Minuum 3.4.4

Try a minimal and quite ingenious keyboard for your Android device
The creativity of developers is really put to a test when they're required to design keyboard apps, especially for Android phones. There are many ways in which you can impress users, but most of all they're looking for a sleek design, unique features and plenty of themes to choose from.

Minuum is a really nice keyboard, filled with all sort of themes and features that help you customize the app.

Sleek design with many themes

The app launches with a really comprehensive tutorial, providing instructions on how to use the app and access all its features. Minuum needs some setting up before you can properly enjoy the keyboard and start using it for writing texts.

The app will guide you through the whole process, which includes selecting languages and themes. It comes with a limited number of languages, which makes it inaccessible to users from certain countries.

Still, developers of keyboard apps constantly update their list of languages, so it's only a matter of time until the app would be available for other users as well.

Apply themes and start using the app

Minuum lets you change the color of the keyboard, but not the theme itself which is not that intricate. It's no necessarily a disadvantage considering that the app really focuses on ease of use.

You can adjust the size of the app, minimize it to view another way in which you can type text with all letters arranged in a flowing line on the bottom of the screen.

Erase fast by sliding your finger to the left, this feature also gives you access to TTS and space. There's the option of enabling sounds and vibration for whenever you touch the keyboard.

Extend the free trial

It also comes with emoticons and sloppy typing that automatically corrects misspellings and checks the grammar of the text that you've written. The bonus panels give you an extra toolbar at the bottom of the screen, you can have Minuum provide shortcuts to various features.

The app comes with a 30 day free trial and some options of extending it. You can earn days by downloading certain apps that Minuum recommends, but each of them has a different bonus. There's also the option of simply buying the unlimited version for 3.31$, but you won't get any pro features.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The interface is really nice, it comes with plenty of themes and colors to pick from. In addition, it's nice that users can minimize it and change its whole appearance.

Function8
 

It takes some getting used to, it doesn't seem to come with a personal dictionary and it's also missing some extra features.

Security8
 

It shouldn't record personal data but it does need many permissions from your phone, some unconnected to its features.

Battery6
 

Consumption is quite high for a keyboard app, so keep an eye on resources when using this app.

Price8
 

The free version has a 30 trial, while the unlimited version costs 3.31$.

Compatibility8
 

It should work on devices running Android version 4.0 or later, making it inaccessible to some users.
