The overall functionality is decent and fairly easy to use. Beware of the autocorrect which you can turn off in the settings, but you can't really turn it off. My biggest issue is that I find it hard to believe that Google cannot do better with their voice to text, which is largely not worth using considering how much I have to go back and correct.

Everything about this board is good, but there is one 'feature' that absolutely revolts the whole experience. Occasionally, when a typo is made, pressing the backspace will delete one or more entire words for seemingly no reason at all. I can see no rhyme or reason, no pattern, and it occurs only when I don't want it to. There is no setting to toggle this off. Never once has this 'feature' helped me, and it is so frustrating that I ended up switching boards because of this.

I used to love this keyboard. But it keeps getting worse and worse. Especially the voice to text. Doesn't understand what I say half the time. Quits working halfway through a sentence. Gboard grammatically makes errors on a third grade level almost every sentence. Something's changed for the worst. I used to be able to use it in loud noisy environments with almost 100% accuracy. Now I'm lucky if I don't have to repeat myself three to four times. Considering other options.
