Say Hi to the Ginger keyboard. Surely the Gboard (or rather the Google Keyboard) can handle tasks like a pro, we had actually gone ahead a made a wonderful list of all its awesome features, but the Ginger keyboard has taken multitasking to a whole new level. So, it seems only fair that we pit the Ginger Keyboard against the Gboard and see its unique features.
Interactive Games
Yep, you read it right, the Ginger keyboard contains five brain stimulating games like 2048, copter, a picture puzzle and my personal favorite –the evergreen Snakes. So while you wait for your buddy to reply back to your message, you can have a little fun by yourself. The games are easily accessible. All you have to do is tap on the menu button at the left corner and select the game icon.
The Smart Bar
Another one of the features which one wouldn’t find in the mainstream keyboard apps is the smart bar. Not only does it let you correct text and phrases on the go, but it also allows you to save text into other apps from within the keyboard. Sounds interesting? Well, let me explain it further. The smart bar contains a bevy of default apps like calendar, reminder apps, and search which lets you complete tasks on the go. Need to add an item to Google Keep while chatting in WhatsApp? Simple, tap on the Keep icon and either choose to open it or add the note from within the current app itself.
Stickers & GIFs
Because emojis are just so passe. The Ginger keyboard has an awesome list of stickers that would give any app a run for their money. If you ask me, a cute image of a hedgehog apologizing is unquestionably sweeter than a regular text. More the merrier as this comes at no extra cost of an additional app. Besides, the GIF search and is also a killer with its segregation of trending GIFs and the normal category.
Calculate the Charge
