Excellent in almost every way except, it would be nice to adjust the size of the text field. Currently it's at 3 lines you can view and some of my texts run long so if I go back to change something, it's hard to locate trying to scroll such a tiny space. Another line or 2 would be amazing but I don't see why you couldn't make it adjustable to the point of filling the whole top of the screen. I'd rather be in convinced to have to scroll the keyboard away to read a previous text to have more space

The keyboard is a good alternative to the default. I mostly use glide to type and this option is a real letdown. Sometimes the keyboard does not recognise that I am gliding across letters and so only selects the last letter that I end up on. Also, the haptic feedback could be a tad bit heavier, kind of like my default keyboard. I love the ability to customize the keyboard. That feature is a must-keep.

Very easy to use, good preference settings. Keyboard is easy to see and use. I like how I can easily access typing then switch to emojis. Great experience! Previously, I had Samsung keyboard. I switched to Gboard because the Samsung keyboard kept making mistakes on it's own. It would jump and skip around, delete my saved messages and file words or lines on it's own. It was awful! So glad my son told me about Gboard!
