Privacy
We know the things that you type on your phone are personal, so we’ve designed Gboard to keep your private information private.

What Gboard sends to Google:
• Gboard sends your searches to Google’s web servers to give you search results.
• Gboard also sends usage statistics to Google to let us know which features are used most often and to help us understand problems if the app crashes.
• If you use Gboard’s microphone, voice input will be sent to Google for transcription.

What Gboard doesn’t send to Google:
• Other than your searches and voice inputs, Gboard doesn't send anything you type to Google, whether it’s a password or chat with a friend.
• To help you with spelling and to predict searches you might be interested in, Gboard will store the words you type on your device. This data is not accessible by Google or by any apps, and can be cleared at any time.
• If you’ve turned on contacts search in Gboard search settings, this allows Gboard to search the contacts on your device so that you can easily share. None of these queries is sent to Google.

Good, much better than apples keyboard, but has an annoying cursor glitch.

Sometimes when repositioning the cursor by dragging on the spacebar to the right a little too fast, it gets a mind of its own and frustratingly keeps automatically scrolling to the end, but when I move the cursor elsewhere by selecting somewhere in the text to try and stop it, it crazily keeps trying to scroll, until I scroll to the left again with the spacebar. If I don't notice because I'm trying to type fast and start editing text, it writes letters backwards or messes random things up.

I'm not even sure why auto scroll is even a thing in the first place, it seems kinda dumb (like, if a physical keyboard did that I'd think it was broken) If it's an intended feature, at the very least it should switch itself off when it reaches the end or the cursor is repositioned.

Better Than the IOS Keyboard

Overall I would recommend getting this app. After my current use of the app for about a month, there have been no times were I have wished I had the standard IOS Keyboard. There are no issues with the app itself or the Keyboard that stand out to me.

Being able the change the background image was the big draw in for me after seeing a friend use the app. The gifs, faces and drawings are commonly used by me and the slide typing is an effective way of speeding up my typing while using only one hand however I find it faster to type normally when able to use two hands. While typing in horizontal mode, the extra buttons made available like the move right and left buttons are a help as well.

In the end it's a good app and would recommend it to anyone. It dose what the standard keyboard dose plus a little bit extra here and there. Good job Google.

Almost Perfect

Ok so it’s so close to being perfect but three things keep it from being perfect.

1. The app. The app is pretty good apart from the fact it doesn't go from vertical to horizontal. This creates an issue when using the keyboard themes. You can't turn it in its side so it doesn't show you what it looks like when the screen is horizontal. This means when using an image as the theme it's near impossible for you to work out if it will look the way you want it to.

2. Swapping keyboards. This is more of a nitpick but it's stupid how you can't instantly swap to say, Japanese keyboard, then back to Gboard. You instead have to go 'next keyboard' and then select the right keyboard if it's wrong.

3. This is the worst one by far though. The keyboard can't keep up with my fingers as well as the iOS keyboard can meaning when typing long things it often will skip a word space, full stop or letter. This is particularly bad in Google Docs. This makes Gboard UNUSABLE in Google Docs. This occasionally happens in other apps as well.

Other then that I love the GIFs, instant access to Google and the slide typing. Thank you
