===We decided to give you the options to choose Better Keyboard 7.x and Better Keyboard 8.x (or both) based on your preference. Better keyboard 7.x and 8.x are based on two incompatible versions of android keyboard, therefore, it's very difficult to make 8.x work like the 7.x and vice versa===
This is now an unlock key for Better keyboard 7.x and 8.x. You need to download either BK 7.x or 8.x (or both) and keep this installed in order to unlock all the features of Better keyboard. This key is really small in size and it will not in any ways affect the performance of your phone.

This keyboard is junk people. If you wanna pay for an app, which a keyboard was the first one i bought, cause i couldnt stand the stock or free versions of any of them. Thumb Keyboard is the Shiznit. Its a strange style, that takes a little getting used to but Superb. It puts a gap in the middle, making it easier to type actually. And has so many customizable options i was smiling for an hour after dling it. You can do Dif setups for Portrait and Landscape mode, and heres the kicker ( you can change the size of the text, and keys, ie making them bigger) So less screw ups, i can speed type like a mofo now. For my first purchased app, i am completely Satiated. 6* app if i could rate it so...
((BTW, every keyboard i tried cept for Thumb, looks pretty much the same))

Reason: add on
Everyone has their own opinions. I love better keyboard 8 and highly recommend it.
I like being able to change the key colors to match the colors in better terminal emulator pro, I like being able to adjust the key size, the accents above the keys so I don't have to hit the symbol button, and you don't have to hit the keys exactly it adjusts for that and prints the correct key.
I bought this through the Android Market a few months ago and now it's only available in the Amazon App store. Unfortunately, it looks as though there is no support for people who purchased it through the Market to download it again without paying again. Given this situation, I would not recommend that anyone purchase this until the developer makes things right with those of us who already purchased it. If you purchase it and the dev disappears from Amazon, you will be in my shoes. It's a great keyboard, but Thumb Keyboard is excellent also and is what I currently use. It can be customized.

I bought the upgraded Better Keyboard when it was still available on the Android Market.
My biggest beef has been that it frequently doubles up taps on my low-end Optimus T, probably because the processor isn't keeping up very well. The problem is that the auto-correct doesn't see the doubled letters as a common typo, like it does when you hit the letter next to your intended target. So it can correctly figure out that "teayong" should be "testing", but it can't guess what you mean by "testting" (it guesses "grafting").
Now that they've been kicked off the markets (for enabling copyright violations in skins, is what I hear, but that doesn't make a lot of sense), I don't guess I'll be able to get a fix for this glitch. Also, I got the BK8 version -- I can't get the BK7 version now, to see if it works better on my phone.
Most of the time, though, I use Graffiti -- even though it hasn't been optimized at all for the Android (even the help screens still have Palm-specific commands like "Short Cut") and is missing non-text special characters. The biggest problem with Graffiti is the carriage return... my friends have now become accustomed to me sending a truncated messa
ge, because the single down-left stroke for a CR (which is also part of letters like that "g" there) sends the SMS!
Better Keyboard: You need this Keyboard.
