If you are plagued by typos, Typewise 3 may be the keyboard you need for your iPhone. The makers of this app suggest that it can make typing 33% faster and reduce mistakes by a factor of four.

The secret to Typewise's success? The app features unique hexagonal keys, which are apparently the key to faster, more accurate typing. The app is also more visually striking than the typical iOS keyboard.

Also worth a big pat on the back is Typewise, which puts privacy at the heart of its product. The keyboard works flawlessly offline and claims to "never ask for any suspicious permissions." According to the company, it does not collect or transmit any data. It also does not sell advertising, which is sure to help maintain privacy. Apple's app privacy card confirms this - some usage data and diagnostics are collected, but not linked to the user.

How to use Typewise To use Typewise, you will need to spend some time training in typing. This is not a simple QWERTY layout, and the keys are in roughly expected positions, but it will take time to master them. However, the large keys are definitely designed for thumb typing.

If the hexagonal layout does not suit you, you can revert to a more traditional keyboard layout with Typewise. However, if you do so, you lose the more sensible key shape, which is a big part of why this keyboard works so well. However, one can still enjoy Typewise's word-suggest feature. The gesture to delete text is also very intuitive once you get the hang of it.

The app is available in a free version from the App Store. You can upgrade to the pro version for $1.99/month or $9.49/year. Features of the pro version include the ability to create typing shortcuts and change the font size of keypad text.

Another great news is that Typewise is available for the lifetime price of $24.99.
