I've been spending a while searching for a good Twitter app for WinMo in order to find something that fits me. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck searching for others' advice, so I began combing the Internet basically trying out every app that caught my eye. I noticed a bunch of people on the XDA forum asking questions about the best Twitter app and I made this topic in hopes of helping others out.
Anyway, below are my assessment of all the Twitter apps I tried. I'll give a summary first for anyone who doesn't want to read through, but after that, read on.
Summary: If anybody is looking for my opinion on the best Twitter based on various attributes, here it is:
Best Appearance - moTweets
Best Speed - TouchTwit
Best Lightweight - Twobile
Best Compromise - Twikini
As for me, I prefer just using the HTC Twitter in TF3D, but when using a ROM without Sense 2.5, I do prefer MoTweets. For everyone else who don't want any of the ones I mentioned, read on, and I hope you find what you're looking for.
1) moTweets - This is probably one of the best WinMo Twitter apps around. The visuals is great (probably the best looking Twitter app I've seen) and the usability is fantastic. Doing anything simply requires you to double tap on a tweet (or tap an icon to tweet yourself). Unfortunately, the disadvantage to moTweet is that there is a noticeable bit of lag, but nothing bad. The free version of the app also comes with ads.
2) PockeTwit - This is a fairly good app. The appearance is a bit unappealing, but the speed appears to be good. I do not like the usability very much, though. In order to do things like favorite, reply, or just tweet, you have to drag the screen to the left or to the right, which can be a bit troublesome. The program does come with a QuickPost icon, but it would have been better if it was integrated into the app itself, in my opinion.
3) Tiny Twitter - Based on the name alone, one might surmise that the program was designed as a lightweight app. Something for speed and simplicity. At least, that was what I had presumed.
Well, the app certainly is simple. There are no visual frills and tweets are listed in small boxes allowing for many, many tweets to be displayed on the screen at a time. All commands are set in the 'Menu' button and there doesn't appear to be a context menu or double tap menu. On the other hand, Tiny Twitter just isn't very fast. Drag-scrolling has noticeable lag and trying to do a long drag-scroll makes it even more obvious. It isn't so slow as to be a deal breaker, though, so if simplicity is necessary for you, then Tiny Twitter isn't a bad deal.
P.S. On quirk I noticed about Tiny Twitter. When it had updated with new tweets, my phone had a small sound go off (not very distinctive), and my phone began vibrating like crazy with nothing to indicate why. For a moment, I had thought it was about to brick itself for some reason.
Then the vibrating stopped and a message popped up saying I had new tweets.
4) TouchTwit - A very slick looking Twitter app and very speedy. I do mean very speedy too as going through tweets or moving from screen to screen was just lightning fast. Performing commands requires you to drag the screen to the right, but doing it here is easy and quick, so I don't mind too much.
5) Twikini - Twikini is not the best looking nor does it have the best usability. Sad to say, it doesn't have the best speed either. However, I can compliment it as probably the best compromise between all three. It is fairly fast, the visuals works well, and the usability is pretty nice. Tweeting is as simple as hitting the 'Tweet' button, replying is done by tapping on a tweet then hitting 'Reply'. Every other available command can be done through the 'Menu' button.
Only disadvantage to this is that it costs $4.95.
6) Twaddle - This is a very awkward app.
Unlike the other Twitter apps on the list, signing in to Twitter requires you to launch a web browser to enter your Twitter account info in order to grant access to Twaddle, and get a pin which you must then input into Twaddle in order to complete authorization.
This awkwardness continues into the program. For example, to drag the screen down to look at more replies, you have to drag the screen, and then let go before the app will actually move. Alternative, you can use the scroll bar to move, but it's not very finger friendly. Furthermore, commands are split between the 'Menu' button, and holding down on a tweet until the context menu pops up, but curiously, there appears to be no obvious way to favorite. Even more strangely, double tapping on a tweet causes the programs to slowly scroll up.
The appearance is fairly nice and the speed is good, but personally, I feel that the app is just too awkward.
7) Quakk - In all honesty, I can not recommend this Twitter app.
The appearance is poor (with oversized tweets) and there appears to be a distinct lack of commands. In fact, the only commands I could find at all was Reply, Direct Message, Open Link, and Tweet. Furthermore, the app seems to be very buggy.
Hitting the 'Update' button occasionally causes the app to crash and trying to Tweet/Reply will result in this small window (that overlaps text; this may be a result of my Fuze's resolution, but I found nothing about system requirements on Quakk's website). Fortunately, the 'Direct Msg' command doesn't seem to have the same problem. Unfortunately, that's because the 'Direct Msg' command doesn't seem to work at all.
Overall, I would rate Quakk very poorly at the moment, but it is listed as an 'open source' app, so it may get better later on.
8) Twitula - Twitula is an app with nice visuals (including interesting transition effects) and it seems to be feature-rich. Performing commands on a tweet is as simple as tapping on the Tweeter's profile pic while there is also a 'Tweet' and 'Menu' button for other necessary commands.
The only issue I noticed with this is speed. Drag-scrolling is very slow and you notice lag in other parts of the app too. Furthermore, the app seems to open all links in PIE despite me having Opera Mobile as my default.
9) mTweets - One of the more simple Twitter apps on the list. In fact, it seem to match Tiny Twitter in simplicity, and the speed is certain better.
Furthermore, it has one of the most unique interfaces of any Twitter app I tried. Tapping on a tweet doesn't highlight it or bring up a context menu, but it displays a new window showing a series of icons which indicates commands, such as reply or direct msg. The tweets are also contained in small windows that looks almost like frames, which is a bit disorientating.
However, the app is missing some common commands (favorite, for example), and it appears to have stability issues. Frequently, I would find that it would take indefinitely when I try to update or switch to another view, and just updating it would take a very long time. Lastly, scrolling in this app is not easy. You can't drag-scroll and scrolling by scrollbar doesn't move the screen until you let go, which is annoying.
10) Twobile - Another 'simplicity app'.
Twobile has an interface similar to that of Tiny Twitter. Tweets are presented in a 'Excel' manner with the left side naming the Tweeter and the right side containing their status; all of this comes in small lines allowing for many tweets to be displayed.
Unlike Tiny Twitter, the speed of Twobile is much, much better, and it comes with a bit more functionality. In Twobile, you can double tap on a tweet, and it'll bring up a screen containing more information about the tweet, and allow you to perform various commands (including, interestingly enough, a 'Translate' command). This detailed screen also allows you to switch to a newer or older tweet, albeit the transition effect is a bit ugly.
The program also has a context menu containing common commands and an 'Action' button listing all of the available commands. Switching between views (public, friends, etc) is also as simple hitting one of the visible tabs at the bottom.
I can't believe no-one's replied to this thread yet!
I'd just like to thank you for your diligent efforts in trying and testing all those apps - It certainly saved a lot of time.
My only suggestion is perhaps to move this out of the Fuze section and re-post to the General Software section for more visibility.
Keep up the good work
Thank you very much, Phrak. Just trying to help those who may have faced the same frustrations I did.
Anyway, at the time I created this topic, I was thinking largely of my fellow Raphael users, and I may have been a bit shortsighted to not place this in the General section instead to help all WM users. I will try to get this topic flagged and moved by a moderator, though.
MOD EDIT - Moved thread to General discussion, Q&A forum by request of OP
WOW thank you for your recommendations 8525Smart, what an awesome post. I'm testing out MoTweets and loving it at the Mo
ty :thumbsup
Where was this two weeks ago?
Sure wish I'd seen this a couple of weeks ago when I was updating my phone after flashing a new ROM. Currently use Tiny Twitter, but also have PockeTwit installed. Of the two, I prefer Tiny Twitter. However, after reading your reviews am going to give Twobile a try.
Thanks again!!

