thing is that sometimes it takes a while to come up (which is just a glitch) and sometimes it can't keep up with what I'm typing.overall great app 👍😁

A correction limit? Keeping in my mind that your keyboard is complex to type on. When you play the games you get ads. The corrections aren't complex. In fact, I could get a grammarly keyboard. What I have seen is greediness. Most of the words don't even get checked by the corrections. Shabby quality at best. Response: The only feature it offers that would make it different is games. Every other feature is too minimal or another keyboard covers it. Premium (Paying) users don't get anything free.

The suggested word selection is terrible. Frequently I find myself manually typing the word in instead of being able to select it from the list. Half of this feedback was manually typed. *EDIT* I used multiple times per day for 1 week. Simple words such as (food, them, done) wouldn't even come up in the suggestions when I went to edit the words that came out wrong. I switched to another Swype keyboard with GIF abilities, which is all I really wanted. Maybe 1 week wasn't enough, but my previous keyboard didn't have as many issues and my new keyboard seems to work better after only 2 days as well. I understand it's a learning algorithm, My opinion is it doesn't learn fast enough, or well enough then. I don't have time for it to take 6 months to learn my speech patterns. I will say, it was easy to install and set up. Once installed, it was being used in less than a minute.

So far, 5 stars. I'm clumsy with keyboards. Wasn't having much luck on this phone with Swiftkey, so tried Ginger Keyboard. I like the arrows for navigation. I'm not too into the grammar correction, just help spelling when I do a typo. The keypad works better for me upsized because easier to tap the right thing. Still I make boodles of typos, but that's my lack of dexterity with virtual keypads. I'm still getting used to the Ginger Keyboard. Have Cellophane theme on 3 phones.

I like the keyboard layout, but autocorrect and text predictions are lacking. Typing in 2 languages in the same sentence is also frustrating. The developer said below that the more we use certain word, the more Ginger will know and learn about that word. But the app keeps correcting 1 word I use often to another word. And when I made a typo, for example "raesearch", Ginger gave options of" "raised" and "Rae search", but no "research".

It's a well thought out app with some great features. However the kepboard placement is far too low and on a large phone its a massive stretch to hit the space bar. Even though I have large hands it's uncomfortable and in a flow of text I miss it every single time resulting in the world's longest jumble of letters. Its a shame because the grammar feature is so good.

This app was easy to set up, runs smooth; no lag when appearing on the screen, a fun way to personalize a keyboard, great for writing emails, resumes and even reviews with the auto correction feature! Just an all around great addition to any device. All I ask that there be a handwriting-to-text feature for the stylus. I use my Note 8 stylus even when I'm using the Qwerty keyboard but love that I can customize the background on your app! It'll definitely be a game changer if you added that.

Not the best but not the worst either. Plus point is the keyboard layout yet ironically its also a problem as every message I create often has a number of " ," in tge text. Probably due to the close proximity of space bar to the comma key. Another big minus point is tge lack of corrections. My mobile phone keypad looks at a mispelled word and suggests alternatives. Whereas Ginger doesnt. So Im often typing "the" but getting "tge" instead.

It is a good app, one of the best android keypads I have used. I am not compelled to remove it anytime soon. It is that good, it doesnt need a two step installation, you install it and that is all you need. So why not give it 5 stars? This morning the application notified that if I want to continue using the spell checker to automatically correct my grammar or spellings I have to upgrade the app. This is what annoyed me into giving it 3 stars. The upside is I can still see miss spelt words.

I recently found out that the app I was using for my keyboard wasn't showing all my emojis so I had to change it and this is the best app I found, however there are a few things I wish there were. I hate having to scroll to the side to see emojis, I prefer scrolling down and I wish there was at least an option of changing it. I also wish there were more color options for the keys other than the few provided, I'd like to pick my own. other than that, it's a great app and one of the best imo!

It oes eerything ,, everything you can think of from sources engine of Google clipboard hand rotten you name it takes notes I'll leave the mysterious the rest of it and everything else up to you to explore but it took the place of at least 10 or more apps this is the free version I'm talking about I'm upgrading to get more I recommend you try this one I love it but it can you a few more things then you will have a perfect keyboard

Good day, this is my first time using this app and I am confident about it. This will help me hone my grammar and be fluent in English. Ginger has a great interface and not puzzling enough, old generation can even use it without getting puzzled by its interface. Unlike any other grammar keyboards that I have used so far Ginger is my top 1 among them. Most grammar keyboards that I had used was annoying and in Ginger you can switch with your mother tongue without getting grammar checked.

