A basic and functional keyboard

App developers often forget how practical it can be to reduce software functions to a bare minimum, to the most functional. That is just what the developers of Simple Keyboard have sought to do and, as the name suggests, it offers us a minimalist method of entering text.

Lightweight and pared down to the basics

This application has been designed to offer essential keyboard functions while eliminating anything that can lead to an increase in the consumption of device resources. That's why what's not here is perhaps just as important as what is. These are the functions that it does offer:

• Reduced size of less than one mega.
• Adjustable size for different screen types.
• Allows us to set the color of the interface.
• Supports several keyboard types.
• Reduced number of permissions (just access to device vibration).
• Available in several languages.

And this is what it doesn't offer and, according to the developers, never will:

• Emojis.
• GIFs.
• Spellcheck.
• Swipe keyboard.

To sum up, if what you want is a keyboard for Android to write without anything getting complicated and that is not full of options you really don't need, this simple keyboard is just what you were looking for.

Requirements and additional information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.4.
• The installation of the app by means of the APK file requires the activation of the "Unknown sources" option within Settings>Applications.
