By and large, I love this keyboard. I do, however, absolutely hate that when I'm typing things that involve certain punctuation - particularly dialogue, which needs quotation marks - In certain apps, it adds spaces in incorrect ways. Particularly in Keep, I have to go back and correct all quotation marks by hand, because it's inserting extra spaces. That aside, and not withstanding, it's my favorite keyboard.

I have used only android devices since they have been available. A few years ago, this keyboard was the absolute best. Swipe texting was spot on and predictions were near perfect. Over the last couple years, this has diminished severely. Predictions are horrendous. "The" is NEVER suggested at any time when swiping. (Always replaces with them, there, their, or some variant.) If and It are always switched. And, or, and our are constantly incorrect. Auto corrects to word that I have Never used.

(Edited 4 years later) Somehow over the last 4 years this keyboard has become unusable. The speech to text has literally gotten to a point where it's not even worth trying to use anymore. It's also got some weird predictive text feature that I don't want, I cannot turn off, in interrupts the voice input four or five times per sentence. I would stay away (Original:) I would literally give my life for this keyboard. I would die for you, Gboard.