I used this keyboard for a few years now and I learned to love the keyboard layout. I even shelled out the money for the spelling and grammar checker with had improved over the years, but the word suggestions features is only halfway decent, and I feel like even though it hook up to my google account it don't keep any memory of my word suggestions across devices. Allow that data to sync across devices.

I've been using ginger for two years. Initially I loved this app enough to recommend it to many people but more and more it has been falling short in the word suggestion area. Whenever I need the accurate spelling of more difficult words, ginger isn't able to suggest the correct spelling. It seems to have only a high school level database. I find that my only recourse is to use google voice. Many of my friends are having the same problem. People who use spellcheck, have even more issues!

I really want a google alternative key board that works but it seems impossible to find. The swipe function is useless more often wrong than right, it can't be set to two languages at once only one or the other. And the slightesslightest touch makes it switch to other language keyboard. So many bugs is impossible to know where to begin. Absolute junk.

Best keyboard on the play store. Easy to use and navigate. Perfect key size for my large hands. It's intuitive and is capable of learning your typing style and is like Artificial intelligence in intuiting your overall preferences. Not glitchy in the least. Your development Team did a great job on this app.!!!!!!!!! So thanks guys and gals. You are veritable wizards!!!!!

Ads unless you buy it at 10 bucks a month... I'm not sure why they believe the quality warrants the price but if they're listening or watching rather, nobody wants to pay for a keyboard... Nor be controlled by ads on your home screen... Go back to the drawing board and find a better way

Despite being listed as top recommendation on a popular website, they make you pay for auto correct. What a great way to money grab for a keyboard app. Would be okay with a one time fee. Not a subscription. Hardly any customization options for custom themes. Will be looking for a better keyboard that doesn't do it just for the money.

Interface works fine and word prediction is for the most part decent. But I've got a complaint: you can't add words to be included in the swype predictions, so certain words that the dictionary "already recognizes" never come up in predictions. It doesn't matter if the dictionary knows the words exists when it never recognizes it as it's being typed out.

I'm trying to give it sufficient time to prove worthwhile. However, it has one of the worst spell checking capabilities I've seen in a long while. It appears to have no skill set to take a word and offer multiple choices outside of what the first letter. The flow function, where the finger follows for typing, is chopped and intermittently fails to function. I still can not find how to add the microphone to the key board. I'll continue to try but it really is proving to be a frustrating app

I've used the same keyboard for the last 8 yrs and have been trying to fond one that was similar to my old app buy performed better with more features and this one definitely delivers! Unfortunately the auto correct doesn't work as well in this app as my other one but it still out performs many others. When performing a google search or it seems any browser search the spell check and word suggestions don't work. Please change this so it works like anything else we type.

I like it, I really do. But it's sad that the rephrasing method is limited which is utterly dissappointing. As a writer who is not good at english this app became very helpful to me. Edit: 04/14/20 It's still good. However it seems like it doesn't fucntion that well anymore. Whenever there are errors, it highlighted the wrong words or sometimes doesn't highlight anything at all making it hard to find the errors. This is such a good app. Hopefully you'll fix it soon.

The keyboard is cool, but it would be nice if I can change the skin tone to my emojis like I can with other keyboards. That's my only hang up with this app. Is there a way I can do that or am I stuck with the emojis that come with the app? Until that changes, I can't give it a full five stars. Most keyboards have that as an option and it is surprising that Ginger Keyboard does not. At least not as far as I can tell. Help a sister out here!

I gave it a honest try Even purchased the ad free version. Sorry just doesn't compete with SwiftKey. It's not that it doesn't work well, SwiftKey really out performs every word, Typed, Swiped, Spoken. So, I'm back with SwiftKey. Update *** Thanks for the quick response. I must have had that feature turned off because that is one I really missed. Is it possible I had that feature not enabled in settings. Regards, Mark.

The keyboard is okay, but it's not good for the UK layout. There is no £ when there is still $ on the main keyboard. Also, when I enable the number row there are foreign letters such as ŵ, é, ý, ú, í, ó and π now included for the long press alternatives. These are useless for the UK layout. If this gets changed I might return to this app. Edit: I know. This is just a US layout named UK. $ has more priority than £ and other keyboard apps don't have accents either.

It's okay . The grammar checker seems to lose it's place at times making changes several paragraphs above the point that I am working. It could be user error, but happens so frequently I kind if doubt it. The suggestion feature as mentioned elsewhere is not very robust. But it is inexpensive, so there's that.

