Hi, I haven't given up on it yet. I do want it to work because of its extra features, like being able to read what you have written without having to dispiss the keyboard.
I am on the MBraille email list and have made Harry aware of the spellcheck feature not working in the thirdparty keyboard and the three fingger swipe right never dismissing the keyboard, but I have not received a helpbul reply from him. For me the issue of not being able to dismiss the keyboard has existed ever since the thirdparty keyboard became an option and has never been resolved. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the next update makes the app actually usable. Cheers, Brett.
