I love that I can customize the keyboard to truly make it mine! it allows me to type less and go faster. I am 52 years old and have Rheumatoid Arthritis, these are two very important things to me! You can use glide or tap. You can get a theme background. You can change languages quickly with one button depending on your selections. But everything is made clear before you select it. Best and most flexible keyboard ever. Maybe you like it on way now but later you need to change it ... Gboard

I'm not sure if Gboard is using Gemini for autocorrect or what, but recently it's been incredibly frustrating because it will change entire *correct* words when I'm typing. For example, I typed the sentence "I had to move my motorcycle with a flat tire" and it changed it to "I had to move my motor with a flat tire." It also LOVES changing "absolutely" to "also." This happens CONSTANTLY and it's annoying because I know the words I want to use! I'm using the correct words!

The update where you changed it so you have to rotate your phone to send a picture is very inconvenient. The original layout was completely fine. It's also difficult to navigate my photos now. I can't access my albums anymore without having to click into 5 different things (not an exaggeration). It's not the end of the world, but it does make the app less user-friendly to a degree that I'll probably switch back to my phone's default messaging app.