I could swipe with it but it constantly went back to putting single special letters in like ¥ and as far as prediction it got hardly any right even words that i had used 20 or 30 times previously and sometimes several times in the same passage. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but the one I've just installed has predicted every word correctly or given me the option and I've only just installed it. I have it 2 stars because I liked the board layout and appearance

Ten star keyboard! Happy sending messages again. I've tried top rated ones, switching after disgusted to other ones. Typing slowed down, corrections would drive me insane an unending list of annoyances were appearing. I was at wits end. I did an internet check once again, this time Ginger Keyboard appeared as being an excellent choice. I love the sentence structure suggestion and I still can keep GIFs, etc., zero lost by switching.

It's good, definitely can type way faster than on my phones default keyboard. Autocorrect can be a little annoying sometimes but I think that would be easy to fix in settings. Keyboard also can be a bit sensitive to shifting up instead of pressing z which is annoying but may just be an adjustment.

Absolutely love the keyboard and all its abilities. The themes are great, its ability to correct all grammer and English mistakes is a major plus!!! Love the options to search some on the web straight fromt the keyboard and its filled with gifs and stickers and all sorts of fun stuffs! Gotta give it 5 stars

Has nice themes, is terrible at typing. Especially bad at typing in landscape mode. Personal dictionary doesn't work, corrects words wrongly a lot, changes many swiped words to uncommonly used words or proper names I have never used, doesn't know or can't learn many words: Pokémon, all Hawaiian words, company or brand names, "corrects", "uncommonly", "wrongly", when pressing the delete key types "l" a lot or when pressing the capitalize key types "a" a lot, among other problems. Uninstalling.

No voice to text, no auto capitalize word with double shift. Doesn't have a names database and can seem to read contact database. Can not add lastpass to hot key apps. Hot key/jump default buttons are useless. It interferes with the cut and paste buffer on most dating apps/ not really their problem but seems to be enhanced issur with this keyboard app. The is no way to change layout for number sub keys to match a regular keyboard thus passwords with the (sub 6) ^ are a pain in the ass to type.

This keyboard did not work properly with the writer app I use. Spaces were not properly inserted between words, and, when checking grammar, often the wrong word or phrase was highlighted placing the "correction" in the wrong place. This keyboard functioned fine, except in the one app that mattered. The keys also seemed sticky (sometimes I'd have to tap a key three or four times for it to work), and the spacebar is too short. There should be an option to leave off keys you don't intend to use often.

Good app! Some problems I have are: 1. You can't choose if you want the small numbers and symbols above the letters to pop up on your keyboard or not. 2. There isn't Zhu yin in Chinese, there is just pin yin. 3. The stream is a bit off (it doesn't write the word I want it to write), GBoard was more accurate, but I prefer this app because it checks your grammar. Please fix these problems. Keep up the good work!😁👍

I was looking for a keyboard with actual emojis that had a wider range. This is not that. This keyboard doesn't auto correct very well if at all. The suggested words are lame and don't auto fill. My last keyboard was connected, it knew celebrity names, it kept up with my cursing, it did a lot of things this one doesn't, but it had ads and the downloaded skins and fonts came with more ads. I am still contemplating going back to my previous keyboard.

Ginger Keyboard works well but I did not like it because of the upgrade pricing. The upgrade subscription pricing is just too expensive. Having to pay a yearly subscription to continue using a feature makes no sense to me when there are other keyboards with similar features for free. I'm sure that I'm not the only one turned off by the pricing model for this keyboard. If you made the upgrade pricing a reasonable one time fee I might consider keeping this keyboard.

I absolutely love this APP so much!! It is so fast!! I had Grammarly before and it was very slow in comparison to how face I was typing/texting. I would have to stop every so often and tap on what I wanted it to fixed. I don't know what I ever did without Ginger Keyboard in my life before. Great job Developers!😉

I've been using this app for a few years already, quite satisfied, but recent update makes it troublesome, all this time I can just fix grammar mistakes however I want but now there's Correction usage limit, it kept asking for money when I just want to correct grammar, why something that always been free suddenly needs money to operate?

Good keyboard but has a several big cons. $15 a year membership to get rid of ads and get full functionality and unlimited correction? Most of the free themes are ugly. When I chose a free theme it wants you to register with your google or other account. I will stay with Swift key as it has all the functionality and more FOR FREE. If Ginger charged a one time, reasonable fee that would be fare but on going yearly fee is ridiculous for a keyboard application. Sorry.