Thanks for this very useful review of apps.
I've used motweets and pocketwit, and i personally prefer pocketwit for the simple fact that it allows you to using several accounts at the same time.
I have 2 accounts, and at the same time i can see the timeline of both of them, and replying, retweeting, etc. also from both in just a single click.
Motweets is almost perfect, but it's a little laggy and switching from accounts is not that simple as in Pocketwit.
Cheers and sorry for my english
here are the twitter aplicattions that I use:
ceTwit -a simple and fast app.
GPS Twit - an app that post your location over google maps. download WM vervion here
I'm the developer of Twaddle - just wanted to say thanks for having a look at Twaddle and sharing your thoughts. I know this is a bit old, but thought I'd share a couple of responses:

At the time you wrote this I believe Twaddle was the only Twitter application (on WinMo) that used OAuth which negates the requirement for the application to know your username and password. I fully realise how awkward the authorisation process is (and so does Twitter themselves) but I stuck with it as it was well known that Basic Authorisation (ie. Using a username / password) was going to go away. And it did on August 30th which caused many applications to cease to work.
Twitter has rectified the awkwardness of OAuth by introducing xAuth, which the next version of Twaddle supports (see my post on this). With xAuth the username / password are sent only once (ever) over a secure channel. Twitter than grants Twaddle a token that is used for all subsequent communication.

