I used to love this keyboard more until recently. I guess they changed the text box and added options in it that took up all the space. So instead of the box showing my complete text message to someone so I could proofread it. Now it chops it down in a small box and I have to scroll up and down to reread what I typed in the box before I can send it. It's awful and annoying. That was difficult to explain. I hope they change it.

If you aren't utilizing all the cool features Gboard has you're missing out! Seriously - hit the four little squares button in the top left corner and be amazed! My top 4 include: 1. The translation tool that instantly translates whatever you type into the language you request 2. Ability to pin stuff in the clipboard so it's always saved 3. The scan text tool - check it out, seriously. 4. All the customization - colors, themes, size, order, etc. I'm so impressed 👍 No complaints 10/10

Horrible update! Not sure what they did, but this once-reliable app is now a nightmare. I am constantly deleting and re-typing words because I'm hitting the wrong keys. Did they change the size or positions of the keys? Something changed. And voice-to-text...forget about starting it in the middle of a sentence. It only works to start a sentence. Not user-friendly at all. Disappointing. Going back to Microsoft keyboard.
