FEATURES

• Beautiful Design
The native design is refined and improved with delightful animations and a clear shift key. Subtle translucency, click sounds and an automatic contextual dark mode make Crimson feel right at home on your iOS device. The Smart Spacebar provides access to punctuation marks at just the right moments. You can even customize Crimson with different tint colors.

• Smart Predictions
Crimson is powered by Adaptxt, an intelligent prediction engine that learns the words you use and predicts words youre likely to write next. You can even use multiple languages simultaneously, and Crimson will automatically switch between them¹. Learning happens locally on your device, without information being transmitted over the internet. Your privacy is important to us.

• Custom Emoji Keyboard
Crimson comes with its own emoji keyboard, which makes switching to and picking emoji lightning fast. Your skin tone selection is automatically applied to all emoji in the keyboard.

• Passive Correction
Forgot a space or made a typo? Instead of unsolicited auto corrections, Crimson suggests corrections above keys. Just like predictions, swipe up corrections displayed in red to insert them. Still prefer auto correction? This can be enabled in the settings.

Pros and cons of Crimson Keyboard app for iPhone and iPad

Crimson Keyboard app good for

Every keyboard that I tried has some bugs, so as this one but if you are searching for the best third party keyboard look no further. It would be amazing to have additional swipe features to delete faster, etc..

Very very good keyboard. Easy to use and good predictivity !! I like

A lil bit buggy but if they fix these bugs its on its way to get the best Keyboard in Store!!!

In future i would maybe only like to have a possibility to make the key animations faster. Otherwise perfect! The concept is the best ! And the simultaneous use of different languages is what I was always missing in the stupid original apple keyboard .

I recently switched from BB OS 10 to iOS and searched for a BE-like keyboard. Crimson is what I found and love. Fluent keyboard with predictions that learn your vocabulary and perfect corrections, as many languages as you want on one keyboard and emojis! To make it perfect, maybe add a tool like swipes election to crimson. There is no other keyboard I am using on my iPhone!

Good concept. If it learns my words well as I go it will be excellent. One nitpick: if I put i then hit space it should capitalize it automatically but it doesnt

Some bad moments

Do you even test your ******** app? Type something and press 123-Button -> Enjoy crash

If Crimson Keyboard is used with iOS 9, it will not come up during several critical situations, where you need to fill authentication fields, e.g. when trying to authenticate on the WiFi Startpage of your hotel and you need to provide a username, the keyboard will simply not be displayed for the username field.

The keyboard doesnt work. When trying to select it, it just dissapears and switches to my next keyboard. Also, claims to support multi languages, but only lets you select one at a time.

I could not even get it to switch over to the keyboard fix right away ..

Doesnt work. Just crashes. My phone is totally up to date with updates. Cant recommend as I havent been able to use it since I bought it. iPhone 5C.

Great multilingual support, but auto-correct is lost in then process...
