For a while, it feels like it can't even do what I expect, let alone surprise me in any good ways. The voice to text is horrible. It misunderstands me constantly! Common example: The word I wanted was "fits" and it gave me "fence". I tried to correct it and it gave me "Fitz". Then I had to go back and manually change it. Fun! Who's in charge of this?? 😩 With Google's resources, I feel like it would be simple for the app to look for context clues and make any corrections easier. F this.

1. Really disappointing that it still doesn't capitalize the letter i (see?). 2. There are three buttons in the text box taking up space. At least two are redundant with other ways to access that functionality but these cannot be disabled and hidden from view, which would allow more useful space for message text. Fix these and you'll get 5 stars. PS Playing with the autocorrect and auto capitalize settings does not fix the "i" issue. This happened on my pixel 3, 6, and 7 phones.

This is a good keyboard in many respects, but it has one very annoying flaw: the period key is too small, and (more importantly) the clickable area of the key seems to be even smaller. The effect of this is that you will inadvertently activate the spacebar, which is right next to it, and you will do this often. It is quite irritating, and it's a bug that I've never encountered on any other keyboard.
