Been a loyal user for 11 years. But surprisingly Google keyboard has been surpassed by the Samsung keyboard. The swipe word prediction algorithm has become horrible, and the voice to text has become worse and worse over the years. I started to get very frustrated over the last year so I decided to give the Samsung keyboard a try being it's already built in and it's way more customizable, plus it's got innovations that Google keyboard doesn't have. I'm moving on, thanks for the memories Google.

Gboard used to be amazing, but it isn't anymore. I cannot stand how frequently it completely changes out words I have typed because of whatever stupid AI they have implemented with it. It will change what I have written sometimes several words back. The key board no longer learns habitual spelling, and when it swaps a word on you it doesn't give the option to revert it back on the autocorrect bar. Even just in this review it changed numerous words: Board to Key, How to Why, Change to Charge ??

Gboard is the preinstalled keyboard on my Moto Z Force edition Droid phone. It's a great app, it's incredibly smart. The slide to text feature works flawlessly. Wouldn't replace it with anything else. Update: Many years after my very old review of this keyboard, I still have yet to consider any other keyboard app on the market on any devices I have ever owned. The customization is great. The fine-tuning of the features and predictability of the auto corrections is top-notch and easy to perfect.
