For the most part, I love it! It's a great app that lets me customize my keyboard with a picture I want. I've used it for years. But there is a weird issue now where sometimes after using my keyboard, it glitches and stays up after using it? It usually takes me attempting to type with it for it to fix the issue. I would love to see that the issue is looked into!!

The hold-key function seems a little bit slower than other keyboards but it might just be my settings. Otherwise, the fact that you can lay your keyboard in literally any format, the ease of doing slide texting, being able to set a custom theme, and being able to customize your shortcut menu makes this an absolute must. Definitely good for Google users!

Keep coming back to Gboard. it's the best for me. Responsive, flexible, and stable. (2025 update): Gboard is now unusable in Gmail if your message is long. Keyboard overlaps text and you can't see what you are typing. I researched the issue, not alone. Changing system don't size *sometimes* fixes the issue, but it comes back. It affects multiple apps, including typing this update. Time to find a replacement.
