ThickButtons keyboard app for Android Review

Description:

ThickButtons is a great app that solves a lot of people that get a brand new Android phone.  One of the biggest issues when switching to a smart touch phone is the touch screen.  Most people are not used to the touch screen and the skinny letters that are on the virtual keyboard.  People are used to the bulky buttons that they can actually press in and type on their phones.  Without these buttons, people feel lost and feel like they forgot how to text or literally can’t text because their fingers are too big to handle the virtual keyboard.

This app solves all of these problems because someone with bigger fingers decided to make an app that would help those people of us that have large finger sizes.  The Thickbuttons keyboard app integrates with the Android keyboard function.  The new keyboard that the app creates has bigger area size to be able to type.  this makes it much easier to touch the right letter the first time without having to correct your texts so much.  This is an answer to many android user’s prayers as they can’t use the keyboard that came with the phone because their fingers are too large.

While it does keep the old keyboard essentially the same, there are some differences.  This keyboard does not offer speed benefits and does not allow the voice to text for android 2.1 devices.  There is also no learning library on the keyboard so it won’t remember words that you use often. This is still a great app for people that want to be able to type out a text that have large fingers and can’t use the stock keyboard that Android comes with on their phone.

Features:

  • wider surface area to touch letters
  • easier to press to type texts
  • does not offer voice to text features
  • does not offer learning library
  • does offer text and word prediction

People with bigger fingers will celebrate with us that this app has been made.  it really makes texting so much easier on a phone that may seem really hard at first.  if you feel that you have larger fingers, this is a great app to help you get your way around the Android keyboard.  Give it a try if you want to start having an easier time sending a Text.

Conclusion:

This app is free and has been given a 3 1/2 out of 5 star rating.
