Date & Time Keyboard Pro 4+

I LOVE this keyboard! I was looking for something to “timestamp” documents (specifically in the Notes app, bc it rewrites the “created” date every time it’s edited.) This is the only keyboard app I found that had exactly what I needed… and SO much more! I was so excited and pleasantly surprised to find that ALL the keys on this keyboard are customizable.

I wish I could provide a photo of how I’ve set mine up, but I’ll explain the best I can: Using 3rd party font/symbol keyboards, I customized the keys on this keyboard to output my most utilized symbols and arrows. I also set it up to “sign” my name in a cursive font, and made the key text read “Me” in that same font. I have “line break” keys that output a string of . or - to use while taking notes. I also have keys for “Created on”, “Edited”, & “Today’s Date”.

I no longer have to switch through 3 keyboards to get what I want. I literally use this app daily and especially when typing notes and creating documents.

Another use for this keyboard (which I will probably do with the free version now, is to program each key’s output as a hashtag/key word. Then it would be super easy to tag documents and photos quickly. (Copy/paste is great as long as every tag applies to every photo, but that rarely happens!)

One complaint and two suggestions:

I started off with the free version, and while I didn’t need the added feature of the pro version, I find it so useful that I wanted to support the devs (and hopefully encourage updates!) Only problem is that I had to start all over and reprogram every key when I switched to pro. It would be great if the free version had an “upgrade” feature for a one time purchase to upgrade to pro. Or allow the pro version to import the keyboard from the free version.

Besides that, I would LOVE to see the capability to resize/add/move keys in Pro. At this time, while each key is totally customizable, the size of each (space it takes up on the keyboard) is static to the same size of the original text. For example, the key that is labeled “contact” by default is 2.5x bigger than the default “1” key. I’d like to be able to resize that key and add another, to get two keys in that same space. I think this feature would be a MUCH more enticing incentive to upgrade to Pro.

I’d also love to see a way to create multiple keyboards. You could switch using tabs, or other keys, the way the “shift” key, “#+=“, “ABC” and “123” change which keys are shown on a regular keyboard. (Now that I have both the free and Pro versions, I have two, but it would be cool to be able to switch while using the same version.

I hope the devs read this and consider adding these features, I truly believe it could increase the success of this app. (Also consider advertising/leaning into the customization aspect on the App Store. Right now, this is the only result for “customize keyboard keys/buttons” which allows you to edit each key’s output. The rest are either keyboard skins or “font” keyboards.) Thank you so much for this amazing app! I look forward to updates and additional features in the future!

Useful App. Very easy to use.