Interesting - I've not had this complaint before, but can certainly see where you're coming from. I'm pretty flat out finishing up version 0.3 but will look into this for 0.4. I presume you're after something where by the screen "moves" as you drag? That shouldn't be too difficult.
Another alternative is that if your phone has a physical up/down key those can be used to scroll one whole tweet at a time.
8525Smart said:

The logic used here is that the right soft key menu is for common options that apply to all tweets (ie. Reply, Send Message, etc) and these also tend to be the more frequently used options (in my usage, anyhow). The context menu is used for options that vary (ie. Opening an URL can only be done on a tweet with a URL in it). This difference is further emphasised in 0.3 where other developers can write different plugins and one of the types of plugins create the context menu items. If you're a developer you may be interested in the post I just wrote on the new plugin system on my blog.

You're right, there isn't a favourite option at this stage. Given the multitude of things to implement, I'd always presumed that favouriting tweets was fairly low on the list, but apparently not. There's no way this would make it into 0.3, but we'll see for 0.4.

Thanks for the review, hopefully you'll check out 0.3 when it's released and see if that fixes your criticisms / you like it more. I'm always open to suggestions, requests and bug reports.
I only occasionally haunt XDA Dev's so a better option might be twitter (@TwaddleWM), email ([email protected]addle.mobi) or commenting on a post over at the Twaddle site

No, thank you for responding! It's always a pleasure to see the developer of applications respond to its users.
I very much appreciate the explanation of why some things work as they do and the info about the upcoming changes. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to try out newer versions of your Twaddle software. The thing is that I no longer use Windows Mobile or even own a WinMo phone anymore, so using your software is pretty much impossible for me.
Nonetheless, it sounds like the program has since improved greatly, and the WinMo community has a well supported app on its hands. Thanks again for responding.
It will not be one of the versions that probably go down in history this 3.10.9, which takes the place of the previous 3.9.17, but, no matter how small, the innovations introduced are numerous and we're not sure appreciated them all.
We start from the section recommended for you. Whether it's app or books (advice on music yet they are not), or even if you are on the homepage of the store, blocking the slice with the Google personalized recommendations you'll notice that at the top there is a new voice, "improve these councils, "which allows us to add people you know to find out their tastes and also receive recommendations based on them (or so says the description of the function). Good theory, too bad that the vast majority of contacts proposed were complete strangers from the other side of the world, with which (we checked) we did not even vague contacts on Google+. We look forward to a future refinement.
Then continue with the translations. Some apps now have a button "translate" at their description, which basically will only call into question Google Translate on the fly to change the text in a language more understandable to us. In this case the theory is good, pity we did not understand when and when not to appear: comparing different applications, different languages, some of them had the button translate it and other were completely lacking. Also in this case we are confident in a future refinement.
If these two functions must be short andarsele a little 'to seek, we turn now to a thing you will see rather often. You will all familiar with the installation of new apps: you choose one, went on his page, click on install, accept the permissions and you will be thrown back to the description of the app while the progress bar will indicate the percentage of completion. Not any more. After accepting the permissions, and then return to the description of the app, you have inserted a new page, which you can see an example on the right. The aim is to highlight related app and installed by others, but the match as you know is not always the best, by clicking on "back to shopping" you will still be redirected to the description of the app to start. We did not find a way to disable this feature, which basically requires a tap in to install any new app. Annoying.
And finally we come to the last news, the only one on which we could hardly rely on something: it is now possible to remove items from the wish list by tapping on the icon in that list, without having to open a description of each app. It is the same method used to delete applications from the complete list of all the ones we have ever installed and certainly saves us a few more steps. Nicely done.
After then the description of the new features, I leave you the link to download the Play Store:http://d-h.st/ZZB
Thanks, i was just reading about it in the main android themes and apps forum :laugh:
Hello
I wrote a shopping list application, in which i focused on a speed in
which you can create a shopping list and share(and update after that)
it with your friend. So i avoided any forms often frequented in this
type of applications, and came up with a very simple design. You would
just enter your items into the text field with some autocomplete,
adjust the amounts, then click sharing button, select your friend and
that's it.
I also use Google App Engine for server side to keep this free.
I wrote this a while ago, now i would like to improve it to add some
more features, so any feedback and ideas for improvement would be much
appreciated

