Keyman for iPhone & iPad version 1.4 released

Published by jkirkham on

We've just released update version 1.4 of Keyman for iPhone and iPad, here's the run down of what's new:

Key Preview

Now when you touch a key, a popup preview will show (phone only, not tablet), so you can see the key your finger is touching. We think this really helps, as on the smaller phone keyboards your finger can often cover the entire key.

Keyboard Version and Help Documentation

You can now view the version of each installed keyboard, as well as link through to the keyboard help documentation.

  • Default European Latin keyboard upgraded to latest version (1.2)
  • Keyboards can now be re-downloaded if the font fails to download
  • Keyboard is now reloaded after updating/re-installing a custom keyboard to allow any changes to appear immediately
