GBoard – Keyboard app for the iPad, iPhone and Android

Screen Shot 2016-05-19 at 8.46.24 AMGoogle recently created a new app that works right within your keyboard. Use it when you’re texting, writing, or basically whenever you’re using the keypad.

It’s called GBoard and I am thoroughly enjoying it. The top three reasons I’m using it is:

  1. Swiping feature – This allows me to type faster.
  2. Gifs – It’s super easy to find a Gif (moving picture) that aptly describes what you’re trying to communicate.
  3. Searching – Search and insert links, pictures, maps, etc

I could try and explain just how to use it, but Google has already done that, so I’ll let you read what they wrote: Click Here

This app is rated 17+ so it is only available to staff or on a personal device. Enjoy!