Cool app. I like it. Clickable link :

I got this idea to many time ago, but was something like ( you should add it) a "social tasks" list, for example, there are some few tasks to do at home, you put this in the social to-do lists and everyone in the family could see the lists, and when the tasks are completed, they should be notified or the task deleted from the social list!!
Just watch the démo vidéo ans it looks really nice !

Really nice app, follows some feedback:
Try to implement the native ActionBar or use SherlockActionBar. Using just the native ActionBar will make your app incompatible with versions below 3.0. Using Sherlock your app will be compatible with 2.1 and above. This will make the app more integrated to the system.
Other changes you can make on this aspect is read the Design Guidelines (sorry I can't post links), learn some thing about good designs and look for other apps searching for inspiration.
Good! My housemates install this app too!

Hi @GammaL, great app!
Can you please add compatibility with Hebrew language? I mean, not a translation - an RTL support on the shopping list.
Please refer to the screenshot I added, to understand the problem.
You can see that the First item in the list is in English and is perfectly readable. The second item, is in Hebrew and automatically aligned to the right, so it's getting in line with the other buttons.
I use OurGroceries app. It is a pretty similar app and easy to use it would be worthwhile a look for feature set. That app also works on iOS and BB platform making it appealing to much wider audience. http://www.ourgroceries.com/

Agreed Holo please. http://developer.android.com/design/get-started/ui-overview.html
Also, maybe you might want to integrate Google Tasks or some more popular to do list manager, like Any.do or Toodeldo. That would make this app truly extraordinary.
Downloaded it but have not tried it yet, but I like the idea
Was wondering, how the data is transmitted from one phone to another ... is it over some server that you have setup?
What if other users end up with similar names? Would every Maryxx receive the list?
Would it be better if those big "- & +" are replaced with a simpler "< & >" or maybe even a manual entry box? Reason for a manual entry box is maybe the item required is 2.5kg or maybe 1.5 cartons or 1.5 litre of milk.
Thanks for your app
How do I login to a username or nickname that I've already created with this app? I downloaded it Friday but flashed a new rom Saturday, so now I can't use the same nickname I created Friday, and my wife is annoyed with me lol.

I had the same problem. This is the only weakness in an otherwise great app. The advice was to create a new new name and get the wife to share again. Was a but complex to achieve.
Sent from my GT-I8160
Today I reinstalled the CM rom on my phone and while I was upgrading my apps, a notification appeared on my phone making me upgrade Google Play Services.
I understand that it is a necessary app and all of that, but did you realized about the high punctuation it has in the Play Store? If you read the opinions, on the most useful section, they talk all about the same: "I can't upgrade this app because it is so big and now I can't use my phone" and all those people give between 1 and 3 stars, but the app has 3.7.
So I changed the section to "Newest first" and started reading opinions. There were a lot of then with comments like "P" or "nice" and 5 stars. If you also look the profile of those people who comment on that app, you can find profiles with any information, just a 5 stars punctuation on that app. And nothing more.
A screenshot of one of this profiles can be found here: nicovell3.es/playServices.png
I suppose these profiles are generated by Google workers to elevate the punctuation of that app, and I understand that they want it to have a good image to make people trust in downloading that app but... I'm not sure that's the correct way.
What I want to ask is: if Google controls in that way the Play Store and we continue trusting that company, what will prevent it from making us believe what they want?
I post this here because I think this must concern all the app developers which produce apps to post them in the Play Store...

Hi, I discovered now that I accidentally named the 2nd version of the keyboard after someone’s trademark. I immediately renamed to the previous name (which I checked now as well for registered trademark) I apologies it wasn’t on purpose by any means. I had two versions of the keyboard so far - the first one was EffectedKeyboard, the second one is just EffectedKeyboard2 from now on. If you encounter any violations on my side or on the side of EffectedKeyboard and its derivatives, please let me know. I take them very seriously and try to fix them much before anyone tell me about them.
Many thanks,
Yours

Ahola! Gang, I updated description and added my personal story additionally. When will I see your comments??
Has anyone from here tried the app? Still long time after submitting the post no response.
I updated the description along with some screenshots. If you haven’t checked the app, please do so. Looking for your feedback.
Hi, nice keyboard i think you are used AnySoftKeyBoard source code Right?! So could you please give me the source code of your forked version if it's and open source I just installed your from Google Play it's nice and have cool features with less options different from Menny's one!

