FAQ

Why do I have to Allow Full Access to use app?

You don’t need to enable Allow Full Access to use the whole app. It works fine out of the box, but you’ll only be able to use the default theme without keypad tap sounds. You only have to enable Allow Full Access if you want to use the other colour theme and hear the keyboard tap sounds.
Your sensitive data and keystrokes are safe as the app does not store any information on any external server.

Why is the app not free?

Yes I know a lot of apps on the App Store these days are free, but most of these apps have tricky ways of making you pay to continue using them or unlock certain features. When you buy Nkyea Keyboard for $1.99 there are no hidden trickery to let you pay more for any features. You pay for all the features upfront and it helps me pay the bills.

Will you make Nkyea Keyboard for other platforms?

I have no plans for other platforms.
