I have not played with the Gboard iOS app but I re-read the article Richard included in one of his posts on this thread and it mentions that Gboard is customizable. I don't know if customizing is required in order to show the number row on the keyboard but you had to customize the Fleksy keyboard to do this.

I was going to get a Note 7 but, as I am not a pyromaniac... (smile). Anyway, the default keyboard on my S 6 has a number row and it truly is convenient. I've never checked but I think the default keyboard on the S 6 is the Samsung keyboard. So, perhaps we should look for a Samsung third-party keyboard, for iOS, instead of the Google keyboard. For many, many years, now, I and others have been lobbying for a number row to be added to the native iOS keyboard.

There's supposedly an update that puts the number row in on this keyboard. I have an android phone as well as my iPhone, and I have been waiting to get the update to the Google keyboard, but so far it's not showing up for me. I had the impression from what I read, that the number row was already present in the current version of Gboard on iOS. So what you are reporting is disappointing.

On the iPhone 5s, there is no number line, you have to toggle numbers the same way. But, there is a period just to the right of the space bar. Also, if you have touch typing on, touching and releasing the return key enters it, while on the native iOS keyboard you have to double tap. Plus it does have the activate google search right there.

I believe there is a ULA that one must agree to when installing a third-party keyboard, is there not?

I wonder if anyone has tried it and whether it works with voiceover. For me, the most interesting thing about it is that it seemingly includes a number row, without having to switch like you do with the standard Apple keyboard. That would be nice.