Very good with one major flaw. Paying monthly for typing corrections is ridiculous. Especially with the amount Ginger keyboard is charging. Unfortunately, that makes this app no more accurate then other, larger computing shops that have do many more themes and cooler themes. If Ginger keyboard wants to stand out in a a "sea of mediocrity", it needs to offer typing corrections right along with their app or at least make typing connections a reasonable one time expense

Failure in so many ways! For example autocorrect. Tried to swipe THERE and during my testing it changed it to "THE" about 75% of the time. Don't even get me started on short words like OF, THE, IT, FOR, THIS, etc. I kid you not, sometimes it changes "THE" to "THERE". So you never know which word you're going to get, "THE" or "THERE". Out of the blue it seems to give you the opposite word. What gives?! It doesn't even have keyboard shortcuts like most keyboards have.

Facet keyboard. Word collection isn't that has, and for sure train, it didn't cumin words (like apologize). THE ABOVE WAS TYPED WITH THIS KEYBOARD. Now, this is what I really typed: Decent keyboard. Word correction isn't that great and for some reason, it doesn't recognize common words (like apologized). I've noticed it removes all tenses and plurals of a word, including the "S"s after a word, the "ed" after a word, etc. uninterrupted...UNINSTALLED because it became frustrating.

There's no active learning of how you type, hence the keyboard makes the same mistakes again and again. The swiping word recognition algorithm is really bad, can't compare to others. You have to be really precise, or you will never get your word out.

I have been using for many years now. I like Ginger better than all the rest. No crazy ads and so many themes and colors. And yes I am a real person. I have tried so many that were just awful. I couldn't find this one in the scroll so I thought it was gone. Had to put the name in Search and there it was. Which I'm glad I thought of!

Customizable keyboard, good grammar/word correction. Some grammar mistakes are not recognized (if I will). However, it's not free, and their freemium only include 8 corrections which after one use, you have to pay a subscription service which is 11 pounds annum. Unless you're a writer/author etc. it's a very expensive app for what it is, considering it doesn't correct grammar 100% all the time.

I like the variety of themes, colors, apps, and other useful items to choose from. Right now I found the font size, which is very important for people who need the lettering to be large enough to see better as they type. Finally, an app that does what it promises without problems, thus far anyway. Thanks a million. I recommend this app to all who want to write better.

I did my first review in 2015 and was blown away with the app. It's now 2019 and I have been paying unlimited corrections to have my spelling errors corrected. The app not only allows me to make spelling errors, but it will occasionally add additional errors on top of what I have already made. 😑 I Don't need help looking like an idiot I can definitely do that on my own. Please fix these bugs I am paying to help be with my English grammar not to help me make these errors.

Lots of bells and whistles added, but annoying bugs aren't being fixed. If you select one of the words suggested by Ginger, a space and a ", the " is added directly after that word, before the space. This is one of many examples. Incorrect capitalisation of suggested words and American English spelling when British English has been selected are other recurring issues.

This keyboard used to work really well, now they want you to pay for a subscription and seems like it intentionally screws up your writing so you fall for their tactics of paying for everything on the internet. It will correct your spelling for 5.00 per month or something like that. It will do other things for 20.00 per month. I would suggest using a different keyboard. I would rather take the time to read what is misspelled like everything. Then correct it.

its good app, allows swipe and write only in one main language...one irritating thing.. its not switching automatically to other language if you are using two or three..you have to select by pressing space bar then predictions of that language works...please try to improve it. other than this its quite good and recommended.

Decent app and less bloatware than many. But autocorrect is awful and the proofreading is wacky. When writing about work it suggested that "taking shots" was more appropriate for the context. Funny, but not helpful. There is no lag at all in this keyboard, but the extreme slowness of correcting every single word is no bueno.

For the most part I like this app, though there is an annoying glitch on One Note where it will not allow a space to be created between paragraphs as other keyboards, such as Grammaly, do. However, the most irritating thing, is the constant request in the area where suggestions are made, at the start and finish of using the keyboard, to rate this app! So only inclined to give 2 stars as a result.😝

Exceptional keyboard. After trying 25 different keyboards in the play store. I found this one and it was exactly what I wanted and actually does what it says. I usually don't write reviews early but I have been using this keyboard for about 3 days and it has been perfect. Got all the features and they actually work. Thanks to the developer for an outstanding app. I hope you keep it like it is it's perfect.

Overall good. Sometimes, it force corrects a word (like names) even if I delete the correction multiple times. Prediction words need to improve. It tends to show forms of the same words typed incorrectly rather than also showing words similar to the one typed.

