The arrival of iOS 8 brought with it the possibility of using third party keyboards. It did not take long for these keyboards to be in the top positions of the most downloaded applications in the App Store, but they have long since lost their prominence, either because we all already have the one we prefer or because they have ceased to interest us. Anyway, new keyboards keep arriving in the Apple app store and Slash it is a very interesting keyboard that might interest you.
Slash means slash and the keyboard receives this name because it is the symbol that we will have to use to perform the different actions, which are not few. If we haven't written anything yet, icons to Search, share our position, share contacts, share recipes, search on YouTube, find a GIF or search for Stickers appear above the keyboard, but that's not all. As we write, the options appear, such as emoji. The problem is that right now It's only available in English.
The way Slash works reminds me a bit of how the IRC chats. In those chats, we wrote, for example, "/ tells me hello" to write to the entire room that "Pablo says hello" in the third person. The slash was also used to write different commands, such as putting the password to identify ourselves or claim our status in a room.
Possibilities it offers apart, the best thing about Slash is that it does not seem to be worse than the native keyboard, at all. Other third-party keyboards make us feel heavy, but Slash runs with similar speed and fluidity to the Apple keyboard. And, well, there is also another positive point that is its price, since Slash is for free. It only asks, like almost all third-party keyboards, full access, which in theory serves to learn about our typing habits to offer better suggestions. If you trust, try it and you will tell me what you think of Slash.
