How recently have you tried it as a third-party keyboard? If very recently,
then I regret your bad experience. I, too, had thought I had wasted my
money on the third-party keyboard option, until I tried it again last
weekend. I don't know what made the difference, an MBraille or IOS update,
but it works well now for me. I am running it on an iPhone 6, with IOS
9.2.1. I do need to learn more about the Apple braille keyboard, just to
have another alternative.

Wow! I am so glad your MBraille experience is different to mine. I bought it
before iOS braille was introduced and as a standalone app it works well and
does have more editing features than iOS braille, but as a third-party
keyboard, it is the buggiest program I have purchased. There is absolutely
no support from the author at all.
For me the three finger swipe right to dismiss the MBraille keyboard never
works. This is replicatable 100 percent of the time. Seriously, if your
intrested in braille, learn to use the iOS keyboard and don't waist your
money on purchasing bugs. I have received better support from apps that were
free.
Cheers, Brett.

keep seeing a lot of flack on the mBraille list about how flaky some of
this is, but I took to it and would prefer this method of
working than any other. I haven't bought the feature you describe, but
worked pretty well the last time I tried it, which is a
hwile ago now. But I'm still on their list and I suppose there's no more
flack there, than here about the rest of iOs.

I already had MBraille before the Apple Braille keyboard was released, so
I have not taken the time to learn to use the Apple
keyboard very well. I find it to be not quite as refined as is MBraille,
although that very well could be due to operator
incompetence. Also, it does not have the word processing ability of
MBraille. If I want to edit anything, I have to use the
regular Apple keyboard editing features, which are not as easy for me to
use as those in MBraille.
A few months ago, I purchased the option to use MBraille as a third-party
keyboard. At the time, it didn't seem to work very well
for me as a third-party keyboard, so I forgot about it until last weekend
when, for some reason which I do not remember now, I
decided to try it again. I deleted that emogey keyboard which I never
used, and enabled MBraille as a third-party keyboard. It
works well. Now, when I am in a text field, I can tap the next keyboard
button, and although the transition to MBraille is
occasionally a bit flakey, more often than not, it goes right into
MBraille. I write my text, am enable to correct any errors or do
any word processing I wish to do with MBraille. Then, I Place my fingers
onto the keyboard as if I were going to write dots 4-5-6,
and do a three-finger swipe right (being in landscape mode, I mean a
three-finger swipe toward the home button.) It then inserts my
text into the text field, and I am back in the regular keyboard. No more
copying and pasting.

Yes, I do use both the MBraille and the Apple supplied on-board keyboard.
I love MBraille a lot, in fact most days. I think it is
more accurate than the Apple on-board keyboard. Maybe, though, that is a
user perspective and the errors could be mine!
I am not too keen on using it as an extra keyboard, because it's a bit
tricky to use it in this way, because of the other
keyboards that are already installed. I wish it could be on the rotor!
Anyway, I quite often use the old method too, so I can open
the app and then cut and paste accordingly, because in some ways it is
easier and I like it better! What I do like is to have proper
key clicks when typing. I'm afraid this is one of the disappointments of
the Braille app by Apple which you can include on the
rotor. By the way, I use the "away mode" " because it's the only thing
that really works for me. I can't imagine becoming proficient
with anything other than this.
If you have any further questions, do come back. I hope this is helpful!

Out of curiosity, how many use VO Braille screen input, and in which
mode/orientation (screen away or table top)?