Ok keyboard. It needs a few small tweaks, like auto spacing after using a comma or period. It would be good to change the long tap length for the alt characters. Auto cap would be useful when starting a new sentence. The ability to switch language via space bar nice. But if I pick a punctuation character, like an apostrophe, I slide into the space bar and change languages by accident. Also, I wrote this to get rid if the annoying Love Ginger review ad every time the keyboard comes up! 🤪

I really wish I could use this app. It works very well for English but it does absolutely nothing in some other languages (eg. Portuguese). I also prefer alternative keyboards that support bilingual typing. It has too many extras (games) so it feels clutuered, might be solved by paying more.

Tried many spelling checkers since I have big fingers trying to type as intelligently as I can... this system is FANTASTIC, so fast, usable in email and my Samsung Notes app, even searches in Firefox on Android ver. 8.0.0, a Samsung S8... Now I won't appear, by my mis-types, to be such an uneducated dunce. (I used this Ginger Keyboard even on this note.) It also has KEY SIZE adjustments and ARROWS... But no abbreviations (hint hint) for repetitive long entries like addresses, or email addresses

I've used many keyboards before and frequently download this one to see how it has improved. Glad I did. Love the features it provides, the amazing corrections and the minigames. Unfortunately, it also lacks a lot of customization that could greatly benefit it. For example, since the smart bar is available, can you give users the option to move the emoji key to it instead of on the main keyboard? This would allow the space bar to be longer and help avoid hitting it on accident. Great app!

Everything was turned on. I read the reviews. It gave me grammer and spelling suggestions and then when i clicked on them it put it in a totally different stop in between word far from where the mistake was. Terrible. I do not recommend.

Very nice overall. wish there was a way to change the layout of the keyboard. that way I can post all of my most used symbols on 1 page. I would even throw a couple bucks at it. That would really make 8t 5 stars, since some of the symbols sewm haphazardly placed. Like having both symbol pages have numbers on them...despite having them on main keyboard. I bet this would be a popular feature if it became available

It's a cool keyboard. Though I switched yo swift keyboard and have used it for years now. I'm now getting my hands on ginger and hope it works better. Especially to be able to keep my own "words" and not pop up what I don't need. will give a 5 it if works better and faster. But still looks good with the update. thanks

This is just based on my experience with the app thus far. I do like the theme customization and that if I'm feeling just a tad bored in the middle of writing that I can play a game or two without even exiting the writing app. I also appreciate that I can actually use your product with my current phone unlike Grammarly. I also like a few other features as well.

for free app it's absolutely all right, however I don't feel that they're living up to what they think they are to make it worthy of a paid version. text guessing is mediocre comparatively, they Ransom every spelled word f as if it's worth a dollar, there dictionary keeps grabbing my misspelled words and adding it as default, and the voice to text button is a press to hold, rather than a main button. it also appears on the screen when it's not available, or when Google moves it.

Spelling and grammar aren't my strong suits and I also fat finger keys a lot, so the correction suggestions of this keyboard are invaluable to me. Back when I first used it this feature was free, and I was disappointed when it got locked behind a pay wall, but eventually I sucked it up and paid for the upgrade and it is so worth it.

I used Ginger for a while in college, and have ping ponged between keyboards since then... but I've come to my senses and gone back to the best of the best. It's fast, customizable, simple, and gives me quick and easy access to all of the things I could possibly want out of a keyboard. 10/10, would recommend.

Grammar checking seems to work okay but minus one star because I can't select alternate skin tone emojis and minus another star because you have to pay a monthly subscription for correcting grammar and still have to see ads. Updated: Maybe just minus half a star for the emoji issue but I'm still not keen on the idea of having to pay a subscription for the correction feature and then still having to pay an additional fee to get rid of ads. Seems like paying any subscription should automatically get rid of ads.

for the most part Ginger works well but there are still some things that need to be worked into the program. such as being able to make corrections to what ginger considered an error or an improper phrase in speech. Even if the adjustments can be made to the individual's application and saved as a preference would go a long way towards helping the repeating errors that it may show in a piece of writing. All in all I continue to use the application cuz it goes a long way towards helping me edit

Been using this keyboard for a while new version seems to work better updating score. Id like to see more emoji and moveable keys, I often hit the period instead of the space bar. Updating review 2019 has simplified ui for spelling and grammar and seems pretty accurate, I wish it wasn't a monthly subscription though. I have used the paid service for a year and loved it. Just prefer a 1 time payment vs monthly.
