Keypurr Feedback

Status
Not open for further replies.
@jszziette No apologies needed - everybody is different. But you didn't say what's so frustrating about Keypurr (you only gave details about why one particular keyboard is good but didn't really compare specifics).

Oh sorry I left that out, jkanos! Actually the thing that frustrated me so much WAS the layout. Having two letters on the same key was difficult for me. I just couldn't get it down pat and I honestly tried! It just seemed really weird. Also, I use voice a lot and I don't think it had a voice feature. Voice is amazingly accurate for me on Better Keyboard and also on the Smart Keyboard.

I'm sure that Keypurr is a great keyboard and well, that's why they make Chocolate and Vanilla and Strawberry. I'm big on Chocolate and can take or leave Vanilla and can't stand Strawberry! LOL

Go figure. I hope my feedback has helped you understand my reasoning more.

First I almost never have to flick to type English words (no flicks for letters on this sentence and probably for the rest of this post).

But I do use symbols and numbers a lot so I've got it down to a science. Here's how: do a short gesture - start from the key you want to flick from, slide to the key above or below and release. Always works! (Exclamation mark and brackets here on 1st try!)

So really, the use of the word "flick" is actually the wrong word - "short slide" would be more appropriate.

(Btw, not a single slide needed for this whole post, and not a single miss on the punctuations! Love this!)

Edit: not a single slide needed for letters in this post, that is

Thanks for the tip. I gave it another try and getting to the secondary letters/symbols is a lot easier.

The moment many of you have been waiting for is here: a full-featured free trial version of Keypurr is available on Android Market. Download it as soon as possible because it expires on January 10 regardless of when it's installed.

And don't forget to post your feedback here - we're listening.

Too bad for those who are slow and did not see this until the 11th or 12th or Feb, March, etc. Most comments are positive, but without a trial, no go.

The demise of the 24 hour policy hinders developer sales. Developers must have a better way to trial, not just a "should have been here yesterday" program.

Any chance for another trial for us slow pokes?

I think the free trial is still available on the market.

@Rusty49:
We don't have a free trial because the current Market return policy allows users enough time to determine if a product they purchase is right for them. As you experienced, the 24hr window was more than enough time for you do fall in love with Keypurr. When that policy changes we will make sure that there is a way for users to try Keypurr at no cost

24hrs isnt enough time to decide an app is for you imo

And if I actually hit each big key that I want (which is not hard to do at all), I ALWAYS get the word I want (ok, 'for' vs 'got' means I have to remember to hit the candidate strip when I want 'got' but that's accurate and no extra keystrokes - 'good' vs 'food' is the only other common word I've found that I need to do this). That is much better than my experience with SlideIT or Swype where I have to select from the list much more often (and I can't find the word I want on the list at all much more often).

I find that I'm getting in the habit of swiping up on the P in 'put', and haven't had any problems. The only trouble I've had is if there's a tiny bit of lag on my phone (which happens sometimes), it'll skip the first few letters. But that's on any keypad, and definitely not a Keypurr issue.

I've looked at the tutorial videos, and several pictures of keypurr, and i've got to say that I don't think i'd like the voice button on the keyboard. I haven't tried this app yet, but by first look the keyboard appears very minimalistic, which i like. if you keep adding buttons you'll have to reduce the size of the other buttons, which defeats the whole purpose of this keyboard!

If voice is going to be added I'd say add it on the symbols keyboard, or as a swype command. Or have an option to disable this. Because so far the minimal keyboard looks great!

WOW!!!! So far I love it! Amazingly accurate and SOOO fast to type on.

I'm impressed!!! :D

One thing...can you tell me if it is compatible with Handsent. It seems my notification ringtone defaulted back to the stock message sound.

Any idea why?

I've already recced it to a friend here and he d/lded it and is trying it now. We'll be spreading the word for sure!

Thanks again for the free trial.

:)

I just downloaded the trial, I've been waiting anxiously :D

So far, I love the keyboard. The only problem seems to be with me; I can't grasp the concept of the double-lettered keys. So I end up hitting the key right beside it instead of the key I'm supposed to hit. I will continue testing and report back in a couple days of experience :p

Not giving up yet! The biggest pros I see so far: Function keys, LOVE these; directional keys, LOVE this as well; and finally the delete whole last word key.

I still have to get used to the Flicking motion. So as Jazziette said, can you give us a little clue on how to properly flick? Because sometimes when trying to flick up on the enter key to get into symbols, I either end up hitting the enter key, or hitting the backspace.
