I enjoy this keyboard knowing that I don't need to worry about data collection as much. The increased typos are getting smoothed out through practice. Biggest issue, though, is the fact that pressing and holding the backspace will semi-regularly delete space in front of the cursor; it's too easy to try to delete one sentence and end up losing the first half of the second, or for the paragraph formatting to be ruined. Ultimately, a good keyboard. Please just fix this issue. Thank you.

Simple Keyboard has a good customizable layout. To access settings, long press the comma key. It has no dedicated voice to text key option, no spell checker, but for people who don't want those options, it's a good keyboard that types smoothly. It doesn't harvest or share data, and that's a top priority for me. The app doesn't take up much memory space. Clean non-fussy layout. For writers who need help with spelling, keep a dictionary handy.

Rated 4 because it is free; great in landscape; BUT need to be able to make it about 30-40% larger in portrait, so can easily type with both thumbs. I would pay money for that.I cannot find any on google playstore that works like that. Used to have Big Buttons keyboard and (delux), but only available to download on other sites(possibly a security issue?). Dev replied, to try resizing, but even at max size, not big enough, for me, and galaxy A53, for excellent single finger typing- in portrait.
