Horrible update! Let us choose the layout so we're not fumbling to find the new placement of keys. It was fine before. Search/enter button in a bad spot now. Keys are tiny and much harder to read. Emoji button swapped. You all need to understand a design change on a keyboard that's been the same for years is not an easy adjustment. It was a great keyboard. Love the swipe capabilities.

Gboard is mostly a great keyboard app (probably the best on Android) marred by serious flaws: the clipboard history doesn't actually retain history, the microphone is currently too easy to accidentally enable, and the spacebar has dual purposes which makes it difficult to long press for cursor movement when it also enables other languages. Otherwise, it's a great keyboard and very intuitive.

I used to love this app before the most recent update. It was by far my favorite keyboard. Recently the theme keeps reverting back to Dynamic Colors seemingly at random MULTIPLE times a day. I've tried selecting my preferred one with no luck, so I tried the other options, including in the different sections. Still not working. I've seen numerous people complain of the same thing. If it gets fixed I'll change my review but for now, this incredibly annoying bug is a big issue for me
