I've had Gboard since I've been using a touchscreen cell phone, couldn't even say how many years ago. But it is the best one out there, I haven't had any issues with it until just now. The issue started as I was typing and the word predict kept asking me to delete the word, but I never clicked on the word, and when I tried to get it to back up where I could type some more it kept freezing up and would not apply what I was trying to get it to do. Please fix this!!!!! I love this app.

It's nice, memorized it pretty well. Got pretty good with it. Although, I'd like if you could like. Change the buttons on the keyboard, and make them do whatever. Especially how the send button was changed to the tab or drop next to the line button. It threw me off pretty hard. I'd prefer if I could change that back to just the send button or whatever.

I love this keyboard. I have a suggestion for an improvement. There should be an easier way to enter plurals (of nouns) and conjugations (of verbs). For example, if I type in "ea", the suggested completions at the top might include the word "eat". If I were to then long press "eat", a list of variants could be presented, e.g. "eaten", "eating", "eats", "eater", and so on. Perhaps "ate" should also be listed even though it does not begin with "ea".
