IPA Keyboard: IPA Alphabet for Negative User Reviews

✓ Waste of moneyNo explanation of where the IPA symbols where on the keyboard other then press the latin letter so then trial and error to find them. Once found, you could not slide to the required symbol.Book dreamerVersion: 1.4

✓ UnusableI just bought this as it would have been really handy for my job. But while long-pressing on keys does show an array of symbols associated with them, sliding across the array causes it to disappear and nothing is typed. Very frustrating, and a waste of money.TimBook2Version: 1.5.1

✓ UselessThis is a complete waste of money. It simply doesnt work with my ipad pro.Tim BirkettVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Let me down the moment I used itIt’s missing way too many symbols for it to be useful for IPA. The first sounds I looked for weren’t there..BaffleBlendVersion: 1.5.6

✓ Needs WorkThis is the only keyboard that I have found that is ok for IPA characters. It works but it's not a standalone keyboard. When inputting text I have to switch between the iOS keyboard and this one. There's a lot of potential with this keyboard and hopefully we'll see some improvements soon..AmericanCriticVersion: 1.2

✓ Waste of money, cannot enable sound for alphabetNot worth losing money..Rinzler38Version: 1.5.7

✓ Needs Improvement!Considering the fact that this app has no competitors on iPad it is understandable that it isn't quite right. The app advertises the complete International Phonetic Alphabet but there are some missing sounds, notably the alveolar flap/tap. In addition to the missing symbols, there are also issues with crashing and smoothness. Overall I would recommend the app to a linguistics student in need of a relatively quick way to type the IPA. An iPad Air 2 user..CoreyBenedictVersion: 1.2

✓ Not intuitiveThe app seriously suffers from lumping together phonemes that are not related, by following a English speaker's intuition of where things are supposed to be, such as having to hold down the letter <t> to find \θ\ just because in english it is spelled as <th>, yet \ð\ is filed in <d> because of how it looks...this is ridiculous. My advice to the dev(s) behind this app is to pair only the voiced and unvoiced consonants and organize them into the shape of the official IPA chart (bilabials first, followed by labio-dentals, etc) and to separate the vowels and organize them into the IPA vowel trapezoid. I would refer the dev(s) to the OSX app IPApalette as an example of how to lay things out. If the dev(s) reorganize things so that it is actually intuitive to a linguist, then the app will be worth quite a lot, but currently it is a pain to use, and it is still unfortunately easier to use X-sampa over it..ThatGoofyGuyVersion: 1.1

✓ TRASHIf you like to see what you’re working on, DONT BUY THIS APP. Keyboard somehow creeps up until it takes over your entire screen. You have to switch to the regular keyboard just to make it go away and it changes your font to a random one every time you type. Would be easier to just copy and paste than use this nonsense..STINKYANNOYINGAPPVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Where is the IPA? It’s a standard keyboard.This is crap. Don’t waste your money..584366886Version: 1.5.7

✓ Doesn’t work in forScoreI need to give this one star because though I love the functionality of the layout and wish I could use this keyboard… it doesn’t work well in forScore. Each time I close and reopen the keyboard it creeps up higher and higher until the whole screen is taken over and I have to close and reopen the app… Im sad I spend 6 dollars on this app and it doesn’t work for me..DrinkhoneyVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Crashes when swipingNewest iOS system. The keyboard crashes each time I attempt to swipe to reach a character like the velar nasal or uvular nasal. If I only need to swipe across one character, like to get the velar nasal, there is a chance it could output it after briefly crashing and resuming. But if the character is any further, it looks like the keyboard would just instantly crash, switch back to the system default keyboard, and output nothing. Could this maybe be fixed soon?.RethliopuksVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Awesome but weird keyboard layout & missing symbolsJust why? Are the keys SO big? And you're also missing some symbols..OdinE55Version: 1.5.6

✓ Waste of moneyMany of the symbols are too tiny and can’t be made larger. I was not able to recreate IPA flashcards on quizlet using this keyboard because many symbols that should be the size of letters were a tenth of the size..Jeisonc83Version: 1.5.7