EffectedKeyboard2 is based on Open Source.
So first of all, thanks for commenting.
What do you need its source for though? Menny’s source is available online under Apache License.
Mine you can deserialize if you’re looking for suspicious behavior, etc. to see that there is no weird-weirdo stuff is going on. You just won’t be able to recompile it, but yet once again I don’t want people to take a ride on my success in future and publish versions of my keyboard with stuff like key-loggers and other sh** that collects data. If you look carefully, you’ll realize that no one could even actually install it outside of play store. Why. Once again because it’s been gone through enormous trials to be unsuccessfully pirated and be uploaded to 3rd party stores.
If you’re looking for EffectedKeyboard2 source code as a friend, just to fork and add some features, then there’s a way to get what you want.
Generally speaking there’s an option to drop me a ping from within the app. Once we talk, I’m always open to hear new requests and if you saw the comments, tens of users got the features they wanted and they sort of like the fact that they can just “ask and get” what they want.
It’s not that I charge anything from anyone of them. It’s more of utilizing the capabilities of what is possible rather than going violent into something illegal or doing something forcefully planned as being perceived intolerable. For those cases there are indeed lots of suitcases, lots of jailbroken devices (where people’s credit cards disappear…) and many people who just live in this circle of hate.
My keyboard is based on Anysoftkeyboard, legally, I also spoke to Menny a couple of times. He’s a great guy and a great engineer.
Anything that is in the grey area, or sort doesn’t have clear answers right away get very very shortly fixed just right away, once something in that manner appears.
And if you’d like to have a good read and understand whom’s whom, there is an About section inside the app, which is literally an About section if that makes sense. I mean there is actually an informative information inside there.
Does it sound quite good to you?

I just asked to you if your project is have an open-sourced like Menny i really want to fork for my personal using and adding some new features like new emojis from Android 12L or create more themes to main app or adding new languages to the available list inside the app itself nothing else but you were talked to my N' you think I'm the theft or bad guy to steal you work NO absolutely you are fault about me because I'm not the app developer and donn know anything about hacking or something One of the accusations you made against me without knowing who I was. It was very sadness word's for me. I'm sorry I bothered you I asked you to the source code in a nice way but you rejected by the bad way that's so strange IDK why you call me a PIRATE!!
Dear @GorranKurd, I understand there’s most probably been a language barrier.
First of all, under no circumstances I referred to you as a pirate. I assumed you wanted some features (and if you translate my reply to your favourite language you’ll see that as well: ) I suggested you to drop me a ping, and simply ask for the list of features that you want, especially when I do that literally for free of charge. And so I did to all of my users who’s been asking.
As of piracy, and the part you are referring to: I said that there are malicious users over the internet against whom I have defense. They add Internet permissions and other (as I referred to sh** stuff) unwanted behavior to ANY kind of software — not only keyboards. They they steal both mine and YOUR data and credentials. Referring to the same sentence, I’ve added that you CAN and MIGHT WANT TO and IT’S OKAAAAAY and welcomed to decompile my code and see that there is literally NO unwanted behavior or any intention for such. Since you realize that it’s like, I mean… A keyboard. People type passwords and credit card numbers with it. I said you simply won’t be able to recompile it back.
I hope that now it makes a little bit of more sense.
I realize that I tried to sound as much clear as possible and put many details, but please understand that others will read it too and they’ll simply want to be informed on as much many details in message as possible.. As of yourself, would you like to drop me a ping? Via email for instance? That way I’ll be able to explain anything in more personal way, without being worried about the rest of the community who reads the messages and of course to work with you on the new features (you mentioned new smilies, themes and languages). You’ll literally be able to command on anything you want . I welcome you to read the comments on the app in the Play Store to see how others enjoyed the process. And no, 99% of them are not friends and family, those are people whom I came across the Internet just like you .
Does it sound better now?
Please let me know if anything else still sounds offensive, or bad, etc. As you might have already understood there were no such intentions.
[EDIT: I didn’t succeed to quote twice in a row, so I hope you’ll see this. I hope you won’t remain with the negative impression you’ve got.]

