How to install Classic Big Keyboard APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Classic Big Keyboard APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.appstech.classic-v8.2.1-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

4 ★So far it's OK. It needs work in when to capitalize and more options for word suggestions and grammar. For example it is not giving me the first letter of the first word in a sentence as a capital, while typing this. And when typing 'its', I am not getting the option for 'it's' as a word suggestion. Sometimes with a period it correctly puts it at the end of the word, without a space, sometimes it puts a space after the word. It's inconsistent. and.the.spacebar.and.period.question mark.spacing....
3 ★Ive been using a high contrast... Yellow background with bold black lettering for a few years. I've switched phones, down graded to LG Styli 4 from Samsung Note 8,, and could not find one keyboard that didn't require me to download lots of apps in order to activate it, muchlesz a highcontrast y/b. This classic keyboard is closest I could find, that gave me a keyboard that I can sort of use: darker grey bkgrnd on #'s & punctuation keys; LTE gr alpha keys/blk lettering. OK, not good.
1 ★Disappointed - the layout is pretty but not functional enough. It keeps adding periods between words. The space bar is too small. The predictive words are either non-existent or an absolute joke. The emojis pictured are not the same emojis that shows up. It doesn't auto correct obvious words. I had high hopes for this but guess ill keep looking.
3 ★I like a lot about this keyboard, however, when l add a comma or period it adds a space first. Often times it doesn't capitalize the first letter of a sentence. It doesn't seem to be able to learn to predict what I'm writing and sometimes offers ridiculous suggestions. I often end up tapping out the whole word unless l switch back to the google keyboard . But I'm keeping it for what l do like .
5 ★The only keyboard that doesn't constantly make me want to smash the phone into tiny pieces. I like that it doesn't try to censor me or insert garbage that I never intended to type. I had all but given up on the whole Android platform until I found this. It's not quite perfect, but it's the best there is, especially for highly literate and multilingual users.
4 ★Larger keys and the numbers are a separate row on top. Pretty good word prediction, but doesn't prompt corrections once I've moved on. Also, sometimes it will add an extra space after the word with prediction, meaning there is always a space between the last letter and the period of the sentence . Just like that .
2 ★The keyboard is much better than gboard, but gboard will quickly suss out e-m address reliably. this would be 5 star but for this and.. word prediction and spelling are inexplicably bad! Misspellings are mostly treated as items to be entered into the dictionary rather than being offered a correctly spelled alternative, for instance, Thursdsy. Sentences do not begin with capitals after a word is corrected. All deeply irritating on an otherwise good keyboard.
4 ★Thank you for a no bullcrap keyboard that functions well. Can only give it four stars for lack of a classic latin+alternate key with no hidden numbers style, and no layout to remove emojis while also having a larger or more rightward spacebar, but still worth the five dollars just to have one that gives you the option to disable the stuff you don't like or just don't use.
4 ★Ok, Sorry I have to edit my review from 2 years ago. Though, I'm not about to uninstall it, I have to give it 4 stars, because the spell checker isn't working on it, since I installed it onto my Samsung Tab A.☹ I have to keep it, because I love that I can enlarge the keyboard letters, and the black background helps with aging eyes.😄 Sure hope it remains free, because it makes corresponding, and web surfing easier.
2 ★Recurring subscription fees to bleed customers dry ad infinitum, without a possibility to purchase the software once and for all. On top of those, all customization features cost extra. In light of the fact that there are functionally superior competitor products available that can be bought for less than what this manifestation of greed will set you back in a single year, this milkingware has been uninstalled and replaced with a better alternative.
4 ★The ap does what it says it does and no ads but the word prediction and dictionary feature doesn't work very well. Very often when typing a new word only one word appears available for selection or you need to type amost the whole word before the word would appear availble for selection.
3 ★Please add new keyboard sounds. Out of the four options, they are either too annoying, or too quiet. With the app installed on my old Pixel 2 phone, the keyboard sounds sound different than on my newer Pixel 5 phone, even though the app is exactly the same.
