GO Keyboard 2.30

Customize your phone and use a stylish keyboard for writing messages and taking notes
You can achieve all the basic functions with your stock keyboard, but if you really want to customize your phone and make it easier to write text messages, then you really need to use a keyboard app.

GO Keyboard is one of the best and most complex apps you can find on the market. It virtually has everything you need to customize the app and add plugins to make it even more complex.

Sleek and nice interface

We've come across quite a few keyboard apps and many of them launch with tutorials showing new users how to access their features and use the app to the fullest.

But Go Keyboard doesn't have that, it only comes with some instructions for new users but no tutorial. Still, it has a menu that lets you make various changes to the interface, but it does need some setting up.

Firstly, you'll need to pick language packages that you want to download to your phone. You can also check out the sore filled with themes and pick the ones that you want to try out.

Customize the app to your liking

The store features pictures and a preview of the new theme, while many of them are free of charge and can be downloaded in seconds from Google Play Store.

A saved theme isn't automatically added, so you'll have to apply it yourself. You can also try out some plugins, including ones that provide you with multiple layouts for your tablet or some that change your voice and send it to your friends to surprise them. Another plugin lets you input language that can be transferred into a very cool fantasy text font.

It has all the main tools that you might want from a keyboard, like suggested words, auto-correction and auto-space. You can also enable auto-capitalization of words at the start of sentences and save new words in your own dictionary.

Change the font of text you input

The app actually scans the font used by other applications installed on your device and gives you the possibility to use one of those fonts when you input text. You can also enable sounds and pick from one of the many suggestions provided inside the app.

You can enable sound or vibration on key press and adjust the volume to meet your preferences. The app also lets you adjust key height and font, together with keypress popup. Gestures and effects are also available, the app lets you slide the keyboard in order to add text and it also comes with many effects for achieving that.

The interface is really nice with plenty of themes to choose from and effects, including for sliding and the arc.

It needs many permissions from your phone and the developer posted a message saying it doesn't record words that you've inputed.

Consumption isn't high, it won't drain your battery but it does consume more than your stock keyboard.

It's not completely free, some themes need to be purchased.

It should work on devices running Android version 2.1 or later, making it accessible to many users.