Bro, you misunderstood me. I asked for your code to make more improvements and adding new features because it has a simple and beautiful interface that only contains the necessary things that are necessary for the user for typing you nailed it that you removed the Files & Storage and contacts permissions are no required to work app, So and I think it's good enough to have only one permission which is vibration control and other Google Play Billing is okay and safe permission! because of that i like to use your for daily using and typing it's smaller size with important options and I think is much better than the original one!

Hiiiii
I’m so glad I don’t sound like a monster anymore!!
I understood you are asking for the code to make improvements, I simply tried to cover as much topics as possible in a single message.
My keyboard is based on open source, but it’s not open source. I was talking about an option to drop me an email since it’s much more convenient to talk about such things there.
As of improving the keyboard, we will find a way to improve it in a way that’ll work for both of us.
It’s not open source as you might have understood, it’s based on open source.
Would you like talk about the things you’d like to add? Do you use it?
May I ask you where you from? What languages you’d like to add?
If you really want to code, then at least the themes are pluggable. You can upload them to the store and use them inside the keyboard.
If you ask me, many Menny’s users were trying to improve his keyboard and just gave up because it’s TONS over TONS of code. I wouldn’t say that helping for free does worth the hustle.
And that’s why I’m offering working on what you want together - you have the keyboard, so just ask me what you want, I’ll deliver and you’ll have it on your keyboard 100% usable and what you don’t like you can simply ask for changes, even 1000 times.
But you really don’t have to code new features for me for free. I plan to earn money with that keyboard one day, so why would you work for free for whilst someone is getting paid.. I mean I would hire you, but I don’t have how to pay you.. And allowing you to work for free (since again it’s going to be a commercial product) is sort of a bad sense. If someone helps me I want to give back, but I cannot give back for someone who’s coding for me.
You are able to command and tell me that this this and this suck or excellent and you want this this and this. And those are the sort of things that I’ve been doing with other users.
Does it sound cool?
Like I’d like to clarify: people like you who ask for new features from me, who know what they want to see are pure gold for me. I mean I’m searching for such opportunities all the time. So I wouldn’t like for that to be missed.
And thank you so much for describing what you like in the keyboard!!!!!! I analyze the things that people describe from time to time and learn many lessons from those descriptions.
You rock! So would you like to make a list of the things you wanted to add and improve?
Would that work for you btw?

Hello again dear @vitalipom haha no no you are a good man and smart at same time, first of all sorry about my bad English and misspelling because it's not my native language!
I'm a translator and added my language Kurdish to the Menny AnySoftKeyboard from an early version i think was 10 years ago when i started to translate the app interface and then a learned to create a language pack to AnySoft till 2020 i just used the mennys keyboard as my default keyboard but they occurred some issues and bugs that caused the program to crash and freeze on screen you may knew that bug! Because of that i stopped use that keyboard and replaced by Samsung Keyboard after the Sam team was added my language to the Sam Keyboard on OneUI 3.1, After two or more years in the past month i tried to test AnySoft again an notices that the bug was fixed .. And then about your keyboard i saw an old issue on AnySoftKeyboard that you put you forked version on the replay comment and i found yours by that way I installed and loved it's cool and simple nice ui/ux but i looked to my language Kurdish it was not there because of that i search on the net and google takes me to here XDA ... So I have a lot questions and i wana help you if you wanted too i can create new language pack for my language and you include in your app also i have and old forked version of menny main project that i created to many cool themes and so on..

I would LOVE to get your help!! Thank you
As of Kurdish apparently you can install it, I’ll just have to add it to the main UI. Generally, simply install Menny’s Keyboard Kurdish language pack - the one that’s in the Google Play Store that works with Anysoftkeyboard and it’ll work right away.
So first, let’s see that Kurdish works for you.
And then we can try to see what else you’d like to have in the keyboard. But first let’s make sure you have a nice set up keyboard you can have for your daily usage .

@GorranKurd Did you happen to succeed installing Kurd on my keyboard? You just install Menny’s one (for Anysoftkeyboard) and it works for Effectedkeyboard2 the same way as well.
I know it’s not under Languages in Effected Key, but I’ll add it there later as well.
If you could drop me a direct message, I’d send something small and nice for you as well. (It’s a surprise.)
Let me know when you happened to be here around .
