I'm not concerned about the slipperiness of the glass, as I can grip the
thing just fine. I just can't type worth a damn on it.

Chris,
I have the same problems. I don't think this App is for me either, and the
glass is too slippery so I'm afraid I'm not for this App.

OK, um... this is just my thought, ok, take it or leave it. First of all,
there is plenty of screen real estate on even an IPhone 4 to not have to
put each section of the braille dots virtically. They say hold the phone
with you palms facing each other. I did this. I had a good grip of my
phone as well. When I placed my fingers on the screen, I'm getting very!
undesired results. This isn't a matter of go to advanced settings and
flip dots 1 and 3, 4 and 6. This is more a matter it just isn't accurate
and not very forgiving. I don't really have very big hands either. So my
two palms facing each other, my two thumbs basically resting on the back
of the ;hone oppisit side from the screen, home button on my right as I
have portrait mode locked. now, I tapped once to activate the keyboard.
now, I find my hands are sideways. rather than dots 1 2 and 3 going like
a perkins, where 1 is on the right 2 to the left of that, and 3 to the
right of that, it looks more like the braille literal letter l. so 1 on
bottom, 2 in the middle, and 3 on top. Same on the right side of the
screen with 4 5 and 6, and visually the blue braille dots even are aligned
virtically, across each side of the screen. That's really dumb in my
book. Going totally in landscape mode, when holding the phone as I said a
second ago, even without the extra row of real estate I get with my 5,
even on my old IPhone 4S, I still have enough room to type a full braille
cell with all my fingers going left to right, from left to right going, 3
2 1, 4 5 6. So, why the hell make each half of the cell align itself
virtically? That just seems a bit well... I was gonna say idiotic, but I
think I'll be nice instead and just say... awkward. Second of all, the
docs say you don't have to line right up with those braille dots on the
screen as it's very forgiving. Not for me? it's not. I tried typing the
letter h, 1 2, and 5. sometimes it thinks I want an r, which is 1 2 3 5.
some times it thinks I want an exclaimation mark which is 2 3 5. one time
it thought I wanted a question mark, which is 2 3 6. So, yeah, ok, am I
missing something, or is this app really just that stupidly inaccurate.
Surely damn well hope the former as this is ridiculous! I can't figure
out what on earth I may be doing wrong. I'm following the docs to an
absolute T!
Chris.
