Guessing this is US only for the moment? Is there a release schedule for other countries?
Bri Connelly
@darylthetwit Yeah, US only for now. Except to see more languages/country support in the near future.

@bricon5 any plans for additional color themes such as dark mode?
Paul Gosnell
@bricon5 @darylthetwit any timeframes for other countries? UK?

Kind interesting that Google ignored thier own Android OS for this launch? Whyyyyy?
Tom Masiero
.@brynatweets They were already boxed out of Spotlight search on iOS.. this gets them back in front of users for free.. BRILLANT!

And i am just sitting here in germany and crying about the "item is not available" message :(
Bri Connelly
@kaiburghardt I pinkie promise it's on the way.

Never thought a 3rd party keyboard would replace the default. But, Google...
Dillon Nichols
@sandrojazzar Yeah, this is the first time I've kept another keyboard longer than a day. And I don't see myself ever switching back.
Irakli Safareli
one thing i'm missing is 3d touch support for moving cursor as is in native keyboard
Bri Connelly
@safareli Not quite the same thing, but you can move the cursor around by dragging your finger on the space bar.
Dillon Nichols
@bricon5 Don't know if its intended, but you can swipe left and it'll go up a line at the beginning. But if you swipe right it won't go down to the next line. This is assuming newlines at the end of the text.
Bri Connelly
@dillon1337 Thanks for pointing that out. We'll work on a fix!
Andrew Palmer
Not available in Canada? :(
Bri Connelly
@andrew_palmer I know, super sorry about that. Coming very soon though.
Andrew Palmer
@bricon5 That's okay. No need to apologize though :)
Philippe Dame
@bricon5 Great to hear!

This is the first great keyboard I've installed. Ten times more productive than the normal keyboard, but still looks visually like it belongs in iOS. Fantastic work.
Johnny Hill
@micahbrich Agreed—this is my fourth Gif keyboard now, and I'm reeeeally hoping it's my last...

Great product! @bricon5! I just tried to text a friend "want to grab a drink tonight" and nothing happened..?
Bri Connelly
@bhavesh You have to send the message (or add punctuation) to see the magic
Bhavesh Patel ✌️
@bricon5 I did send the message and put a ? At the end. Still didn't do anything. On iPhone 5s
Bri Connelly
@bhavesh Hmm. Try "Want to get dinner tonight? ". It should trigger "Restaurants near me" in the suggest section.
Bhavesh Patel ✌️
@bricon5 that seems to work!

This keyboard is so good I'm getting rid of Emoji and English.
Yonatan Ruback
@nivo0o0 I did as well! @bricon5 when it's possible to type Hebrew, Gboard will be the only keyboard i use.

@nivo0o0 How do you make screenshots like this with iphone?
Niv Dror
@cherianthomas recorded myself doing this in QuickTime by connecting the iPhone to Mac. Then when I had the video I made a GIF of that part of the screen :)
Cherian Thomas
@nivo0o0 Thanks much!!

As a mobile dev, Keyboard flexibility would be really good on Android. Like pasting images directly in the field.
